I think people are missing the point, and trying to come up with arguments which are irrelevant here. Is there a coach who is better than a player in the top 10? No.... Of course not. So yes, coaches are often worse than their students (at a high level). But that isn't the point. Why do...

What if we added a video link to our profile page? The only thing we’d need would be some form of “verification” - Like you have “equipment experts” for example - Something quick and easy to tell people that you have a verified video, and they can look at it if they wish.

I think basic forehand to forehand and back hand to back hand would be a start - You can usually tell a fair amount from someone by looking at this. Appreciate training and match play are very different - But you’ll never cover all basis.

I’d say each user should be able to have one video of themselves playing - So when people click on their profile, they can see the standard of the person giving advice.

Controversial opinion alert...... I don’t think anyone should ask for advice specific to their game (that part is important), without providing video footage. Likewise, I don’t think people should give advice, without providing video footage of their own game. We we all have smart phones...

Hey Sarvo. Nice video! It was probably a little long without any talking going on (explaining what you were feeling etc) - But it was well put together! Do you do a written write up as well? I find that pretty much anything can look the same in a video most of the time. Its hard to to tell...

To add to what Carl has said, I'd also ask why you are changing? It sounds like cost is a factor? If so, that makes things a little different to just "an alternative".

As part of my order with www.ttequipment.co.uk I picked up a sheet of Double Fish 8338 2.1mm Black - Note: The blade was a Yinhe T7s, which is rated as Off-. I’ve been on the look out to try and find something that is usable for all levels of players at the clubs I play at - Most of whom don’t...

I recently received an order from a relatively new Table Tennis shop in the UK (www.ttequipment.co.uk), and after chatting with Dean on the forum, I decided to get some of the new Double Fish (DF) rubbers he was going to start stocking. The order I received was: Blade - Yinhe T7s (used in...

My goal is to give up the hobby of fishing...... Despite it being fun, it's not conducive to wins! My plan this season is to attack, counter, and stay a metre or so away from the table - No more. The times I've dropped back with MX-S these past weeks, I've ended up producing a nothing shot due...

Hey NL! How's it going? You must know something about my financial situation that I don't haha! On the backhand? Possibly..... On the forehand..... Only if MX-S doesn't last as long (and it becomes a false economy). Tenergy costs me £56. MX-S costs me £34 - It's just too much of a saving to...

Hi @Xaoc, With the MX-S rubbers on, it weighs 188 grams - Not sure what the blade alone is (I'll weigh it next time I change rubbers). The handle is a good width for a bigger person, but it is also longer than normal (but not too long). When I used the TB ALC after playing with the VSU, the...

Good thinking Carl - I think myself, and my team mates could all benefit from these little drills (rather than 100% match play). It's a shame the US doesn't have a similar league structure to the UK (which I think works well). I know we have the same convo every few years haha!

Yeah, I've used it and I liked it - I may end up switching to it when this is dead, but I'll be damned if I'm doing it now! I'll see if I can grow to like it - But EL-S is definitely on my radar (I've set up a few bats with this for some guys at the club and I like it).

Measured as always Carl! I don't mind people offering feedback - Even those who might play at a lower level. I'm comfortable enough in my own ability to know what's right, and what I could improve on. If you ask any of my team mates, it's always "Take the ball earlier.... Stop dropping...

Videoing yourself is really useful for seeing little things - I'll certainly be more conscious of weight transfer and taking the ball a little earlier in future!

The higher up the ranks you go, the more spin and placement take over from power - As I'm sure you are aware. It's one of the great joys of internet forums - Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but as we see all too often, people can give inaccurate assessments, which to a player looking to...

We can agree to disagree on that one - I think there is absolutely a different technique required - It's not as dramatic as some make out, but it's certainly different. There will always be exceptions to the rule, and professional players will be able to handle anything. However, until I see...

Hey Fanz - I think your opinion possibly comes from playing with Chinese rubbers, which requires a different stroke altogether. I also think a lot of amateur players on the forums try and play with H3, or see their idols (the CNT), play with H3, with their specific style, and try and emulate...

Weekends are hard for me - I played much more than I had intended last year. Plus..... 2 whole days for only 8 matches! Eurgh......
