Who is it with Bernie ?

I've just changed my setup I used to play with Korbel / FH T80 1.9mm / BH Spinart 2.1mm kept the same rubbers and i have the Acoustic Carbon Inner so maybe not the same than yours FH its really fantastic, same feeling and touch than Korbel but so much more power BH im struggling a bit, a bit...

@vrael did you hit the ball with them in Japan ? at UPTY ?

not easy but if you are sure that its topspin then what you should do is a block / flick because of BH serve there is also sidespin often in the equation. as always for short receive, step to the ball by putting your right leg below the table, upper body bent down. move the racket quickly to the...

is Adam Bobrow playing ?

Do you know P4match.com ? They organize some tournaments with a ranking system

I'm not sure you lost because of your mentality. I think you played positively and did a few nice shots at the end, notably some difficult BH However, you made too many mistakes, unforced errors especially on FH opener. Maybe you should consider trying to play more safely. a slower opening...

honestly OP can choose any style he wants, but he needs to understand why he wins or loses. Against the players of this level, when he goes away from the table he's easy to beat. I would think he would be more dangerous by staying in the table. If he moves 2x faster, and gets more power from BH...

any style is good if you can put 95%+ on the table...

practising 4days / week including a 1:1 coach session... +1 running session a week :-) I'm a TT fanatic LOL no genius here. I need a lot of hard training to get just a little better. slow learner, but ain't giving up ! won my first significant tournament after so many years in TT a few weeks ago !

yep so my own level is more around US 1900-2000 I believe and not around 2200, i didn't have the right conversion scale in mind.

in Japan, we seldom talk about a short push, the common word is "STOP" (receive - most often) the idea is against a short backspin / no-spin serve to keep the ball short. and the best way to do this, as Lula said is to take the ball early, almost at the bounce, very softly, with the body very...

actually my memory failed me i saw that info on that French forum https://forum.tennis-de-table.com/t/equivalence-classement-us/8948 it says 2000 in US is roughly around 1500-1600 points in France. from what I see in the video, it seems rather fair for OP. I agree with your analysis of OP's...

Regarding counterlooping FH, I believe this is not the kind of essential skill you need to get to 2200 level. Having stronger fundamentals is more important. Probably the main reason why you miss counterloop is because either your push is not good enough and/or you’re not back quickly in...

Hi I don’t know how old you are. I’m French and playing in Japan, I don’t know my US rating but from the equivalence table and videos I’ve seen i believe this is the kind of progression I made recently. In my 20s My best French rating was 1350 which is around 2000 US Then I dipped to...

Probably the pain is not coming from your blade but from bad technique If you don’t correct your technique whatever blade you use, your pain will get worse I would seek good professional coaching advice. One hour with a good coach is cheaper than a new setup or than hours at a hospital

@Lula yes he is a good player indeed, actually he is a professional coach and semipro player, he plays in Bundeslisga, his name is Kouda Hiraya, you can watch him if you Google him. He's just playing in fun mode with me so we can have a good game. my current form is a bit sloppy i cooled down...

Hi JeffM I think I’ve told you that before already but your main problem is that you don’t move enough and often stay still after playing one or two shots especially a fast one Can’t tell about your first two players but probably this one is stronger. You can see like at 3:28 or 3:50 he cannot...

https://youtu.be/pbUtQS8zUME Played today against Hiraya Kodai

hi. Saw the videos Not bad. If you want to improve, work on consistency and footwork. Serves are a bit high as well If your partners don’t want to drill, try to play those matches not with the aim of winning at all cost but of improving something like I want to make 3rd balls with my backhand I...
