Look at the original shot from Liang and you will see why he hooked it.

Most close to the table loops can be played with the elbow alone so I am not sure what is not convincing you. Adjust the racket angle to compensate for the spin. If you are used to swinging from the elbow to play your backhand, then it is in principle no different from the forehand, move your...

You need to watch more table tennis. The reason why that shot isn't common at the pro level is that pros know how to handle the sidespin.

Both. Obviously, she doesn't mean chiquita, but my interpretation of her point is that it is too easy to loop the ball long or lose control if your stroke is too large and powerful. It is best to compensate with racket angles and maintain control of placement. With training and good footwork...

You didn't obviously take my suggestion but it's okay. Your stroke still looks fine in multiball, it is more important to see how it falls apart in a match. Doing 25 strokes like this is a waste of time for diagnosing serious errors unless it is similar to the pressure you face in a match or...

I bought two that were 88-89g - I think 90+ is an outlier. I think the blade is discontinued and they now have the Nexy Arche - KJH is now Andro sponsored at his new club.

IT's good that you sent him the video, you should have made him watch you earlier as most good coaches want to see how their students are playing. In fact, I would usually call a coach who never watches you play useless. Training general things cannot improve your game if they have no relation...

You are 100% right. Moreover, it's usually difficult to work with coaches who don't speak your usual language and I suspect I would get more out of the lessons if I spoke Chinese. But on the other hand, I am advanced enough as a player to appreciate what she says even if I don't understand it...

For those of you who are really into watching other people take lessons: I decided to despite my injuries and overworked body make a push for 2100-2200 level with training from a local coach. I haven't spent any money on organized coaching on a regular basis for almost 2 years now so this is...

It was a joke, people.

Then how did Liang Jingkun make the national team? :confused:

Usually, it means you are playing a flatter style (which compels your opponent to sometimes play a flatter style) or your opponent is playing a flatter style. Those styles usually involve more risk so you have to play with more spin to reduce the opponent's luck.

The -P evolutions use a booster that wears off after a period of time. Some people can't stand the way they play after the booster goes, some reboost, some just live with it. If you get the -P Evolution, or a Bluefire M series, smell the rubber, you will smell a sweet smell similar to to...

Could you be more graphic please? LOL!!!!

No, he wasn't referring to you. And don't worry, we like new members of all kinds (except the ones that come to cause trouble and you clearly aren't one if you are trying to meet other members on the forum in person - the trouble makers don't do that). It's the old members that don't let go of...

I am good against most styles but trick topspin serve and attack players are the ones that frustrate me especially if they smash. I like to play at my own pace so I hate being rushed.

The ready position you return to looks very different from how you would set up for forehand. But it might be the same. Just make sure the starting position is similar or you will be rushed in transition.

Point the racket more upwards at the end of the backswing and try to more aggressively hit the left side of the ball with your stroke. You might be struggling because under pressure, you don't expose enough of your racket to the ball to feel safe about the contact. The stroke looks fine in...

Yes, that was one of the reasons I stopped using Big Dipper - I used ALL+ blades, but the problem was that the rebound didn't let me block weak loops and I wasn't good enough to counterloop all the time. The thing is that some Euro rubbers have strong catapult. That is obviously not what...
