Are you basing this comment on your own experience or from what you've heard? Because whilst I haven't used MX-P extensively (and not for a few years) I would be incredibly surprised if I could get more speed out of Dignics 09c. In fact, I'd say I absolutely could not get more speed from it...

Different people/cultures have different expectations of how things should be - I think it’s perfectly reasonable to ask a wider audience like this forum to see if your own expectations match up with others. Eric, there’s lots of information that would be useful. Is the person talking...

There's a few things I'd say after watching the videos, and you allude to it in this comment. Firstly, play always looks slower than you think it is - It feels fast and fluid at the time, but the video doesn't always look the same way. Pips players at this level cause very similar problems...

This right here is a great example of how posting video of yourself can really help add context to a discussion. I'm not saying that every good player has opinions that I agree with (about technique/coaching/equipment etc). But when you have a low level player who has never hit a very good...

But people shouldn't have to ignore them. If I was looking at joining the forum, and had a quick look through the most recent topics, I'd turn around and never look back. Why should the majority have to turn a blind eye to a very small number of people who make the forum a tedious place to be...

Completely get that, but personally, I see no benefit to certain people being here when their sole purpose is to troll and agitate. Contributing positively (even if it's a disagreement) is one thing. But there are some people who should be removed to make this forum a better place (again, just...

Awesome stuff JK, OK, one very quick tip would be to take the ball earlier. I think you "get away" with playing it very late because you have a decent amount of spin on your FH and your opposition struggle with that. You actually look to be in pretty good position in general - However you...

If only Carl were a robot who didn't need sleep 😬 I agree that Carl does a wonderful job, but he can't be relied on 24/7 to keep things running smooth, and nor do I think it should fall on his shoulders to make tough decisions on his own. It would be lovely if everyone followed commonly agreed...

I agree on the mod side. To my knowledge, Carl is the only mod here (assume Dan can also moderate, but I don’t know if he does). I’m usually against most moderation on forums, but I feel TTD would benefit from 3 or 4 new moderators across the different time zones. It’s an impossible and...

Gozo, I’m in two minds here. One is to just say “congratulations, great work” and give you a big old pat on the back. The other is to be real….. and considering our conversations in the past, I know that deep down, you do want to be the best you can be, and can take constructive advice...

You know, in all the years of reading and commenting on forums, I find you to be quite unique (in a good way!) The 2 things so many people worldwide lack (in Table Tennis) is a coach who can teach and a huge amount of self belief. You have both of those with plenty to spare, and the luxury of...

Gonna try and comment before this all gets a bit spicy..... 😂 @GM3 - Going back to your practice match video against the chap in black, one thing I'd recommend is trying to have a focus on improving one part of your game (and just work on that one part). I say this because the difference in...

You’d think I’d been around long enough to read things properly wouldn’t you….. Clearly not! 😂

I think it's really obvious he's a 2300 + player..... Different coloured shoes? Knee band? Cybershape blade? This man is a baller right here! (just a little joke for any non native English speaker who doesn't get my humour!) On a serious note, this is one of the many quirks of Table Tennis...

But wouldn’t this forum be a better place if people could post video (even in their own threads) without the risk of judgement, criticism and “Online coaches” telling them where to improve? Sure, freedom of speech is a thing….. But just because you can say something, it doesn’t mean you should...

Yeah, let’s not let this descend into negativity. Remember, we have loads of people from different countries all trying to speak English - Tone and true meaning can sometimes be lost. As far as I can see, GM hasn’t asked for any advice - He’s posted video of his play (which was requested by...

$15 per hour is CRAZY good value for an hour of 1 to 1 coaching! $35 per month just to be a member seems expensive for most people - But given how much you play, I would say it was still very good value for money. To put it into perspective, most UK clubs would cost $50-150 for the entire...

Great videos! I don’t think people realise just how different the game can look on camera compared to how you think you play. We are all so used to seeing pros, and semi pros like Dan/Tom etc, that you forget they are the 0.000001% of players. I record myself, and feel like I’m playing...

Just to add here, there is a downside to posting video online...... As far as I can see, GM hasn't asked for any advice, and has simply posted his own video for everyone to see what level he is at - Something many forum regulars recommend to be able to contribute in a more effective way. To be...

You've not asked for any feedback, so I won't give any. I just wanted to say I LOVE the fact that as a person who hasn't posted video before, you've: 1. Left the whole clip unedited - It's so easy to go back through and cut out all the mistakes and miss hits to try and make you look better...
