Topspins used to be explained completely differently than they are in modern table tennis. Previously, a topspin came much more from the shoulder and the ball was also taken much lower with a long arm movement. Just look at J-M Saive's topspin move. Many more injuries were sustained because over...

Perfectly legal service. Better than some top players.:p

I would rather say that their grip is not made for larger hands.

@ Gozo, TS writes, "I am the man with the tattoos", as far as I can see he is the man with the green/beige T-shirt on. He plays also with a Cyber.

Nothing wrong with your FH. But I would mainly train on your BH, a lot! Do a lot of exercises, first behind the ball, then with sideways movements. In the first instance, pay particular attention to your elbow. It should be slightly higher and slightly outward. Your wrist should also become more...

Asics shoes are not wide enough for me.

I've been credited with a signed copy (by Gauzy) from Dan for almost three years now, but have never received it or been reimbursed for it. 😠

Andro is not the cheapest brand for good blades, but I have been playing with various Andro blades for 20 years. My last one is/was an Andro TP_Linga CI. Lots of control, fast but certainly not super fast. I'd check out this series. Or else I would certainly also take a look at the Treiber...

Indeed, and that just doesn't happen (anymore) in current table tennis! You can serve almost from wherever you want, as long as the point of contact is not above the table but behind your baseline or its extensions. Simply rule 2.06.04: From the start of service until it is struck, the ball...

I think we saw most of the male and a few female matches last week and the umpires regularly pointed out the ball out but rarely for the over table serve. When Lim JH serves, he does it from the side of the table in 90% of the cases. In this service, his point of contact with the ball is always...

Zhang Jike in Rotterdam (2011)?

Well yes, I have now seen many matches of the gentlemen. Referees have indicated several times that the throwing should not be given backwards. As far as I know I can still see reasonably well, but what I've seen in the last week is unbelievable. Not a single time, but not a single time, was...

I'm not talking about whether or not to hide. Overall find this to be quite good. Little to no reprimands for this by the referee as well.

Lol, I'm just now seeing this thread! Very funny topic. 🤣 Apparently rule 16 is absolutely no longer applicable in today's table tennis. There is also no broad basis for this on the forum because everyone apparently thinks illegal serving is okay.:confused:

And...he touched the corner of the table several times with his right index finger! Why would he do that? 🤔

Why are there rules? I think they make rules to get uniformity about behavior, fair play, services, rubbers, clothing, etc... They then translate these into regulations. If those regulations are no longer to be followed, I think this may be communicated to all their affiliated members worldwide...

I don't understand your question

So it's allowed in the future that everyone can throw? 🤔 And it is allowed that you can serve from above the tabel from now on? Nobody sees that? Then also take away those regulations and referees! Incredible! Okay good to know! 🥴 :D

I already shared the video in the link above, klik on yellow + red...
