I'm not too worried about the smell. My wife knows i can be stinky when i play table tennis. Funny story, when we first started dating, she got a little jealous that i was going to the "ping pong club" every Tuesday and Sunday. She was all like "who is there? are there any pretty girls?". Then...

hey JJ, doesn't the H3NEO come preboosted? Do you think its best to try it right out the package first, then try and boost in a month or so ?

Honestly, I didn’t have enough time in between matches to cool down. I played two events in the morning, advanced in one so I was the single elimination during my only scheduled break. I think my longest break was 20 or 25 minutes due to a previous group taking a long time so there was a lag in...

Thank you so much! I appreciate the help and I learned a lot from you. I ended up losing 11-9 in the 5th game again lol. Brutal but I’m just glad I never got blown out in a single match. All of my 3 of my losses were in the 5th game, two of those being 11-9. One match I lost in four games. 13...

I was surprised my back actually felt pretty good all day (I had a serious back injury in 2018 from falling 17 feet…twice…while climbing up the bouldering section at my gym). It was my legs that were really toast by the end of the day. But if you were curious of how I did this: - lots of...

I defintiely need to work on that “medium” serve that has a good variation in spin but also lots of spin when needed. Still need to work on the placement of the half longs too.

More pimply than a teenager eating pizza and drinking mountain dew....wow!

Yeah! One of his major notes was that my serves still are not spinny enough. I am going to start practicing bed serves like you were talking about. he thinks if my serves get spinnier my rating is going to go up a lot. I also need a lot of practice of preparing for my third ball attack. and of...

Competed in a tournament yesterday for the first time in 6 months. Five events. Ended up advancing in 3 of my groups. In total, I played 18 matches from 930am-8pm. I estimate about 6 hours on the table (i only recall a handful of 15 minute breaks here and there). I had two come from behind...

This is the one i'm interested in...

I’m left handed but I play TT right handed. When I was a teenager I learned to play tennis right handed. No one would ever know I’m left handed lol. Too bad I can’t play left handed…with my right hand I’m 1500…with my left maybe 800 if I’m lucky. Play with the hand that is more natural. I...

My wife said I can't get a new robot until we buy a house :(

Definitely not 1300! At least not by Northern California standards. There is a guy at my club who plays exactly like Grandmaster's opponent and he's rated mid 800. he might be 900. I have hit with him and he can do an occasional rally with me. and block 2 of my loops in a row. anyways, i digress...

I'm jealous bro!! that's my dream robot.

0! lol. Hopefully he can make some improvements. That is the funny thing about this sport...lots just want to play for fun. I am like you where I want to improve as much as possible. Maybe it is because I hate losing more than I actually like winning. I am at 1500 USATT rating now...a lot of...

Nice reverse pendulum serve. Just curious, what level in the Ukrainian system would you rank your opponent in this match? To me, you have clearly outmatched this opponent, but, by my eye test, he does not seem to be rated very high. maybe 700 or 800 USATT

Thanks for the feedback. Definitely working on my recovery after serve. I am trying to practice it after every serve…makes serve practice a lot more tiring lol

our visitors from HK took a lot of losses last night :D Maybe JZ over-rated them?

I think the advice is to "generally" stay on your toes because it will naturally put your body in a more forward leaning position, which is optimal for blocking/driving/looping in most cases. That is not to say there are not some cases where you aren't going to be on your toes at the point of...

Tournament week!!! How do you all prepare for the week leading up to a tournament? I'll be playing tonight (RR), tomorrow (robot, and then RR), rest wednesday (but still practice serves), open play thursday, then robot / serves on friday. tournament on saturday. Going to drink a lot of water...
