Robots are okay for footwork drills and specific aspects of spin control. Not so good for other things. The sooner you find a hitting partner the better.
The answer is different if you play every day vs if you play once a week or less etc. If you don't play a lot you have to just accept it and try to play more. If you play a lot, you have to figure out how to get into the game until it has a chance to change. The thing is that if you do not play...
This is in part how I learned. But I think I went a bit too far to the technical side and have been thinking about how to reintroduce balance. When I resume coaching I will think more like this.
Sorry about your injury. I hope you get better soon.
There are lots of opinions online (admittedly not from players you know but they are out there). In the end, just focus in the ball quality and the ability to create arc that fits the way you play. For me I try to combine the fact that I...
You have already ordered the blades. Just test them and see what you think and then share. Usually I am okay with someone reporting their experiences using blades or rubbers or asking questions. But when it spans so many threads/posts with the same question being asked in subtly different...
It really doesn't matter how serious he is, he is a lock for the WTTC. Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan and of course Wang Chuqin are those that really need to work.

Playlist of the elimination matches that Robert Gardos played at Westchester TT club. There are edited versions of the finals and semifinals elsewhere on youtube, but not of the R16 and the QF AFAIK.
Yes, the word "rip" captures what I mean precisely. Everyone wants to rip a serve they can see (unless they don't want their opponent to stop serving it). It can be done with practice. But I wonder how much practice the OP has done. He has to try when he knows the spin.
Sorry, there is a very specific target of these posts - it isn't you. Carl knows who it is and I apologize for being so broad when you gave good advice. Some people have been playing less than 2 years but cannot help themselves post on every thread about equipment, technique etc. I am not...
He really isn't talking about returning it he is talking about being able to kill it the way he probably can if it comes to his forehand. Many players with good forehand and not so good or less confident even if good backhand often just want their backhand to be like their forehand and you have...
