How was your training shedule? I believe in physical exercise. With better cardio you will be able to keep the technique and with better strength actually move fast enough aswell get power from the legs. But I do find it hard how to balance all different types of training.

Not really answering the question but i believe in not judge so much, if i play good or in a good form. If you practiced more before and was higher level before you will always be discouraged after a practice. Same if you just have high standards. Think it is important to let yourself just play...

I think he played a very high risk high reward playing style? Looping primarily with the arm with that whippy motion at the rising phase, trying to kill the ball. Would be interesting how he would have played today? Feels like this playing style must be easier with the plastic ball with less...

Okey. I felt it looked like he served backspin and was surprised it was no spin and the opposite. The same in the open game. I am no expert against long pimples and it can be hard but I feel like you can often chose and be kind of certain which ball will come depending on what you played before...

Do not look like he have played a lot against long pimples? Feel he make many mistakes after pushing or looping. I mean with long pimple he knows what will come.

I agree that loop with a lot of spin is a bit of a cheatcode but probably need pretty high level. My backhand loop is have to little quality so need to read the spin better. If i could brush more the ball would go in despite reading the spin wrong.

- play against different opponents. - practice service yourself. Best is at home at the floor and look how the ball moves. Really learn the small difference. - watch the hit and movement: under ball or go down --> backspin and the opposite. Can also try to look at the elbow, if elbow is higher...

I work as a physiotherapist. Part of my job is lecture before bariatric surgery to change the stomach and private talk after. Also often follow up. The general consensus is that a big part of a persons weight is due to genetics. Before it was most important to survive so needed to have hunger...

haha, i can imaging swinging maces helps you to get the right feel of the flow in the swing. Is there another purpose of doing this? sounds crazy. I believe yoga have good evidence for pain and mental health aswell. I also find it very hard, much harder for me compared to strenght training...

Work as a physiotherapist. Would say today it is really beneficial for youths to do more sports. Have also coached part time for 15 years. Feel like kids today generally do not know there body so really hard to learn technique. Older kids that have started several sports often catch up. For...

Off topic but I find it more interesting to discuss why the Chinese are losing more these days? It just go up and down? Europeans getting better? Chinese not as good? More sports in China now? Better economy in China, so can live decent life without being a tabletennis pro? Feel like when...

You are missing the point. Then you are service return is to bad. Even with backside you have problems if the return is bad. I disagree that blocking is so much harder with short pimple, maybe less margin for error. Have played with short pimple maybe 15 years and started to twiddle a bit...

I do not understand the question really. The best ball in my opinion is when you get a spinny loop against you. More about the set up and quality of balls before. Samsonov had maybe best blocking game in the world, but if his quality of the balls before was to bad it did not matter that his...

Appelgren would be interesting. I believe he has much better feeling for the ball. Waldner probably reads the game better.

I always twiddle after the service, that works good. I have seen that video. You twiddle in the opposite direction compared to me. Feels like your direction should be faster but hard to get fingers corrrect on the backside. I think it is probably easier to twiddle with a more shallow grip. Maybe...

Hello! Played shakehand for around 20 years. Semi-high level. Changed to penhold last year and play around the same level. Have used short pimple forehand for a long time. Have tried to play a bit with backside on the forehand side. Much easier when i don’t practice as much longer. Feel like I...

I think keiler is pretty fast. I believe a lot of players use spectol with thinner sponge, at least before. Haha, i meant that i have not played against a good player using medium pimples for chopping.

It looks like you are standing a bit on the heels so the weight are not forward? would be much easier to move if you could become a bit more forward with the body and weight. I like have interested you are in the technique for every stroke. We are probably a bit similar there. I think sometimes...

Plays similar to Zhan Jian. Wonder if there is some connection? pretty certain he is chinese from the beginning. Would be cool if the chinese brought out more playing styles now when they are losing a bit.

Short pimple are good for chopping. Can create you own spin but probably worse control. Never met anyone that chops with medium pips but maybe the best middle way. For a bit more offensive play i think Keiler and Wildfire could be interesting.
