Your issue is more an adult and footwork and height problem and less a leftie problem. Taking the ball besides you is not easy once you are a certain height with long arms. The forehand is the more powerful stroke in general so it has premium place in table tennis, but the backhand has its...

I enjoy playing forehands more but my backhand is my stronger and higher level side. If I win a match, it is almost always by dominating the opponent's backhand.

I got to usatt 2000 as a BH oriented player who developed my forehand mostly to make people not just play lousy shots there to win points. Just pointing it out in case you think for some reason this is a seriously limiting thing.

The fact that after all this, you still don't appreciate how clueless you really are. But my guess now is that other than playing a serious player, nothing will really show you the gap between what you think you can do and what is really happening.

Sure, but the problem is that he is grooving his stroke against one type of ball and with a focus on one type of contact, not that his stroke is flawed. If he is trying to change the ball arc and speed etc, the changes will happen, tips or no tips. The tips are never substitutes for the...

So educate me, what are the differences in technique that one needs when using tacky vs non-tacky rubbers and what is your experience with them? Since you haven't done an extensive comparison, have you considered the possibility that these differences change from.rubber to rubber? Just because...

I think if one naturally practices and is trying to change and improve the quality of his ball (too many people just continue.to focus on keeping the ball on the table rather than.experimenting with technical improvements for timing, spun variation, bat speed and stroke consistency), one will...

Since it's a public forum, it's only reasonable that you inject yourself into something you don't understand. I was not debating whether 729FX was spinny or not - I was debating archo's justification for saying so. Since archo knows what I am getting at by "bullying" him, I won't debate the...

Now, if you had shown us that forehand, then you would have received a mountain of instructions.

So let's get this straight - you have not used any other rubber at the same price, and you haven't used any respectably spinny rubber, yet you know that your rubber is a steal. I have news for you buddy, any inverted rubber that is ITTF approved is grippy as long as it isn't the staple of a...

So how many rubbers have you bought at that price that show you this?

Compared to what you previously used, grasshopper. Compared to what you previously used. Otherwise, you will picking up your jaw if you play with Tenergy 05 or Evolution MX-S.

So don't get me wrong, anchorschmidt - are there things you can do to improve this loop? Yes. You could always get lower etc. Is this loop as is going to be a major issue for your improvement? No. IF you practiced adjusting this loop to backspin, no spin, sidespin, pip balls etc., then you...

What causes the edge balls is where you aim to make contact on the ball and that has nothing to do with the backswing. If your forward swing plane is to go over the top of the ball with closed racket, you will have too many edges etc. What most better players do and what it looks like you are...

End of discussion.

Why are you trying to fix something that is correct?

If you do study those things, especially business, and you can't tell that you are spouting a lot of BS, your only excuse is your youth. When I say study, I don't mean read books. I mean actually do things as a practitioner. That said, let's not ruin knife's thread with another archo trial.

I am sure that if archo had to write that POS again based on what he had learned at TTD, some of it would go into the trash but because of his misguided sense of brilliance, many dangerous elements would remain. If I ever met archo, I would strictly give him those slow spinny loops that get...

For people who don't know, here was archo's first post on ooakforum, after watching my strokes and reading my attempt to coach someone to improve his forehand. As ttmonster is pointing out, some of this is clearly insecurity as he feels confident enough to speak about things he has never really...

This is what people who ruin the world with the lack of experience often say. It's probably the reason why you study philosophy and not something serious like engineering or science or business.
