  1. Looking for advice (mainly on equipment)

    You have to have a real forehand to use your rubbers to the point they show wear and tear. Would like to be nice but OP'S technique does not qualify if we go strictly by the video evidence.

    Yes. He was here for a while too.

    Understood. But you posted a match and asked for advice. Now you are mocking the people who gave you advice to make a joke. The main point to take away is that missing a serve is a free, unearned point for the opponent. If you had a killer reverse serve that won the point, we could excuse it...

    It's counterintuitive but the reason why people like practicing with better players is that they know how to give you balls to hit. Unfortunately, many lower rated players do not get that memo and think that the best way to practice is to hit unhittable balls... When you watch two good players...

    Seems like our posts (Carl and I) crossed. The common word is the most important word.

    Teach whatever you feel you can teach or want to teach. Not all students are wired the same way. In the end, people want to have fun.

    Then don't play tournaments and go practice. You don't practice during tournaments. You play to win matches. It takes a certain attitude to do things that are costing you points that you have not buttoned down to any reasonable degree of competence. The reverse serve is probably the hardest...

    Read above: you have no clue how to have cool looking overused FH rubbers.;):p

    Now if you had posted that before writing anything else, you would have received far more constructive commentary in my opinion. I will return later this evening to post stuff, but table tennis is too technical for you to develop good form by watching others unless you have a decent...

    I actually use Red on Forehand now but I have gone through periods when I used Black on FH. I decided that the Red rubber looked better when my forehand rubber was beaten to death so I used that instead. So you see, if you use a black Euro rubber on FH, you have no clue how to have cool...

    Carl listened to Alex who was using the Korean approach where they put in footwork drills/school for a while as a side show before bring you to the table so you know how to move before starting lessons.

    There is too much information about yourself and context missing. What is your rating/experience level and what are your goals? How long have you been playing for?
  16. Looking for advice (mainly on equipment)

    To answer your question anyways, get 1.9/2.0 to 2.1/Max. Any of the rubbers is fine, though players with consistently harder strokes prefer harder sponges. I would go with Rakza 7 both sides but if I had weight concerns or simply wanted to slow down my swing, I would try the soft. Sponge...
  17. Looking for advice (mainly on equipment)

    All these questions are cool but they are not as important as many hours you spend training. It's really sad sometimes when I see someone spend so much time on equipment and their technique is still not advanced.

    And he managed to sneak in the Dragon too! :p

    Good catch. Yes, right hip.
