Thanks for your tips Lula! To throw in the counting is a good idea, as kids like the challenge. I think I will also do other "hit-back" sports to let them feel and experience the differences, have fun, use bigger and smaller movements and get a feel for the movement of a ball.

Training Week for Beginners In two weeks from now I am going to lead a training's camp with two hours training per day for a total of five days. Its an optional course kids at a local school can visit during their holidays. Now I am looking to put together a set of cool beginners exercises...

Jea! :) Glad to see you back NL! And glad to see this thread living up! I am watching a lot of third Bundesliga level and below matches and noticed that most of the shots that the pros are doing aren't suited for basement players like me :) better keep it simple and safe. Working on taking out...

Interesting. I pray that they send some our way :D

I bet Dimitri would beat most of the posters in this thread

The match is over and we won! However, it was a hard earned win with casualties for everyone of us. We won 7:3, starting out 3:0 in the first round. Then they came back with three wins against us for a 3:3 draw, for me it was against my nemesis... the one I was afraid of losing to and that's...

Heya all :) had a little break due to holidays... i feel like i need more to recover from the ones i just had >.< Back to tt, today we have our next match and im going to film it ! Here you can see the group development so far. We are third place and today we are playing against the team...

Some footage of todays Training The first Video is a quick match against a guy from the same league ( our teams were supposed to play each other today, but we had to postpone the team match) The first and the last game had some good exchanges in it :) The second one is part of our training...

Thank you very much for watching my games and the advice! These are very good points your brought up. I need to work on consistency not power. I really have to use that upwards snap of the forearm. This goes together with the recovery and me watching the ball too much. I am going to focus on...

Here are the promised recordings... However i am pretty disappointed in the outcome... we lost very bad. All the stuff i worked on in the past time and that had started to come into matchplay vanished that day :( I really don't know why i kept on pushing the ball back with the forehand as...

Big Match today! We are playing against the favorite in our group. If we manage to beat them we have good chances of going up a league, which would be the second promotion in succession. I am really looking forward to playing their ace. And I am going to videotape it! Somehow im missing my quick...

I second that! Kids tend to get bored really fast if you keep on explaining, let them figure it out by themselves and stop the exercise after some time to give pointers and let the exchange about their experiences.

Heya how are you all doing? I just got a new Phone, the Huawei 8light something... Whatever it has got a very nice camera... meaning im going to record me playing again! Yay, looking forward to how bad I look in comparison to what i think i look like. So the season has started in Switzerland...

Sad to hear about your health problems, but on the same note i congratulate you for finding your better half :)! I wish you both all the best and may you come back to TT stronger and healthier than ever! Much love Boogs!

Good luck! Same goes for our team this season. We had our first match in the third league and we won it 9:1! :) Its a lot more fun in the higher leagues. I subbed in a first league game and got crushed :D But was a good experience, i managed to somewhat play along and even took a game off of...

Hey how are you all doing? :) we recently won the regional Cup. here is a recording of the last deciding match :D our junior used his sneaky tactics to beat his opponent. Also there is me charging onto the field after I thought he had won the match, turns out it was 10:2 only >.< haha. The...

great...

This is a really good question. I have the same problem. I found out that i have to turn my body into the shot more against such balls. Meaning actively turning the hip in and using the legs for a proper weight transfer. This can be very taxing... as its much easier to counter top with a much...

Today I played against a 2200-2300ish player. His forehand was insanely powerful and spiny. How can i block slow and veeery spiny topspins? On my Backhand i can block them quiet well. But on my forehand i have big problems. However, I am not sure why. I think it could be something like catching...

400 Pages of Daily Table Tennis Chit chat ! :D Yay! I have been lurking for a while now, had a drop of motivation to play because of rl stuff. Going to play a two day tournament tomorrow, I might even record there :) Not that happy with my game atm but well It certainly doesn't hurt.
