I didn't read the entire discussion but I can lift a heavy backspin ball with just the wrist maybe slightly forearm with a horizontal racket angle. ofc it will be slow and have a higher arc and end up short(length). So I would need to test it again what you said but I don't buy it (yet) that you...

Ok i roughly start to understand now. What I seem to be doing with my arm is that I do realize it's a loopable ball and that it's slow aswell because how far I am preparing my stroke (long backstroke) It's like I try to rotate and take my arm as much back as possible to use it on the forwards...

Thats how I would use right now. But I had to think actively about using legs aswell. In matchplay I use only arm. And thats probably the first time I use my legs in a way that it actively gives me the power to the stroke. Because when I did it in the past I did it too late so it looked as if I...

No he said and showes the loop without dropping his shoulder. Only waist rotation and weight in the front. You mean my elbow goes behind my body during backswing? But you also said ML and FZD does it. Are theirs arm based too you say? Your conclusion confuses me. Maybe you can screenshot mine...

Yeah the t19 was too catapulty flying out mostly. Speed was around the same but the quota went down a lot. But again close table loops were never my strength. Thats why I default to a slow safer loop usually. Yeah thats my biggest issue with this setup. Against slower balls on my fh I can...

He is the certified coach. We will need to take the exam with those principles. They want us to teach the kids their way. He didn't say anything about my loop. But I am not following his principles... We still have 2 more days to go but I don't want to be that guy who questions him all the...

So basically I am doing my c-license here in germany. We are told how to teach kids the specific strokes. Fh-topspin: He told us: -against backspin your shoulder must not drop. It has to stay even. -don't hide your elbow behind your back (what malong fzd and even some europeans do I think) -...

I tried zyre03 on a carbon blade but it wasn't any faster or uncontrollable compared to my setup. Also feeling wise it wasn't a oh wow moment. It does give a unique sound but that might be the blade idk.

I like the attempt but sadly it doesn't provide any useful information. You can't confidently judge a rubber within minutes. First minute it's impossible to chop and the next it's really good? Best way to find out if the setup suits you is to play matches imho. I want to see how you perform...

The funny thing is thats how I teach beginners in clubs how to loop backspin. I even show show them to loop with only wrist then with forarm and wrist and so on. In matchplay I bet I would sometimes get more quality just by using wrist and forearm in comparison with the whole body. But 9:25...

I mean I get the message and as long as you enjoy the process I also think it's not wasted time. However I disagree and just because you don't know the goal or believe in nothing (why we are here etc) that you can't waste it. Drugs,alcohol, staying in toxic relationships, doomscrolling etc too...

@Nima Abadi here a countertopspin from 2 days ago final in a tournament. I guess it helped going for the shot when 10-7 and 2-1 ahead.

to add to this you can also film your matches (in case you play against the same opp somewhat in the near future again) and find his weakness and try to exploit that more in the match. In best case using your strength against his weakness. And also just watch matches and think more about which...

Thank you for the feedback. 1) Yep I do practise a bit ~2-5min once in a while and it works in training mostly but I agree I don't really do an effective fast spinny push 90% of the time. Mostly I push with the backhand and mostly safe to the opponents backhand. 2) This one I am a bit confused...

what do you mean more speed? Swing harder for more speed.

I don't want to fixate on a specific Number. Otherwise if I don't reach it I will be sad or even if I reach it I will feel the emptiness afterwards. So my focus is just on the road itself. Enjoy the concept of getting something right over the years. Bonus points if I can reach a level and find...

Trained twice with this setup and won the tournament yesterday not dropping a single set till finals and then winning 3-1. I don't understand why this setup performs but it performs. Also the Fh finisher loops are insane. I would need to watch the game once they upload it on youtube. Technique...

I know it has not much to do with the initial question... This sport is dying. If you like it or not. dying in terms of in the next years coming there will be only super amateur players if I have to put in terms of rating: Below currents 1300TTR and the other half being pros who work daily with...

National was also gifted by my brother. Gotta have to use it now :P It sits in my drawer for a year now. My mind tells me to just give 0 fucks and just play with a setup I enjoy at that time and use up all these rubbers that I have. So blade wise only W968 with the d09c and H3n which I like...

this one is provincial. By hard I mean how it felt 8months ago. I didn't like it back then. I got another sheet but that's national from prott
