  1. How did I get worse with a better table tennis racket?

    I think this is pretty common. Your old racket had little grip in the rubbers so they Did not react much to spin because the ball Do not grip. Your neew racket have more grip. With more grip you can create spin because the rubber surface actually grips they ball. But because of this you also...
  2. How far apart should your legs be?

    I think a little more than shoulders width. So you can steady, and van bend the legs as much as you want. I think how much bending of the legs is equally important or more. I also feel that the you need more than shoulder width apart to be able to generate power from the legs by weigth transfer...

  5. Would max sponge short pimples compensate for the ABS balls?

    If it is backspin you should only try to open up with topspin, keep the ball low and vary the placement. If it is against topspin, you do not really need to hit hard, smash all the time. People with inverted can not loop hard all the time. And in my opinion looping hard all the time is not good...
  6. Off the table exercises

    I think it is not only about footwork. Being strong in the stomach is very important to be able to loop hard. There is also a reason people are getting injuried with the plastic ball. Tabletennis is hard for the body. If you are not strong enough it is more likely that you Will get injuried så i...
  7. Touching upon how to grip bat for different shots

    Are you serious? You are only to old to change because of that limited mindset. In my experience as a coach adults May have a harder time to change But they are more motivated and have lived thru some hard stuff so they know how to figth. Kids Do not have these kind of inner strengths in my...
  8. Would max sponge short pimples compensate for the ABS balls?

    I am of a different opinion than the above. I think you should use Max if you want to play offensive. Thinner sponge just feels fast for you But the ball is not hard and powerful when it have reached the side of the opponent. If you want to have effect and mostly use the pips for control...
  9. Touching upon how to grip bat for different shots

    I do not agee with how they play forehand. I think you should try to relax everything and put pressure with the indexfinger. I think you want pressure in the direction you want the power to go. But maybe it is not so important how you do it, i think that basically all these pressure things i...
  10. Tips for a very keen competitive young player!! My son!

    In my opinion he almost do not need to train with a coach. It would be really good to do and proably the best, but there are so much resources on how to play on internet today. So if you can afford it and have a good coach i think you should hire him. But a really good start would be to...
  11. Backhand service return %

    I really do not know what you are talking about. I am in a bit of hurry so only watched the half of the video. I did not see you miss a single return and i think they were pretty okey. When they serve long to your short pimple and you want to do an opening loop you can not get much better shot...
  12. Backhand service return %

    If they are much better than you it is hard to return well. Even if you put the ball on the table the return might not be good enough so they still win. Do not if this should be considered successfull. If you Do not practice against better players that for the most part also have better serves...
  13. Good rubber for lifting/attacking backspin (BH)

    What was on your premade racket? You will definely have a easier time to lift backspin with softer rubbers. But i think you technique for lifting backspin will in the long run become better with a little harder rubber. In my opinion many players fool themselves a bit that they do a great...
  14. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I would be bored to if i just Did drills and played games. I like technique very much so i focus slot on that. So i am almost always working on making some stroke better. This is proably not always good for my game But it is very stimulating.

    I Do not think that is allowed. But still fun!
  16. Looking for at new rubber to fh for incoming season

    I do not think anyone can answer which thickness is best for you. Proably alot of personal preference. Maybe you can chose the same thickness as you have now? I do think that since you have medium pips on the backhand, that can be pretty slow it is proably good to have as fast as possible on...

    Just bought a Stellan Bengtsson Offensive Wood for fun. Got it for 50 kronor which is around 5 USD. I am a little interested in how it plays and what it is worth. To bad it is pretty worn, but still fun. Can post a picture later!
  19. DIGNICS 05 which booster to use ?

    I think you should boost if you want to. But i think you should be careful that the rubber Do not become to soft. I also think you should try them first, Maybe they are fast enough already. It is fun to play with boosted stuff But i think it Will limit your developement if you train not only for...
  20. problems with technique (or new rubbers??)

    Did not read so well. Never played with 1,5. You proably Do not get so much help from the rubber. But i still say the same. Your techniques and tactics can benefit from this. I used a 1,8 unboosted 802 40 which is without inbuilt glue effect. I kept it pretty long before because my technique...
