  1. How to return the hook serve if I can’t see the contact point

    Watch the contact point and racket angle not the follow through. With serves like the hook serve or tomahawk, too many people watch the follow through (especially when the serve is hidden) and miss the contact point. You have to hit the side bottom of the ball to get heavy backspin but you can...

    By all means, improve your strokes, even players with perfect strokes need to work on improving their strokes. You have the problem statement laid out, you want to be able to attack more balls with your forehand. I am just saying that don't make this about how the stroke "looks" but figure out...

    It's often a mistake to compare strokes unless you have something very specific related to the stroke in mind. Different physical builds, different sources of strength, different focuses on balancing two-winged play etc. all affect the stroke. I would encourage you to just see whether your...

    In reality,, Lily outperformed and won a game. Given her struggles against choppers, the expected result was 3-0 so winning a game was huge for her and well above expectations.

    I liked the video but there is nothing special here, this is forehand topspin vs backspin 101, the student just missed a major lesson in his initial lessons to loop backspin. When looping backspin, it is important to fight the rotation of the ball and this is where the wrist is extremely...
  6. How does one become a training partner for national team members?

    Tony was joking, it is almost impossible to blast the ball past a pro if you are drilling with them, so he was saying that if you can even do it, they will be impressed. But I know your main point is that your power is not going to impress pros, it is your ability to control the ball and keep...
  7. How does one become a training partner for national team members?

    This is true at all levels of play, especially those that are above USATT 1800. But for some reason, aspiring players don't understand you don't impress better players with your power, you impress them with your control, accuracy and precision.

    Also, looks like his Tibhar issues are over, wonder whether he changed rubbers or it was just a matter of time.

    Miwa's tactical play and quality too good for Hashimoto. Not going to lose to her anytime soon.
  11. WTT Star Contender Chennai-2025

    This is common sense and I said some of the things you said, but when someone cites doubles ranking as a way to support an argument that a team is not that strong, and gets his argument totally destroyed by actual results, he should at least be able to say that he was wrong. I would. The...

    Ir is really funny how people make all kinds of noise and then when their theories are completely shown to be nonsense, they go silent and don't even admit anything that shows they have eaten some humble pie.

    Nah, doubles is almost that matters and combining with Alexis is the key. The experts have said so.

    Overrated Shin beats Nagasaki.

    The men's side is too crowded. I argued that Gauzy will have a hard time playing in LA 2028 with Poret and Coton coming up and the expert said I had no clue what I was talking about and that France doesn't develop good players as quickly as the Chinese. While there is room to stumble, I hope...

    Hashimoto has beaten everyone that is not Chinese and none of these players are stronger against defence than Hayata. She has a chance.
  19. French NTTC-2025 (Championnat de France de tennis de table)

    Poret and Coton win again, beating players that Gauzy would have a tough time beating. Oh well...

    They don't play together often. They win almost every event they play together. Do better. Lim usually plays with Jang.
