What theory? Surely no one is ignorant enough to think that the ball doesn't lose spin, lol. It's a scientific fact that the ball spins less "the later you take the ball", otherwise it wouldn't make sense

Bro is going to try everything and end up with a racket that has a cocktail of 10 distinct scents all at once 🤣

In my humble opinion, it will serve you well for a quite long time

I have noticed that with YEO, it becomes better with your technique. If I need more power, I just put in more body and rotate more, as well as more explosively. Although recently, I have been thinking of making a switch to a Stiga Dynasty Carbon once and for all—apparently woody feel with good...

Here’s my (slightly controversial) take: When your technique becomes consistent and your style starts to take shape, you’ll naturally notice what’s missing—either by yourself or with a coach pointing it out. At that stage, you’ll know exactly what equipment you need. For now though, almost...

It's okay, no need to overcomplicate it. Just look up today's mainstream rubbers and pick whatever sounds nice to you (Tibhar Evolution MX series, DHS Hurricane, Butterfly rubbers, Donic Bluegrip series, Xiom Vega series, Nittaku Fastarc etc.). It's the blade that is the soul of your racket...

Nice choices. Although I'd suggest skipping Mark V and going for something more modern—outdated equipment afterall. You'd also save some money this way by investing in a pair of better quality rubbers that are relevant today which will also serve you longer as well as more efficiently. Less...

Difficult to give specific advice without seeing your technique, but here’s a set of bullet points I always remind myself of when I need to make adjustments mid-game: 1. Compact stroke 2. Forward stroke 3. Patience 4. Relax/calm — tense just before contact The key idea is that your stroke...

From the description, it looks like an obvious technical issue. The framework is pretty much always the same, equipment barely plays any role in that

Table tennis is one of those sports you really have to embrace for what it is. It demands patience and perseverance before consistency shows up. Personally, I never had a proper coach who matched my drive to improve, so I hit many walls and had plenty of days where I came home frustrated and...

Sounds like a great idea. The circumstances are uncertain, but I might make a trip, why not 😁

Yet you still do not win 🤔

Definitely not, especially with that price tag. It's your technique that makes the difference either way

Appreciate your comment! You are absolutely correct, I am still working on my toss, slowly getting used to throwing higher and making it more consistent 👍

Serve Update I’ve made it a habit to practice serves ever since I picked up table tennis. I learned the basics quickly and quite intuitively, however I always struggled with getting that clean brushing contact — especially with a Chinese rubber, resulting in incredibly weak spin or no spin at...

Pretty sure it's obvious to say that the longer the ball travels, the less spin it will have because energy doesn't come from anywhere. Racket gives the initially energy, everything after only slows it down. After a ball change, the ball loses spin incredibly quickly. Let's say you hit a good...

Appreciate your comment 🙏

Indeed, it's high risk, but high reward shot that requires great commitment. Although risk is significantly reduced with great quality, spin and placement. Which, of course, requires incredibly developed technique 👍

I see what you’re saying, but locking everything into "40–45°" is a very one-dimensional way of looking at it — and honestly besides the point. No pro plays like that. Watch any top player: their stance angle constantly shifts. Sometimes they’re open like you describe for a deep diagonal pivot...

For example, here I was aiming diagonally: Just as you have mentioned, left foot is in front, deeper rotation, shoulder facing down the diagonal 🙂 Down the line:
