    So here is my serve secret sauce video - this change took my backspin serve from good to consistent point scorer. Raises the spin on your serve significantly. Sometimes I feel guilty sharing this since a tip like this is paid content on TTEdge, but I know Brett wouldn't mind and I have learned...

    We have a thread here on the same topic: https://www.tabletennisdaily.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?14938-All-things-service Maybe we haven't gotten to tips yet, but I am not going to post to two threads when I find time.

    She is to be locked in the dungeon with them.
  4. Qatar Open 2017

    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice... ZJK is done for me. I will enjoy watching him play but will never have expectations for him.
  5. Qatar Open 2017

    Natalia Partryka with another great win. ZYL and CM struggling with ZYL losing 1-4.
  6. Petr Korbel Blade Cheap on Amazon???

    Was what I got. I didn't ask for it. Could be out of spec rejects being sold on the cheap.
  7. Is Samsonov finished ?

    Just as people remember Jordan for being a player on the Washington Wizards instead of the greatest player of all time... or people remember Ali for losing in his final years but not as the greatest heavyweight of all time... or people remember Timo Boll for his recent injuries not for his years...
  8. Petr Korbel Blade Cheap on Amazon???

    I bought one and it turned out to be real. Took over a month to get here by international first class mail and was 98g. Infer from that what you may.
  9. Is Samsonov finished ?

    You are seriously trying to say that he should stop playing just because he no longer plays at a top 10 level?

    A good player is supposed to be able to do anything well. That's not the point. My point is that getting a weak return off a server is a requirement of a good serve. The third ball is strong against weak returns. Good returns shut down third ball and are easy vs bad serves. You can't...

    Oh, you have long pips. That explains your attitude. I win a lot of free points on serve vs long pips. I also win points off kills vs low quality returns. I sometimes have to play third ball as well. But solving a serve is not putting the ball on the table, which is how a pips player might...

    Some of that is right and some of that is a bit confusing so let me clarify. Boogar was saying that he didn't know how to keep the ball on the table when close to the table with a powerful stroke. I was trying to tell Boogar that if you hit the back of the ball, you may even spin it but you...

    Compare the two videos above. The first loop looks harder and faster, but will get you into trouble once you need to hit the ball harder and once the incoming ball is spinny. The second loop is slightly riskier because it is coming round the side of the ball to shape it. But for slightly...

    Yes, all of the above that you mentioned depending on the incoming spin. You may have missed when I tried to explain to SchemeSC. Do not graze though - hit the ball.

    You are still hitting the back of the ball my friend. Stop this nonsense as soon as possible - it will only hold you back from getting better for much longer than necessary.

    Not just that, but when you do a full stroke, the ball still stays on the table!
  17. All things service

    Carl got it, but let me try again. I think you think there is a major difference between 1) getting a point off your serve outright, vs 2) getting an easy thirdball opportunity, vs 3) getting a controlled return, 4) vs getting an offensive return vs 5) getting your serve killed. There are...

    I started a thread like this on mytt but it didn't get very far. This was before I met Brett, after which I have learned much more. Will be back to share some stuff later. May not be today tho.

    Learning in table tennis is never wasted. You have neurons and experiences stored in your hand as a Penh older that will help you as a shake hander and vice versa. Grip is not a static thing. So please continue to share your eternal evolution.

    Well, I decided to start with that. Here is a match vs a much better player than DerEchte. See again what happens on serve return. I could show my videos of me repeatedly missing DerEchte's serves as well. Of course you need an attack behind your serves, but misses come in different...
