Hello and welcome to the forum! It is nice that you practice with your old man! I only saw the first video. My tips: - i do not know so much about anti but i think it is important to take the ball early. I also think you could try to make the ball short sometime(but maybe this depends on...

I thought ZLF is softer and more flexible. I think you want the opposite with your playing style and short pimples. You want the ball to leave the racket fast, with a low arc and get power. With soft and flexible i think the ball will stay longer on the racket and have a higher arc. I do not...

Something on the harder side since you play so close to the table and with more counterattack. Totally agree about the arc. Do not know how hard your current blade is but think you should something fast and hard. Do not need so much arc.

Maynards blade is 9 ply? and i think Gauzys blade have very hard outer layers? So both are really fast blades? I think it is hard to think like this. I think a carbon blade can be slower and have more control compared to an all wood blade and vice versa? I am also a bit lost about: all wood...

If you hit forehand more in front of you, around the same place you hit your backhand your bh-fh change will really improve. Can also try to have elbow at the same place when playing bh and fh. And if you have time you can try to get the racket towards the middle in between strokes. Keep up the...

Hahaha! Nice to see that there are women playing aswell 😀

Interesting to hear! as a physiotherapystudent and 30 year old coach in my free time, i also feel we have big problem that kids move much less in general so their motor control is much worse than generations ago which serious limit their ability to learn hard tabletennis technique. I can imagine...

Maybe the culture is changing? I think it is difficult for Sweden to compete with Asia since not many parents want to sacrifice education due to tabletennis and education is highly valued so not so good careerchoice to choose to almost just play tabletennis. I think some almost do not go to high...

FIrst, always play with your strengths and second, adapt to their weakness/style of play. Edit: Like someone said about hidden strengths. Loops do not matter, serve and return always is the difference between a good player and an even better player.

Alternatives: - No spin short ball you need to slice on the side with the right side of the racket ponting upward to play short - flip - If the ball is longer in game play you can do a step in Serves: - get more underspin in the serve, very difficult for the opponent to push short - Serves...

A friend of mine that have played a really high level tried it(he got it for free). He went back to his Primorac Carbon. As long as the blade is hard enough, as i believe it is it will work fine with short pimples. What do you use now?

As a part time coach for many years i think it could be diffiuclt to think about what muscles to tense when playing. I do think it could be good if you are leaning forward with the upperbody a bit like a monkey. I also think there are many ways to play the backhand and very individual to how...

I have not read the whole thread but from the OP you give us almost nothing about how you practice and how much. Providing that would help you get helpful answers. I would say play a lot of games, notice what you win at and lose at. Then try to practice what you use in a real game, the other...

@loerting Tabletennis is a technical sport, but too much focus on it i believe will hurt your game. As long as you get good ball quality and it is functional for your style of play then it is good. I have also noticed as a part time coach for many years that earlier in my coaching career i was...

Nice to hear that it is going better. I often find that you give a player to much advice and it just becomes to difficult to focus. If you are you working on the change between forehand and backhand i think this exercise is good but i do not think you are practicing footwork. I also think you...

Pretty cool with Banda.

I have a friend that used to use long pimple but are now using a thin sponge spectol. He find it much more difficult so he is not as safe but i feel he get more spin and variation.

Rakza Z went up, up and up again in my opinion.

Much easier to use inverted. A better rubber overall in my opinion, much more forgiving. Short pimple is good if you are really good at flathitting. Good luck with your change.

Hey! i think it is easier if you post a video. Difference from backspin: - close the angle more - go back and forth, so drop the racket less - the ball comes faster to you? so less time, can not do as big of a stroke Other tips: - Move the legs, so you can do the same stroke all the time -...
