  1. 🚨 What Is Your BIGGEST Problem In Table Tennis At The Moment?

    This is a bit exaggerated but there is a point he is trying to make. The game has mental components as well as physical components and some of the instincts are harder to get to a high level the older you start. That said, it doesn't matter that much if you can't return a pro serve unless you...

    Sometimes, something about the side of the table (not necessarily physical) makes a difference. Maybe being able to see her coach

    Loop relatively soft but low and forward. The forward spin on the low balls makes them spinnier and faster. It is looping upwards that makes the ball spinny but slow.

    Yeah. Something must have been really wrong vs the display she had in her CIC match. I wouldn't be surprised if she had a death in the family given how she played...

  10. UFO shot (ie BH topspin with FH side rubber)

    One of my late coaches Enoch Green, who was.a 2300 chopper from Philly, used to play around with this again lot and did it. Enabled him to backhand topspin with long pips on the other side for chopping. He practiced it so much I am sure there has to be video of him doing it. He used it in...

    You can't really draw the #32 - seeds are only up to 16, and Groth at 16 even lost to unseeded An Jaehyun - I hear you but Grand Smash draws are very tough by round of 32, and in prelims, you may get lucky with an occasional Oceania or American matchup but even those are no longer as easy as...

    It's just a quality and speed of play thing. Happens at all levels of TT. You would hope that she can develop more weapons but without being increasingly challenged and adapting, at a certain level you are who you are and adaptation might not help that much. And weirdly enough, there is no...

    Those are all legit 2800+ players.
  16. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    No, seriously, MLTT is for over the hill players. These guys are 2800 and young, they should be going to more serious leagues like CSL, Jia A, T-League, Bundesliga, Polish League etc. They must be over the hill otherwise or looking to be over the hill...
  17. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    Some players will never beat Dima even in their best form.
  18. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)
