  3. Help! How to coach a complete newbie?

    However you want. With other balls than tt balls i suggest you do it barehanded. You can move on to hitting balls with the paddle after or combine it! Whatever seems fit :)

  6. Help! How to coach a complete newbie?

    As a table tennis coach you need to school the children not only in playing tt but even more in training their coordination which contains: -Balance -The skill to differentiate. An example for an exercise would be to throw balls of different sizes and weights on to different targets. So they...
  7. Unique TT design T-shirts pre-selling on Kickstarter until Oct 9

    Nice project Steve! I would very much like to buy some of those. Are you going to print them in black only? So if I want one polyester and one cotton. Should I just use the option for 43$? It says 28$ shipping fees... that's a lot :-/

    Jea you are right. I should rephrase my question then: How to stay down while being on your toes. At the trainer seminar they told they once had a player put little stones under his heels. Ofc they meant it as a joke, but he continued to do so and it worked for him! And that player was already...

    So today i was playing outdoors. I feel like i am finally starting to understand how counter loops work. One little dilemma I have is that while trying to get a more horizontal stroke, which needs a more closed racket angle and a higher starting position of the bat, my ending position gets...
  10. TTDaily Members Show Their True Essence

    Okay i will join this thread now :) First here is a picture that pretty much sums up my TT history. My name is Noel and I was born in 1994. I live in the beautiful city of Bern. The picture shows me standing on the Münsterplattform a park in front of the 100 meter high cathedral of Bern. I...

  13. Match video: Feedback welcome

    Yay! A video to watch :) But why in gods name did you slow it down so much? There is already a speed regulator contained in the youtube player.
  14. TT pet peeves?

    Oh i sometimes also say thank you :-P but not with bad intent... but i get how it can be rude. Will stop doing that then.
  15. TT pet peeves?

    What the hell is a pet peeve? :D Well i have some of those anyways. -I don't like when people try to finish the point while warming up... when they blast the ball past me i just give em the "are you for real look". -If you are playing a drill and the partner suddenly goes for a winner that...

    You said in your post above that if you can't return a serve of a player he is a higher lvl player. Now how do you define a higher lvl player, because that's a very hard thing to do. TT is a game of strengths and weaknesses and how to exploit them. For me a higher lvl player is better in most...

    So you lose to every higher rated player? And win against every lower rated? If it wasnt for his deceptive serve im sure thatd id won pretty convincingly.
  18. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Concerning that people with serves that you can not return are much higher lvl. I don think so. Firstly they might just have a very good serve and not so good rally skills. Just like an opponent i lost to in the fifth game. His serve wasnt very spinny but deceptive as hell! For the love of god i...

    I know a lot of good players who serve long. But with tons of spin and very good placement those are very hard to attack and if you just push them back you will get destroyed. I am just now starting to grasp how to attack long serves, but its so hard and I miss more than i win with it.
  20. Professional table tennis siblings

    Id argue that the little brother always competes with the older one and therefore is a lot better for his age group. Also the little brother absorbs all the knowledge and experience of the older brother. I think its a common sight in sports to see the younger one prevail over time.
