Not sure why you want a faster blade but the first thing to try is the Timo Boll ZLC.

In fact, it is easier to play the backhand topspin vs. backspin than the backhand topspin vs. topspin at a high level. Look at all these videos (ping skills, lodziak ) - can you see the "unsheath the sword" motion?

I don't agree with any of this at all. The shot is not hard if you have the right mechanics and the Lodziak video shows them - I was trying to give a natural motion that OP can use to get the same effect. The reason why players use the forehand against defenders is that the forehand has a...

Beware of reading too much into table tennis reviews if you don't know much about the reviewer. BTW, MX-P is at least as heavily boosted as EL-P.

You need to use your no spin serve as well against those players when they are attacking your backspin serve, so you have to practice attacking behind it and reading the returnsas the ball is lighter. All serves have weak spin variants per this video here - you can apply the principle to any...

It's probably still your problem. Work on your brush. Looping is not about "swinging full force". It is about brush acceleration at point of contact on the right point on the ball. If you use the motion above, the circular use of elbow and upper arm guarantees acceleration throughout the...

Okay. My point is that no matter what you think, Jingkun upset Mizutani, and that Mizutani is a good enough player that it is 50-50. Maybe in another year, it won't matter, but right now, it is still 50-50.

This is probably the highest level shot in my game and the shot I win the most points with vs. players who I face for the first time. Looping backspin is always a test of technique on either side. The most important first step is to have a good elbow position. In general, full and powerful BH...

Ah, okay. Always hard to get better without being around better players.

I thought Yogi_Beat at mytt was an ITTF certified coach in the Phillipines. And I hear a high level coach might be in your country sometime soon.

OK - here is a match with me playing at my best. Tell me whether Akrasia makes sense here. By the way, the shot at 10:28 is one of the hardest loops/kills I have ever hit in my life - in real time, I amazed myself with that impact. The shot at 25 mins in is the kind of shot you can't make...

Such details are very advanced and are largely a waste of time for building high level basic technique. If you have a good coach who gives you good fundamentals and keeps you relaxed while learning, over time, you will grow into figuring out such things as you will perform subtle experiments on...

I do a lot of serving practice, so I will say this - if there is any reason I want to meet and work with Brett in person, this is it! Brett probably has the answers to all sorts of questions that I cannot get an answer from over email because I can't pose them appropriately. Sidespin is...

And no, it's definitely not a backspin serve. A good backspin serve stops dead or travels back towards the server. The fact that the serve rolls on makes it no spin (very light backspin) or topspin (possibly light topspin).

Carl, you've said just about everything that has to be said. Bobpuls is largely optimizing a relatively spinless technique, to put it nicely. The good thing is that he has learned to control the path and depth optimally so it is low trajectory double bounce. That said the form and the swing...

Will do - maybe someone well get something out of it ;).

Another sock puppet...

Wait, you do realize that Jingkun beat the #6 player in the world, right? (Mizutani)

You unlocked my mind a little. I never made the connection between the floor serve and the table serve trajectory fully until now. Now I can see that part of the reason I like to watch my table serve complete its travel after the serve is over is because I know what the floor serve pattern is...
