  1. Help my boredom—— QnA thread

    Maybe the culture is changing? I think it is difficult for Sweden to compete with Asia since not many parents want to sacrifice education due to tabletennis and education is highly valued so not so good careerchoice to choose to almost just play tabletennis. I think some almost do not go to high...
  2. Advice to play against 2000+ player?

    FIrst, always play with your strengths and second, adapt to their weakness/style of play. Edit: Like someone said about hidden strengths. Loops do not matter, serve and return always is the difference between a good player and an even better player.
  3. Help needed: How to deal with soft / no spin / minimal spin short ball

    Alternatives: - No spin short ball you need to slice on the side with the right side of the racket ponting upward to play short - flip - If the ball is longer in game play you can do a step in Serves: - get more underspin in the serve, very difficult for the opponent to push short - Serves...
  4. Stiga Cybershape

    A friend of mine that have played a really high level tried it(he got it for free). He went back to his Primorac Carbon. As long as the blade is hard enough, as i believe it is it will work fine with short pimples. What do you use now?
  5. Question for people with decent BH topspin

    As a part time coach for many years i think it could be diffiuclt to think about what muscles to tense when playing. I do think it could be good if you are leaning forward with the upperbody a bit like a monkey. I also think there are many ways to play the backhand and very individual to how...
  6. Advice how do I break through my current level ceiling?

    I have not read the whole thread but from the OP you give us almost nothing about how you practice and how much. Providing that would help you get helpful answers. I would say play a lot of games, notice what you win at and lose at. Then try to practice what you use in a real game, the other...
  7. Video Footage Safe Thread

    @loerting Tabletennis is a technical sport, but too much focus on it i believe will hurt your game. As long as you get good ball quality and it is functional for your style of play then it is good. I have also noticed as a part time coach for many years that earlier in my coaching career i was...
  8. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Nice to hear that it is going better. I often find that you give a player to much advice and it just becomes to difficult to focus. If you are you working on the change between forehand and backhand i think this exercise is good but i do not think you are practicing footwork. I also think you...

  10. Defence with Short Pips Advice

    I have a friend that used to use long pimple but are now using a thin sponge spectol. He find it much more difficult so he is not as safe but i feel he get more spin and variation.
  11. Looking for high arc rubber

    Rakza Z went up, up and up again in my opinion.
  12. Reasons why I switched from short pips to inverted rubber

    Much easier to use inverted. A better rubber overall in my opinion, much more forgiving. Short pimple is good if you are really good at flathitting. Good luck with your change.
  13. Backhand improvement, and advice

    Hey! i think it is easier if you post a video. Difference from backspin: - close the angle more - go back and forth, so drop the racket less - the ball comes faster to you? so less time, can not do as big of a stroke Other tips: - Move the legs, so you can do the same stroke all the time -...

  16. WTT Star Contender Doha 2022

    Karlsson injuried?
  17. Heavy or Light for looping?

    Do not really know what chinese style is, but i am pretty sure that they are not famous for slow spinny loops. I agree that it is good to be able to loop first one spinny, but still if you are forehand dominant, with the plastic ball and china rubber(?) then maybe you can have main focus to play...
  18. Switching to double short Pips

    I think short pimples is misunderstood. Much more difficult to become good compared to inverted. Less margin for error and need to move well. A short pimple rubber with grip would be smart.
  19. Head size and form of the blade?

    Hello! I think i have rather long fingers and sometimes i feel like my forefinger are to long for the rubber. I understand that the most common width is 150 but some blades is 152 cm? will i feel any difference? Are there other blades with bigger head size that are for offensive players...
