I coached Truls as a kid. I agree the grip looks really nasty and the overall playing style do not look so schooled. But also not such a good example. He had really good conditions as a player, good coaches and almost always played against better players. But I do think there is a lot of evident...

Okey, good that you have found something that works. I still think the quality will improve even more if you are able to relax the arm more in the beginning :) I believe in soft loop with a lot of spin or a hard loop. Between is not as good, but if the placement is good and low i think you have...

I think the consensus is that with the plastic ball you do not have to drop the arm as much since it is much less spin. As long as you have power and can move the arm fast. I believe in bending the legs instead ang go up a bit ther, then try to go forward in the stroke. If you learn to go up and...

If i understand correct you mean a flatter hit? Ma long, Karakasevic, and especially Pistej are really good at this. I would say it is important to: - always start with racket angle very open, like you are doing a push. If the ball have heavy backspin - flip with that open racket angle, if the...

This is everyone all the time. Only the number one in the world that feel differently. I think I have more internal motivation compared to external. Winning and competing is not so important. I just want to keep developing and have fun. Also do not need to evaluate everything. Can just be.

I feel the game had more variation with the smaller ball so maybe try to go back to 40 mm ball.

I do not think players always rotate so much so the heal is off the ground on the right foot. I do think that before players had a lot of forehand feet, with left feet in front of the right. Some players still do. If you do not i believe you need to turn the right foot to the right or at least...

Before VAR the service rule was impossible and hard to follow for the umpires. Not a fair rule for them. Can not have a rule that is hard to follow. Difficult to sit on that side and see how the serve is hit. Now they can atleast fault serves and get some help from the pictures. Still hard, if...

In the fourth highest league in Sweden and up there are often educated umpires. Edit: at least pretty often. Have to be a even higher umpire ”överdomare” for all the tables in all tournaments.

I like semiballs, so something inbetween. Like short, keep it short or long push. Or long push, opening and block free. Things like that.

Just watched some minutes of the first match. I think you should look at tacticts and strategy more in match and technique in training. You need to have more of a strategy. I feel like you seem better when you are attacking yourself. So should try to serve and return so you get to open...

I personally think that almost all hook serves are borderline illegal with throwing the ball back and hiding it while reverse pendelum often are more okey. I think the serves are pretty similar and more subjective which one a player prefer. Feel like i have a harder time reading the hook serve...

-multiball - semiballs -less serve return - more irregular footwork exercise. They block everywhere; you focus on footwork, try to play a lot of forehand, play softer. Also get this a bit natural against worse players which is good . play softer, focus on techniqe. Better against worse player...

I think it will be way harder to get a correct stroke mechanics with a soft blade. The ball sinks in, you get longer contact and not as good technique. Almost worse control because the blade flex and bends, and ball goes a lot upward. I agree not to fast is not good either. A bit stiffer 5...

How old are the rubbers? The blade is so little carbon so not that fast. The blade is slower than extra offensive if I understood ttgearlab correct that do analysis. Will definitely be easier to loop backspin and get spin on serves with a tacky rubber like china rubber or a hybrid. A rubber...

802-40 is an "old" rubber. I think Rakza have less grip but have built in speed glue/booster effect so much faster and softer. Can imagine it is easier to use rakza or similar rubber that is a bit faster and softer, at least more fun. But rubbers with more grip is also more similar to inverted...

I use Korbel now. Have played with short pips forehand for 20 years. You want a thick short hit. This is easier on faster harder blades. Get much more arc with 5 ply blades but harder to get the correct contact and the blade feels a bit flimsey. You can kill someone with 802-40. Much easier...

I am of the opinion it could limit you development to play against to god opponents. Everyone wants to play against better players, as good as possible. If you are still developing your strokes i believe playing to good opponents a lot will make it harder to adjust the strokes becauce you need...

I do not think anyone can answer that confidently. But i am pretty certain the level in general are much higher in Sweden compare to the US, so the last two groups will probably be pretty high.

Lol i tried to instill You missed my point. There is a lot of semi-professionals and professionals that will never reach top 100 but you can still live on tabletennis. Also meant that becoming a professional is not everything, can also mean a lot to become good at the sport. And i also tried...
