  1. Regarding top layer of the blade suited for SP (multiple questions)

    As long as it is hard and fast it will work well. I believe Koki Niwa wood is pretty fast already.

    I think it would be good to use the body more and not only the arm. Will be difficult to learn to loop with the body if he counter without it.
  3. Backhand pips for chopping

    Spectol
  4. Video Footage Safe Thread

    We have a chinese coached that used short pimples so maybe he is biased but he thinks as long as you get spin in the forehand the technique is pretty good. He have an extreme focus on feet and legs first hand. Almost culture chock when i met him, we europeans focus on the arm. I tend to agreee...
  5. Why is Stratus Powerwood wider at the bottom?

    Maybe also to get it more head heavy?

    My opinion is that when you starting out as a player or coach you think there are one way to play tabletennis. Then when you have been at it a somewhat long time you notice that good players do not have so similar techniques. Of course there are some basic things like move the feet, hit in front...

    Playing with a ball is too difficult. Better to just play in the air first. It seems like you are holding hard in the racket, so the forearm is tense. Need to relax to get movement in the elbowjoint. Try to think that the elbow do not need to go much further than your body so try to stop the...
  8. My setup feels like a literal ROCK after trying this one

    Maybe carbon VS all wood blades makes a different in arc aswell?
  9. Next area to focus on improvement

    I think it is important to play against a lot of different opponents so playing a league and tournaments would be great to learn to return well. But again, what do you want for a ball? a "good return" for me do not have to be a "good return" for you. I also believe it is good to try to never do...

  11. Next area to focus on improvement

    I think you will develop more if you try to find you style of play, know your strenghts and practice those and ways to get them in a match. I think it is easy to become somewhat good at everyhting with your mentality and not so great at anything. I like to tell my players that it is like to...
  12. Next area to focus on improvement

    WRONG FOCUS! What are you good at? work more on those. Then find ways how to serve,return and play to get to your strenghts and practise on those. Good luck.
  13. I want to try short pips, what racket should I build for this?

    I think it is very individual when people change to pips. I think in general inverted rubber is a better rubber because you can create spin and arc which give you safety. Therefore, it is better to change if you are really good at smashing and not bad at looping. I also believe it is wise to try...
  14. I want to try short pips, what racket should I build for this?

    Personally i think it is better if you are really good at punching and smashing with backhand and change to short pips for that reason, not that you are bad at looping. There are better blades than Acoustic and Sweden extra. Try a 7 ply all wood or carbon blade. Consider how you want to play...

    It goes better and worse for everyone 😀 I also think that the better you become, the harder it will be to feel that you are developing. I would think about: - playing style and idea. Need to know what you are good at, then serve and return so you get that play. Without this it more luck if...
  16. Changing long pimples

    Try a thin Victas Spectol. Probably more inconsistent with short pimples but easier to create your own spin. Hou Yingchao can become your new idol! :)
  17. Tactics Against Player with Long Arms

    Still think pocket is probably the best placement since the player is a "blocker" so i assume he is not running forehand and instead stay and play backhand. Towards the corner and he do not need so much. If he played forehand all over the table more i think the corners would be a better...

    Pocket, pocket, pocket!
  19. Do you use overgrip on your blade handle?

    I change a bit. Feel like it is easier to hold loose but agree that it feels a bit dampened. Maybe it depends on the grip and how it is made? i try to have a thin layer.
  20. Liang Jingkun suspended

    I think factors like: - other sports have become more popular. Before everone played tabletennis but people are playing more other sports today. - Better economy and standard of living. If they still can get a proper life standard today without becoming a tabletennis pro i think the motivation...
