My videos are on the internet - I guess that makes me a web server!

It all depends on your expectations. I find the serving modules far easier than the mulitiball modules. With the multiball modules, I am trying to anticipate and it is very difficult. I usually get the serves right these days. And you are 100% right - it's not just about the contact but...

My new fave shot of all time: https://youtu.be/pZR3RdQKPTA?t=631

You can train someone to look for things in your game even if they don't play at a high level. But you have to train them, not just let them do their best without telling them what to look for

Wow. .. Mizutani finally taking it to Joo properly. Ah, you are in Missouri. Again, don't underestimate the reward you get for returning serves in a way that foil the game plan of the opponent. It is huge. So you beat the 1780 guy?

Congrats, Shuki. I know what you are saying, but we can only beat the people in front of us. And only those our training has prepared us for.

I think it might be an ITTF-driven choice as there are events with different quotas. But what no one has explained to me is why only 3 - why not 4 or 5 or even 6 since some people are so caught up with seeing the best players at the Olympics?

A smaller blade allround is not a bad thing. She can outgrow her blade or keep using it. People use tiny blades. Balance matters a lot though.

So I decided to practice yesterday. Today is the day I am taking off. I got to the club and my practice partner was playing matches. So I hit with another guy on the next table. This other guy has incredible arm acceleration but mostly lacks ball reading experience - I would argue that his...

This post is hard to understand without this video...

Abe, You are also young. When you are young, many things are much easier to learn. IF you look at how the ball is rotating, you see it. Adults have a much harder time learning such things. Being able to see the spin on the ball is the most important thing by far and way. Trust me on this...

No need to apologize man. IT's your thread. Just get the right kind of video and let's get back on track.

I declare war on hijackers!

Today for me is unlikely to involve any actual table tennis. That said, I strongly recommend cherry juice to people who want to recover from a day of TT. It's done wonders for how my body feels. Today, I am likely to go see X-Men Apocalypse instead of play. Yesterday, I Went to the club to...

ttmonster, I am pretty defensive about how I play as well. The right kind of critic/coach hasn't pushed my buttons here for you to see it, that's all. I know most of the people criticizing me so I can put their comments in perspective. But even then, if someone gets to me about something I am...

The principle is to be ready by the time the ball bounces on the opponent's side to play the shots you intend to play against most of his responses. How exactly you achieve that is up to you. In the videos, Shuki is almost always square to the table ready to play a backhand or a forehand. MAny...

Here we go again, archo. Shuki's recovery vs. who is playing with is largely excellent. What are you talking about?

Come on buddy... someone is telling you something that if you understand it can improve your game. You just need to figure out what he is really saying and what you really need to get out of it.

Come on buddy... make a distinction between the serve motion and the recovery.
