Tested this and it worked really well! First time it was so easy to get rich topspin from just the fingers lol. The good thing is that i can actually do a pretty nice FH topspin flick off a short ball and i can even make it rather short or long. Usually i default to the push flick (which is...

I have a general plan esp for serve and receive, but after the rally starts it has to be just instinct because it is just too fast....

Yes this general principle is correct, but where exactly do you apply pressure and how does it contribute, is the key item here. Some ways are a lot less efficient than others. And in real matches, every bit of efficiency helps a lot because real opponents are always jamming you and making you...

No, this is a significant upgrade over the typical method because both fingers are involved in generating the rotational force not just 1. I learnt this finger 'secret' from Ti Long a long time back for the BH loop. So both the index finger and thumb work together (they are on opposite sides of...

Recently i am looking a bit more into the use of the fingers during the FH loop / counterloop to make spin production even more efficient (for eg. when people BH punch the ball down the line and you dont wanna give up the close table) So with BH i have the 2 finger method (side of thumb...

Join the Viscaria gang lol, the perfect blade for BH bang bang games

Adding to this. I learnt from Truls' approach which is very interesting because he also gives this guessing game back to the server. So if you can only BH loop it with a lot of spin, then the opponent only needs to prepare for 1 return ie topspin. But you can do a 'fake loop' ie touch the ball...

I feel like there is just way too much problems with fake movements that I try to focus on the "vibe" of the ball lol which can only be obtained by lowering eye level to close to net. Reading the racket movement is just too difficult (esp with tons of people who hide serves esp with...

Yeah it was really quite interesting indeed coz it was literally the 1st 2 hrs playing. She actually can generate some fairly decent topspin with a largely arm only FH stroke with the Viscaria + D05 setup but tbh i think it looked too funky (due to complete lack of body usage) so I think slower...

Ok my wife also started learning to play recently and I managed to coach her to actually play a serviceable intro BH antispin game (my aim is anti pushblocking + a nasty FH loop combo LOL because it is the easiest shortcut) using my spare racket. Unfortunately, my D05 on FH is just way, way...

Honestly, there is too much ego crap in table tennis (i see it in real life too) and people caring way too much about ratings instead of actually enjoying the process about playing the sport and improving. This is why I grew to really dislike TT culture (even though I actually enjoy playing and...

I think 1400-1500 RC is probably about 2000 USATT... but beyond or below that i dont think it is a strict 'add x number for RC to USATT' because that also doesnt make a lot of sense for a lot of the players i see.

No way. I know a legit retired CNT provincial player and he was just at RC1700-1800. He would smoke all of the USATT 2000 players off the table, no questions about it. But yeah the RC system is probs quite messed up so the correlation isnt all that stable.

Tbh, @dingyibvs you are doing something that is way harder than what i initially said, which is what @Archosaurus put together in bad faith in order to protect his fragile ego. I was talking about a decent long spinny push off a sidetopspin service, not short push which is obviously much...

No way they cant push your topspin serves back if they know it is topspin. I play regularly with guys of that level - they can literally push everything. Even guys way below that level can. It is basically an over the table stroke so it is not a chop (like a Joo Se Hyuk chop). Your terminology...

Lol this guy, i never even said anything about short push (which is basically a bad faith extrapolation), just basic pushing long and low with heavy underspin vs everything which is basic af... even when i was playing 10 years ago as a beginner i could already do it lol. It is really not rocket...

The goal is to develop, not win some unimportant match just for the ego's sake. The net height requirement is of course important because this shows your precision, pushing quality and understanding of spin. This exercise is also a footwork test because in order to maintain consistency, you...

Yeah not just that but create lots of funny memester content. This is also where a lot of successful channels operate. I feel it requires a bit of a certain personality to work unfortunately.

Tbh online content is now all about the memes, you just cant be too serious these days. Everyone is time poor and too stressed up with hardships everywhere that pretty much only memes can 'hit the spot' now...

Wtt with their side angle - vomit!
