I remember when an amateur friend of mine, who likes to review CNT videotape with his friends, came along with me to ask a high level coach friend of mine a question. The amateur friend's question was simple - he and his friends had found ways of looking at videotape and developing high level...

The general idea is important - the rest is practice. I've always shaken my head when people say things like top of the bounce etc. You just practice the different timings and see what works and let the brain adjust. But if you want to get into that, if you relaxed and took the ball later...

One of the mistakes we make in TT is feeling well can do better without practice. That said, if you close your paddle more, you are 99% likely to keep hitting the ball long as I suspect this is what you are already doing. What you need to do is a bit more technically complicated and requires...

It doesn't have to be any time soon.

BTW, I was going to respond to this in detail and explain in greater detail the differences between athleticism/movement and footwork that you alluded to in your response. But then I remembered the reason why I put Archo on my ignore list a few days ago was that in addition to his being...

You guys do know that I have 24/7 access to the club in Philly, right?

Tell Nicole she can hit balls with me anytime :cool:.

I wish it was just skill - sometimes it is raw patience and guidance and a willingness to put in the hours when nothing seems to be changing. And you need a feedback system or nothing will ever change. On one of my recent attempts to fix the pendulum elbow problem, here is my coach: That's...

Rubber Cement has been known to make people fail VOC tests 24 hours later. Just letting you know how much you have really cheated ;).

What don't you like about it? You still have some technical work to do on your serves. Also, your forehand finishing position needs to get a little higher or you will be struggling with trickier balls but this is a match though - maybe your standard forehand is better and just can't work as...

Guys, I didn't invent the combo. If you have any decent coach who is interested in teaching you things that win points rather than things that waste your time, they will go over this combination with you. Basically, there are two kinds of major serve and attack strategy. 3rd ball is trying to...

Smashfan was there on Saturday? Men, I should have slept better!

Rubber cement? Oh well...

I actually like how he played with it. With time to adjust, it is a good decision as he definitely pushed better with this forehand.

I played that pendholder a bit longer than that but my camera was off for part of it for some reason. My knees were burning by the time I stopped.

I have strongly felt for a while now that they should make exhibition table tennis or some form of it an Olympic event. China will probably still win but it will make TT far more popular than the serve and spin error fiestas out there today.

Not at all man. If you learn to use the wrist, it makes life much easier. You are penholder too so that is your advantage. The wrist makes it generate spin, challenge spin, serve short etc. That's why you can't serve short with deception right now - your arm motion is large so it gives the...

I think given the changes in his life and his game, it is only to be expected. I found the way he actually played to be very technically sound. My guess is that he hasn't played enough left handers since making the changes and that will change over time.

IT can get you into the semi-finals of the WTTC and that still counts for something.
