It's really a combination of a lot of factors. But the foundation is simply that Table Tennis is a massive sport in France. There are 3114 clubs of which 41 have professional teams.

In a 1h radius from where I live, a sub-average (population wise) rural department in France, but with good access. We have on a yearly bases 14 team matches (15 if you count play-offs) 4 individual competition days and a 5th if you qualify for the finals 1 departmental competition based on...

France has what you're looking for, quite sure Germany does too.

I think sabine has more than succeeded. Her intention was to prolong her career because she could not be competitive with the inverted backhand anymore. And now instead of prolonging she’s actually managed to get to career best in what was supposed to be the “Winter” (autumn) of her career.

If he’s old and not very mobile then you could always go for the tactic “long slow with arc”. It’ll force him to either move or to take risks

Good read this topic. Thanks! I, like many others, have been on this route with fast equipment a little too soon. What I noticed was that when playing people that create little to no spin like children and your average beginner (also anti and pimples) it is very easy for them to make you lose...

If you are in Sweden you should be able to find a proper club. First of all, if you play with purpose you will progress. So that’s good! About pairing shots, it’s a very basic tactic that’s used all over. If I were you I’d just ask my club mates to do some basic schemes before every match.

Great! Going to try this soon.

You basically need to do a side step and commit to either FH or BH. I’d say if it’s classic pendulum you should play BH and if it’s reverse pendulum (or scoop, tomahawk or BH serve) it’s probably easier to go for a FH. Also check the latest video of PechPong it’s 10 minutes on serve receive...

Wow I don’t know man but your setup is super fast like it is… If you want faster take Zyre03

Ah yes I’m still quite happy with my Sandberg VM 2007 4-string bass. Probably one of two pastime activities I do better than table tennis

Fatigue might stop him though… 7 sets high intensity for Harimoto, nothing for Truls

Choking and then coming back from that in a match is a quality on its own!

A health professional is the only person who can assess your health problems. These wristbands are probably indeed to provide some support. There is a big difference between them and us though.. they play for their livelihood and they play a lot. They also have physiotherapist etc.

Not being able to keep up with youngsters that train more and better than you is totally normal. You’d need individual training to get somewhat close to their progression

Same here

Your points 1, 2, 4, and 5 are good. A good technique to get to your neutral position is a little jump with both feet. You should almost never be just waiting passively

For me the best serves are the ones where I can most easily anticipate the receive, or where I know what my plan is. Add to that a little uncertainty about placement and some slight deception in spin. Which one ? Don’t really care actually. As long as I can do all spin variations and all...

You had me laughing out loud at 6.30 this morning just before my league match.. best performance of my career since I restarted. Annette deserved herself a new fan.

Sometimes it’s definitely smart to play hard
