  1. I recorded myself PT 2

    Yeah i think that is probably a much more solid grip to use :)
  2. Disappointed on myself

    Yes... let it go and have fun.... stop having expectations and enjoy the process. Laugh some during training and matches. You are not a pro anyways so there is no point bothering too much about winning/losing.
  3. I recorded myself PT 2

    The multiball is actually really quite decent lol. There are lots of good stuff like having short stroke, moving well, use of hips, fast recovery, etc... Not sure about 1st video coz that is a bit of a potato quality vid. Could you post some pics of your grip? Idk but it feels a bit off for...
  4. Videos from my Training Session

    With BH the weight transfer + hip rotation is a very small rotation (maybe only 45 deg max) which is why it is not very evident. But it is for sure present especially in modern players (for eg old gen players like Samsonov dont use it basically). Imo it helps a lot with stability and consistency...
  5. Videos from my Training Session

    The main issues i can see are: BH hip rotation is nonexistent. Without this you are forced to use the arm for the movement. You are basically only hinging on your hips which leads to leaning back after the shot. With hip rotation you can get a lot more explosive with the BH. FH hip rotation...
  6. A table tennis AI???

    Dude TT players are mostly too poor - it is a bad market for AI imo.
  7. Questions about Switching to Chinese Tacky Rubbers

    Biggest problem is boosting. They are good but boosting is just a pain in the ***
  8. Feedback on my League games

    Great job having the mindset of attacking the long serves to the FH! You can see he stopped doing that for free points and started exploiting other weaknesses particularly a tendency to stay too passive. Imo, on dropping the arm it is far easier to simply not drop the arm at all regardless of...
  9. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    Ojio is using SP right? So she is giving a lot of fast no spin shots to anti which makes it super difficult to control for a glanti player.
  10. How do i know if my rubber is dead

    My D05 is 2 yrs old and still going strong lmao
  11. Europe Top-16 Cup 2025

    A bit surprised that Han Ying actually beat Sabine Winter. I think Sabine didnt really train using the anti for off the bounce dropshots to kill the backspin and then following it up by powerful FH loopkills. Instead she was brute force looping very strong underspin chops by Han Ying which is...
  12. Reverse pendulum serve: swing arm forward or backward ?

    I feel like it is easier to keep my serves short if I aim my force towards the sides and upwards, maybe even a little backwards post contact. But it also depends on your setup. I play on a bouncy af setup so this is required for me to rob forward momentum sufficiently to serve short. For ppl...

    Yes footwork is another issue because he doesn't take a lot of mini steps and has no idea of the split step / recovery footwork. But more importantly, his opponents are serving long to his FH without any consequences. You can't allow that to happen basically.
  14. Feedback on my League games

    Yes precisely i can tell you are kinda just winging it rather than having a precise read of the ball spin, and then precisely aiming for and brushing a specific point of the ball and in a specific direction (hook, straight or fade) to ride the incoming sidespin. Without doing this it is very...
  15. 34th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2025, Shenzhen, 2/19-23

    Uda has way worse results than Harimoto on the international stage... not sure why he would be an example here. And a lot of it has to do with Uda's inconsistent BH.
  16. Europe Top-16 Cup 2025

    Sreeja Akula attacks like mad if you dare to push back her chopblocks too. The anti is simply a way to avoid being stuck in BH-BH rallying mode for Sabine, which an opponent can force onto you in way too many ways. If you can convert the game back to underspin, players who are better at FH...
  17. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    The other thing I experimented with is the modern FH against topspin with less body rotation and more focused on speed and positioning and precision (think short stroke FH counterloops by Felix Lebrun, Harimoto and Lin Shidong, compared to say a full stroke FH counterloop like for eg Ma Long or...
  18. Feedback on my League games

    Yeah focus a lot more on aggressively looking for that 1st loop in and bringing a lot of quality into it. But of course, to do so you need to understand precisely where to contact and how to brush for max error tolerance against serves of various types. Like what I mentioned, the contact points...
  19. 34th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2025, Shenzhen, 2/19-23

    His FH is actually pretty nice now, pivoting introduces extra risk which may not pay off in today's game. Harimoto simply needs to increase the power of his BH opening loop against underspin. Everyone is catching him on this weakness now. It is so predictable and easy. Push long to Harimoto's...
  20. Having trouble attacking down the line with Backhand - any tips? (pic included)

    Imo I tried this way before and this doesnt work well in strong BH to BH rallies because he lost his forward lean posture when doing the fade and this is the problem with not adjusting with the body - the body is crucial to ensure consistency and control. Moving the legs allows for far more...
