  1. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

    I never played with pips but a few times I've tried them out or for training purposes, so I have no clue.
  2. How to improve muscular endurance on backhand drives and topspins?

    As FH_Project said, shadow training, stretching and trying to relax as much as you can while training, the whole arm.
  3. Do you have to be fit to be a pro table tennis player?

    Being overweight is a disadvantage, but the technical nature of the sport allows people to compete even at higher levels. I believe it worls the other way around as well, good physical prowess makes up for a lack of tactical ability. You should be able to exploit the limitations of players in a...
  4. Teaching an absolute beginner how to play

    Use shadow practice to establish body position and footwork and very slow multiball to develop the strokes. If he can I can recommend just to bounce a ball 100 times on his racket, both sides, and play against a wall, it's very effective to develop ball feel at home without a partner and at a...
  5. WTT Star Contender Ljubljana 2026 June 16-21

    I am rooting for Togami to finally earn a gold. I think he has the potential to beat anybody in this semifinal, there are no particularly bad matchups for him.
  6. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

    Such an interesting player.

    Japanese doubles work well it seems. Togami is on fire and they fit well with Hiroto Shinozuka.

    I think his pride wouldn't let him not give his full effort. Love him, but his ego is huge.
  9. WTT Star Contender Ljubljana 2026 June 16-21

    Fang Bo's serve game is amazing. But the receives, especially the backhand flick were way too inconsistent. Wang Yang lost to Narajo. He started attacking way too late, he does this every time. Despite being a defender he somehow lacks the mental awareness. And András Csaba lost to Yuan Licen in...

    I am sad for Odo, Miwa dismantled her. I think she had a bad day, she had multiple brain freezes and many unforced errors.
  11. Backhand modern weight transfer technique: loading on dominant leg. What do you think or prefer?

    I remember Kenji Matsudaira made a video where he was experimenting with left vs right leg dominant backhands and his conclusion was that "it depends on the ball". I can't find the video, but it was in japanese, maybe on his own channel.
  12. Impact of edge tape on vibrations

    Scientifically, I don't think it should be much, but I swear I feel a dampening...so I only tape half the blade and then it's fine.

    Yeah, it was definitely hidden and the root of why he lost. That being said, I feel like if he is confident he could've dealt with it, but instead he blanked out, he was very predictable in the last set and made bad decisions.
  14. WTT Contender Zagreb 2026 June 9-14

    He himself said that he needs probably a year to get back in form.
  15. Hungary had a prodigy...

    WTT Zagrab: She got Zhu Sibing in the first round, which was probably the worst draw she could've got, even Manika Batra would have been better, as one of her teammates (Minhyung Jee) is an OX pips player. She played very well in the first set, but Zhu Sibing switched her chops to sidespin and...
  16. Hungary had a prodigy...

    Lizett training with Chen Yi in the WTT hall (they've got an invitation to train an hour with her):
  17. DHS Skyline serie, TG2 and TG3

    I started playing with a TG2 neo on my FH. It was extremely tacky and spinny, but hard as a brick. I've tried an used sheet later and found it too slow and low throw, but it might be because it was already worn, not boosted and on a stiff blade. Ma Lin used it I found that it works the best when...

    how is pinghero? is it any good?
