Hyper sensitive kids are equally as bad too...some will sulk, and worse even, some will even break down and cry. I think there is no clear cut formula to know whether a kid has the potential to be groomed to be an offensive TT player, or even a plain TT player for that matter. It's just talent...

Exactly mate...:) I'm definitely up for it. Btw Dan, I was in London the entire of last week, though I brought my gears along, I didn't managed to contact anyone because of my tight schedule. Sorry. But I'll be coming back again for the winter sale, and I will definitely make point to meet up...

Good idea Shree, but from my experience, hyper active kids can be difficult to coach, and a little handful.

Hi Tommy, glad you could join us. Pleased to have you on board. Actually, the same idea have playing on my mind for quite some time now. At first I thought it was a bonkers idea. Everybody is scattered all over the world. But come to think of it, we can do a regional get together, and post it on...

Ok buddy, here it is. A push is basically just a push. You do it normally when the ball doesn't have a lot of backspin, usually when you want to do a short return to your opponent. You are using a bit of the backspin from your opponent, and just guiding the ball over the net...giving you more...

It's good to see the old timers getting back into the game..wish more will start again as it is one of the best way to keep fit.

How true. I find that the lower ranking players who use these long pips rubbers have a problem whenever they proceed further in tournaments, coz they will be facing technically better players. These better players don't make silly mistakes, and since long pips players have restricted offensive...

Hahahaha sorry Renz, I was still in the festive mood when I wrote that. If you're the other fella, well what can I say...you were really good. Good basic fundamentals. A lot of variations on the serve and angle of attack. Offensive wise, I don't really have much to comment since you are on the...

Well, I change my grip slightly for FH from BH. Even my FH, I have 2 variations, 1 is normal grip that most TT players use(close to the table), and the other is the eastern grip for far from the table shots. However, I don't think there is a right and wrong way to grip your bat, as long as it...

Hi Rahul, Carl was right when he mentioned about twiddling.. Experience players do a lot of twiddling, so be on your toes all the time. And since I used anti when I started playing in the 80's, I would also like to highlight that they also love to flick the short balls, especially the ones about...

Hi Buddy, I can see your improvements. Nice job. Pretty good BH flick you got there. Work at it, I think you've got something there. I think you were just fooling around in that video. Your FH 3rd ball attack was a bit predictable. If you can just make the ball move away from your mate's BH with...

Yup, it was indeed a nice gift for me...and to everyone, Happy Eid Mubarak...and to all M'sians & Indonesians out there, Happy Holidays! :)

Thanx fellas. just got back from my holidays. It's certainly a pleasant surprise. Didn't expect it at all, since they're all excellent posts. At the end of the day, it's just luck. Look forward to it, but I don't think my body would be able to do more than half of the training recommended. I'll...

Hi buddy, honestly, I think your set up is fine. You just have to work more on your consistency, that's all. Since you hit the ball with so much pace, the ball will inevitably comes back at speed. Work on your footwork and timing more. There are so many players out there who wish that they have...

Because of Eid, I'm taking a week break. It started last Friday, and I feel terrible. It's cold turkey...I'm starting to get withdrawal symptoms. Just watch this video, and I wonder if Christopher Walken managed to raise TT interest in the US with this movie. And as for Yosua, you should...

I was really gutted when I heard that Timo won't be playing. Currently, he is the only player outside China that can stand toe to toe with the chinese. On a good day, I definitely think that he is as good as the chinese..and if he is chinese, Liu Guoliang will have his name 1st on the list of...

I definitely think that this deserve a thread by itself. Ma Lin was a little out of sort, but all credit to Alexey. Didn't he play well? Ma Lin just couldn't read his BH..too many variations. As your question buddy, I don't think so. Every dog has it's day. Alexey played well enough to win...

Doesn't work that way mate..for tennis, yes. but not TT. It's quite similar to your FH topspin but using a lot more wrist action. There are loads of BH topspin technique on youtube. Have a look. I always believe that BH is easier to master than FH.

Really??? I didn't hear that. Well, this is the 1st time I heard covering the ball with a face. There you go kids, don't cover the ball with your face. hahahaha can't imagine what they'll come out with when it comes to ladies serving. Utterly ridiculous I think...covering the ball with your face.

Hahahaha I think you're right in Timo's case Anders. But then again check out Saive legs. Can't believe we're discussing about other mens' legs!
