I have a bit of experience with this. Of course a robot can be a great tool to build a decent foundation. When practicing you will get used to getting the ball in the exact same spot with the exact same speed every time. This will make it easier for you to learn new strokes you previously...

If I were you give you 1 tip, it would be to use your legs more to lift the ball up. I see you are getting your upwards momentum in your strokes, in both backhand and forehand from your shoulder and arm. When the ball comes thowards you you get nice and low, bending your knees, waiting to...

Thomahawk serve, long with topspin to my backhand.

I did try one of my clubmates rackets yesterday. He also has Fastarc G-1 on FH, same af me so I could make a good comparison. He has some thick custom blade which I have no idea of what it was. It was also quite light and bouncy, so I suspect there was balsa in there. He had Tibhar Grass Dtecs...

I can see a few comments here and there that are sceptical about me wanting make such a drastic change to my playstyle. I understand your concerns, but I have more reasons to change then just “oh I have a weak backhand, long pimples will probably solve all my problems”. The truth is, I have...

Okay so to elaborate more on the playstyle I want to play. I wouldn’t say I want to be the kind of defender that just chops away from the table to outlast my opponent. I think I would still mainly play offensive with my forehand. But with my backhand I would probably be mainly defensive...

Hi folks, I have always had a weaker backhand. I would say its pretty decent now. I score alot of points with slow spinny backhand openups, but its not a Darko Jorgic like killer. Whenever my opponent starts putting pressure on my backhand I find myself stuck blocking, walking away from the...

Honestly if you are this unsure about what to get then I probably wouldn’t spend this much money on a new racket. Also we don’t have any info about what you want out of your new racket. What’s your playing style? What’s your level? Why do you want a new racket? Do you want something similar...

For the people that are interested in these rubbers but might find €80 too much, they are available here now for €65; https://tabletennisstore.eu/

Hi there! Thanks for sharing the footage. I will try to give some feedback to the best of my ability. However, I dont know your thinking process during the game. So I dont know what your exact strategies are and the thoughts behind it. Like a few others already mentioned, I would mainly focus...

Yes, you are right. Like I said its not that I don’t like G-1 on bh at all. Just when the opponent pressures my bh it becomes a weak point. So maybe I put the title a bit wrong. Im not looking for too big of a change. But rather something similar with more control that allows me to have more...

As an engineer I can tell you there is no limit in what can be achieved in terms of catapult and speed. Everything continuously improves with small margins. However, there is no need for it in the current state of the game. Ever since the glue ban, manufacturers needed to find a way to bring...

It probably has to do with the different throw angle and sponge. It sounds like you are not engaging the sponge right. So whenever you hit the net you don’t engage the sponge enough and the ball falls dead. But when you overcompensate you engage the sponge too much and it throws it pit of the...

Hi folks, I would like some suggestions regarding a new backhand rubber I have been playing a few months now with the infamous Nittaku Fastarc G-1 on both sides. While I love it on my forehand, on my backhand its more of a love-hate relationship. I love the rubber whenever I do slow spinny...

Exactly, lets not try to solve a problem that doesnt exsist. I rarely see pros complain about the opponents serve. TTD had done quite a few videos on Par Gerell and his serves. When you read the comments its mostly people saying that his serves are illegal. But I have watched a few matches of...

I think they need to redefine what an illegal serve is. If they were to really call illegal serves according to the current rules, then all pendelum, reverse pendulum, hook and shovel serves are illegal by default. Since the proper technique that most pro’s use, requires you to lean into the...

I have never used any Dignics rubber myself. But I do know that they are very hard. Judging by your story it seems like you don’t have the explosiveness in your technique that is required to get the most out of a rubber like that. The harder the rubber, the more you need to be able to grip the...

I have a cheat code for you: the strawberry flick 🍓

Thank you for your insight! I wouldnt mind the Falcima being just as fast as the Viscaria. For me its all about the feeling. The thicker handle design supposedly increases the feeling of the Viscaria compared to the Timo Boll Spirit. But just in case I still wont like it I will give the...
