FL. I've tried square ST and anatomic: didn't like them.

That looks beautiful compared to my current, old sheet. If it still spins, it's good, isn't it?

I do somehow doubt that he has access to every single piece of video that he uses to gain revenue. Well, I guess with Chinese secrets, comes also Chinese connections.

I will bring up that there's a lot of copyright-free music that YouTubers use. Often the same stuff. I don't know if the music EmRat uses is copyright free. However a lot of channels that generate revenue use music that's not theirs but is copyright free. Many legitimate channels use...

NL's style isn't about creating spin? What else have I missed?

Spin = good. More spin = better.

I'm really not high level enough to even benefit from most if not any of this grip changing stuff, but I've found that I pick up a pretty good grip for different shots if I just focus on the quality. I find it hard if not impossible to properly play with just one exact same grip without small...

Could you now translate this into English?

@NextLevel I'd also like to add that a solid block will invite all kinds of people to play/train with you, because lower level players might be used to inconsistent blocks and frustrated that their balls don't come back like they'd want. Having the chance to play with someone who pushes them a...

@Boogar I have a friend who likes the game enough to seriously train with me. He started recently. I think he will become a TTnut like the crazy people here. ;) Honestly, for my circumstances, I think I am doing pretty ok. Especially lately, when I have taken a more honest look at my game.

Shuki, Yecats, you may be right, but you guys are properly coached people. It's easy for you to say "Just do whatever keeps the ball on the table". For someone with 2 years of experience or less, that doesn't cut it when they play someone who learned to play "properly". The only "self learned"...

Yeah, but I'm more-so saying that a beginner of 2-some years playing a clean, orthodox style is gonna have better, more deceptive and consistent shots than a similar beginner just winging it for 2-some years. With unorthodox, I guess in my context I more so mean "not based on solid theory"...

You still need to be able to read the deceptive strokes of well-trained orthodox players. Unorthodox strokes are a bit different, and the quality is different.

Nearing 19. I guess it's a bit of a shame, but I've played my fair share of people better than me. Just not often enough. If I had proper competition every day, playing against orthodox players, who knows where I'd be now. Maybe I'd look a bit like Boogar!

He plays the kind of low-level short game with pushes and blocks. Not a proper soft game that's a bitch to deal with. Any topspin will send the ball long enough to easily loop close to the table. Before I could topspin at all, I had some problems against him. Now it's a breeze because he is...

Today I played a whole 5 minutes or so. However my topspins were better than ever, immediately from the start. Doing shadows in the mirror, I have noticed that my arm doesn't look and feel so disconnected from my hip turn. It's like instead of just hitting into the ball more if I turn my...

@UpSideDownCarl It's not anything compared to what you described, but sometimes during a forehand hit drill with my friend that I am teaching, where we are doing slow counterhits/drives, I will throw in more topspin at the same pace and to the same placement. At first it went completely...

I don't have time to watch the whole thing now, so I skipped. I will take a look later. I just want to tell you: don't get discouraged from going for shots like the one at 14:20. The counterloop. You read the ball and you got the bat on it and took a swing: I believe soon with enough training...

11:13 onward: That's it! Yesss! I haven't been this excited about someone else's game in some time. Really nice progress.

Boogar, first thing I noticed is that your forehand counterhit form looks better. I'm not sure if it's placebo or what, but I think it has improved. I will see the rest now.
