I am finally going to give Tronix ZGR a go - not sure why one should prefer Tronix to Rhyzen for the ZGRs, but since someone a couple of people online I trust have given Tronix ZGR positive reviews, I will give it a shot.

The unfortunate part is he isn't even losing in a tournament match (doesn't sound like it), yet he has framed the situation in such a way that it will be difficult for him to get max value out of the experience of playing such an awkward player. You keep trying your technique with different...

With the caveat that ratings are earned in matches, not in videos, and that ball quality and game speed isn't always easy to see, the feel I get watching your games is somewhere between 1000 and 1600, but more likely somewhere between 1200-1400. Usually, if you can push long to someone and be...

Where are the loops that are easy to counter and block that you are complaining about? You play at a decent physical level, probably at least as strong as many of the commenters, there is nothing basic you are lacking in, everything is subtle things that may not give you the back for the buck...

Don't listen to what he is saying now, use the rubber for a few months first, at least till the end of July please, better till the end of the year - you need this for your development. The two shot sequences you are playing now are exactly what I have been begging you to play for a long time...

It's an impressive shot, well done - it doesn't really make flextra fast, but it is an impressive shot. Are you using flextra on both forehand and backhand now?

The first thing is the use of the forearm/elbow, it is extremely limited, you should leverage it a bit more to get more power/speed with a whipping motion - you are locking too much of your speed to your shoulder. Quality of contact and use of the lower body are also important to generate more...

The level in the video is a good level, not many players below a certain level can loop with such control and consistency and many players even at that level and above sometimes refuse to do it. There really is little point in criticizing a video like that, any changes would require an...

It's best not described as a mental block though it is clearly a mental and personal thing. In something like table tennis, you cannot ignore the importance of feeling in control. You also can't ignore the problems with changing behaviors that you might built up over decades of practice...

@Wrighty67, what DerEchte is saying about the use of your upper arm is what I mean when I say you should improve and maintain your squat ‐ leaning forwaed mighr also help a bit. This will improve your swing and engage your upper arm less since you won't be dropping the paddle as much. At a...

Tough weekend. Played TX State Champs. 4 events (over 30, over 40, u2000 and u2200). Got 3rd place in over 30 and over 40, got eliminated in U2200 and U2000 by a training partner who had never beaten me prior to eliminating me in those events (I beat him in the 040 quarters before he beat me...

The pancake is the foundation of a wrist focused loop, the circle traced by the swing is smaller in a wrist focused loop and is larger in an elbow focused loop and still larger in a shoulder focused loop. These descriptions do not mean that the hips are not engaged in all three of these. The...

Start with your paddle open and hit the backspin ball by supination the forearm a little (turning the racket over from open to somewhat closed by hitting the ball - Ti Long haa a good video of this for the forehand not sure whetherhe has an analogous one for the backhand). Do it to hard and you...

Looks good. I wish someone would feed you multiball because I don't have an idea of how much spin is on that ball but all that said, it isn't quite how I would approach it. The twist doesn't have to be as obvious. The most important thing is the squat to get your paddle lower but you don't...

Seriously, I am asking why ECL, a club championship in Europe and the ETTU"s ability to handle and reschedule it, is being compared to JTTA, CTTA etc. being able to reschedule events and asking whether Asia has an equivalent inter‐club competition that it is managing the schedule of relative to...

I will let you and Tony complete this new tangent until you show relevance to my original point. In the infamous words of the Sharks, thanks, but I'm out.

Okay. I guess everyone can decide for themselves if they are willing to wade through the links whether it is normal for an athlete to get punished for the failure of a nation to send a national team. Not holding my breath here.

Rather than spam, can you please cite what you find specifically relevant to this discussion that shows where a player is fined for not attending a national event as opposed to the country being fined for not fielding a team and the professional association that justifies it? I really don't...

Because you haven't been following the discussion. It is a bit much to read in isolation to one post and then pretend that someone who has been involved in the conversation and has exchanged ideas over many posts can't interpret it differently. It is okay to read it differently but arguing...

We can agree to disagree, I know of no situation in team sports where a country fails to send players and the penalty is addressed to the player ans not the country for failure to participate. This is the kind of thing that Quadri is speaking about when he talks of racism. Taking approaches...
