Highlight point from ytd's training matches. I now focus on playing more games, unless I'm with the coach.

Good job for posting a video Archo. Nothing to be ashamed of, in fact, unless you have a coach, this is probably the best way you can get the best advice available. You mentioned you want to film every every game you play. Make it happen! Some of you might remember I made a thread about video...

Thanks NL, I think I get what you mean. I should probably be using a slower blade to develop my technique better. I do have a rosewood V so I can always go back on that. Although currently I am using Carbonado 145, when I last used the innerforce ZLC, I didn't have to adjust much from carbonado...

I used to use adhesive ones, until I am too lazy. When I use adhesive ones, I also have a pair of non-adhesive ones that I change them over to before I head to the venue, because who has time to peel adhesive ones slowly off and then put them back onto their non-adhesive cover nicely ;) I did...

My friend has a innerforce zlc penhold, so I will test it again when I see him next time. Another friend suggest that some people complain about it not being so good for smashes. Is that something you guys notice too?

Thanks Shuki, what is the difference in thickness? And how does it affect playing?

First hand signal: long or short Second hand signal: direction of spin But for casual matches, I only use second hand signal

Hi guys, So I was looking for a penhold version of this blade, but I couldn't find anything about this on the internet. I then went and messaged my table tennis supplier who then contacted Australia Butterfly to ask for me. He was told that Tiago Apolonia ZLC is just a rebranding of the...

Hahaha nice one, I am saving my haircut to closer to the comp, so my improved skill level can last throughout my comp :rolleyes: I didn't play any TT today either, but did some physical stuff for TT. That counts right?

A bit of a random question, is Tiago Apolonia ZLC available in penhold? I've always wanted to try a butterfly blade and that model seems quite attractive!

Thanks NL and OSP. Good serving advises! While I agree with NL's point of view that he rather give me feedback on my technical side rather than strategy, I appreciate OSP's advise as it is a reminder of what I should do. It is not something new, but it is something I cannot think of when...

Thanks Der_Echte. Very useful advise. I do like to stand in a BH orientated starting position, as I like to receive with backhand unless the serve is a short backspin one then I will step in and either chop or flip it. But now you have made me realised that my stance position for playing...

I like reading about these discussions, because often others can see what I cannot see in myself. I agree with the shorter stroke. I was really tense in the multi-ball, and the coach kept telling me to give it my best shot. Since I was lagging behind, I made the mistake of thinking a bigger...

Thanks Archo! I will keep that in mind the next time I do the multiball. When Iam tired, I think I try to compensate by bigger movement to still get the power,which actually doesn’t make sense. Thanks Shuki for the encouragement. Yeah the left leg is the lazy one haha, Iwill try work on...

A small fraction of the training yesterday.

Interesting to read about multiball duration, when I have had my second training with my coach. He definitely gives me multiball more than 1 min, usually when he stops is when he realises that I can no longer move.. which isn't that long due to my knee condition and being generally...

I had training with a coach yesterday along with my teammates in prep for the comp. We each get 20 min from the coach. The last few min of my time, he started giving me multi-ball of short and long forehand and backhands. I have never felt so out of breath before, to the point I was getting...

After the knee injury which I had 2 weeks ago, I came back to competing in a small tournament, an inter faculty tournament. Last year our faculty won easily, so I thought this year will probably the same and it will be a good warm up for me to get back into training. Nope. There was a guy who...

What is Samsonov's training routine like?

Probably have to skip another TT session today. I think after acupuncture, my vastus lateralis muscle is too sore. Like as if I have teared the muscle or worked it hard. I do not want to play again to prolong its recovery. Does anyone have any other strategy to make muscles heal faster apart...
