Your topspins look good especially FH. Bh is a bit too much upwards brushing and not enough drive imo - which will cause quite a lot of error prone thin brush contacts. I suspect it is because you haven't figured out how to use the fingers to brush the ball. Once you have that you can go...

With this, you'll be screwed if your opponent serves long backspin and short topspin serves all day long....

I usually like to FH flick the ball down to their middle or deep BH from this position. The other good thing to do is to do a deep tomahawk style spinny push or sideswipe to the same placements. If they prove they can deal with these well then you can do deep pushes to their wide FH or return it...

Vega pro sucks lol, if you really want to get into the real crazy spin loops you need to go to Dignics or boosted Hurricane, they will make you a king of spin. And 5ply wood sucks too, just get some innerforce blade and learn to control it. You'll get a lot more oomph in your shots. The other...

Same here except I never really adjusted lol. My ankles just hurt the day after...

It also depends a lot on the head size and shape. Certain shapes like Cybershape have a lot more area at the blade tip (which translates to rubber mass too as the rubbers will be attached), which results in the balance point leaning much more towards the tip.

Maybe you just subconsciously trust the BH punch. It's not a bad strategy by any means if you're consistent with it. For me I almost never punch or flathit the ball for the most part because I subconsciously view it as a risky shot and I generally hate missing.

It doesn't really matter because they're not even close to being a major player in the world of TT....

Lol I discovered it the hard way too... yes you have to lift your knees before you push off the other foot. You also can't directly push sideways with both foot (normally the more efficient way), it has to be one foot on the ground and the other one in the air....

Played at a new venue today with ultra sticky floors that had way too much grip. Coupled with my newish butterfly shoes I almost couldn't lift my shoe off the floor with any kind of sideways movement - wtf lol. My footwork was a complete mess ugh. Next time I'm in that venue imma gonna wear my...

It's always not so easy to attack when the opponent is actively trying to disrupt you with spin/rhythm/placement variations. During training obviously your partner will give you exactly what you want (unless they're the kind of assholes I encounter on a regular basis). What helped me is trying...

Hahaah his physics model is wrong and he still thinks it is correct. You definitely get a lot more spin out of Dignics than sandpaper for eg... but he insists that "Surface doesn't matter" lol

Unfortunately it's a lot of trial and error. Tbh this is one of the most important aspects of a blade.

Damn Xu Xin played so well this time, he even nearly won against Xu Yingbin the rising star! Those hook serves look mighty nasty and his RPB didn't miss a lot. Xu Yingbin had to dig really deep (and get a lot of lucky balls) to win.

Why not learn other BH serves like BH tomahawk (Kong Linghui style) and BH pure underspin/no spin, etc... if you can make the preparatory movements the same it can be devastating. I think Coach Meng from WRM had quite a few tutorials on these serves. I'm the opposite to you, my BH serve is a...

I finally figured out how to do a fade version of the chiquita (with the opposite sidespin)... woohoo!

Some ppl are kinda gifted at that. Harimoto also does a lot of it in his younger days and it is a really deadly shot. But it requires some really accurate reads of the ball spin and trajectory, and if the looper is actively varying placements and spin and rhythm, it's really not as easy as it...

I actually played a high level young junior girl recently, it was jaw dropping how fast their countering and footwork is. I counted my % win in topspin rallies and it was like 20-30% ouch, even when I'm a lot spinnier and powerful. I remember one ball where I completely feinted her to the BH...

For me I always focus on my own technical progression (jk1980 has an excellent idea about the progression), winning or losing is part of the game, and if I progress enough the players I lost to would slowly be out of my range anyway. It's not like it's a World Championship match ffs....
