This is what happens on the ATP tour currently btw. You beat Roger Federer or Rafa Nadal, lose in the next round, you get exactly the same impact on your ranking as if you beat any other two players.

This would have capped my game at maybe 1500. It's much better to explain to the adult like a long pips player once told me that you will improve your touch and your spin read as you play more and more and these are the things that are most susceptible to experience and practice.

A lot of this depends on how you play, how much you practice and what your strengths and weaknesses are. The one thing I will say is that the plastic ball is place a higher premium on speed and a lower premium on spin and power. It is harder to draw errors just by slowly spinning the ball...

These guys glue very frequently and boost as well. If you do so, then change your blade too.

Touch shots, including blocks and pushes, require more racket head acceleration than you realize even with grip pressure changes. Decelerating the ball needs fast hands.

I am not fully sold on avoiding competition and there is nothing wrong with regressing into bad habits as this is inevitable. What I try to explain to my students and people is that you cannot master technique without using it to both make and miss shots, and that you are better off doing the...

I don't think it does but at a certain point, you can only make the ball go so slow and get people to miss. I think (and thoughtsontabletennis has a great entry on this) that having your setup perform as you desire it to over certain ranges of input is the key to blade rubber matching. Of...

IT's called patience. The schedule is backlogged with many long matches.

He is a Donic player - who knows?

Niwa is amazing.

He has serious problem reading Chinese players and strokes.

Zhu Yuling playing herself... lol.

Ishikawa reminds us today that victory is no always to the fastest, strongest or fittest player. Well done to her for beating two players that watching the match and comparing their physical abilities, I would thought she had no business in the sport. She was like a 150 pound Sumo wrestling...

He is trying to change his style. So he is trying to implement new things. I think his anger has kicked in and he is going back to how he used to play.

Xu Xin says eff this close to the table game and backhand play - goes in time machine and plays amazing shots to end game 5 and an amazing rally.

Li Dingshuo was injured in the previous match. He realized when he wasn't scoring points that it wasn't worth playing anymore.

My technique is fairly mature so this isn't what is happening for me. I still suspect I could do really well with a Viscaria and possibly a True Carbon. The problem for me is the handle design and the blade speed don't allow me to control the paddle the way I like to. In fact, the biggest...

I think it is the level of vibration felt which is tied to duration because od the lower frequency vibrations are easier to feel. I could be wrong about the last part though.
