we're making the JPG TTT here

i think ice cream and beer killed Kishikawa, he is too fat

I gave up practising that reverse serve. i've tried to work on it quite a lot, i don't get it. I can't manage to give enough speed to the ball. I've not filmed myself, but i think you suffer a bit the same thing. your serves are spinny, short and a bit low which is great, but looks to me there...

arffff just played once TT in the last 10 days (cause i'm away from Tokyo) i'm getting impatient to play again, 'tis really hard....

yes you are right. its not a flat hit but our little debate is of little meaning, actually pro players almost never flat hit a ball. what matters is that he hits the ball as hard as he could on this shot and there is lot of horizontal speed. the axis of his move is his shoulder, he uses his full...

its difficult to tell the amount of spin on Freitas last ball, its difficult to judge that for any ball on TV especially with only one angle, but based on my feeling only, we see Ouaiche chopping hard the ball before, and it looks like Freitas, at the end of this long rally is playing his last...

RTF i posted a link above from nittaku with shop adresses http://www.nittaku.com/place/list.php?id=13 the place near Yoyogi is Karahashi http://yoyogi.karahashi.com/ there is a place near Shibuya Kokusai Takkyu http://www.kokusaitakkyu.com/html/newpage.html?code=3 in the Bic Camera department...

I myself often play at Minato Sports Center, you can try to PM me, we can always hit a few balls and i could introduce you to some players

there is a (non exhaustive) list of places to play TT seriously ; buy TT goods and take TT coaching lessons all across Japan on Nittaku official site here http://www.nittaku.com/place/ but its in Japanese of course

Improve again, my goal is to win a local tournament here one day, i hope i'll get closer to it this year. maintain a relatively good level of fitness to be still able to move fast and playing an attacking game at the table. pivoting is becoming harder and harder but i hope i can still do it...

there are some rush hours like wednesday and thursday evenings, or weekend afternoons. during rush hours, there is usually some guy responsible for the TT room and they would make sure to arrange things orderly and would find a partner for you or even play with you. Tables are booked for 1 hour...

i already posted an answer in another thread https://www.tabletennisdaily.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?14449-Famous-table-tennis-clubs-in-tokyo&highlight=tokyo the meetup is filled with beginners only and they sometimes gather in non-central places

if you download the Butterfly app; they have some exercices for physical training

personally i try to have a 50 minute run once a week. I was never really good at running, and i hate it, but keeping me fit for my health and for TT is enough motivation for me. i know it would be better to have 2 runs per week, even adding a shorter run, or better, a session with fractioned...

well i had never heard any good advice on fishing before that's why i was doing it the wrong way, i still need a lot of practice obviously but now at least i know a bit better what i should try to do before i was trying too much to focus mainly on lobbing the ball as high as possible and i was...

I am passing the new year in a middle sized town here in Japan, but i prepared well my trip and found a place with a coach with whom i spent 2 hours playing for the last time this year :-) Because that place has a high ceiling (contrarily to where i play in Tokyo with my regular coaches), and...

I don't like Ouaiche 's style but amazingly he has managed to become a French National Champion when he was a huge underdog. However i don't think he can win more important titles playing the way he is now

i am not so impressed by the last BH, it is a nice way to win the point but i am way more impressed by all the difficult lobbing left and right with a lot of travelling, without losing his balance, by the defense chop in the middle of the rally. its not easy at all to get the right touch after...

i think the 1st guy in question was better level than me. i played above my average level this day, and i came back with my serves only. then as i came back he started to panic...as it was the last set. he was still young so a bit fragile mentally. for the guy with anti rubber our level was...
