  1. the best long pimple to play close the table

    This Playingstyle is more difficult todayl because of the new long pimples ans balls. Not so much spin.

    No returns are good if you can not read the spin haha. Proably easier to push long than play short if you have trouble Reading the spin i think.

    I think it can be good to train pushes, as long as you train and try to push aggressive. If you have a good counterloop an aggressive push May be a better option than playing short.
  4. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    I do not know how i ended up here. Do not know much about penhold. I am somewhat interested how come so many chose to play with penhold? what is the reason for it? Feel that penhold seems to be less popular, and i do not know why. With the modern BH i feel the liability of the traditional BH...

    I have also trying to implement touch or "feeling" in my trainings. Do not know how much it give them, maybe a little and maybe fun sometimes. The kids i coach do not train so much and do not play as much as i do. I have played alot of lefthanded matches and penhold for fun after my training...

    The latest years i have strongly believed in shadow training. No reason to practice and do the motion wrong. The last weeks i have also noticed to do the strokes slowly so we are able to do them correct. By doing so we will learn the motion faster i think. I have more thought that we should...
  8. The Weakest Style

    I think you are correct, But i also think this also a problem for inverted loopers. If they take the ball lower than the highest point they can not either play very hard because they need a arc to get the ball over the net. But they proably can make a better ball than the short pimple player if...
  9. The Weakest Style

    I think everyone needs to work with other techniques to get a good ball to be able to kill it. But i agree that it is much easier to kill the ball if you have done something good before. But that is the same for everyone. I think you can smash alot of balls, as long as you have great footwork...
  10. Zhang Jike Super ZLC Handle

    I have used both blades. Good handles, feel the same. Good blades. If you want to play a little bit further away from the table and mostly loop. Go for the ALC. If you want to play closer to the table and play more counter, smash and counterloop. Go fort the ZLC. Of couse it is possible to...
  11. The Weakest Style

    Did you win? Try serving long and pushing long and he can only do a pretty bad opening loop compared to inverted and you can counterloop it. Also try to vary the placement and tempo alot. Alot of timing in short pimple play. with variation in tempo and placement it will be harder for him to...
  12. The Weakest Style

    Yes. I think short pimple as a rubber and flat hitting as a playing style is inferior to inverted and looping. I do think that for some it can be much harder to learn short pimple and flathit. What many people do not understand is that you can only hit the ball at the highest point with a...

    What do we mean with verified coach? if you have it as a fulltime job? Or that people know that you are a coach? I think it can be some coaches here that have been coaching part time and been doing so for several years so they proably know somewhat much. Very difficult to get it as your...

    I kinda agree with this. It is more likely that a somewhat good player knows alot more about tabletennis and how to play compared to a not so good player. But being a good player and a good coach, or being a person that knows much about technique and tabletennis is not the same thing. I can be...
  15. I’m in wrong path.. need Allround blade / Control blade & rubber

    yes maybe i highjacked the thread a bit. But felt like it could have become some nasty discussions, but maybe i read it wrong.
  16. I’m in wrong path.. need Allround blade / Control blade & rubber

    I do not want to and have no really rights to tell anyone else how to behave. But everyone is entitled to an opinion, and this is mine. I think it is great that we try to help the guy, but we maybe can drop the attitude. Do not need to agree with anyone and can discuss stuff but it is always...
  17. I’m in wrong path.. need Allround blade / Control blade & rubber

    What you should use depends very much on your level and how good your technique are and what your goals are. If you are a beginner, or need to develop the strokes more it is better with slower stuff. If your goals are to become really good in the long run i think it is better with slower stuff...
  18. I’m in wrong path.. need Allround blade / Control blade & rubber

    Adni! I would say that almost everyone that have played for over ten years have Tried mark v. Proably one of the most popular rubbers ever. The most popular in the speedglue era? Everyone used it in my club since We are a yasaka club. All the beginners that want to develop their strokes get...

    I have TB zlc. Nice blade. ST feels good in the hand.
  20. Chinese rubbers in the modern TT era

    What i understand they are more injuried to the slower ball. With the new ball i have changed to faster equipment to try to counter that. Can not the pros Do the same? So they get more help But Maybe then they lose to much in serve and return. Or Maybe they have sligthly faster things now...
