The short topspin serve is decently heavy for short topspin, it is pretty hard to generate heavy topspin and keep the serve short low and deceptive because the topspin will make the ball kick up and/or forward. You are never going to serve a consistently short and extremely heavy topspin...

Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha is probably the only viable alternative but you know the problem with that already... I think the issue is if you want to replace Liu Shiwen, who do you replace her with? And since they can't have XX and Sun Yingsha play against XX and Liu Shiwen, they are in a bit...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ7SPHY0BzM Taking off a two week break but this is possibly the first step of rebuilding....

I have thought about the rubber but I think given that the difference is between backhand and forehand, let me try technique before switching. The blocker said there is a noticeable difference in his view between the backhand quality and the forehand quality, so taking him at his word, and...

What do you recommend be done with the hand?

Basically, this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoAQA3JgaXQ I do it sometimes, I just need to do it every time. That's not one of my favorite TTEdge videos, but that is another story. It's not just an elliptical backswing, it is the locking of the backswing rotation with the body/hip by a...

The setup sounds great - good luck.

Well, I do know this stroke so it isn't completely alien to me and I have many hours with it. I just have to find a version of it that I can practice and trust while moving to a ball away from me. Lots of shadowing right now lol. I would argue that I do it sometimes in the video, but just...

I've thought about it some more and I realize that the way I use my arm on the forehand is kinda wrong with the backswing being to far away from the body to force me to sync it up with the hip - engages the upper arm and shoulder too much. Changing my forehand might hurt a bit so it will be a...

Definitely still have physical limitations, I have trained so hard this week that my knees and elbow are hurting (but I get two weeks off traveling so I hope the rest will fix things). Just trying to continue to look at my technique (otherwise, what is the point of practice) and of course, have...

Thanks. It's a thought I had so it is good to hear confirmation it is could be something to take more seriously (in my head when I am looping, the lag between shoulder and hip isn't as bad it looks whenever I see it on video and it is usually much worse down the line than cross court). I just...

Any tips to improve my forehand topspin? My hitting partner here said that my spin on my forehand topspin is less than that on my backhand topspin and I would like to see if anyone has any insight why so that I can figure out how to improve the spin on my forehand...

Whether it is good to take stimulating substances as part of one's improvement regimen? Depends on the cost benefit and long term safety. There is no single right answer. As long as you know the long term effects are not harmful, then you can do what you want. That said, there are probably...

IT could be Dignics 80.

This is the key thing - while lots of things in table tennis are level dependent, there is truly no single correct answer in table tennis to win or stay in a point all the time. IT is always style and context dependent and must take into account the abilities of the player. As a general rule...

I think the problem is that Xu Xin is a bigger force than Ding Ning. They also didn't take the singles prospects of Liu Shiwen seriously early enough. If they knew who the 3rd player on the women's team was, they could have done that a long time ago. Unfortunately, Chen Meng bombed out, Sun...

SO Hirano won?

Lol. They are reigning mixed doubles champs for Japan I believe. But Morizono had no.chance for singles/teams.

Old guard fend off new generation.

I wonder what happened to Niu Guankai.
