If you and the opponent are right handed the spin will make the ball drift to your left side and favor a loop or backhand flick with sidespin while you can go with the spin and hence have less reaction to the incoming skin. You would use your wide serve receive stance or step out a little with...

Ok, we are having different expectations here. I expect the topic to resolve around somebody actually wanting to get better and not stay in the current state and just win as much as possible. Great if somebody counter loops the ball, then you are able to learn how to cope with that and in time...

which is pointless if we are talking about getting better. You don't become a better player when your shots dont get returned and you remove the possibility to learn to actually have a rally with the opponent. Having the ball come back and reacting to that is much more helpful for the progress...

I had sealed a blade with a special sealer by spinfactory and after glueing and removing a rubber i also got lines of the wooden fibre detach from the blade. it seemed like the sealer actually made the wood softer.

i am surely not qualified as a coach, but i can tell a few common mistakes from the club i am member in and what i do see in youth players that are about the same age range like described in the original post. From what i have wittnessed the approach of our youth coach (which basically consists...

i would not get a Mark V. It is outdated and hard to play especially without technique and physique. Go for the Vega Europe if you still want the rubber to do something for you. If you dont want that you can go for the Vega Intro which has less tensor effect and is more controllable. perhaps...

it's not about the toss height, but the toss has to start from above the table. So resting hand -> then toss move has to be both above table level and his toss move starts below table level.

This might also be a point. Lately it has been gotten quite warm in germany (more than 30 degrees celsius), so that might have changed the behaviour of the rubber

if i read vossi39's remark correctly, only before "breaking in" the bluegrip J-line was having more lower gears which made it more controllable and now these properties are gone. That would mirror my experiences with many rubbers that might feel slightly more controlled than similar hardness...

Rakza Z -> Rakza Z EH you gain quite some power/speed Spin is slightly higher passive bounce of the rubber is less/lower, so its more controlled in pushes/touch game throw angle a little lower (than regular Z) but still high remember the topsheet is the same and only the sponge changes.

This is also very true. Having a coach feed you in regular exercises may make you look awesome, because he really places the ball where it needs to be for you to perform. If i do the same exercise with a player even two or three levels below i perform way worse or rather it shows that it is more...

I just watched a video about "beginner mistakes" and there was a very interesting statement which went like this "Your level is not based on who you beat, but who you lose to". So you might have an odd style or a very specific strength that might lead you to compete against better players, but...

Didn't we already establish that ChatGPT is not able to analyze table tennis videos properly and will just parrot back comments it read that were target at other tabletennis videos ? i am pretty sure that most AIs will not be able to analyze video at all, especially not something specific like...

i dont want to curb your enthusiasm, but the flaw to not be able to predict where your opponent will play will not be learned by using a robot. With the robot you can perhaps improve your reaction to unexpected balls, but predicting where your opponent plays has much more to do with how the...

i think it is hard to judge if the ball contact is not shown. you seem to properly go down before the stroke. i dont think it is an issue to target the middle/elbow on the open up, if it is deliberate of course. funnily had a similar session today and placed the camera at the right side corner...

You would actually reverse engineer your tactics by using your strongest strokes as target. So if you are very good finishing a point with your backhand by smashing it, what are the two or three strokes that most often lead to that situation ? i.e. If you like to banana flick wide to the...

dude, whatever you are searching for, this rubber is not it. It is unremarkable in every aspect. Not sticky, not really a hybrid, just a mild tensor in 53°. There are tons of rubbers with that hardness probably play alike.

And you think it's all the blade and not the fact that this dude probably took very good care about how to boost the rubbers and change the rubbers frequently too keep the top notch performance? Without you using your rubbers on it, I would not give too much about these experiences.

I don't know the TTD forum rules by heart, but basically in any forum there is the rule "first search the forum for your topic before you open a new topic". This is a general and smart forum rule and FrenchFrog has to live with people reacting offended if he is too lazy to search the forum and...
