  1. My setup feels like a literal ROCK after trying this one

    Maybe carbon VS all wood blades makes a different in arc aswell?
  2. Next area to focus on improvement

    I think it is important to play against a lot of different opponents so playing a league and tournaments would be great to learn to return well. But again, what do you want for a ball? a "good return" for me do not have to be a "good return" for you. I also believe it is good to try to never do...

  4. Next area to focus on improvement

    I think you will develop more if you try to find you style of play, know your strenghts and practice those and ways to get them in a match. I think it is easy to become somewhat good at everyhting with your mentality and not so great at anything. I like to tell my players that it is like to...
  5. Next area to focus on improvement

    WRONG FOCUS! What are you good at? work more on those. Then find ways how to serve,return and play to get to your strenghts and practise on those. Good luck.
  6. I want to try short pips, what racket should I build for this?

    I think it is very individual when people change to pips. I think in general inverted rubber is a better rubber because you can create spin and arc which give you safety. Therefore, it is better to change if you are really good at smashing and not bad at looping. I also believe it is wise to try...
  7. I want to try short pips, what racket should I build for this?

    Personally i think it is better if you are really good at punching and smashing with backhand and change to short pips for that reason, not that you are bad at looping. There are better blades than Acoustic and Sweden extra. Try a 7 ply all wood or carbon blade. Consider how you want to play...
  8. Video Footage Safe Thread

    It goes better and worse for everyone 😀 I also think that the better you become, the harder it will be to feel that you are developing. I would think about: - playing style and idea. Need to know what you are good at, then serve and return so you get that play. Without this it more luck if...
  9. Changing long pimples

    Try a thin Victas Spectol. Probably more inconsistent with short pimples but easier to create your own spin. Hou Yingchao can become your new idol! :)
  10. Tactics Against Player with Long Arms

    Still think pocket is probably the best placement since the player is a "blocker" so i assume he is not running forehand and instead stay and play backhand. Towards the corner and he do not need so much. If he played forehand all over the table more i think the corners would be a better...
  11. Tactics Against Player with Long Arms

    Pocket, pocket, pocket!
  12. Do you use overgrip on your blade handle?

    I change a bit. Feel like it is easier to hold loose but agree that it feels a bit dampened. Maybe it depends on the grip and how it is made? i try to have a thin layer.
  13. Liang Jingkun suspended

    I think factors like: - other sports have become more popular. Before everone played tabletennis but people are playing more other sports today. - Better economy and standard of living. If they still can get a proper life standard today without becoming a tabletennis pro i think the motivation...
  14. Why would you use short pips?

    Inverted rubber is much safer since you can create an arc by generating spin and get more marginal for error. Need to move better and time better with short pimples since you ae not able to create the arc. Would say that inverted rubber is basically a better rubber and is a better option for...
  15. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Prove to them that you can study effective and get good grades despite practicing more. I do not think they have any problem with you practicing, they are just afraid your grades will drop. It is possible to practice everyday if you study effective.
  16. FH topspin generations

    I do not think they have more perfect loop than anyone else(relative to good pros). Compared to players frome europe i think they just are much much better at moving and keeping balance so they are able to loop well. I think in general players before had heavier forehand loops? more forehand...
  17. Loop arc height over the net

    - get lower in the legs AND - more open angle - loop more up to make the ball go higher OR -close angle - brush more - use forearm more to get more spin, and therefore more arc
  18. Lower level player using Butterfly ALC and Tenergy?

    I think you can get good results in the moment but your development will suffer and probably worse results in the future.
  19. Why would you use short pips?

    after you have learned the fundementals as counter and stroke, if you are still better and more natural at hitting flat and smashing then it could be an alternative. Make a strength better. Not knowing how to loop is not a good reason.
  20. How to play against Short pimple rubber ( especially killer )

    - Short pimple stroke often have a bit of underspin in it --> loop a bit more upward - short pimple is alot about timing and can only hit at the highest point so need to move more --> play with more variation - less spin with short pimple, so open against backspin is difficult --> serve and push...
