Yes maths can be useful for Table Tennis !

tell yourself the guy on the other side of the table is even more nervous than you

you could wear a helmet. TT is a dangerous sport

if you serve to his BH, serve long and fast, no-spin or topspin, you can make a variation with the placement, aiming for the far side of the table or aim for middle as well. try to topspin many balls, with a lot of spin

i agree, Victor has the best looking shots. But he really has a problem receiving the BH serve, whether is backspin (net miss) or knuckle (flick going over). I think there was not also enough variation (spin or placement) or quality ? in the first attack so that he got countered immediately way...

i've struggled a long time putting spin to my FH, i wasn't using (purposely)the wrist at all. Its something I've fixed finally in the last year and got an extra lvl of spin.

@NextLevel ofc if you can get the SP ball early and attack strongly its good, but OTOH, its less easy, you need to move fast, you have less time to execute, and less time to react if the ball is coming back again etc... IMO, the more important thing is to find out what works out for yourself...

1- valid against both SP and LP: don't try to take the ball too early. its easier to wait after the top of the bounce and the ball to go down (but not below the table) and spin it. so watch carefully the ball to time it correctly. It may help to go back half a step compared to your usual line if...

another day, another team, another tournament in Tokyo. it was a very exciting and exhausting day as we participated in the div2 tournament of our local league. we were a group of 6 teams, and i was the lowest ranked player of our team. We started at 9am to finish at nearly 6pm. our division...

played a team tournament today. group of 5 teams in division 5, we were 4 players. team finished 3rd 2W2L. logical result. personally played 2 doubles 1W1L, and 2 singles 1W1L my first tournament with my new (slower) setup. in singles, i played a veteran (70+ yo ?), with LP on his BH...

@Dan bad tactic indeed, you should have him play with the left hand, or a mobile phone... or long pips both sides !!!

in Japan, from junior high school (12+ yo kids) they have sports club for before and after classes. TT is very popular and all those clubs usually have good coaches. There are many other options as well for the richer as well as the poorer - and for the younger kids. Many TT schools, where you...
