  1. I want opinions on my chances of pro

    I still think the OP can develop and become a good player. The conditions matter though. I coached Truls in his first club. Have basically always played with better players his whole career, a lot of multiball with good coaches and a lot of help. Even if players work really hard but not have the...
  2. I want opinions on my chances of pro

    I think it it’s important to remember to do some strength training with body and increase tabletennis training more and more. Pretty common with injuries, at least shoulder injuries when we start to train more. If you want to go to Sweden I think Eslöv, Halmstad or Söderhamn would be good...
  3. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    This is good for the sport tabletennis. Probably also good for the sport in China. Need to be some diversity and excitement. I also believe going away from penhold short pimle and also RPB is somwhat a results of losing. Would be interesting to see how the sport develops if China keep on losing.
  4. I want opinions on my chances of pro

    I think the tradition of tabletennis is pretty bad in the US compared to Sweden, Germany, France and asian countries. I do think the level of knowledge is much higher today since it seems like there is a lot of asian coaches living in the US. The easiest and probably first step would be to get...
  5. Looping - counter looping and underspin looping for beginners

    Really as long as the grip is good then it will work. Now with little grip you can not create correct motion, so correct thinking to change. Do you know what kind of racket you are using now?
  6. I have Stiga Clipper Wood dornenglanz ox. I need advice on good inverted rubber so i can throw down monster forehands

    A harder DNA that is not a hybrid rubber would be faster. Maybe harder against backspin without the tacky surface.
  7. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    I think you could rotate the body more for the arm to get body out to the side more. Now i think you are more lowering the body and go back with the arm itself. Coult at least stop more with body if you turned it up a bit more, now no time to stop the body. Then relax the arm and have racket...
  8. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    I am not the correct person to say this but really it do not need to be perfect. As long as you get spin and power and it works in game play. This video was much better than the first one because you move your feet well. Also seems like you get spin and power. The game is so fast nowadays so...
  9. Feedback on backhand topspin

    I think i know well enought myself to teach the basics good to others, but i think it is easy to get a bit blind so good to hear what others say. I also think Also think technique is kind of relative, can do different ways as long as the quality is good. Probably good to do robot and multiball...
  10. Feedback on backhand topspin

    UPDATE: have been having a massive mancold so have not trained anything. Feel like i only have moved my arm so i am trying to play more with body and purposely try not to move the arm. https://photos.app.goo.gl/m5ZF9sj1vUEspmGc9 Here i try to move belly in and out...
  11. Where to buy better Friendship 802-40 short pimple rubber?

    I had a chinese coach before. He gave me 802-40 rubbers that he said was better, they was atleast much softer. I understand that there is a mystery version that is softer. I also know that Friendship have a provincial version but can not find it anywhere. Only find it here but do not know if...
  12. How do you pick up (collect) balls from the floor?

    In one club i was in they had made a bucket with net and if you pushed down the ball went in. Then a handle on it.
  13. Different set up for different types of venue?

    I think pro players sometimes do it. I think it harder for us hobbyplayers. Believe more in using the same and learn to control it well.
  14. Why do pros risk tossing the ball outside the 30 degree window?

    I am very certain that they do this active and intentional . If they are not called out they do it more and they especially do it more when the game is closer cause then it is much more pressure on umpire if they take the serve. They do it because they want to win.
  15. Finally tested Spinsight - What helped you to increase spin in your game?

    Interesting to reverse engineer. Do multiball or Spinsight and adjust technique according to results and not the opposite.
  16. Finally tested Spinsight - What helped you to increase spin in your game?

    It must depends on the ball? Easier against low ball and backspin ball? Also need good equipment. Technically I think: - use forearm and get some wrist at the end - relax and tense - go from 0-100. Need to happen a lot at ballcontact - close racket angle and brush Also try a lot with the...
  17. Lighter BH rubber for CPEN setup

    How much wrist are you actively using? I think power should come more from elbow. Too much wrist will make it inconsistent. Good luck
  18. Why so much hate against boosters?

    But is it not different in a sport where you have an opponent and compete with others?
  19. Why so much hate against boosters?

    I thought it was illegal? do not know if it makes it better if everyone does it? Hiding the serve is illegal aswell. Is it then a difference between booster and hiding serve? who decides what is okey and what is not?
  20. Feedback on backhand topspin

    Yeah it seems like he uses body more also moves the left arm. Can imagine that if my left arm never moves i probably do not move the body? I also feel like he is able to create space between himself and the ball. I have been trying to do this by thiniking im trying to hug a pilatesball haha. I...
