This is an old video though so I suspect I have seen this shot before at some point...

You have to forget the result and focus on the game plan and keep executing. If you continue to focus on the result, you will not be happy with how you play. If you know what you intend to do and how you want to play, you will play your best. If you think about whether you are winning or...

If you need to get into the top 4, the most important thing is serve, serve receive, third ball, and fourth ball in that order. Make those as sharp as possible. That is all you should be working on and playing training matches. Study your opponents and watch them play others and see what...

How high is your playing level? Timo Boll and many top players change grip from Backhand to forehand and for different shots as well. Don't think about it - play how you feel comfortable. After the tournament, you can work on it if you want. If you really need to work on it, you need to find...

What an amazing shot! Very unique too - a fade forehand round the net.

If you loop as a pure looper and are active in reading and manipulating spin especially on service return, nothing beats Tenergy 05. The real problem is when you don't. That's when you might yearn for something else. If it doesn't cost you too much and you like to loop, just get Tenergy 05...

Get thicker rubbers.

The funniest thing about this is that if you asked Brett what the primary model for his forehand stroke is, he would tell you Chinese technique and would also tell you that when doing forehand looping, the golden elbow rule is less applicable. In the end, it's easy to pretend that you know more...

You play pretty well. You know what you need to do so only a better player beating you will make you do it. This opponent is not good enough to put you under real pressure so it is not clear what will get you to the next level and I don't like giving general advice that you already know.

The coaching between points rule is one of the better ones, IMO. It's annoying to continue to be paranoid about what the coach is doing. Just play the match.

Here is a post I wrote on another site elsewhere: My second day using Tenergy 05 and MX-S left me far less impressed by MX-S. Let's just put it that way. I was playing a clubmate (and like I may have forgotten to mention earlier, my movement has been getting better and better this week and my...

You mean play to 16 - playing to 15 would not allow deuce to occur with both players having had an equal number of serve opportunities.

Yes, I still do especially on my pendulum serves, even though I should know better.

I don't agree that there are too many variables to mathematically represent what is going on precisely is a significant barrier to analyzing table tennis. After all, this doesn't prevent mathematical analysis of tennis or other forms of sports science. The real problem for me with people like...

Guys, You all do have to know that this is what pnatchwey does. He's a bit of a literalist when it comes to language. Lots of smart comments in this post from all parties. While technique is king, equipment does matter. If you don't think so, buy Tenergy 25 and use it. What you learn may...

Wow, Fan beats Ma! Comes back from 0-2 down too!

Orenburg won 3-0.

Yeah, very sharp. Timo had some sharp spurts as well, but couldn't keep up the shotmaking ultimately.

I don't think it's fighting the follow through, to be honest. They serve differently from WLQ or Samsonov, who build in aspects of the follow through into their serve motion. If you look carefully, you will see that WLQ's pendulum has much more shoulder rotation. I think recovery after the...
