  2. where to train in Japan (Tokyo)

    Yes it’s only on Fridays from 6pm to 9:30pm there That’s why I recommend people to go to Minato Sports Center instead . It’s open almost every day . For both venues you can double check the schedule a few days in advance (use your favorite google translate app)
  3. 2026 Emperor's/Empress's Cup (aka All Japan) Jan 20-25, Doubles Jan 29-Feb 1

    Oya won in R1 match but lost in R2 0-3 . Yuji the YouTuber lost 0-3 in R1. His doubles partner Ozawa lost 2-3 to Kizukuri in R2 The most surprising result I’ve seen is Kenta Matsudaira losing 0-3 (-5 -6 -7) to an unknown guy called Hori playing for a Gifu local bank team.

    it can't be one and the other. either you get 20 in a row or you miss with edges before that. [ps I think you hit many edges because your grip is too closed you should open your wrist ] If you can reduce power to 60-70% and play 20 in a row then thats exactly the speed you should play in...

    You still don’t get it That’s why I’m repeating the simple message again Just put the fucking ball on the table. You currently can’t put 10 in a row even 5 is a struggle. Slow down until you do 10. If you need to think about your elbow to do 10 then think about your elbow if it’s about your...

    sorry buddy, i believe in capitalism. if something is free, you can't expect expert quality service. If you want real and actionable advice, you'd better spend your time with a paid coach than an online forum Otherwise, sorry i've spent enough of my time looking at some of your footage to have...

    Worse than that. as you implement changes, you often get confused between your new style and old habits, thus temporarily results can get worse.
  8. Tips for Recovering a fast loop down the line?

    exactly. If you make a good quality shot, the opponent is taking a risk to make this down-the-line shot. If he still does make it with a high % then it means he is a good player and you can only applaud and try to be aware to cover this side more than usual. if you must block this shot, always...

    As a fellow learner, i can relate to my own experience. I changed coach just before Covid. a few months couldn't practice. When we resumed practice, instead of going to the hall next to where i live, we went to practice at a TT school ; with plenty of balls instead of playing with 3 balls. With...

    If your weaker partners can’t block well not gonna lie it will be difficult to make a 5 point drill rally… best thing is to help them get better at blocking so they can become your blocking partner in 2-3 months And then you practice something else . Like you serve they push and you try to...
  14. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    i've seen your training and your consistency in training is not 90%. whatever your consistency in practice is, it will be lower in tournament because of pressure, because you don't know the opponent, because its a different table or hall etc...and because of serve receive ! in practice / drills...

    @Zezima Don’t worry too much about the result of the tournament. You’re young and working for the long term. Just play point by point. Tbh I think you still lack experience and gameplay to win those high ranked players even if it seems you have « better quality attacking shots » it doesn’t...
