No wonder I haven’t seen that type of parent!!!

Haven’t come across that type of parent yet!! Pushy but not THAT pushy!!! Saw a video a few years ago, and a national level coach was saying that the youngsters that cry after losing a match ( self induced, not cos daddy was gonna be reading them the riot act, or because they were afraid of...

True, I didn’t feel pressured by Steve and his BH anti spin. should have won 3 zip. Adrain, our best player with an 80% win rate, lost to Steve ( Steve was playing up a division ) Adrian played a lot of high spin slow / medium paced loops straight to Steve’s BH, Steve ate these up and was...

Yeah, at first the down up motion seemed impossible!!! But now it’s well ingrained.

HI NL, ”losing is a powerful motivator” Yesterday I played in a tournament run by one of the clubs I play at, to add some spice into the mix, they invited some players from another club that play in a different league, and whose players don’t play in our league. So some fresh opposition. I my...

This is the way of things when it comes to Table Tennis, it takes time, stick with it!!! Try not to change equipment!! Ha this coming from a bit of an EJ!! Mind you I’ve only tested a few rubbers over the last 12 months, and not used a different set up in matches for I suppose about a year now...

Two wing attacker may be the way to go!!!

I’ve been playing a little better recently, but you are 100% right, it should have been easier!! I played Dave in the 1st half of the season and won 3-1, a much more comfortable win. I’ve been trying to get a kicker serve going with my FH punch serve, which usually has heavy backspin on it...

How’s Sergey doing!! Is he ever gonna sign up? Or is it a lost cause!!!

Well, I’ve played against Brs!! Last summer when he was in London, much higher level player than myself!!!

Hi LDM7, I’m playing severe catch up on this thread, busy week last week!! Looking good, so much improvement, SO MUCH!!! When I remember back to some early footage, chalk and cheese, You are putting the effort in big time, assisted by your partner in crime, Der.!!! Compliments to both of...

Dave has a slightly better rating, but a lower win % than myself this season. We know each other pretty well, played each other a few times. After last night it’s 3-1 in my favour. Close Match!!!

Steve plays inverted FH and Anti spin BH, our strongest player has about 80% win rate and lost 2-3 to Steve.

Perhaps……..????????? The term throw angle should be used for a static bat and Ball with no spin, a dead ball. Then you can measure a NATURAL throw angle. For a static bat and a ball with spin you can measure how spin sensitive the rubber is. Of course you can go further with experiments...

Hi LDM7, looking to get back to where I was in March/April 2022!!!!:ROFLMAO: I was starting to improve my techniques and consistency but 6 months out with the injury put a stop to that, what with not really having any more coaching since ( yeah, I’ve been coaching other people, but I’m in need...

There have been many good answers in this thread. I think the term ‘throw angle’ is always taken with a view to TOPSPIN play, because that’s the ‘NORM’ and is really quite one dimensional. It would be interesting to see the same manufacturers produce the lovely flight path trajectory for a push...

TACKY / NON TACKY BOUNCE OFF !!!!!

HAVE FUN!!!

I was practicing / learning serves a lot during covid lockdown, maybe 2 hrs a day, 5 days a week, I had time on my hands!!! Now it’s WAY less, and it shows!!! Yep I can still serve the various actions, but placement and spin variation ( can still do the basic spins, back/side, top/side, but...

Theres a couple of fun drills or games for short game we use. 1) play full table game, FH or BH pushes ONLY, try and keep it short - minimum 2 bounces on opponents side. A point can only be won when the ball clips the net and goes over OR the ball only bounces once on opponents side. If an...
