  1. Video Footage Safe Thread

    I think your footwork can get quite a bit better. Truly it is a very long process and will definitely never be perfect. But the goal is better, not perfect, so that's okay. Here are some suggestions fwiw. Record some every time you practice or play games, and watch it soon after. It doesn't...
  2. kristian Karlsson lost to Kanak Jha!!???

    Pitchford must be a good coach too. Jha played very well and Karlsson didn't have his head in the match.
  3. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Hi LDM7, thanks for posting your videos. I only watched the first one vs IDKHN, so all comments are from that.I love how you changed up your serves from all backspin to a lot of topspin and no spin. Then when you came back to backspin he put a few in the net. You are playing backhand...
  4. Why would you use short pips?

    Because it's fun.
  5. Tips on analysing between points

    You already know your own game pretty well, what you can and can't do. So thinking about your own performance or technique isn't going to help much in a match. Think about the other guy. There are some basic obvious attributes of his game you should try to spot early, like in warm-up. Does...
  6. Need a wood upgrade

    Then try one of these from Aliexpress. It is the same as those blades and costs less...
  7. Need a wood upgrade

    Timo Boll ALC or viscaria are the two most standard choices. I mean there a lot of possibilities. But if you play in a club with more than six other people the chances someone plays with those two blades is very high. Ask if you could try them out for a few and see how it feels to you. If...
  8. Harimoto beats Fan Zhendong 2022!

    This sky angle sucks. It's completely worthless.
  9. Tap or counter on my loops against backspin

    A player in my club specializes in smashing loops also. A few ideas without video. Loop at his body or elbow. If you loop into his hitting zone on either side you are just feeding him. Make your loops lower, or else very high. It sounds like you are playing safe loops vs push. Those are...
  10. Limba/Ayous Carbon blades

    You may enjoy this. https://stervinou.net/ttbdb/index.php It doesn't have your senso N1 blade. But looking for Limba-Ayous-ALC-Ayous-ALC-Ayous-Limba brings up Hurricane Long 5. Is that the composition you like? Innerforce ALC is the only limba-limba-ALC-ayous-ALC-limba-limba in that database.
  11. What sponge thicknes should i use?

    If your level is quite high this could make a noticeable difference to your results. But then you wouldn't be asking on a forum. So pick either one - it will be fine.
  12. Forehand attack pattern for lefty

    I vote for elbow.
  13. Looking for advices on forehand

    Your wrist is not adding anything to the stroke. Otherwise to me it looks okay. Not amazing, but okay. Like everyone else said, you are very tense. Try to let your wrist swing freely and don't hold it in that cocked-back position. I suspect only that one small change would add a lot to...
  14. Backhand rubber for beginner, nittaku acoustic.

    What happens if you flip your bat and play backhands with the R7 regular? You don't have to use two different rubbers, R7 both sides could be fine.
  15. WTT Houston Disaster

    Okay I'll try to answer this. I like the side angle because imo play over the table has become the most important part of the game. And you see everything over the table from the side view, but very little from the diagonal. I hope we all agree the view from directly behind a player where all...
  16. Viscaria for a beginner

    I don't love those rubbers, at least not the flextra. That's what I started with as a beginner and it wasted some time. You said 'serious coaching' which is fantastic. Find a coach and ask him what rubbers to start with.
  17. Should i stay with equipment i am succesful or switch

    Stay with the long pips. You can attack with your fh, it is inverted right? And you are pretty young, 28, so probably you can move and play a lot of forehands. If you want to learn backhand attack maybe practice twiddling. then you can backhand attack on an easy ball, also forehand attack...
  18. Stop someone from buying to fast rubbers

    Personally I doubt he will get much worse results. TTR 1200 ~ usatt 1500 is a level of play that tolerates many unforced errors. Probably he will adjust to the faster rubbers and still play pretty much the same like himself. Maybe the wild misses will be wilder, and the occasional brilliant...
  19. Talking big.

    Carl, thank you for banning BB. I asked for that so thank you. Maybe I am too ignorant of maths and physics, and definitely not a millionaire businessman, so nothing he ever said in any incarnation (Pnachtwey or BB or others) ever had the slightest usefulness to me. All he did was insult...
  20. How to play against "wall" player?

    Judging a player's level by their loops alone will cause you to lose very many matches. If the guy is a blocker, and his block is ~2200, he is a 2200 player. The defender in my example is 2100 (for reals usatt, not an estimate). His loop is zero, can't hit one at all. It's not like you...
