I don't know just how un-spinny (real word?) your rubbers are. If they are like the pre made bats you get here in the UK - You'll always struggle to consistently produce a nice top spin loop - Even with perfect form. But in theory, if the rubbers aren't "THAT" bad, then yes, slightly more down...

If you are using bad pre made bats, your stroke is fine - You'll struggle to get a decent top spin loop with those pre made bats (hence the harder hitting motion you were doing). Lets say you were using a better set up.... You would want to accelerate through the shot at a higher angle - Your...

Don't apologise, it's good to get an insight into people and why they post etc. I had coaching from the age of 12-17 - Then stopped played pretty much for the past 10 years (I had 1 season in 2010/11), and have just finished my first season back, having started again in July last year. I've...

It's not aimed at anyone specific NL - But I've seen people criticised for expressing their opinion, when they perhaps don't have perfect technique themselves. All I'm saying is.... I haven't seen anyone on here with perfect technique - We all perhaps "know" what to do, and what not to do, but...

Love it! The primal scream makes it so much better!

Hey Archosaurus, thanks for sharing! It's always hard to get a good feel for how someone plays from a snippet of video (especially when it's side on and not great quality). I'd say your technique is pretty sound - The ball sounds very "dead" when it's hit, which is possibly the film quality -...

Disagree mate. Completely up to you of course, but if you want to sell it, you'll need to provide pics - Even on eBay. No one is going to buy something without seeing it - For all they know it might be a fake. You haven't even said what shape handle it is. Not trying to be difficult, just...

Yeah, the SJMZLC get's fantastic reviews, and is used by a few members at my club (along with the standard JMZLC). I actually prefer the ZJSZLC colour and design - But the playing reviews aren't great!

Kukamonga is absolutely right - You should use a set up which is relevant to your skill level.... Which is why he is rightfully using a knock off, cheap bit of wood......;) Rajaloopah - That is a nice looking bat you have there! It's not too quick for anyone! Look good.... Feel good..... Play...

ah ok! Garaydia is going well - will take some getting used to after playing with the Schlager for so long! Have you used the Schlager much yet?

Is your blade varnished? If so, you'll struggle to get it to stick perfectly.

Hi Corri, Are you building a collection of black tag butterfly blades? How many have you got now?

ITTF Rule 3.05.02.01 - Players and coaches or other advisers shall refrain from behaviour that may unfairly affect an opponent, offend spectators or bring the sport into disrepute, such as abusive language, deliberately breaking the ball or hitting it out of the playing area, kicking the table...

I love a good foot stomp on service! It can help with masking the spin at times. As for the "oh shit" after you've played a bad shot, and they have had time to hit the ball, personally, I think that's wrong. If they then miss the easy kill, you just open yourself to the possibility of the...

I was going to go on Sunday, but it's our county champs! Seems this weekend is the time for every championship in the world!

Yeah Dan is very good - He's beaten some top people this year. Came close (lost 3-1, but tough sets), against a guy ranked 100 in the UK (top 10 in the UK for over 40 age group). I made him that for his Table Tennis CV!

If that's your thing Carl (I won't take it personally..... ;)) - This is just for you!

I understand what you are saying, but unless I was asked to critique a performance, or give my opinion in any way shape or form (on either a person, or the match in general), I still find watching full matches (especially non pro matches) very tiresome. They both serve their purpose - You...

Hi NL, I wasn't tailoring the video for you personally ;) I'm not looking for advice either, it's more just trying to provide a bit of entertainment for the people on the forum. I'll be honest, if I had to sit through 10/15 mins of a boring match with the occasional good shot/rally.... I'd be...

You must have some really good videos hidden away somewhere then...... Cause based on the performance in your last video, you couldn't even beat the bald chap! ;)
