  1. Advice please: 7-ply all-wood blade for my son

    Look for thickness. Too thick and it will be harder to loop.
  2. Advice for returning awkward serves

    If you want to play short on short nospinballs you need to brush on the side of the ball. You can go under backspin balls and play short but if it is nospinball it will go high. I think it probably is easier to push wth open racket angle/gentle flip. Good luck.
  3. I’m horrible, help

    Is it possible to move the bench behind the table too somwhere else? you guys should try to brush more, especially against backspin. No problem is if the opening loop is high, as long it goes on too the table. Edit: forgot too say that everyone feel that the level of play go up and down. Need...
  4. Playing a tournament match against a Defensive Player

    Playing choppers is a good workout. Did not watch the whole match, but very good that you started to vary the tempo more in the fourth set. Just playing hard is awesome for choppers, then they do not need to move. I also find it very fun and interesting that you use penhold. Not common for an...
  5. Questions about equipment for disabled people

    I can imagine it is almost easier to play attacking game with long or medium pimples on forehand. I think the angle can be diffiult if you want to pushblock. There is one para player in Sweden that attack with Keiler i think. Keiler is very popular in para national team in Sweden. Try the...

    I think you can try to get up on the toes a bit while you are doing the stroke, so you use the legs a bit without standing up. I think Harimoto and Jorgic do this well. Keep up the hard work Richie.

    I think you should try some easy exercises like 1 bh and 1 fh or maybe two point forehand from forehand and the middle. If you get a feeling of when you stand correct and can do the stroke well i believe you will become much more consistent since you know how to move the feet, when you can do...

    I have tried boucing the ball against the edge. So difficult! Have anyone mastered it? Earlier in my coaching career i thought "having fun" were a waste of time. Nowadays i think loop loop, chopblock, smash against fishing and things like that could really help with the feeling of spin and...

    Hello! I like your training hall. Looks very therapeutic and nice. BH flick: I think it looks like the ball will be long so you can loop it if you wait? Better to wait and loop if possible, hard to get power in the flip if the ball is too long. If you want to use the flip in game play i think...

    Sometime you the forearm very nice. Need to move forearn. Since you have very open angle you do not need to accelerate so much and if you do you probably will miss the table. Easier to open against backspin with an open angle, but using a bit more closed angle force you to practice using the...

    Your friend has such a fun way of playing! He plays like he is good at other racket sports? is he a tennis player aswell? I think you can win the ball easier if you change the tempo more. I think many players think it is good to play "hard" so you play hard all the time. After the hard stroke...
  13. Performing the Falkenberg Drill

    I really like that you do Falkenbergaren with Stellan. At my first camp in Falkenberg i remember him using a scissor and cut a players shoe where the big toe is so the players could practice despite his hurting toe. I do not believe the cross step is used much anymore since everyone is so...
  14. Forehand Sp blades

    If you want to attack i think all of them would work fine. For attack i would say it is easier to get a good "short pimple hit" with harder faster blades, but if you are going to play with inverted on backhand you need to consider that aswell. Harder to loop if to hard and fast. I think all of...

    I can imagine the chopper want to chop the next ball. Feel like many choppers serve bachand to get ready to chop the next ball faster. This would also make sense if you are very backhandoriented.
  16. How do you get the courage to loop a serve?

    Need to decide if you want to win now or develop. Can push back safe(and not miss) like forever, but you will never learn to loop.

    Fun to watch but ugly pants! Der Echte, could you translate some of the pointers/suggestions he is giving her?
