  4. English National Championships 2017 - LIVE NOW!

    Sam Walker beat Liam Pitchford again? This triangle matchup is not cool at all - they should have a final 3 all play all to see who wins among the top 3.

    It's not about amateurs or pros, it's about finding what he likes. He knows what he likes, but he doesn't know what is like it. He tried something popular so we have a reference point which we can use to point him in a direction.

    If you play competitively at the same time as training, this is one approach. But sometimes, if you just put in the time with the right kind of training, what you think are small adjustments can be built into the main stroke easily. It also depends on how you think of the small adjustments...
