I guess what I am trying to say is that because you are not snapping your elbow/forearm correctly, the stroke is limited by the speed of your core and upper arm. This is where I hope your experience serving will help you fix the issue faster.

Think about the kinetic chain of a whip (which is the mechanic we are looking for) and what it means when the shoulder moves. Whips move much faster than snapper does and the shoulder motion ruins the whip effect. Grab a towel or a whip. Try to make it snap. You will see that it snaps best...

Siva, Youtube has slow motion settings that we can all use if we really want to. You can post the video at regular speed if the goal is to get insights and let people do the slow motion themselves. Of course, if you want the video to be a form of art, which is a noble goal as well, you can do...

I can give you at least 5 references to back up what DerEchte says. It happens to pros all the time. How long do you think Xu Xin has been training that super backhand that he used to beat Ma Long in Korea and Japan? Do you think he didn't have the problem of hitting it in practice and it not...

Yes, but don't gratuitously pile on him. It might superficially seem like this is what we are doing but it is not. Archo's heart is in the right place, but unfortunately, club level table tennis is more complicated to learn than he is giving it credit for. If archo actually lived close to a...

Link to said video? Trust me, if you smack balls, your rating is going to be low for a long time. Smacking is something you build up to, not something you do when you are building technique. Schlager is using a technical shot.

This drill is like a basic drill that most attackers do to improve their ability to adapt to the next ball. The problem though in my experience that one can still loop the block with suboptimal paddle recovery. In any case, anyone want to guess how many players loop over the table balls even...

You misunderstand me. I meant that Rasant belongs to the Evolution and Bluefire generation. 50 degree song usually means the Turbo version.

Not about hitting the table but as ttmonster pointed out about adapting your backswing rapidly to the incoming ball. TTmonster's drill is okay but depends a lot on the discipline of the looper as it is easier to hit a block than it would be to hit heavy topspin and that can lead to suboptimal...

No, he is saying that you know how to make it sound like you are playing at a higher level than you are. You have done this for so long that we don't think it's intentional trolling. It's just an extreme form of not understanding the reality of where your game is, but having seen and enjoyed...

I found it to be a bunch of repetitive crap.

One heavy chop, one heavy topspin, alternate feeds. Loop both close to the table. Don't back up.

I need to put in more hours - my serve is still deceptive but the depth control is poor....

David, You probably never tried to use the internet to get better at table tennis. I did. I remember the long list of players who posted all kinds of trash that I listened to which confused me before I knew what the players actually played like. You don't. So I can understand why you just...

You missed the joke, archo. It is all terminology, even the confusion between your taking the ball early (you meant over the table) and David telling you at the top of the bounce. If the ball was truly short, it would never come long so you can't loop it off or under the table. That's Carl's...

I did some serve practice for the first time in a long time yesterday. I probably should do it again as I have more spin but have lost a lot of depth control and form. I also noticed that there has been someone going out of their way to dislike my videos. Not sure why - might be lack of...

Yogi also has a review on the Eternity VPS. He really needs to post it here. http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75650&title=stiga-2016-blades-updated-with-review The blades I got have been fairly heavy in Master Flare (94 and 95) - I don't know whether they were an anomaly or...

IT's definitely faster than the Infinity. Yogi bear's review is pretty much on point. What else do you need to know?

Rasant/Rasant Turbo is actually the original answer to T05, not Grip/Powergrip. And many Andro sponsored players still use regular Rasant/Turbo. There are also good players using other ESN rubbers - two that immediately come to mind are Simon Gauzy (Cornilleau) and Quadri Aruna (Joola). IMO...
