Between point coaching is now legal (has been for a few years) as long as the flow of the match is not interrupted. Basically the coach can call out instructions or communicate signs. But if you think the student verbally acknowledged or discussed with the coach and that took the form of a...

These things are all best handled with a coach, but if you are an adult learner, you are your first coach, at least as important as a formal coach over time. None of us are going to be world class players, so the compromises involved must be understood. But again, no one is advocating anything...

If we are playing hardbat, maybe, but even then, there are differences due to the ball size and table size there as well. Moreover, no one changes the angle radically during the ball contact. What most people do is swing fast through a trajectory that often incorporates angle changes because...

As I have said numerous times, your framing of the problem repeatedly shows you don't understand enough table tennis to analyze the issue. Blahness already pointed out some of the missing issues, but the most obvious one is that the awing. the trajectory is not the same thing as the racket...

It's essentially your problem. I definitely don't play my best after 5 mins of hitting, but I make up my mind to be ready to play after 5 minutes of hitting and accept the results. If I absolutely think I need 30 minutes with the right quality of practice partner to be match ready, it is my...

So I am done EJing for a bit. That last thing out there that still tempts me is an SZLC blade but I am not going yo do it unless I get a windfall of some sort. I tried K3 and it isnt obviously better for me than Golden Tango though I might give it a spin on my backhand on one of my setups...

BB: Curving the ball trajectory in soccer with a wrapping kick is a myth. The ball only spends milliseconds in contact with your foot so you can't make it spin any differently based on how your follow through. Did you know that the ball compresses? Your model for spinning the soccer ball...

Oh, I am assuming Felix wins and Gauzy has to play Kallberg.

While it is unlikely, Karlsson does have the playing level to beat Alexis - he was the other guy to take Freitas to 7 (of course he lost while Felix won).

Looks like they really prepped Truls for Alexis - not looking good for France as Gauzy will have perform miracles to keep them in it if they lose this.

Superpowers...

Felix the Flash Lebrun with a great comeback from being down in the 4th to level the match 1-1. Truls and Alexis up next - winner of this match almost certain takes it all.

In case the link above doesn't work: https://europeangames.tv/live?id=6329499810112 Sweden won the doubles - Felix vs Anton live right now.

Men's team Semis: https://europeangames.tv/live?id=6329499810112 They put Truls in doubles (probably don't like his chances so much vs Felix).

Sadly, in a year where the nationals is being hosted only 30 minutes from me, I have to travel with my wife for her friend's birthday. Life...

He who asks for the time as proof that the sun has risen and then chastises people (as opposed to explaining the basis of his skepticism) when they ask him to look outside is truly blind.

If you don't understand then you haven't watched him play. If you get as much spin from OX hardbat as you do from Tenergy, then you draw conclusions from that, you end up where OP is. :ROFLMAO:

One of the first things a high level coach told me was that good coaches disagree all the time in table tennis. But the main thing that kept the disagreements fruitful was that the discussions were usually grounded in their experience playing and developing players. So even when they...

We are playing for fun but there is always stuff to improve especially against the players that beat us. The thing about the video is that the speed of play showed very little that challenged you so the things to help you play faster don't really make a big difference when you are not...

Here is Timo Boll discussing the approach of hitting the ball more open and pronating the arm or closing the angle at contact as an alternative approach to setting the angle early and adding topspin. Again the fact that he makes a distinction between the two approaches is the important thing...
