Nice to hear that you are so positive! Also great self confidence haha, HandsomeSteve. Yeah, i think i will get better if i start training more. Before i practiced 4-5 a week aswell, now 1-2. Will try to practice a bit more. Cool that you glasses works for you! do you have some kind of rubber...

Can it be medium pips? Have a hard time understanding how he could play long pips without breaking. I assume it is softer if it do not break, but can it hen be so fast? No sponge and fast blade? Played with some medium pips. 563 was awesome but needed to change it after one week, even with a...

Did not know the chinese still used Hurricane on backhand. These are soft and fast enough for backhand?

Think the arc of the ball was way to high. Very unatural blocking backhand.

Yes, I believe more in moving wrist and arm then press with thumb to much. Yeah risky business to sand the handle I feel. I was hoping to have several blades to try it on. Too bad I got two stolen now.

Bad update: been coaching part time for at least 10+ years at this club. Usually do not bring my racket but brought it today. Usually leave bag in the ”coach room”. Yesterday someone stole my bag, left my bag but my racket case was gone. So need to get new rackets before training again. A bit...

I think racket head is like this since I try to hit the right side of the ball. Probably better to have relaxed and dropped. I’m just afraid that I will get to much angle so I hit the left side of the ball, think this makes it hard to hit forward. I always felt like I am good at hitting ”thick”...

I feel that the risk is higher that the shot get a bit wobbly and not so safe. I agree it probably comes natural with the wrist if racket head point inward. Thanks for the feedback.

Also find it hard to know how much wrist to have. To much wrist and I think it becomes unsafe but probably good for spin. And I think more risk with penhold that it get to much wrist.

Thanks for the long answer. Have also understood that there is a lot of variation in sanding and in grip. Use short pimple on forehand so open angle is okey there. Have tried some different grips and are not certain, asweell with the pressure on which finger. I mainly try to focus on the stroke...

Thanks for all the replies. I am on the phone hard to reply to everyone separately. But appreciate all the support. I think I need to give some context. Before I often felt like I played to much up and down in backhand and almost hit the left side of the ball. I feel like by hitting the right...

Okey. If you get really sore i still think it could be techniqe issue. Unless you are weaker than most tabletennis players in certain muscles. Sounds good to train muscles but i think you still should consider the technique, are you tense? elevated shoulder? Racket to high? But of course if you...

BH: active block against loop and loop against block Trying to do put racket more towards body in beginning, i think this also make me start the stroke earlier which i think is good. Felt at bit harder to time the stroke but i think it looks better than before, not letting the ball sit on the...

@latej I appreciate that you want me to come there :) Sounds like a cool thing, great community here! Also really nice when people are interested in tabletennis. I feel like many are interested in playing tabletennis but not the sport in general. @Oliverpool Do you tweak your penhold blades...

I am a physiotherapist but do not actually work so much with assesment of pain. But i am interested how come you get pain? There are so many tabletennis players of all kind and many are not so fit. Are you very unfit? If so i think general strenght training would be good, even so for your...

Just started playing again this week after almost one years break due to health issues so have been pretty far away from tabletennis. Maybe i can go next year :) Will really think about it if you can teach me backhand topsin haha :)

Forehand counter/smash This i think acutally look pretty decent haha. Maybe can try to relax the arm a bit more and have it a little more closer to 90 degree in elbow. I play with short pimples on forehand side.

Okey! I think i try to brush over the ball on purpose because i try to get spin in the ball. I agree that i could play more thicker and push forward more against top spin, i think i usually do more like that. When i watch chinese women tabletennis on youtube i think it looks like they play more...

Block against loop What i notice: - i try to hit the right side of the ball more and have the racket high, but feels like elbow then almost get to close to the body? - Hit the ball a bit in front of me --> fast change between bh and fh but the arm is almost already extended so have no power...

Thanks for the feedback. I have played backhand a lot before by going up and down so i think i am partly more tense since i try force myself to go more back and forth. Will try to relax more in the future. I also think that if i could get racket head more towards my belly i will get some more...
