Yeap the first bold is really good advice especially when you find it difficult to identify the spin/trajectory during the moment of contact and let the ball come to you instead of taking it very early. Id you are lucky enough you can maybe see the stamp and adjust the paddle angle Now for the...

Please define watching the ball vs watching the racket :D. Focus is much easier when your eyes are on the ball, then at moment of contact you combine where the ball is hitted with the sound, like taking a picture/snapshot at moment of contact. Peripheral vision does the rest, focusing primarily...

Personally I play with tenergy mostly because of its durability. Yasaka rakza, donic acuda & barracuda are all great rubbers very close to tenergy but cheaper. If you play regularly (3 times a week and more) and your game is focused on spin then I believe tenergy is the best choice because it...

That is correct :) On high toss serves, you look at the ball on its highest point and then focus on the dropping point. If you follow the path of the ball on a high toss serve you may get out of rhythm or get confused. Its difficult on the beginning but once you manage it, you will be able to...

Do not look at the bat. look always at the ball and focus on the contact point AT THE BALL during the moment of contact. Everything else is done by peripheral vision Most players get confused because theyu look at the bat and they make mistakes. This is common when a server uses very deceptive...

Well f*** me Hose. This is pure bragging not a fact. Its not even a proven scientific phenomenon to prove you are "right" and we are "Wrong". The metal conference is irrelevant with table tennis, stop acting like a kiddo you're 40 + for gods sake. You have your facts twisted in many aspects of...

A few post back I mention that I was in China and the center of attention at a conference for metal industry engineers in Wuxi close to Shanghai. "No brag, just fact" Look that phrase up on the internet. It is almost as old as I am.

Great camera angles! Thanks for the beautiful videos :) Please Keep posting

One of the reasons I admire ZJK so much is that, he makes better adjustments (which are very small but necessary) in his footwork than anyone in his rallies. He can apply his footwork to his tactic/strategy very well. I also believe that "the less you move the better you play" but not...

Thats so true, in fact many players strugggle to develop when it comes to "correcting" their natural tendencies which are either a gift or a "curse". Waldner and guoliang are naturally "creative" from day 1 and I believe this is something you are born with. Of course training is important, you...

A typical example of Europe mentality is Kreanga, after 2004 he didnt train/play as hard as before and he focused on his family more he plays TT for fun and off course the money to make a living. I mean if I was kreanga I would have done the same thing, why train so hard when you actually know...

Timo boll was/is the only european that has proper footwork in order to link it with the next stroke and of course apply pressure on his topspin. Ovtcharov was a serve oriented player, he used to get easy points from his serves, but it wasnt enough so in the past 3-4 years Dima has...

You try too much. relax

Its too difficult to say, but I dont think he can do some damage in tournaments that matter. For 1 yuya oshima, china has already 4-5 young players like fzd fang bo liang jingkun yan an zhou yu that are ready to go. China has already produced the next generation of players that will follow the...

5 out of 5 rating for Virtuoso Best blade in the world when it comes to feeling/feedback. I have played with over a hundred and more wooden blades, but this particular blade has a unique/unmatched feeling when you play with it You can literally feel the ball sinking into the blade producing...

I'm the best member for people who want to share/learn exchange knowledge and experiences around TT. I'm the worst member for those who read/post in a forum just to feed their ego :P Thank god TTD threads are 95 % of the time around a TT related topic and not flames/egos between users

one leg squats are great also, especially for your "weak" leg. The nerve system "learns" how to balance in extreme situations. If you have the time to do strength exercise on a regular basis, I would suggest mixing it up all the time. Squats are great yes but you need the horizontal ladder...

hilarious post, the bold phrase is one of the main reasons I "somehow stopped" reading/posting in the popular forums about TT. A nickname gives you the illusion that your opinion is valid and worthy which is kinda pointless, whereas in fact we should all ask ourselves what is the true reason...

Great idea, as soon as I watch it I will let you know. Progress after a certain level peak is a headache even for the top pros
