There is a team event (WTTTC) which you are forgetting. Those things still matter long term for players. And people get injured and you need a succession policy. Ideally you don't want to have it but it has to be on paper somewhere.

This is not trivial. I am a believer that XX schedule hurt him in 2015 WTTC. The Japanese just don't seem to have thought about it in that way. Maybe they are deemphasizing going for gold in any specific event and focusing more on giving combinations of players a view before the Olympics. I am...

They were not speaking in English. In a sense, the rule gave an advantage to non-English teams since everyone speaks English.

Oh. I saw a pro surprisingly complain in a recent video. Wasn't his finest moment.

Will think about it - it is a bit more difficult as a married man, but if I am in Europe on vacation, I will see whether we can make something work. May be next year but we will see.

What I saw was honestly pretty good. You are swinging with your core not just your upper arm. The camera angle is terrible so I can't say much more. Get a better recording setup please! Over time try to engage the legs more.

Seriously, thanks for coming to this forum. Your insight perfectly aligns with mine. Usually, when someone is as aggressive as Lightzy is, you want to know something about their TT history that makes them believe they know so much. And you get absolutely nothing from Lightzy. And the small...

Okay. Not sure what your level is but you sound like I do when I argued with my coach. I used to try to tell him how to train me. And I now realise how silly I was being. But on some things my stubborn approach did work out short term. Everyone has different goals for their game. When I got...

Honestly I thought the translations were a parody when I first watched it. I suspect what is really happening is that Zhu Yuling has gotten extremely far in CNT despite playing a style that the coaches don't really like. And that this match was an opportunity for the coach to get on her a bit...

Doing a short push off a long push is a level 1000 difficulty skill that even.Ma Long doesn't practice. Pushing long again or playing a topspin are your only real options. Even if you get the ball to bounce short, it will usually be high or long. Better to spend time on the conventional...

A trampoline absorbs energy. It doesn't generate energy. Do you spring up higher when you bounce on a trampoline or when you bounce on the ground? It is not about generating energy but about the amount of energy you store/absorb and the amount of energy you *return*.

I have some video with a professional coach, unfortunately the camera angle isn't great. If people want me to share, I can at some point.

This is a pleasant surprise. Kudos to SYS for defying the odds.

But not if you can't read the serves.

There was also another match 6 months later at Lily Yip. I think I had stopped serving backspin then. How did that go? The matches are online - what people can see is very straightforward - if people do not return William's serve badly, his level drops considerably. It has very little to do...

Lets just say I served a lot of backspin serves back then. I serve a lot more sidespin and topspin now. I would actually wager the same bet with DerEchte now and I am still 2000. Thr only difference is that I have played for 7 years not 4, and my serves are not all heavy backspin any more. Even...

Brett was really good at this. Consider joining TTEdge if only for a month or two. He will elevate your coaching. He made me understand that you don't learn to control the ball by trying to put it on the table all the time.

Try the Classic. It is very similar in handles but more limba based.

I think you are right but the main question is whether the plastic ball has reduced the impact of spin in a way that favors flat hitting and to what degree. I don't think pointing to the current generation of top players conclusively closes the issue. I do think that flat hitting is now easier...

You are not alone. I played with the Extra and liked it and have a review on it. I recommended it to a friend who tried both the Extra and the Classic and preferred the softer classic. He liked the handle of both but wanted something with more feelings. Does that make the Extra a horrible...
