Interesting. You are probably above my level, but I have also found that the types of balls I can do on a return board with forehand are too much restricted and that I really prefer to put more power into the ball and lower the arc while still loading it with spin. I am playing with hard tacky...

looks a little stiff, but I tried isolating movements to work on being more consistent ... its so hard man!

Yea, this comes back to the different types of approaches to learning table tennis with euro and chinese rubbers, which is a very interesting topic in terms of your relationship with your coach as well and something I am writing a separate post about right now since we have a bunch of hybrids on...

maybe you are not focused enough on keeping your ball low to the net

nope. they are some of the most durable shoes out there. a quick youtube review search will give you this information

I dont know anything about the models you mentioned. My experience with shoes are from sports in general and mostly gym, running generalist shoes, soccer and hiking shoes. This summer, I hiked 350 km in 12 days in the mountains, so I know a fair bit of the importance of using the right footwear...

I am kinda a shoe-nerd and I opted for barefoot shoes (Vivobarefoot Primus Light III) in the end. There are downsides to any shoe, but I have turned into a minimalist over the years. I believe this is the way to get optimal balance. Take note that it takes time to get the proper stregth in the...

I think this is solid advice, generally. I have seen the development go fast on other players in the club that did start with tensioned rubbers, but it will be exciting to see if they hit a plateau. However, the path I have allready taken is a different one, and I think its even more important...

his career

Thanks for the advice. I can see how the problems with blocking occurs, but not the thing about it promoting the overuse of the overarm. Would you mind explaining it a bit more? I recently changed blade from the slightly thinner, but very similar, Stiga Offensive Classic, which has even more...

Which backhand rubber do you think suits a 2-year adult beginner with Avalox P500 best? I like rubbers that are light weight with low throw angle and it has to be medium in hardness, as little catapult effect as possible. Here is my top 10 list: 1. Yasaka Mark V HPS 2. Nittaku fastarc C-1 3...

People seemed to like the original Stiga Mantra M for backhand for its allround performance

Andro Rasanter R42 seems like a good backhand rubber from what people write about it. Since I am using Mark V right now with a middle range speed offensive blade, I also prefer non-bouncy rubbers. I tried Nittaku Factive, but felt like it was "meh". Its cheap and light and people rate it as...

I'll throw one more rubber into the discussion: Xiom Vega Asia

I am looking for something like this for my backhand on the Avalox P500. I have almost concluded to use Donic Bluefire M2 as my next upgrade. This thread helps a lot. Currently using Yasaka Mark V on backhand. The backhand rubbers I have considered for my blade are Xiom Vega Pro and Yasaka...

Practice pretty and compete ugly

Here is video of me trying it for the first time :))

Idk. I thought my answer was the correct answer.

The principle is weight transfer from one leg to the other. At certain speeds and stresses, this will happen. Its like seeing a car driving offroad over bumps, at certain speeds the suspension will not be able to keep up. Stiffening the suspension is not always the right choice because that will...

I read this whole thread and I am just going to contribute that, when I was a competitor on the european level in e-sports (counter-strike), we all agreed that acceleration of the mouse movement should be turned off. At that time, windows had its own acceleration that needed to be turned off...
