Ah, sad to hear you have the same issues I do... Good luck with it then. I watched some more video and July 21 Part 2 and 3 was a great improvement and remedied most of what I saw as issues on your Forehand except the brushing aspect - brush on both backspin AND topspin. So I think you are...

I hear you, but it is not so much about being tough but getting the basics down. Your forehand technique is good, but it could be better and I prefer that you master the stroke before going into drills where you have to move as the pressure of moving while doing strokes creates bad habits and...

I looked at the most recent videos - how long have you been playing for? You seem to be making good progress. Your coach is a good player, but his approach to teaching leaves a lot to the ability of the student and by the looks of it, you are pretty able. It is definitely going to make you...

For 1 year, he is a good player. He is getting stronger but he is still using the same lifting strokes than he used when he didn't have hand speed. Tell him to play more forward over the ball on all his strokes. Instead of finishing upward, finish at a point more in front of the body. He can...

How long has he been playing and how old is he? That's the first and most important question. Everything always needs work, but if he has been playing 1 month, this is ridiculously good. If he has been playing 5 years, then maybe a different take.

Generally, if I am playing a lower rated player and they start choing, I immediately start getting louder and louder, and trust me, you do not want to see me when I get louder... I have two choing matches that I hate - one win, one loss. The first, I was playing a tomboy and I mocked her...

Slapping backspin looping is not easy. It takes real talent to do slap backspin and think you are looping. Not for ordinary well adjusted mortals like yourself, UpSideDownCarl... welcome back!

When did Pnatchwey bodysnatch UPDC? Until the real Carl shows up, your name is UPDC...

Looks like this is all BH loop vs. backspin.

I haven't used T05FX in a while and never for a very long period. MX-S is harder and less catapulty so it plays in some ways more like a Chinese rubber. My guess is that this was Tibhar's primary aim in creating this version of Evolution - to have something for players with Chinese style...

That's why I said short pips. I think short pips are close enough to inverted, especially on the backhand, for the strokes to be reused. But beyond that, I doubt it, but I don't have the coaching experience so it is just a very strong and informed opinion.

Also helps to be able to compare what you did/do/are doing to what your coach does/did/is doing without the pressure of trying to do it at the same time.

Which is why you tape your lessons and review them so that you can practice what you learned with your training partners.

Many servers, if an issue with their serve is pointed out, will try to serve as legally as possible. So this is negotiable in most circumstances. I personally don't formally complain about illegal serves unless I am at an umpired tournament. But if they bother you, bring it to the attention...

Because the league is fun and you don't have to play by every single top level professional rule to have fun.

It's partly because of the nature of the coaching. Too many students like to take lessons from high level coaches rather than from coaches, no matter their level, with a good track record of teaching the kind of player that the student is. Anyways, let's not derail this topic - I have seen...

That's irrelevant - lessons make you a better player for sure. EJism does not!

I used the regular Rhyzm rubber in different sponge hardnesses so I agree. But I still think Calibra Sound wins.

TareqPhoto, Either you pay for coaching online or you pay for coaching in person or you find a better player, make him your friend, and then have him teach you stuff. Table tennis is hard to learn without coaching. Since you have a camera, record all your matches and if you have good...

For someone who has a camera, TareqPhoto is pretty slow...
