thanks we are a bit in the same boat. I've been taking hundreds of hours with coaches, since 2012, almost every week if I could, sometimes twice a week. usually 2 hours to make it more effective. i didn't take records but probably approaching 1000 hours ??? yes its ridiculous given the (lack...

Sorry for your losses but never give up !! I’ve been playing unofficial rated round robin tournaments more often since the end of last year and despite more training and participation my rating couldn’t go up and came back to the bottom of the range. I wasn’t totally demoralized as there were a...

If you don’t like repetition you don’t like any kind of serious training at all in any discipline

Theserviceguy is gonna raise his rate

YJN !!! bravo !!!

Following the example of a teammate who improved a lot and faster than me (I used to beat him when we first played together but now i have very little chance...), I've started taking notes of each opponent after each match. So that when there is a rematch, i will know what worked and not last...

There is always a first time

i used to be very bad at blocking those balls, and be afraid everytime it came at me. As someone mentioned above, i think the key point is to have a downward movement with the racket, and thats actually true not just with loops but also on a drive. so you should start with the racket high...

This is my biggest weakness as well and unfortunately I don’t think there is any easy fix. But over the last month thinking hard about some solutions and how to do better: - we need to wait more to see the ball. Don’t anticipate. I realize that sometimes I started moving even slightly BEFORE...

Chen Meng will play again Olympics but for Qatar

ok I think I I think I start to understand. I serve reverse side spin to short FH (assume we are both RH handed players) If they went with the spin, it means for example they contact the ball on the RIGHT side with the racket going from left TO RIGHT ) ? That’s what you call the tomahawk chop...

Kenta and Kenji Matsudaira’s sister Shiho is now giving lessons at Room MK at a rate of 8000 yens per hour . She was a former national team member and a quite strong player . You can see her in a few YT videos. She has started coaching rather recently so she has a lot of availability

To be more precise, usually i serve from middle FH side, facing the table. My goal is to have a reverse sidespin serve to the opponents FH because a lot of players don't like it, especially in Japan where there is a lot of penholders very strong at waiting for serves to their BH and pivoting...

What if I serve to FH (short)

after years of trying unsuccessfully, im managing to do (my own version of) the YG serve. not mastering it yet, but enough to try it in training and competitive matches. it is quite spinny, i find it easy to put sidespin, while on hook serve i don't know how to put sidespin. the problem now is...

What time ? Saturdays are crowded with kids . It’s a one hour slot system and if there are too many people there is a priority and lottery system to ensure everyone can play. It may mean that you need to wait one hour between available slots. Usually 9-10 12-13 and 20–22 is less crowded
