  1. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Penholders are the norm in the clubs that I have played at. More shakehand players would be a change. The only way to entice me is with good players :D
  2. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    So I met 42andbackpains today at NYISC. Apparently, he's there every Saturday. I found it shocking that he tried and tested 4 rubbers in such a short time. Are all EJ's like that? I played at NYISC where I met a bunch of players I haven't seen in a long time. Many members from CCCF, NYITTC, and...
  3. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    The camera angles aren't very good, so it's hard to judge. I'd recommend a front view that's not too high Your RPB looks like a Wong Chun Ting style RPB, which I use to do (I'm currently trying to raise my elbow as an experiment). I can't really see what your are doing though, but I can see...
  4. What's really going on.

    the rubbers on the new paddle can generate lots of spin because the racket can grip the ball with friction. However, at the same time, that means the racket is now a lot more sensitive to spin, since the ball can grip the racket with friction. You are simply not familiar with playing with...
  5. Name of your racket?

    If I had to name mine, it would be my name, David. When I miss, I say, “damn it, David!” Or “David, you have to spin the ball”. Now, I can interpret that as me talking to my racket, instead of talking to myself now :D
  6. Are you Right or Left eye dominate? Simple test right here.

    Left eye dominant. Left handed. Forehand dominant. Very interesting test.
  7. How do you yourself notice your progression

    With the way I practice, I notice my progression in a different way. In matches, I may notice that I am subpar when doing a certain shot or shot combinations. When I practice, I practice those shot/shot combinations. When I play matches again, if and when I come across the same scenario and I...
  8. Design your 3rd ball attack

    I'd say that this is constructing a point in general and that it is really important to plan out at least the first two hits (including the serve). I wouldn't really say that these are tips: this post simply tells you what options you can make and decide on. Tips would suggest certain options...
  9. Pendulum back/sidespin serve for forehand dominant player

    Good question! with the pendulum sidespin, it's actually easier to push to the forehand since it is actually more dangerous to let the sidespin lead the ball towards your backhand. Not only that, with the sidespin on your serve, the push will naturally also have some sidespin as well. The...
  10. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    I think he's leaving on 1/17/18. He retired 2 years ago, but I don't know if he's still playing leagues.
  11. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    He couldn't do his high toss serve cuz the ceiling is too low. But yeah, his toss isn't exactly vertical
  12. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    So after watching He Zhiwen forehand flip a bunch of serves three days ago, I copied him and now I am pretty confident in my forehand flip, both on pushes and on sidespin/sidetopspin serves (I've been practicing it these two days) You can watch him start playing in 29:50 in Robert's live video...

    2 days ago, he hit with some people in the club, but he's mostly giving lessons. He's ok with photos since it happens all the time. I don't know about autograph.

    With He Zhiwen at my club right now, it's wrong to say that he uses lower physical effort. He still hits like a truck
  15. LF: a tutorial on how to block (in Chinese)

    The Wang Hao instructional is full of RPB techniques. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrrIDgT6TnY EDit: the blocking part is here https://youtu.be/mrrIDgT6TnY?t=2278 However, I have a feeling that your friend isn't trying to do the flat block. I think he's trying to do a technique called 快带...
  16. Service Receive

    I look at all the above. Ball contact, flight path, and even looking at the ball spin in midair all helps. Ball contact can be broken down, such as how fast the paddle is moving in relation to the ball (helps you figure out the amount of spin), and the paddle angle and direction of movement...

    I know Matt. So the other guy is you?
  18. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    In case if you guys didn't know already, He Zhi Wen (an old world class Lefty Short pips penholder) has been coming to my club (Robert Chen's club at<cite> http://aacct.org</cite><cite class="_Rm"></cite> ). You might seem him coaching in the afternoons these days, ( and you might see me :P...
  19. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    The first part is flipping an underspin ball. For this shot, the motion isn't very bad. There isn't strong topspin in the shot; instead sidespin is the main spin. You bring up your right foot and put your body close to the table. Just as the ball starts descending, start at the bottom right of...
