Not a shortcut but a requirement for sure. In principle, multiball is the repeated practice of anything. A form of reinforcement learning that can be optimized as necessary to make it transferable to the context which it occurs in. Once you know the right skill, multiball it, even that a...

Yes, it is the back muscles, especially the lower back muscles, that get challenged the most. Some of it is because many people lose control of the glutes as they age, but some of it is just not being used to being low - you also have to avoid using the spine incorrectly to compensate for not...

H3 is slow unboosted unless you let the tack wear off and play with it for a while. Easier to just boost at least once IMHO.

Nah, someone made him confess that he doesn't boost, he wants the H3 to magically become faster without boosting. He needs to move to Neverland.

While it has limitations as a tool, try to use your swing trajectory as a guide for the ball. In broad terms, the shape of your stroke should guide the ball and also be used to adjust to the incoming spin. As an upright player, I can speak about the value of being upright vs getting lower...

I feel they invited him to give Xiang Peng confidence that he could play the best in Europe lol. Truls is a superstar, no doubt about it, no matter his results in the short term.

Or K3, Rasanter 53, Golden Tango.

Ah okay, it's just rudeness then.

The other issue with your statement is that it was just wrong, which makes the rudeness far jarring. NDH actually captured the reality far better. When a player knows how to play consistently with spin (and TensorBackhand clearly does, whatever you think of his game limitations), they can tell...

Just change your contact point on the ball, it's not as hard as you think. IT takes practice to get the quality, but it's usually a mental thing with respect to the consistency.

It doesnt even have to be long pips, sometimes short or medium pips or even thin sponged inverted gave similar effects and would be good enough for what Gozo does. It is just adjusting to new material that is the problem but isn't fun. But up to about 1800, I could use short pips on my backhand...

Yes, but even in Opens in the US, we have a rating system with seeding criteria. So no one goes in 100% blind. The most important thing is that you found some fun in it.

Fan Zhendong vs Zhou Qihao perfectly illustrates my point about Weiqao having 3 #1s.

Played this week. Lost for the first time to someone. All the three games I lost were the minimum 2 point margin. I blew him out in the games I won. But he has really wanted this win for a while so I am sure I made his day. And he is a good guy, but I just like to make people wait longer...

Was hoping for this @JesperStef . Thanks for delivering!

I would try option 2. Going from an Inner carbon limba blade to an outer carbon super ALC blade is a significant enough change that you can learn something from it. Option 1 is cheaper though so you could always test it and see whether it gets you anywhere. But you could also just flip the...

It depends on what you are training. But individual fitness and endurance at a general level are far less important than table tennis specific practice for determining the level you bring to a single match. What changes is when you have to play many matches and train a lot of volume over...

Hey @Gozo , Sounds a bit unfair that you are in a tournament where you couldn't assess your level relative to whom you were playing before it started. Hoping the level you faced, should you decide to aspire to reach it, will influence how you approach the sport. We (adult learners) have all...

Aruna is play more and more backhand too... it is just the gap between both sides is large.

Not to the level of player you are currently pitching this to. That's what we are evaluating here, the limitations of the setup in simulating realistic play. If you want to measure seeve target practice, there are many ways of doing that, and yours is reasonable even if a bit large. Maybe a...
