  1. Korea Open 2016

    Looks like I was wrong - Boll about to lose 1-4 to Flore.
  2. Is over celebrating a problem in table tennis?

    Sure. That's why people celebrate after winning a match on someone's error. Give me a break. There is a point you are making, but you are really being parochial about it.
  3. Is over celebrating a problem in table tennis?

    No one celebrates those *things* - they are celebrating their winning the point.
  4. Korea Open 2016

    Oshima is young!
  5. Korea Open 2016

    Tristan beat Lin Gaoyuan. Of course he can beat Boll. But I trust Boll. He will not be surprised by Flore.
  6. Korea Open 2016

    CCA is playing ZJK. That is usually interesting...
  7. Korea Open 2016

    They will use rankings in July for Olympic seeding. And people from the same country are on opposite halves of the draw in Olympics.
  8. Is over celebrating a problem in table tennis?

    What is an unforced error in a game as tight and mentally demanding as table tennis? I get the gist of what you are saying but when you win a significant point, you are likely going to celebrate, whether the opponent served into the edge of his side or you looped the ball with immaculate...
  9. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Gathering information that is probably not going to do much. Don't pay me much mind - it is my way of berating myself and saying that I really need to work on my plays.

    I am switching to a 4 days a week schedule excluding coaching days. Coaching days will be exclusively for coaching with no training. Yesterday was league night but I was not in the mood to drive an hour. So I went to my regular club. I was also committed to Eternity VPS V + Hexer but I...

    I agree the SPW is head heavy. Some people can't use the blade for that reason and some people use a lighter rubber on backhand. I used Hexer but I also have a head heavy training blade that I have glued 3 sheets of rubber to on each side. Ever since I started using that for shadow strokes...

    It happens to everyone until you get used to that level. Don't give it any mind. On the match video clip you shared of your best pointment, I noticed some non-standard fOrmond and technique which you could probably refine. Learning standard technique and using it all the time till you can...
  13. Korea Open 2016

    Flore beat Xu Hui in the Champions league recently. That match was an eye opener on the quality of his game. The French are making massive jumps.
  14. Korea Open 2016

    Timo can beat all those people in proper form. I know you are German, but I don't think you appreciate how good Boll really is and how upsetting his game is to people who have never played him.

    You are overthinking this.
  16. Is over celebrating a problem in table tennis?

    It is more likely his training. I have heard some Asian coaches fine or chastise star players for not choing.
  17. Tennis elbow

    Usually, tennis elbow is caused my a muscle getting tight and pulling really hard on a tendon. If you massage the muscle and tendon really hard, they can loopen up like and become free. I have had tennis elbow many times and it has never stopped me from plaging after a massage of the joints...

    Not so sure about the pushing, but I guess it all depends on the level of player and the spin that you had incoming to begin with.
  19. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    It all depends on whether the player is attacking with the pips or anti. I haven't seen you play but I will credit you with being at a level that if the player just blocks with anything, over time, you will figure it out, and that you are usually the first aggressor. But when the player gets...
  20. Question about reflexes

    The one thing I will add is that in actual matches, the quality of the ball you hit and the level of your opponent often determine your ability to anticipate. If you hit a weak ball, it is much harder to tell where your opponent is going to hit it next as he has more options with time and...
