  1. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Always easier to point out the bad things but forget to say the good things. Good: - amazing to practice while your country are in war! - High racket all the time - Very consistent - Seem to get good spin - I think the strokes with the arm looks pretty nice Room for improvement: - move...

    Can brush upward or over the ball. Upward often more against backspin and over the ball more against topspin. Could be easier to hook on the right side at the ball against no spin/topspin. Spin comes from snapping the forarm together, relax and tighten. Try these tips: - Try pressing the thumb...

    Really need to practice against it and against different rubbers, there are different pimples. Will also get easier when you learn spin more. If you play choppers that get a lot of backspin it is much easier if you do this: - bend the legs like you are almost sitting on a chair then stand up...

    I think technique is very relative and subjective. Not much right and wrong, more like guidelines. If you get good quality in the ball and it suits your game then it is good. With elbow i think it is good to have out at the side. I think Ma Long and many others that play tempo on the backhand...

    No, you misunderstood. I want your elbow stuck on the table to learn that the elbow should stay still. Can practice this on kitchen table or sitting on the toilet. So have elbow still and use it as a pivot, so stop moving the elbow. More focus on using arm less and body more in the beginning...

    Try putting your elbow down on the table and play backhand, that is the correct stroke. Try moving the table closer to the wall so you can not swing the arm so far behind you. Try have the arm in front and turn the hip so the arm goes back. Do not need to have the arm behind your body. Keep up...

    @PenHoldSandro Forehand: It looks like you are trying to open up, almost like showing your groin for someone around one a clock. It also looks like you are turning the body. Both are good! I do think you are using way to much arm now in the beginning. Better to think that you are cold and have...
  8. Challenges with my looping on my forehand

    Need to post a video! In general i think: - need to play forward. If you play upward and make more power, the ball just goes more upward. - take the ball at the highest point, then you can play forward. If you let the ball drop under the net you are forced to play more upward.
  9. First Time Penholder: Help me out!

    I think fast change from bh to fh is most difficult, especially in just blocking. I think pressing the thumb is important here.
  10. Tomokazu Harimoto INSANE Table Tennis Training 2025!

    I think his forehand looks so strained compared to many other asian top players. Like his arm need to be relaxed and extended a bit. Really impressive intensity and backhand at the bounce.

    It is impressive that you are still working hard! I think your forehand stroke with mostly are are more suited toward short pimples. Hard to change if you have played long but getting som body in the stroke will benefit you long term. Try holding the arm still and think you are freezing then...

    Need to be somewhat agressive with short pimple and i think it is good for further developement that you are trying to play aggressive. Some tips: - doing one one exercise would get you some stability - with the short pimple: either take it very early and just hold or closer to highest point...
  13. How would you define a Pro?

    Can play for a living, bu I just think mostly about the attitude. Hobby players complain so much about training with worse players, i believe pros makes the best of it.
  14. First Time Penholder: Help me out!

    I have played shakehand for like for over 20 years, tried penhold last 4 months. Play at least as well now, maybe better. I think the basics are very similar to shakehand. Most difficult for me was closing the racket angle on forehand, important to push with thumb and turn wrist. For backhand i...
  15. Recordings of me playing with my senior

    -Get down in the knees and stay low - make body like you are freezing, more compact - you have the biggest backswing in forehand stroke i have ever seen. Try to have the arm more still in beginning and make the arm go back by moving the body. So arm is almost always in front of body since you...
  16. First Short Pips FH suggestion

    Better to change if you have a good smash, not being a bad looper. I think that if yuu have half long pips on your backhand will the opponent loop but also push a lot. Looping with a short pimple will not get good quality. Maybe enough, depending on your level. And maybe they loop more at a...
  17. Having trouble attacking down the line with Backhand - any tips? (pic included)

    If you hold forehand grip this is much harder. Also much more difficult if you get rushed or/and the opponent plays hard. So try to read the game. Also play more to the their middle. If you play deep backhand and they get the angle back deep backhand, the angle for playin straight is not good...
  18. Advice for backhand rubber

    Try training more instead, maybe it will get better. A long as the rubber have grip.
  19. Best alternatives to Dignics 09C?

    I have tried; Rakza z: the arc is way to high, crazy. But good durability. Hybrid K3: last like three weeks. Joola golden tango: lasted pretty long and pretty okey. Glayzer 09c: very slow. Nittaku turbo hurricane blue: really hard for the backhand, need to booster alot but pretty good and...
  20. How to chop competently

    I think right leg a bi infront, turn up the whole body, have the racket high and extend elbow. I believe most important part is the use the whole body, only arm is no good. There are videos with joo see heuk explaining the stroke. Message again if you looked but did not find any.
