  1. Recent match I played.

    It's one of the most devastating shots in the game, keep working on it you definitely have something good going on there!
  2. Is body type giving any form of advantage?

    Zhu Yi is well known as one of the highest level amateur and he is fat and unfit lol
  3. Is body type giving any form of advantage?

    Not just that, big guys simply hit harder because TT is all about weight transfer, and they simply have more mass to transfer momentum to the ball - so they can produce a heavier ball (assuming equal technique). TT is very inclusive in that different body types can all excel in it, unlike some...
  4. Is body type giving any form of advantage?

    On the subject of athleticism, unfortunately I too have to say that I've seen way too many unathletic ppl with ugly strokes (usually old guys) who just win with tricks and crazy ball feeling (which is unfortunately unobtainable without massive amounts of hours at the table). And the old...
  5. Technique advice for me

    For me the triangle principle helped me a lot - basically I will always move my right leg to maintain a good triangle (two sides being my arms, the other side is my body, ball is one of the points) during warmups, and stick my butt out lol. Some leaning is probably unavoidable especially against...
  6. Is body type giving any form of advantage?

    All of them don't look like top level TT players lol, the best TT players have thiccc legs xD
  7. Developing player with some potential :)

    Sure. I won't participate in your thread anymore. Good luck in your improvement endeavours.
  8. Developing player with some potential :)

    If you film yourself and put it out on the internet you have to develop a thicker skin lol 😂 But Ti Long (the guy in the video) is a very well respected coach and a professional player. Just give the exercises in the video a try - you don't necessarily need a robot for it. It's easy and I...
  9. Developing player with some potential :)

    From this reply it appears that you haven't really understood the video and what it is trying to teach. Maybe just go through the exercise in the video and film it for comparison purposes.
  10. Developing player with some potential :)

    Yeah, maybe it's worded not so well but i think the point was that zouless would probably find it easier as a beginner to start this exercise with light backspin not heavy af backspin. With heavier backspin the ball reacts too strongly with the racket causing this method to lose control...
  11. Developing player with some potential :)

    Hmm I didn't consider that before - you're right it probably needs to be quite light backspin to start with. With heavier backspin you absolutely need to involve all the other mechanisms (especially from the body)
  12. Chat GPT in table tennis

    LOL - I think ChatGPT is reading too many TT forums
  13. Developing player with some potential :)

    Yes - the reason why finger driven forearm supination/pronation is very important on both wings because it essentially allows the racket to move in such a manner (to neutralise incoming spin and produce your own topspin). But that is just the spin neutralising part - to get real quality (read...
  14. Developing player with some potential :)

    I think based on the FH against backspin training video and how his racket is moving, @zoulless doesn't really understand how to convert the incoming backspin to a topspin stroke. The reason why he's moving everything hard (including upper arm) is because he's trying to brute force loop it -...
  15. Technique advice for me

    Yes, when the proper use of the body is made available, a physically strong body like dingyibvs pays a lot of dividends. He's worked hard in the gym and it shows in his shot quality. I've been slacking a lot in my gym training recently and this is kinda inspirational.
  16. Technique advice for me

    Damn this is already like Fan Zhendong level power omg.... It's looking really incredible and I wouldn't want to block any of these monster loops haha. One tip to shorten the backswing time even further (this has many advantages especially against faster balls) - make your elbow closer to the...
  17. FZD - will he rise to the top?

    Question: Did the OP jinx Fan Zhendong lol....
  18. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Sure, maybe one day when I'm feeling like it...
  19. Forehand rubber recommendations

    Hurricane 8-80 (38 deg) is one of the FH rubbers everyone has been sleeping on - it's super cheap (I think I got mine for 40 AUD?), has good catapult with good tack, extremely spinny when looping, bouncy enough to handle mid distance looping, super good at serve/receive thanks to the tack, not...
  20. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I had experimented with at least 10 different ways of using the wrist on the BH and I settled on pure supination driven by thumb pressure as the easiest way to produce a lot of topspin which also doesn't hurt the wrist. But regardless of the method used yes the racket pointing backwards during...
