  1. table tennis tips "Increase Spin in table tennis by Chinese coaching"

    This really depends on the person, what level they are at and what changes are being made. I agree but as I said if you're critical about what you choose to apply then you won't be making this mistake.
  2. table tennis tips "Increase Spin in table tennis by Chinese coaching"

    All you need to do really if you don't trust the credibility of that person or know their skill level is to take what they're saying with a pinch of salt. You can also compare to what other coaches have said e.g. the thumb and index finger tip seems to be a good one as many others have said the...

    I'm a leftie and have had a few people "complain".. ironically I also prefer to not play other lefties in league games :P. Also get the occasional one who doesn't realize I'm a leftie until several sets or the games over and go "ohh so that's why.." I've also noticed that the people who have...

  5. Liu Shiwen offered $1million!!

    Funnily enough I read/heard somewhere that Zhang Jike's dad wanted him to stop playing football and to start playing table tennis because there was more money in it. Can't remember where I got it from or whether it's true though.

    Ah, makes sense :). Well if we have time over on the Saturday we could play a bit! Pretty sure you're a lot better, but I've taken players in the top 150 to 5 so I'll hopefully be able to put up a little bit of a fight ;).

    It's the first tournament I'll be entering other than BUCS so I don't know. Think we're only entering the banded tournament on the Saturday.

    I might be going to Bath grandprix with a friend. Maybe I will see you there? :)
  9. Can European players compete with the Chinese?

    I think he's talking about players of this generation (although maze is out now) against the the Chinese players of this generation. I don't see where you're getting it from that he's putting maze in the same category as waldner? But the point of talking about those that do trouble the Chinese...

    It seemed like everything just lined up perfectly and as they were saying when they played, they were just in the zone and everything felt easy, like they couldn't miss. I get goosebumps every time I watch those parts. I can only imagine how they felt at the time, must've felt absolutely unreal.

    Speaking of the Swedes beating China 5-0. I rewatched the documentary "Bragden" (the feat) of the time they did this and how they did it for probably the 5th or 6th time last night. Unfortunately the translation isn't the best but I highly recommend people to watch it! I just think it's brilliant.

    I obviously know that you wouldn't actually want to do that haha. From the looks of things it seems to be getting to you quite a bit, hence that comment. I'm very relaxed, you're the one that's letting this kid choing get to you way too much, in my opinion :). As I said, I agree with you. The...

    While I don't like the choing at all and wished he didn't do it I think you guys are being a bit harsh. From what I've seen he doesn't cho on nets or edges and is generally respectful. I doubt he chos out of disrespect for his opponent even if it might seem like that. Again, I don't like it and...

  16. Hello from Sunny Somerset

    I see you are also close to Taunton and Bridgewater which both have local leagues. I visit taunton occasionally to visit my grandparents and play at the club there :). Check out https://www.tabletennis365.com/Taunton/ for more info if you're wanting to play there.

    For sure, around this time last year I got my current equipment. I literally could not sleep because I wanted to play so much. I don't think I've ever felt like that for any sport before, its gotta be true love. And I can't really play until I'm back in the UK now and I'm itching to play!

    You are just too generous!

    I'm too happy with my current blade to want to change haha. I probably need a new backhand and forehand rubber soon, but I will probably just go for the same ones.. a new backhand rubber would be the one up for debate.

    On second thought I'd rather let someone else have one of those first price blades because after looking them up, it's unlikely I'll use either of them. It'd probably end up just collecting dust on my shelf and eventually I'd have to sell it, which I'd rather not do. I'd prefer either of the...
