I think it's the English that say that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones? I have been playing club level TT for about 5 years or so. I read a lot of stuff on the internet and listened to people that I never saw play who sounded pretty insightful. At that time, I couldn't...

That makes sense. If you're hitting, that works. I've forgotten how to hit anything that isn't heavy topspin.:p

Yeah, those members need to get their head-checked. Would be curious to know who these members are...

Not good enough to be getting on people, but a surprisingly clean game with all the issues of a late learner but few of the major demerits (other than dodgy backhand timing). Your criticizing rights have been reinstated (as if I could ever revoke them)!

Burninating the country side! Burninating the archotaurus! Burbinating the nextkettlel! Turbinating the kowabonga! Burninating the TTlobster! Burninating the CarlUpDownSide!

The best part of how Archo posts is how often his posts disconnect people while other experienced posters connect with people.

No, I am judging your abilities to be an internet coach. And I am being fairly objective about it based on the evidence you have thus far presented.

Most professional coaches would not venture advice without having seen who they were offering advice to. And a professional coach would establish his expertise and why he should be listened to. Does that help show the problem? Young people like to believe that life is logical - no, life is...

OK, Archo. Carry on. Everything you write makes me more convinced than ever that you need to learn a lot more about table tennis and human beings if you want to do what you do competently.

At some point, it makes sense to know who you are talking to so you can determine if such said experience is applicable. And it makes sense for others to know to whom they are taking so they can determine if such said experience is worth listening to, don't you think? Forget the "elitism...

Can you stop posting about other people's technique until you either present yours or you link to videos displaying the precise things you recommend?

Both approaches have value in my experience. The thing is that when you are lower rated, you often don't have the ability to track and adjust for sidespin behind your third ball if the ball has quality. So you need to be able to vary the amount of spin as well as serve without sidespin when...

You didn't play the guy and your strokes are probably worse than his. Post video first before talking.

What happened to Hurricane and Chinese loop? :P Seriously though, T05 is the best thing in the universe. I just can't step back and play with it.

Hahaha... poor Akrasia... Xiom was a good mistake in a way. I tried Omega V Asia because a friend had been pushing it to me for a while. I didn't have a blade to put it on, so I got out my Xiom blade and stuck it there. And then I liked it better than my T05 for what I like to do (play very...

Don't worry, Sebas. IT's okay. Mummy loved you.

RajaLoopah is giving people the wrong impression by being modest - he is a good enough player to use that setup. I mean, I am a good enough player to use that setup, so is Carl. I think passifid had the best and most relevant comment - the guy has told you he wants to have fun with fast set...

I think the preferred LGL plan was for ML and ZJK to play singles and XX to play team with FZD as alternate, according to an article that was posted on mytt. But I haven't seen it repeated anywhere else.

Everything you are saying is true of all players. That's why putting in the hours count. If your main serve is already at a good level in terms of ball trajectory and spin variation (both amount and deception), you may not need more serves per se, but it can help. The main reason I learned so...

Baum has gone through a very tough past two years, especially losing his father, so I am very happy for him with this result. Hopefully, he will regain or even exceed his place as German #3 and make the team more reliable for the Olympics.
