I think in general younger or less experienced players just think play hard, hard and hard. I feel like good players just step one step back and then it they can just chill. I think it is the difference that matter. Can almost play soft and softer, as long as they have to adjust. Truls can...

vary tempo and find the pocket.

Tried to focus a bit more on getting racket towards belly and relax. I think it was a bit better in the beginning of the training. This is the end, lost it a bit there. Also trying to do the motion slow, so i do more correct. Using Fastarc G1 here, almost a bit soft some times. Think i could...

But i assume much easier to attack against backspin with long pimple. Much harder to smash on nospin or topspin with it.

I think i was there 2021. Ended up basically sleeping alone with all the kids in the school haha but it was a fun experiment. But i do think the camp is to big. Same with Falkenberg. Still good camps, but hard to really keep up the quality when it is so many players.

Är det okej att jag skriver på engelsk? Tror de kan bli sura här annars 🙂 they are already bent at the ears, but still moves when I get wet. I train and coach in BTK Safir. Long time ago since I was active. Okey, good tabletennis in Halmstad. Was coaching at the summer camp there one year some...

Nice to hear that you are so positive! Also great self confidence haha, HandsomeSteve. Yeah, i think i will get better if i start training more. Before i practiced 4-5 a week aswell, now 1-2. Will try to practice a bit more. Cool that you glasses works for you! do you have some kind of rubber...

Can it be medium pips? Have a hard time understanding how he could play long pips without breaking. I assume it is softer if it do not break, but can it hen be so fast? No sponge and fast blade? Played with some medium pips. 563 was awesome but needed to change it after one week, even with a...

Did not know the chinese still used Hurricane on backhand. These are soft and fast enough for backhand?

Think the arc of the ball was way to high. Very unatural blocking backhand.

Yes, I believe more in moving wrist and arm then press with thumb to much. Yeah risky business to sand the handle I feel. I was hoping to have several blades to try it on. Too bad I got two stolen now.

Bad update: been coaching part time for at least 10+ years at this club. Usually do not bring my racket but brought it today. Usually leave bag in the ”coach room”. Yesterday someone stole my bag, left my bag but my racket case was gone. So need to get new rackets before training again. A bit...

I think racket head is like this since I try to hit the right side of the ball. Probably better to have relaxed and dropped. I’m just afraid that I will get to much angle so I hit the left side of the ball, think this makes it hard to hit forward. I always felt like I am good at hitting ”thick”...

I feel that the risk is higher that the shot get a bit wobbly and not so safe. I agree it probably comes natural with the wrist if racket head point inward. Thanks for the feedback.

Also find it hard to know how much wrist to have. To much wrist and I think it becomes unsafe but probably good for spin. And I think more risk with penhold that it get to much wrist.

Thanks for the long answer. Have also understood that there is a lot of variation in sanding and in grip. Use short pimple on forehand so open angle is okey there. Have tried some different grips and are not certain, asweell with the pressure on which finger. I mainly try to focus on the stroke...

Thanks for all the replies. I am on the phone hard to reply to everyone separately. But appreciate all the support. I think I need to give some context. Before I often felt like I played to much up and down in backhand and almost hit the left side of the ball. I feel like by hitting the right...

Okey. If you get really sore i still think it could be techniqe issue. Unless you are weaker than most tabletennis players in certain muscles. Sounds good to train muscles but i think you still should consider the technique, are you tense? elevated shoulder? Racket to high? But of course if you...

BH: active block against loop and loop against block Trying to do put racket more towards body in beginning, i think this also make me start the stroke earlier which i think is good. Felt at bit harder to time the stroke but i think it looks better than before, not letting the ball sit on the...

@latej I appreciate that you want me to come there :) Sounds like a cool thing, great community here! Also really nice when people are interested in tabletennis. I feel like many are interested in playing tabletennis but not the sport in general. @Oliverpool Do you tweak your penhold blades...
