  1. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    First of all, what you need to realize is that most of the balls you are seeing are not heavy balls. If you close your racket and loop those balls with a full body stroke, you will kill most of them. Part of the problem is that you are trying to use touch to control the balls that have no spin...

    Boogar, You gotta swing from the body more. You are getting about 20% of your true power. And you are pushing too many balls. You have to do service falkenberg. Do falkenberg drill with the feeder serving. Loop even the balls that you think will break your racket and loop the high balls...

    Thanks for making that clear.

    Here is the latest footage of my pendulum serve. When I serve it long and fast (not shown here per se), I have actually gotten players to go into a trance wondering what the heck is up with the backspin version as it swerves through the air.

    That's why he is on my ignore list - so I don't feel compelled to respond to such stuff anymore.

    Look for videos of Dickie Fleisher. You may have already but that is where to start, I think. The style you are playing requires great touch. Good luck with it. For lower rated players, and in general, the solution is spinnier serves with inverted. Doing everything with the pips puts too...

    Slow is a relative term. The main thing is that your emphasis is on spin, not pace. If I just roll a serve, sometimes, I am trying to put more into the spin than the pace. It might not be super slow, but it is not a power loop. The contact is more thin brush than thick brush or drive...
  9. Playing and getting use to playing with 2 different rubbers on each side?

    Ah, you are supposed to use hard sponge rubbers on both sides if you are a pro who hits the ball hard - except for Emmanuel Lebesson who uses FX-P on both sides and hits the ball just about as fast and hard as anyone out there. You are supposed to to use the harder rubber on the forehand -...
  10. England vs Greece! Live on theSPORTBible today!

    Happy for England. How Gionis lost that match though is a good question for those who have the time to figure it out because I doubt I can other than to say that it just happens.

    Timo Boll was up 2-1, 10-3 vs Samsonov and lost the match.

    BTW, I hit a roller with my backhand on Tuesday. First time ever. Of course, no camera to record it. Great....

    Conversion depends on a lot of factors and is never straightforward. What the default rating in your country is plays a role, as well as how often players in your country play other well rated Ratings Central players.

    You don't know what you really SOUND like... and since you aren't speaking, I must be an idiot to write that, right?

    No video of the matches anywhere?

    Okay, feeling is ACOUSTIC in nature. Does that solve the problem?

    No wonder you felt that iacas was being extreme. This is clearly not what he meant and not what I mean. In Physics, which is about as precise as anything, sound waves are simply created by vibrations. Language is generally imprecise so it's more important to understand what someone is saying...

    By making it clearer that when deaf people sense a ball on their racket, they are doing it in a similar way to how to get can sense music even when they don't hear it. And this kind of sound perception, whether it is related to prior prioception or to auditory perception, is still sound...

    Well, I think you are wrong and they would feel the vibrations of the ball on their racket. But since I haven't performed the tests, I cannot say and I could be very much wrong. The impact of the ball on my racket is often more significant to me than music.
