Don't really know where to start with all that but if your form breaks down when doing irregular drills then do them until you can figure out how to get your form to not break down. You are really overcomplicating things that don't need to be complicated. But if you want to receive quality...

You probably need specific tips and drills about how to make your footwork better or else that experience seems unproductive. And you can tell a good coach that you don't have high level training partners as part of your regular club and ask them to factor that into their advice.

You would probably be better off traveling to the nearest club with a good coach and good players, and just going all in on training and getting feedback for a few days or a week. You will have to spend money probably. Take the valuable lessons with you. In the end, that will be less time than...

Yeah getting advice on a forum where most people are anonymous is definitely a gamble, but since that is the one he has clearly chosen to take in a very intense way, he would probably be better off not exhausting all the people who have tried to help. I am also not sure if his end goal is to...

The way you are trying to utilize the internet to improve your table tennis game isn't going to be productive and it seems like it hasn't really yielded many results over the past year either. Best you can do is find the people who give advice that has worked for you and ignore the ones who...

With how massive some of the ESN player sponsorship deals are (in terms of direct salary) that have been signed over the last few years, I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the companies end up in really dangerous territory.

On this thread, where pretty much everyone told you your backhand receive technique is too unreliable and that the main issue isn't reading the serve or trajectory, and your response was basically "what the fk is going on, nobody knows what they are talking about, the issue is reading the...

I have suggested that on a few occasions before, but up to you

I'm aware, as I said, Frankfurt is where most international flights are going to get you into

Are you over 2200 or know a lot of people who are? You might be surprised how unaware many high level players can be about small details of equipment like this. Hitting harder seems to me another way of saying "full activation of the rubber".

Also only a ~1.5 hour train + short taxi ride from Frankfurt which is the main airport where most international flights come in from

What does playing away from the table have to do with it - hitting harder?

I don't believe that any hybrid rubber, D09c included, can last 150 hours without significant performance drop off that will noticeably affect your play.

Not true for every single shot, including the one you are struggling with here. Just because something works sometimes doesn't mean that it is reliable or the best way of doing something for maximum results. You could have this guy tell you what serve he is doing and to where, and with the...

It's not about adjustment. Look at the pushes and tap shots you did on the forehand - there was no adjustment, from the second you saw the ball you decided you were going to push and your hand stayed in the same position the whole time. Example at 00:33 at 1:58. Look at the two serves starting...

If it is a spin and trajectory reading issue how come you successfully received nearly all of your passive forehand receives, but missed a large percentage of the more active backhand receives? Because your eyes work differently on your forehand compared to backhand? Or because your technique...

I have mentioned before that Zezima using hard tacky unreactive rubbers on a blade like W968 makes no sense because 1) he doesn't have a lot of arm speed or acceleration even on his topspin shots 2) he often takes the ball when it has dropped a lot already 3) he "taps" the ball on most of his...

Emmanuel Lebesson.

There are high level players from the world class level down to the national levels who serve extremely illegally, who play in tournaments refereed by qualified referee. And yet they've been serving highly illegally for years and get away with it most of the time. That is my point. It sounds...

He probably wouldn't be faulted out of any decent level competition lol. I wouldn't assume that it is that malicious...definitely goofy though
