  1. Drills VS In Game

    The problem with a lot of these is that, the point starts with serve and receive, not a nice medium pace topspin ball. And that is a lot more complex than drills. If you want to do better at matches firstly you need to know how exactly to loop every different type of spin (there are 7 types in...
  2. Countering heavy top challenge

    If you use arm to control the ball it is very hard, you have to use your body to control the topspin especially using the upper body to 'hug' the ball - this will create a lot more stability. But the biggest problem is that you are pushing long serves and also serving long, thus giving up the...

    It is not all about power. Speed is very important too, for eg Harimoto. Felix's topspin rally tempo is way faster than Alexis, and also Felix has better spin variation in serve/receive. When Felix becomes more muscular he will close the power gap fast, but speed is something that is very...
  4. ETTU European Championships 2024

    Alexis appears to have worked hard on his FH pendulum. It is very consistently short and low now. Previously it tended to drift long a bit too much which allowed his opponents to open up first. Also stopped serving a lot of his other serves like BH or lolipop serves to focus more on FH pendulum...

    Also Felix choked hard, he was leading so much at so many points in multiple games and became emotional and pissed away points easily after some lucky points by Duda and didnt adjust to Duda's variations.
  6. ETTU European Championships 2024

    Hahahaha yep, i watched the video and it was obvious he learnt some tricks there. Also with receive, he was receiving Felix's serves really well at the end which is really not easy to do because Felix has a lot of very tricky serve variations. Somehow he started turning things around when he...

    I have Butterfly Super anti on my BH on my backup blade now and will use it to cause some havoc, hahahaha
  8. Huge Delima, I play with both hands and not improving

    Sorry for hijacking your thread, but as a person who is ambidexterous I really think it is so cool to be able to play with both hands, and i couldnt resist to blast some of the haters. Personally I think 2) is suboptimal because the switching speed is way too slow for TT. 1) and 3) are not in...
  9. Ma Long INTENSE Table Tennis Training 2024!

    Damn he looks like he is 20 yrs old, so fast and smooth!! Barely makes any mistakes too even in very high difficulty shots like continuous BH counterlooping away from the table.
  10. Huge Delima, I play with both hands and not improving

    I do it all the time with an open palm with the left hand while holding the blade. It is not impossible and you have to be a bit creative with the grip. Yes it is possible if only you got some real incentives for eg like South Australia. The coal power plants eventually get retired if they...

    Reverse serves curve away from you not towards you. Check 12 mins on in this video:
  12. Huge Delima, I play with both hands and not improving

    Yes it is OK to play with 2 rackets in 2 hands, nothing stopping you except for a bunch of intolerant boomers (you can find them everywhere lol). Make an argument, dont be lazy. Lol it is not impossible - solar + batteries are literally the cheapest solution to replace all the coal power plants...

    I think you dont need to go against the spin when you change direction - the body can be used to change the direction easily. For eg you dont necessarily need to FH fade loop a reverse serve to their BH, you can still hook loop it to their BH, you just need to aim more to the right. Same with...
  14. Serve receive online training

    This video is excellent. Try guessing the spin before Craig touches the ball and see if you got it right. Personally i think the pendulum was quite deceptive but now I can tell the difference. Was able to tell his reverse easily because he used too much of a different bat angle. Hook serve...

    Pickleball is for old guys too... it was designed not to be physically strenous unlike a real sport like badminton or tennis. The interesting thing about TT is spin, and this is why I loved it despite all the bullshit. You can create serves which curve left, right, kick forward or even return...

    If humans stuck to convention all the time we would be still in the dark ages. It is precisely the 'disrespect' for tradition that have allowed us to progress to amazing modern tech and even the current state of society. Sorry but I dont subscribe to your thinking and I do quite dislike...
