Haha thats right, I was talking about 4th class here. To be more specific: mostly youth players that come from National C level and now transitioned to seniors. Its a completely different game for them now. They are so used to play fast most of the time. Now they have to play opponents twice...

Yes, they do actually want to become better, but they just don't know how to. They ask me for advice because they can't stand the patience they need to play against thesse opponents. And I agree, to implement new techniques you might lose a little more often then usually. I guess they cant...

Hi folks, Something that seems to be a problem with alot of players at my club is that they struggle against opponents that only have 1 tactic: push push push to their backhand. While the most obvious thing to do would be to just loop the push, its a high risk shot for them which they would...

Honestly the answer is quite simple. Use the blade thats the best in the areas that you actually use in your game. We all look for that setup thats perfect for everything, but (like you already mentioned) that doesn’t exist(!). All setups have compromises. You have to ask yourself: are the...

Hi Heming! Great to have you on this forum! I have been following you on youtube lately. And although I consider myself to be more advanced when it comes to technique, I still scour all your videos to see if there is 1 tip that might be usefull. Recently I saw your video about pivoting, and...

Most of these tips are aimed thowards affecting your opponent psychologically. And to be more specific, not giving your opponent a psychological advantage. But if you really want to psychologically dominate you opponent, you should show some form of confidence. And most professionals do this in...

Tenergy 05 overrated? Lets see… It has been the most dominant rubber amongst pro players from 2008 to 2019. Even the pros that were supposedly sponsored by other brands, still used T05. It was so good, if you didn’t use it you would be at a disadvantage. And what make it so populair amongst...

No worries. Looks like we are like minded haha.

Well Victor isn't just any server, so it is not a shame you are having a hard time recieving against him. Also he is a lefty, so this makes the angles you have to cover wider. But since you asked for advice I will give you some insight of the things that I noticed. And they all have to do with...

Although this is a nice addition, I feel like it wouldn’t be very hard to put some sensors in the clamping area of the nets to detect whether the ball hits the edge or side. And while we are at it, lets add some sensors to the net-posts as well to detect let serves.

I did this quite recently. And although I had pretty good feeling with it and enjoyed it alot, I still didn’t go through with it. Depending on how long you have been playing, the transition will be easier the earlier you start. I have been playing with inverted rubbers on my backhand 15+...

This blade got on my radar last week. And the more I read what people are saying about it, the more I want to buy one 🤣. But there is 1 thing that Im wondering, and thats spin capabilities. Gan mentioned in his video review that spin was only average, or “A-“. I have owned a Timo Boll spirit...

No worries, Dan wil just get a Gold Viscaria and use its magic to beat them.

Well here you go @TensorBackhand. Not quite 50 degrees, but maybe worth trying the 52,5 😉

Also, if you are unsure about the serve being side-top or side-back. Wait a little longer with the recieve. Let the ball bounce and hit it on the dropping stage at 6 o clock (so the exact bottom) with a good cut. This way the spin on the serve will be less effective. The topspin serve might...

You have to really pay attention to the motion at point of contact. The server in this video does a good job disguising the serve by contacting the bottom of the ball around 4 to 5 o clock. This makes it so alot of people might initially think its backspin. But his motion when he contacts the...

You are the living proof that all the money in the world can’t buy a better player. I don’t know what part of that impresses me more: spending 5 figures on equipment in that short amount of time, or spending all that money and still play like crap.

Yeah I have to admit that I underestimated the difference at first. On slower shots I find them quite similar, but on full power I still have to get used to the low arc. Serve, short balls and flicks are really nice so far. Best of any rubber I have ever played with. Although long and fast...

I would agree. But I am just not the kind of person to spend so much money on a 2nd handed blade. Im just saying what I would be willing to pay for such a blade. $250-300 if it it legitimate and brand new. If he removed the plastic foil that comes with the blade, I will start to question the...

I dont really like where this thread is going. Im going to respond to these 3 points, because thats where this thread is about, right? 1. Isn't the point of reboosting? To expand the sponge again and get the wanted tension in the topsheet? Although I dont have any experience with reboosting...
