I am a physiotherapist but do not actually work so much with assesment of pain. But i am interested how come you get pain? There are so many tabletennis players of all kind and many are not so fit. Are you very unfit? If so i think general strenght training would be good, even so for your...

Just started playing again this week after almost one years break due to health issues so have been pretty far away from tabletennis. Maybe i can go next year :) Will really think about it if you can teach me backhand topsin haha :)

Forehand counter/smash This i think acutally look pretty decent haha. Maybe can try to relax the arm a bit more and have it a little more closer to 90 degree in elbow. I play with short pimples on forehand side.

Okey! I think i try to brush over the ball on purpose because i try to get spin in the ball. I agree that i could play more thicker and push forward more against top spin, i think i usually do more like that. When i watch chinese women tabletennis on youtube i think it looks like they play more...

Block against loop What i notice: - i try to hit the right side of the ball more and have the racket high, but feels like elbow then almost get to close to the body? - Hit the ball a bit in front of me --> fast change between bh and fh but the arm is almost already extended so have no power...

Thanks for the feedback. I have played backhand a lot before by going up and down so i think i am partly more tense since i try force myself to go more back and forth. Will try to relax more in the future. I also think that if i could get racket head more towards my belly i will get some more...

Hello! Have been a long time lurker here. Held pretty good level when i was "active" for ten years ago. Needed motivation so changed to penhold for maybe 14 months ago. Unfortunately due to health issues, mostly with dizziness and blurry vision i have not practiced for maybe 11 months. Have been...

My experience is that if players have a hard time to brush the ball it can be easier if they try to hook the ball and hit on the right side. I think this help getting the correct forearm snap motion. Also important to have the racket high. If you drop to much the ball will be so much higher so...

If it is the push Pistej and Karakasevic is great at i think it is very nasty but also very hard to read the correct amount of backspin and topspin. Personally i think it is easiest against short sidespin shorts. Feel like it is hard to the opponent to read whats in the ball. Often are a bit of...

I think many short pimples will be pretty similar to backside. Need to go medium pips or faster anti.

will add this: - maybe the ball before the opening loop have to little quality - do not get these balls in matchplay. serve and return so you get topspin against you - but maybe a non issue? if you know they will counter you van be ready to block - just practice opening loops and it will get...

How are you going to eat and sleep? I think the best would be to get tabletennis at the school time. I find this ambitious but i also think it would be hard to do long term and get quality. Especially with the early mornings. I coached Truls in his first club, and pretty sure he got training in...

I do not find it justified to burn so much money on one rubber sheet if you an hobby player. Maybe it is just me that need to get payed more haha

I agree you need to change so you can practice more before/during school hours. I do not know how the coaching is in the USA, but would really need a coach with experience from pro level that know what it takes. I have been coaching part time for lika 15 years, also played a lot myself and...

I think you need a good forehand attack. The opponent need to be afraid of something, otherwise they will just loop soft and are not forced to errors. I personally think short pimple choppers or twiddlers are really nasty. Very hard to play a hard stroke if the opponent do not know the spin in...

Your ambitions are impressive! With this attitude you will get better with any technique. Technique is also so relative! All players do differently and coaches focus on different things. Like some others in this thread say, as long as it is good quality and work in match play it is good. This...

Good players counter loop hard on opening loop.

Better to step out: - moves faster forward. Better to learn to step in/jump in on left leg. - need to have body with weight forward to be able to play the stroke forward, as we need especially on topspin. - if you are close you get on the heels and can not move well - hopefully you get a...

I think everyone do a bit differently, as long as the quality is good but in general: Push from the ground with legs and maybe belly out then forearm if you have little time or if the ball comes deep but mostly arm. If the ball comes slow and not so deep i think people tend to try to use the...

I find the exercise too difficult. Would be easier if you know where the block is going. Also think just hitting in the air, like you are throwing the racket as far away as possible with backhand and forehand. Can not get energy into the ball if you arent relaxed. Then do the same with multiball...
