Don't worry. Train hard with pips. On a more serious note, I told my friends I had found my ideal combo earlier this year and I would not switch. That's part of the prank as well.

Ligthen up buddy, have you ever played ZJK?

Hmm... I only have one point from this match, but it shows you my potential to be high class.

Shuki, Our games are more similar than you think so I understand your pain 100%. Ovtcharov is my high level.soul mate. Yes you can banana flick from the forehand side or even push with your backhand or basic backhand flick. I will find a video from a a Canadian player for you sometime on...

Yes, it's viable. As you pointed out, it depends on the opponent. In this game, you build more weapons so that you don't have nothing to throw at someone who is foiling your A game/plan. IF you find someone with a strong topspin game, a banana might take you ought of position. So you still...

I, NextLevel, master of Lumberjack TT, have trained for 5 years in order to look like a respectable table tennis player. After working with my first coach for four years, he gave up on me, saying that no matter how hard I tried, I could not look like a true or good table tennis player. So I...

Yes, but if you finish with your paddle facing the right wall and just try to figure out the technique that gets it, you will be fine. You don't always have to take the ball "later", just take it in your strike zone. I am always reluctant to give specific timing instructions - with practice...

TTM buddy, I watched the matches again. I think I can give you something for your backhand. Your forehand is corkscrew. You could probably try to fade with it once in a while but corkscrew is good. Your backhand is fade or regular top but I think the backhand fade is very easy to turn into...

Dead balls is a bit different. That is more like a chop block.

We need to stay on topic. We just need to decide which one. :rolleyes:

Hit with or hit on? But the way, I use Omega V Asia which is arguably slower than Tenergy 05. I prefer it largely because of the variation I can get on my loops. But I wouldn't tell anyone to go back to Mark V or Sriver to get a better loop. If that is what you want to do, don't do it...

Usually, most blocking is built into counterhitting technique. So the full counterhitting motion of most top players who are seriously counterhitting is a whip motion that closes over the ball. A block is simply a short version of this motion or a forehand topspin. Therefore a proper block...

OK - fine - I rebuilt my technique with Big Dipper and enjoyed it. Slower rubber than Tenergy 05. Not a bad idea to go slower to rebuild technique!

Who made him look like a trash talker over this matter? Is it fair that you are talking about people doing something that no one did?

Your personality is quite testing so I don't blame them to be frank. I hate to say it but I have siblings like you so I know the personality type. If I can't change them, I won't pretend I can change you. At least my association with you is voluntary. With them, it is mandatory.

Coaching to student is a specific relationship. Better players teach worse players all the time and vice versa. It's hard as a worse player to tell when a better player is teaching you the right thing or the wrong thing. Many people confuse better technique with the ability to hit the ball on...

If they are happy to listen to you, by all means, coach them. In life, we get what we deserve.

Coach someone and tell them to close the paddle more when blocking heavy topspin. See what happens. Then let me know why you think it is bad advice. Do the same and tell them to raise the paddle higher vs heavy topspin. I don't say things from rationalization, I say things from experience.

ttmonster, Everything I have watched so far is at a good level and I have nothing easy that I could really add to your game based on the few things I saw in the video. My specialty is arm mechanics and strokes and yours are very solid - I could substitute your game for mine and vice versa with...

When better players told me these things, I learned over time to just keep quiet and try it out in the hopes of one day figuring it out. It took me 2 years to understand what someone meant when he said you needed only one topspin stroke in table tennis. One day, you might figure out why it...
