  1. Why do these events suck so bad with every year getting worse

    Yeah, camera angle sucks. But at least we have stream from all the tables. .) I hope that Ma Short and other youtubers will be there and give us high quality match videos from good angles. I would donate them if I had money .(
  2. World Team Table Tennis Championships 2018

    Anyone knows what's the equipment of North Korean players? Nice play from Apolonia, though it was a tough match .D
  3. Top 5 non-Chinese players against the 2018 WTTTC Team China, who would you pick?

    I looked at the ITTF player matches, but somehow his win over XX avoided my eyes. Also, didn't know about Timo. My list haven't changed, however this changes a little bit my opinion...
  4. Top 5 non-Chinese players against the 2018 WTTTC Team China, who would you pick?

    Also, Mizutani might have chicken wing FH, but his movements are very fluid and I think it looks cool. Can't say the same about Adrian Crisan or Tomas Keinath (they are great players, but their styles aren't too aesthetic)
  5. Top 5 non-Chinese players against the 2018 WTTTC Team China, who would you pick?

    Could you share those? I think we all would appreciate it.
  6. Topspin against slow no spin ball

    I TL;DR-ed the replies, but the answer is to try hit the ball more on it's top, not at back and do it thinly. Then it's a matter of practice.
  7. World Team Table Tennis Championships 2018

    Anyone reads the poll's question? It ask who do you WANT to win the WTTTC! I believe many people just clicked on china because they will win most likely. (No offense, I don't have a problem with CNT) Team Hungary also works hard for a better position
  8. Top 5 non-Chinese players against the 2018 WTTTC Team China, who would you pick?

    I partially agree with team japan lacking power. However Mizutani and Oshima has power on the FH side, Niwa with all-in shots. I watched some JYS matches and have to agree, he has enough power (though his FH is pretty weak compared to lots of players, however quite consistent). Still, I...
  9. What is the best way to improve table tennis?

    Sad to hear that someone is bored by TT. If he see someone with motivation to be a pro player, then he should work hard as well. It might be annoying to train guys, who are lower level than you and lack the real motivation to be better, just hanging around.
  10. Top 5 non-Chinese players against the 2018 WTTTC Team China, who would you pick?

    Maybe I wasn't too kind, because he definitely is a good player, but still. He is still No.7. You know who is underrated? Ueda Jin! No.25! The WR is a joke. WCT is stable and strong, but can't remember a time when he proved he might stand a chance against the CNT. He is stable, but I haven't...
  11. Top 5 non-Chinese players against the 2018 WTTTC Team China, who would you pick?

    Who the hell beat FZD? ;):D That guy is a monster. Dima - obvious Hugo - he got pretty good only recently, worth a try. he is got power, that's a key point Harimoto - obvious Niwa - double edged weapon, if he don't messes up with unforced errors and BH-BH exchanges he is very-very dangerous...
  12. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Hi, anyone knows where can I find the french pro a league player rankings?
  13. What is the best way to improve table tennis?

    Actually I think he trained less in the measure of hours than many of the players out there. He isn't a full time player as he has a normal school life besides that. It's a miracle that with only that much training he became that good. Quality training and talent together! However, Dima is well...
  14. What is the best way to improve table tennis?

    I am not sure if straight 3 hours of one shot is effective. I would rather go for 10 minute x shot, 10 minute y, 10min z, 10 min x, 10 min y, 10 min z. I will make quotes here (from wiki and other other articles which are using informations from scientific researches): 'Although varied practice...
  15. first participation in tabletennis competition

    Don't have expectations. I played two times in official (ranking) tournaments so far. First I played surprisingly good, beat a good player in groups, then lost in the first round from a stable but nothing special kid. Then I took a year long break from tournaments and I was excited about my...
  16. What is the best way to improve table tennis?

    It's nice that you decided about that. .) I hope you will become one eventually. I am curious, how old are you, when you started to play and how much can you train?
  17. Transferring conscious to subconscious

    Thank you! I realized I played the Chopin prelude in the past. It's one of my favourite pieces, if not the favourite, so I will dig up the score. And yesterday I learned to play the Bach (fortunately I found the Well-tempered Clavier book at home). I haven't memorized yet, so it's not stable...
  18. Penhold forehand vs Shakehand forehand

    Xu Xin doesn't stretches his arm either. He just has a more fixed elbow position. From another angle they would seem more similar. fixed elbow and wrist is good. It gives you more consistency. But don't do it hard! The key points: you shouldn't have tension in you arm or shoulder or wrist when...
  19. Transferring conscious to subconscious

    I play the piano as an amateur. I don't have enough time to practice, as I spend most of my time away from a piano (2 or 3 times per week maximum). It's a pain that I can't play freely because my technique isn't good enough. I am better in TT, but my technical limitations are still there...
  20. Transferring conscious to subconscious

    I've always performed inconsistently. Sometimes I could flow, but most of the times I struggled. I've tried a wide range of training methods, from the 'just think you're ML' to 'do everything conscientiously". Despite how hard I tried to find the perfect method for me, it didn't seemed to work...
