Also helps to be able to compare what you did/do/are doing to what your coach does/did/is doing without the pressure of trying to do it at the same time.

Which is why you tape your lessons and review them so that you can practice what you learned with your training partners.

Many servers, if an issue with their serve is pointed out, will try to serve as legally as possible. So this is negotiable in most circumstances. I personally don't formally complain about illegal serves unless I am at an umpired tournament. But if they bother you, bring it to the attention...

Because the league is fun and you don't have to play by every single top level professional rule to have fun.

It's partly because of the nature of the coaching. Too many students like to take lessons from high level coaches rather than from coaches, no matter their level, with a good track record of teaching the kind of player that the student is. Anyways, let's not derail this topic - I have seen...

That's irrelevant - lessons make you a better player for sure. EJism does not!

I used the regular Rhyzm rubber in different sponge hardnesses so I agree. But I still think Calibra Sound wins.

TareqPhoto, Either you pay for coaching online or you pay for coaching in person or you find a better player, make him your friend, and then have him teach you stuff. Table tennis is hard to learn without coaching. Since you have a camera, record all your matches and if you have good...

For someone who has a camera, TareqPhoto is pretty slow...

By far and away Calibra LT Sound.

The racket head speed you need to return serves aggressively is the same racket head speed you need to generate good spin. That's one of the reason why it pays to learn good short spin serves - so you can use similar motions/strokes to return good spin serves. Without those strokes, most of...

+1. MX-S, which I use alongside T05, requires you to use a larger stroke or have extremely fast hand speed to play with it comfortably.

I used it in 1.8mm a few years agp. IMO, blade is not affected by rubber so much that you should change your blade to use a rubber except you have a preferred setup speed. Just use it on the backhand of anything. It reacts less to spin so it allows you to be a bit more aggressive in trying...

Short pips - they make the learning curve easier. Try 802-40. It's like inverted but less spin reactive. It will help you understand what goes on with serves more easily.

Don't do it... titanium carbon... come on man, where is your video of your forehand loop? You seem to be derailing yourself and going down the EJ path... let me save you before you spend so much money not solving the problem...

I guess the truth is that you are all into seamless now, but if you were into NP 40+, would serve you right for your objective TTNPP commentary. :p

Because I live in America, I meet a lot of fellow posters at local tournaments or play at the same events even when I don't meet them. We also give more time and space to American tournaments/events. NA is mostly USA and Canada (and occasionally Bermuda etc.) so it is a pretty small. Oh, and...

Megaspin is not an independent vendor - they just aggregate what other vendors offer and take a cut. So if no US Vendor is offering what you are looking for on megaspin, it will not be offered by megaspin. If PaddlePalace sells anything on megaspin, it definitely isn't their Nittaku stuff. I...

Most of what I buy is mail order but there is an interesting mix of very few mail order and bricks and mortar all over the USA, with the latter being very old stores/clubs. I Ejed a lot so I always looked for cheap stuff so the low-service, low cost foreign vendors like timitts.be and ttnpp.com...

If I bought my table tennis gear closer to home, I would either be unable to buy what I needed or be broke by now - just saying...
