The setup sounds great - good luck.

Well, I do know this stroke so it isn't completely alien to me and I have many hours with it. I just have to find a version of it that I can practice and trust while moving to a ball away from me. Lots of shadowing right now lol. I would argue that I do it sometimes in the video, but just...

I've thought about it some more and I realize that the way I use my arm on the forehand is kinda wrong with the backswing being to far away from the body to force me to sync it up with the hip - engages the upper arm and shoulder too much. Changing my forehand might hurt a bit so it will be a...

Definitely still have physical limitations, I have trained so hard this week that my knees and elbow are hurting (but I get two weeks off traveling so I hope the rest will fix things). Just trying to continue to look at my technique (otherwise, what is the point of practice) and of course, have...

Thanks. It's a thought I had so it is good to hear confirmation it is could be something to take more seriously (in my head when I am looping, the lag between shoulder and hip isn't as bad it looks whenever I see it on video and it is usually much worse down the line than cross court). I just...

Any tips to improve my forehand topspin? My hitting partner here said that my spin on my forehand topspin is less than that on my backhand topspin and I would like to see if anyone has any insight why so that I can figure out how to improve the spin on my forehand...

Whether it is good to take stimulating substances as part of one's improvement regimen? Depends on the cost benefit and long term safety. There is no single right answer. As long as you know the long term effects are not harmful, then you can do what you want. That said, there are probably...

IT could be Dignics 80.

This is the key thing - while lots of things in table tennis are level dependent, there is truly no single correct answer in table tennis to win or stay in a point all the time. IT is always style and context dependent and must take into account the abilities of the player. As a general rule...

I think the problem is that Xu Xin is a bigger force than Ding Ning. They also didn't take the singles prospects of Liu Shiwen seriously early enough. If they knew who the 3rd player on the women's team was, they could have done that a long time ago. Unfortunately, Chen Meng bombed out, Sun...

SO Hirano won?

Lol. They are reigning mixed doubles champs for Japan I believe. But Morizono had no.chance for singles/teams.

Old guard fend off new generation.

I wonder what happened to Niu Guankai.

Even 5 years ago, Zhang Chao while winning every match he played, only went 5 games against one player, a left-handed female Chinese penholder. The funny thing is that before the NA Teams, if you look at the USATT ratings of Fang Yichi and He Aige, they are only 2 points apart. After he went...

Of course you know where I am going with this - you started introducing delusion and I am point out that you should stop trying to accuse people who disagree with you of being delusional and deal with the facts. I am not sure how you are measuring this. Men and women don't compete with each...

Women compete extremely well with men in everything in life. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded - after all, the fastest woman in the world would put you to shame. It is really about the levels of competition and women don't compete at every level the same way men do in table tennis and...

It is tough being an adult learner. Just saw a Tom Lodziak video where he talks about Rade Markovic commenting on Tom's game. If you learned mostly after your 20s and have bad knees, you will know what Tom is going through. And many people who do not put themselves on video are making...

I am probably going to borrow my club mates Viscaria tomorrow and test it for this question. That said I am curious about popular opinion. Which is better, T05, T05H or D05? I was leaning towards T05H but no one has seconded it.

Find a blade you like and get a blade maker to fix the handle (or sand it down yourself).
