China vs Korea in the quarters is ROUGH

The issue I've been having while recovering is seeing the ball better from a bent position vs upright. I'm doing better at reading the contact on hit and anticipating the movement, but I do feel sluggish when I'm positioned more upwards.

My knees paid the price on lifting heavy and training intensely in May/June, but I'm coming out of it with a bit of rest. Definitely a lot slower in terms of footwork and power on my shots, but I probably need like 3-4 drill sessions with staying low and getting my spacing on the ball to get...

Definitely economical in terms of movement. I aspire to be like this one day haha. I can see the point about backspin, but I'd be interested in seeing how he plays vs a defender.

Jinxin Wang has been a treat to watch today. Love his playstyle

Not sure on the rubber end. I bought shirts there and had no issues with them. Arrived in 1.5-2 weeks from ordering.

Would prott have the blue sponge?

Jinbao won! What a performance. I saw him do a regular pendulum serve on the very first point and started to question reality.

Insane rallies between Kirill and Darko. Definitely a match to rewatch

My practice partner uses unboosted H3N on both sides and blocks/chops/pushes a good majority of balls low and half-long and it's very difficult to figure out how to counter it cause I try to play mid-range vs him and it constantly puts me out of position to loop. Going to try to put more...

Near the 6 and 4 month marks on the C1 and Z, respectively. The C1 has started to feel less lively and the Z kinda feels bouncy with less grip due to the tackiness wearing off, so I've been twiddling the two sides to some success. Working a lot on counterloops the past few weeks. I can handle...

Watching Timo and Ma Long play got me into table tennis. The very first serve I tried to learn was the reverse pendulum. I rushed to get to the World Championships in 2021 so I can watch Timo play in person for the first time ever and his opponent couldn't play! Thankfully, I got to see him vs...

A big thing that I've focused on the past few weeks is the contact point on my paddle and my opponent's for literally everything. This sort of nuance is helping me understand spin a lot more. I've been focused on doing about 4-5 hours of drills a week, then the rest about 5-6 hours for practice...

I had a hard time feeling the ball, but I attributed that to adrenaline and nerves, as well as playing on rubber surfaces. Never realized how light the ball was until you mentioned it. I had a set of training balls from Joola, but I gave them away. Not a bad value for ~$25ish. Might try and...

I'm glad you mentioned the balls cause Austin and Houston both use those and I was definitely not prepared.

I got to play with a boosted National Hurricane recently and I'm doing my best to stay away from temptation. Everything except for flat hitting felt so good.

They both deserved a more packed audience. Great game

It definitely is frustrating. That's why I want to change it up a bit. One the days that I don't get coached, my sessions have been doing a warm up, one or two drills, then practice matches. One of the guys helping me said that I should be focused on doing one serve to one spot and drill my...

My C-1 is starting to show signs of wear, so I'm experimenting with my Rakza Z on my BH. I never realized how much of a difference in arc there is between the two. Maybe the EJ bug is hitting me. Thinking about proposing doing some group training for a few of my practice partners for...

Based on his jacket, he needs to catch a flight soon for the Bayern match. I tried finding him online, but it just shows a German coach as Batra's main coach.
