  1. WTT Champions Chongqing 2024

    I guess we can agree to disagree, inverted (especially hard sponge inverted) has a higher threshold on blocking apinny loops than long pips and the change in ball quality and speed messes up players who are not expecting it, which is why Batra wins many points doing it at the right moment. The...

    Working for me.
  3. WTT Champions Chongqing 2024

    The problem is what happens when the pips player makes the block against a high quality loop, Sreeja just didn't land enough of those blocks. Goda managed to overwhelm Sreeja by being able to reloop which is more difficult than meets the eye without a good understanding of your own spin...

  7. Backhand topspin tutorials are useless

    I played arm only backhand loops for years and I turned out okay. We sometimes over intellectualize the learning process because we don't know how many roads can lead to Rome including thoae that take a seemingly wrong path. In the end, the main reason why you don't hit proper backhands in...

    Waldner hyped it up on TTD - how can no one be talking about if Waldner talked about it? :D.
  9. What are your top annoyances about assembling your own table tennis bats?

    Cybershape rubbers being different from regular rubbers to the point you can't easily switch them. Of course you kind of can but you know what I mean...
  10. Backhand topspin tutorials are useless

    Grip is something that is infinitely flexible and there are so many tips that in the end, the most important thing is to try stuff and see whether it works for you if you can't pay a coach to take complete ownership of your training. I have played with both my thumb on and off the blade for...

    Belgium and Denmark I believe sometimes play lefties doubles teams as well.

    Not a good draw for Quadri but he will do what he can. Felix Lebrun is tough...
  13. Two lefties playing doubles

    Also is a challenge depending in whether the stronger side is backhand or forehand. But depending on that, I would look into practicing serves that best set up your opponent's handedness. It's tremendous to play sports with Parkinsons, much respect to you for what you do.

    At some point, Odo may join them as well.
  15. 2024 WTT Contender Rio De Janeiro 5/20-5/26

    The one thing I found interesting was that the last two points that Nagasaki won with backhand, she went flat rather than spin and the change in timing and the magnitude of the moment made Hayata miss the ball. It was nice to see Miyu play with the kind of variation that she usually doesn't use...

    Thanks for these videos. What does your coach tell you about the power shots which he counters when you are off balance doing them for winners? Always nice to hear what a high level player has to say about such things.

    So the post dingyibvs made about Fang Bo describing how equipment was selected to enhance strengths made an impression on me. I thought about it and said, what is my strength these days and it is consistent heavy topspin, not necessarily fast and powerful, but consistent. So getting a fast...

    Hey, I will be the first to remind everyone who thinks Gauzy should play over Alexis for Olympics singles that Alexis is the better player with the higher ceiling. But he needs to improve his risk taking and shot selection sometimes. In this case though, he was playing a better player so it...
