  1. What rubber should i consider after playing with Rozena?

    Dignics . Or Zyre if you have the budget
  2. Why amateur players should avoid fast gear and where power really comes from in table tennis.

    I don’t think a super fast setup is recommended for beginners but if they are properly coached and play at least 3 times a week, they can get an OFF blade like inner carbon from the start and play with max rubbers like Rozena or T05 or Fastarc or K3 There is a merit playing with slower rubbers...

    No . Chire Koyama Congrats to Miwa. If it wasn’t obvious yet she’s the best Japanese player. Somehow Hayata could still get her until now but no more
  4. Video Footage Safe Thread

    I'm struggling a lot as well on 3rd ball. Whatever your level it will always be challenging and something you'll be working all your TT life. Its important to understand for 3rd ball attack and training that - serve is very important. If your serve is too low quality, you'll get difficult...

    Oya won in R1 match but lost in R2 0-3 . Yuji the YouTuber lost 0-3 in R1. His doubles partner Ozawa lost 2-3 to Kizukuri in R2 The most surprising result I’ve seen is Kenta Matsudaira losing 0-3 (-5 -6 -7) to an unknown guy called Hori playing for a Gifu local bank team.
  12. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    it can't be one and the other. either you get 20 in a row or you miss with edges before that. [ps I think you hit many edges because your grip is too closed you should open your wrist ] If you can reduce power to 60-70% and play 20 in a row then thats exactly the speed you should play in...
  13. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    You still don’t get it That’s why I’m repeating the simple message again Just put the fucking ball on the table. You currently can’t put 10 in a row even 5 is a struggle. Slow down until you do 10. If you need to think about your elbow to do 10 then think about your elbow if it’s about your...

    sorry buddy, i believe in capitalism. if something is free, you can't expect expert quality service. If you want real and actionable advice, you'd better spend your time with a paid coach than an online forum Otherwise, sorry i've spent enough of my time looking at some of your footage to have...
  15. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Worse than that. as you implement changes, you often get confused between your new style and old habits, thus temporarily results can get worse.
  16. Tips for Recovering a fast loop down the line?

    exactly. If you make a good quality shot, the opponent is taking a risk to make this down-the-line shot. If he still does make it with a high % then it means he is a good player and you can only applaud and try to be aware to cover this side more than usual. if you must block this shot, always...
