That's my impression as well. If you (Archo) aren't using custom equipment, you may have the wrong impression of what is happening. But you might. A lot of this depends on your actual level of exposure to high level TT in Finland.

Scientific evidence for a statement with the word "only" is kinda impossible, don't you think? It takes empathy to be able to understand motives so that's the basis of your position even if the exact statement goes a bit beyond that. And sometimes, these things are age-related, so it may not...

Evidence?

Lot of successful people are like that. Just not good coaches ;).

Omega V Asia.

Of course it is hard. But it is possible. It just depends on your level of experience and practice and of course, how you decide to play. That's fair. As others have mentioned, the video quality is low, but you clearly have some good fundamentals on many of your strokes. In my experience...

kowabonga, She plays too fast for me.

True, but given that you are young and train, this video should be a dinosaur by now...

People who learn things as kids don't understand how lucky they are. Seriously. You are being shown the correct strokes before you have years of accumulated bad habits to correct. And before you start thinking you should be better than you are. For adults, the pains and rewards are...

We need some new video - you've been recycling this for a while now on ooakforum... (NL - in full trolling mode)

I am overanalyzing your need to overanalyze in order to sound like the smartest person in the room!

I think it's the English that say that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones? I have been playing club level TT for about 5 years or so. I read a lot of stuff on the internet and listened to people that I never saw play who sounded pretty insightful. At that time, I couldn't...

That makes sense. If you're hitting, that works. I've forgotten how to hit anything that isn't heavy topspin.:p

Yeah, those members need to get their head-checked. Would be curious to know who these members are...

Not good enough to be getting on people, but a surprisingly clean game with all the issues of a late learner but few of the major demerits (other than dodgy backhand timing). Your criticizing rights have been reinstated (as if I could ever revoke them)!

Burninating the country side! Burninating the archotaurus! Burbinating the nextkettlel! Turbinating the kowabonga! Burninating the TTlobster! Burninating the CarlUpDownSide!

The best part of how Archo posts is how often his posts disconnect people while other experienced posters connect with people.

No, I am judging your abilities to be an internet coach. And I am being fairly objective about it based on the evidence you have thus far presented.

Most professional coaches would not venture advice without having seen who they were offering advice to. And a professional coach would establish his expertise and why he should be listened to. Does that help show the problem? Young people like to believe that life is logical - no, life is...

OK, Archo. Carry on. Everything you write makes me more convinced than ever that you need to learn a lot more about table tennis and human beings if you want to do what you do competently.
