So do I.

Topspin block like a mini-loop. The problem is that when the topspin is increased to make the ball rise up and down in a vertical plane, the ball is harder to track. Some players like the extra topspin but most will hate the fact that the ball is not easy to track and will racket edge it or...

I fully sympathize with you. To be fair, one thing I will say is that it makes you a better player to be able to adjust to these balls. But the problem is that the opponents often don't appreciate what you are doing for them and cannot so the same for you. Really bad. I agree with pretty much...

I can show you a few such players. In the US we have Dickie Fleisher and Jay Lee. The sponge makes it easier to hit and the pips may be somewhere between medium and long. Fleisher plays with OX though I believe. If you learn to push or counter hit their balls consistently it can help as well...

TurboZ, we get it. Strongly disagree with you. Many people have written what you wrote already so please let's not go around in circles. He never said he was not a pro coach as he claims to have students and that is no excuse not to state his playing and coaching level. His words can be wrong...

It's really weird how often people have this misconception that the right way to hit with better players is to hit powerful smashes or powerful loops/counters. Only if the better player asks for it should you do that. Better players don't necessarily defend better against people who kill their...

Tough to do well in a tournament playing outside your comfort zone against someone who is playing in his, especially when he is 3 levels above you. You probably need to play him many more times to get to a point where you really are where you want to be. I find that such guys if you can play...

Maybe when I was 1200, partly because the some players at my club are Black and partly because I blocked and pushed well. I tell people I coach or hit with all the time to fix their block if they want to hit with higher players often. Better players don't care about your loops or smashes, they...

Really to the tune of this...

Here we go again... SchemeSC, Carl, unless you have something new to say, please.... If you don't get it by now.... You will never never ever get it... Ooooooooo....

And so is this one. Says a lot about the forced allocation of human resources.

This is one of the best posts ever written about the supposedly secret Chinese approach to table tennis.

The whip on those forehands is sick, German looping style at its best.

Sure. I respect that too. And privacy is the reason he is not providing his years of experience or some estimate of his playing/coaching level? Really?

What happened to the signature of my favorite poster of TT insights?

Wow.... Booger played a real forehand. Do my eyes deceive me?

Booooo..... Boooooo...... Then again, someone I remember with a handle like yours got injured trying to copy the playing style of a pro player...

lololol.......

Carl, I have decided to give up and join SugaD and the other Gans of EmRatThich. You have taught us enough. We get it. If you don't get it by now, you will never never never ever get it... oooooooo.... Well you never gonna get it... Not this time... The pooiint... you never gonna get it...

That's why I am in good spirits - I still play. Watch this match - this guy is rated in the 1800s in the league... I am down 9-4 in the 5th... but some amazing things happen.... I give you the match at 2-2, 10-9 in the 5th... youtu.be/kC0uskwi2Z4?t=912
