  1. Berlin Coaching Recs

    Hi everyone, I'll be visiting Berlin with my wife (and surrounding cities) around last week of July. I was thinking about getting a table session or two in while I was there and I was wondering if there are any coach recs anyone has? Also if you have any club recommendations, I'm all ears :)...
  2. Thick Handle Blades

    Hello friends, My current main setup is Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition and I love it. One of the key things about that blade that I like is its handle, specifically the ST handle. I love the way it fits my hand, how chunky it is and the size. I also own Bernie Szocs Signature 1 blade...
  3. 3rd ball attack feedback

    Hey y’all, I was doing 3rd ball attack the other day and here’s a snippet of me doing that: Some of those I think are decent and some of them are 💩. I feel like for me to execute a solid 3rd ball attack everything has to be perfect: my position after the serve, my core has to be tight and I...
  4. FS: Hugo HAL FL 86 g

    Hi, I just recently bought (like a week ago from when this post was posted) a Hugo HAL FL from TT11 @ 87g. I ended up glueing rubbers to it, hitting a few shots and realizing I don't really like the FL handle and want to get a ST handle blade (I have another Hugo HAL ST handle on its way). I...
  5. Help with glueing on Xiom Hugo HAL

    Hi friends! So I recently bought a Xiom HUGO HAL blade to try out for my "new season" (after I finish with the two upcoming tournaments I have). I purchased the blade from tt11 (never had issues with them) but after trying to glue fresh set of rubbers (G1/C1) 3 times, the rubbers just won't...
  6. Building A Table Tennis Tournament App

    I've been building an app for fuguring out local tourneys, your rating etc. It's been somewhat annoying to not have an easy way of looking up tournamnets, folks that play in those tournaments, their performance and how you stack up against those folks. So I finally decided to build an app. I...

  8. Looking For Feedback On 3rd Ball Attack

    Allright folks, need your help / feedback: That's me trying to practice serve -> 3rd ball attack. FIrst is push to BH, then push to FH, then last 3 or 4 balls were random. What I'm specifically working on here is making sure I am in the "ready" position after the serve and that I am not...
  9. Trying to fix my robotic forehand

    I had an unplanned training session last night with one of the guys visiting for the tournament. Awesome dude, pretty high level. We were trying to fix my robotic forehand. As you watch the video you can see my fh getting better and better and towards the end its honestly the best it ever felt...
  10. Feedback on my league matches

    Decided to record me playing our local weekly league and create some highlights. Two things I did right: my bh was decent, I watched the ball (something I have to be mindful of). Major things to improve: After looking at videos my FH looks stiff and odd. Need to keep my feet more wide apart...

  14. How low is your stance (for loops etc)

    Hi! As a tall guy (~6'5") I'm trying to stay low when playing. However I'm wondering how low do I have to be? I was watching Falck and Samsonov and while those guys are in an athletic stance staying low (roughly where their hips are at the table height level), a guy in a club yesterday was...
  15. Drills VS In Game

    Hey folks, I'm finding that when I do drills (ie 2BH, 2FH etc) I do pretty decent. However when I play a match my footwork is worse then horrible. I was wondering how y'all work on "real life" footwork? One thing I am noticing is that I'm not watching the paddle & ball and have to remind...
  16. Large Hands And Flared Handles

    Hey folks, I have large hands and currently have a FL handle paddle. I have notice a few folk in the club have straight handles, and although I did not have a chance to play with a ST handle, they looked like they're a tad bit longer? Was wondering if they are more comfortable to play with for...

    Hi y'all, This is an awesome community and I was wondering what you guys think about two things I've been considering lately. First: Currently I'm rocking Rozena on both sides of my blade. They are ok rubbers, but my FH loop is getting pretty good and I was thinking about trying something a...

  19. Feedback on my loops against backspin

    So I have noticed that I have issues doing a fh or bh loop/topspin when someone does an underspin. If its topspin and or a flat ball my loops (especially on the forehand) are fine. Here’s a video of me doing forehand / backhand agains “medium” underspin on the robot. Feel free to provide any...
