    Franziska can take pride in his professionalism but if i was him I might let the umpire know that he has to do his job watching both players serves. TTR needs to be everywhere.

    Bringing your head closer to the ball on serves in critical moments should get you an automatic fault.

  5. Why amateur players should avoid fast gear and where power really comes from in table tennis.

    I have not fully bought into the argument against the ability to change your intentions based on short contact time. No one really changes it in the way described but what is an empirical observation is that the sixe and nature of the follow through tends to affect the shot being played. A...

  9. Why amateur players should avoid fast gear and where power really comes from in table tennis.

    I used to play like that so I know what Netprohet means. And my attempt to change my game a bit is what led to exactly what you are saying - using less slow stuff to improve the ability to block and play off the table.
  10. Why amateur players should avoid fast gear and where power really comes from in table tennis.

    The man masquerading as a child (my joke, not doubting his age, but he has been big for his age even as a kid)has been ready for this for a while but he has been unable to surpass Lin Shidong or dominate the juniors (lost to a Japanese prodigy at the last U19 and while he won the Asians, he has...

  14. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    The biggest thing IMHO that some are saying that is lost in translation is that you are trying to get good way too fast and in doing so trying to hit the ball hard before it is clear that you have mastered how you want to hit the ball. You might get somewhere good because you are already a...

  18. WTT Contender Muscat-2026 (19- 24 January 2026)

    I was going to make a bad joke about how Doo Hoi Kem has forgotten how to play combination players.... but more seriously, and only slightly more seriously, was Chen Yuanyu scared to be playing Fan Zhendong's teammate? Looked like it lol...
