  6. My table tennis doesn't seem to be improving.

    if you don't improve its because you don't train properly. Ask yourself how you spend your time in your session (and outside). progress is not proportional to the time spent at the club.

I think what most people forget, is simply that because inverted is the most popular setup, there are tons of resources to learn the correct technique with it, and many players or coaches can teach you. However a lot of the pips players at amateur levels...
