Tensor non-linearity is a huge problem for me - before I used to try to like it, but I just could never full adjust. The closest I got was probably Andro Hexer for my style but I still had issues. At the risk of being a pusher, I would like people to try the Airoc Astro, the TSP Regalis Blue...

Most of my time in TT practice is consumed with looking at my whip mechanics and trying out different ideas and seeing which one gives me better or worse whip with control. Would probably be easier if I was a nicer and richer person and paid a coach that I could listen to, but for now...

Yes, forehand from righty BH to righty opponent's BH is an inside out loop.

A more efficient whip mechanic is not beyond anyone's reality. The structure of your stroke is in your control as long as you are willing to receive feedback and go through the process of shadow stroking and swinging at the ball... What I like about your game is that the bigger body parts and...

I will try to address this substantively: Unless you have practiced something for a year or two, everything in table tennis is hard to adapt to a real ball. I don't care whether it is serving, blocking, flicking etc. I have been working on fixing my forehand for two years, I know I am a...

I'm a little older here and I didn't know either!

Ah, yes, he does. And I find that the experience of your failures is probably the most valuable thing that you can give people - how you tried to do something and it just didn't work, and how you think you solved it. Technical advice is common, connecting to people to give that advice not so...

Another 7 game classic between Mizutani and Jeoung. If Jeoung doesn't deliver something to back up this upset, it will be a bit annoying as I wanted to see a Mizutani story.

Mizutani goes back to his true colors...

Very funny. I am younger than you are even if I do have auto-immune arthritis. I also wish there were higher level players giving advice but that has an issue (in my experience) if the higher level players haven't worked extensively with amateurs of the kind asking for advice, usually adults...

Vladi looks at his paddle and wishes he had Tenergy or Hurricane .... ONLY JOKING GUYS!!! :p

They played last week in Champions league so I am sure Muromatsu who lost studied the video harder.

I know you get coaching but my questions to you are as follows: 1. How old were you when you started playing? 2. How many older players have you extensively coached?

Assume you were coaching someone who started playing as an adult, maybe 3 or 4 years ago at most, possibly 2. What would you tell him? I know you can't see how long he has been playing for, so I want to see if that changes your approach to evaluating his game.

IMO, you are generally on a good path. There is a lot of stuff you do that I wish Boogar would take a page out of when trying to be very aggressive with your forehand. You are a backhand player so it is actually funny that Boogar who is a forehand player is not as aggressive when dealing with...

It's partly about footwork and adjusting to the ball correctly. But what you need to do is consistently spin. The stroke for attacking medium high balls is a bit different and is what you sometimes see me do when I straighten my arm and loop kill. But you aren't there yet. You should be...

Yes, you are. You could also just brush a little more even if you wanted to close the blade angle somewhat unnaturally, but that would give less spin and less of a hitting area. Spinning up round the side but while finishing on the same side and adjusting to keep the trajectory going mostly...

Yes. Use your imagination or watch some Timo Boll.

One way to think about it is to use your shoulder to cover the ball when playing forehands or flicks. That way, you avoid trying to play with just your hand. It's partly a footwork/balance thing, but the concept is helpful.

Those are not the shots DerEchte referenced. His times may have been off but use your thinking cap.
