  1. First league match in 28 years

    Record all your matches (Carry a waiver if necessary), don't swing across your body and just have fun. Just set a few reasonable goals and see how successful you are in meeting the goals.
  2. Good at practice, bad at matches..

    The key as Illia pointed out is to start by analyzing why you are losing points - are you losing points because of things you have not faced before or losing points despite having practiced certain things? That usually explains what you need to work on. If you play well in practice matches or...
  3. Returning backspin

    hopper, Matches reveal gaps in your training that are helpful to close if you see the gaps as repeated opportunities.. IMO, one of the biggest mistakes in TT is to harass oneself for missing shots that one has never drilled. Shots not trained against in matches regularly are never fully easy...
  4. Returning backspin

    One thing I forgot to mention on the other forum - when you have a short table, sidespin is always your friend. It also helps when the spin is heavy.
  5. Rubbers For a Timo Boll Spirit

    Dandoy exists - they ship to the US as well.
  6. Wish me luck!

    You guys want me to give up my NextLevel schtick and get into burninating!

  9. Wish me luck!

    Don't let your beard scare the obstacles - you need the challenge!

    Oh well, I guess I will have to celebrate making the shot and then move on to fixing it...

    Maharu Yoshimura of course.
  12. The big EDGE TAPE thread.

    I bought one in black and one in red maybe 7 months ago or so - one of my smartest purchases in TT ever.
  13. TTEdge Executing Table Tennis Shots Series!

    The video on my counterspin had me rethinking what the meanings of "full face of the bat" and "swinging shallow" were and I have a better appreciation of what was wrong with my shadow stroke now. One of the benefits of this video analysis of my counterloop is that it has enabled me to see that...
  14. TTEdge Executing Table Tennis Shots Series!

    The one thing I will say for Andy is that his shadow training has improved the general waist rotation and body turn and made it feel more natural for him to do the rotation while swinging. Even as the stroke being grooved was imperfect, the physical effects on his hip/waist/core/shoulder...

    Carl using perfectly sane and sound logic to analyze a fabled video where people would agree that Ma Lin used magnets to make the ball boomerang if it could prove that ZJK didn't touch the ball and Ma Lin is a special server... Who do you think you are convincing anyways other than the people...

    Wow... Strong bad is dangerous for mental health... he would fit perfectly into MYTT.

    Someone posted on mytt that CNT coaches said there were techniques for making the ball trajectory look similar to that for a different spin and that Waldner and Guoliang did this extremely well. As crazy as this sounds, this gives some insight into what roundrobin once said that a player who...

    Baal, I think there was sarcasm and visual aesthetics inspiring the original poster of that video, but I can't say for sure.
  19. EJs wanted! a rubber similar to Adidas P7

    I would have said Donic Baracuda as well, but I find Andro Hexer to be a tad bit closer as it is less sensitive than Baracuda in the short game and more similar to P7 in that regard. But I guess the class with Hexer, Genius and Baracuda is a pretty tough group, even if they never matched...

    He's no Waldner but this guy is an underestimated server a well - great guy too ;). I wish more of his matches were on youtube. He has the lefty advantage. My reverse pendulum is now getting good enough for the snake serve to be a threat. My pendulum, which is what the snake serve...
