thanks for the links, i will check them. I was indeed in a rush to finish the point quickly. Thats the way i like to play, but I would'nt say I am generally afraid of rallies. Its just I thought that player was better than me overall and in rallies, and that i should try to take as much risk as...

I'd like to play "macho" game, attack and finish the point quickly. stay at the table, i don't like to move too far back. but in a sense I'm allround, i can block, even chop rather well (i used to do it a lot in training but its not consistent enough so i don't try it in games, but i often fish...

I have been playing for far too long, over 20 years... in the earlier years, i would play fast flat serve + hit flat as quickly as possible, i couldn't do much with my BH. but i was moving rather well. I've been taking lessons with private coaches weekly for 3 years now. Of course, i think i...

Hi Here is the vid of my last match in this week's local tournament. I lost 0-3, but i think i fought well. However, its not enough, i'm a bit tired of losing... I think the #1 reason is i really have to improve my serve game. i let you tell me the rest...

Kishikawa lost... it was a very exciting match, but MATSUSHITA was shouting crazy on everypoint he won, the bastard. I know it because i was watching live, in the stadium !!! :D. Other upsets today, include Oshima losing to Kasahara, and in womens, the crowd favourite Fukuhara losing to Maeda

Kenta MATSUDAIRA got knocked out by a lower rank player for his first game. I think thats the only upset. All the big favourites for mens and ladies are there. Best 32 take place tomorrow

You have to train your mind... to get those psychic powers...

I fight for everyball and always go for nets and edge balls. Actually net balls, I believe i can get them 80% of the time. Edge balls are much more difficult. To get them in games, you've got to train yourself to do it, and the simplest thing to do is to try to get them all when practising...

ideally, if the (backspin) ball is long, you should attack it with topspin. if its short push it back. if its half long, its more tricky but better to topspin it. i think you should improve your pushing technique its a bit boring, but thats fundamentals. take the ball just before the top of...

Hi Shuki, i agree with NextLevel overall analysis. You should relax much much more. FH topspin technique: the angle is a bit tricky, but i also feel your timing is a touch late, this is why you end up missing the ball so many times. BH technique: against backspin, its on the table, but you're...

To make a good long push on a short ball, you have to hit the ball in the ascending phase, just before the top of the bounce. move your body to the ball, contact the ball under with a very slight move of the wrist. Your hand should be relaxed, no need to make a big stroke, else the balls flies...
