I don't think he takes offense to it and neither do I. The issue is whether you have even worked with people or have the experience to support what you are saying with insight. TT is one of those sports that some people watch and go "I will be 2300 in 3 months since I am 1900 today and I know...

Of course. The power might not be timed or transmitted 100% efficiently but it obviously does. Most of the power in TT comes from core rotation, not the arm. What bending the knees does is let you rotate the core over a wider and more stable base giving you more stability for a larger stroke...

When my loop is powerful, it is unlikely to be mostly arm. You just don't know what to look for because you keep thinking that pros are doing what they are not doing (some pro coaches do as well so this is okay). If you actually played matches to win or hung out with more high level TT...

Good to see you still wasting your time with stuff, archo. Whatever happened to video odf your match play?

When you use your arm as a whip, it is not the same as using your arm as a hammer. When people say that you should use the wrist, it's not so much that you should actually use the wrist but they are asking for whip mechanics. The sooner you bite the bullet and consistently use well timed whip...

This is true but in my experience, coaches focus on everything except how to transmit power to the arm. So I focus on that and let people figure out what other coaches ficus on in their spare time. If you watch the video he transmits power into the arm well on many shots usinf his body when I...

This was an interesting weekend. Had a training session on Friday with a Chopper who was my former coach when I started out. I tested my new keep the elbow down whipped grip looping technique for a while. Then I hit with a guy who I agreed to hit with for a hour. Went home to catch the US...

Use whatever you are happy using. You play TT for fun.

Who won the whole thing?

By the way, Stiga has come to its senses. I bought a Clipper from Dandoy and it came to 102g. I gave to a friend who I bought it for and he set it up. I borrowed it yesterday and today felt so good and balanced that I might just have to keep it. It feels like my Eternity which has the same...

I couldn't record Boogar's best win which was his first league match vs a 1600 player. Zheng is almost 1800 and the medium pips guy is underrated at 1500 (I have played him so I know).

Full playlist of All Boogar's recorded matches: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1xHYZmEaJtTnTO4mml9ED5NRVVSZ9G6P Boogar played the Saturday night league and went 3-2.

The post bought tears to my eyes not because she is off the market, but because they actually took their reception to the table tennis club. That is staying true to the game.

If a shot was hit and there was no camera to record it, was the shot hit? Yes, only in your head.

Boogar came to Princeton Pong and played quite a few matches with the players who do things you don't see on TV. I misplaced one of my camera batteries so I couldn't get all the footage but I got some. Will share soon.

For me, it was Hou Yingchao. The look on Omar Assar's face was priceless the way Hou just took the ball and rolled it. I suspect Peirre Luc's is actually the most difficult. ttmonster, you are showing national bias ;).

When you compare yourself to FZD's impossible shot, you had better do a special roller if you aren't playing during a point and have the benefit of editing.

Okay. I will leave Siva to his own devices. He seems to know best what he wants to do and who to listen to.

Shoulder/core rotation is good, use of the arms can be improved. You are trying to drive the ball rather than learn to spin it slowly first. It's like trying to drive a car at 160kmph before you learn how to steer the wheel. Start with the loop that Sean O Neill demonstrated. Learn to use the...
