By watching the ball, you should see the racket on contact and what is done to the ball. But while watching the ball, you do need to widen your scope so you also see your opponent. It is also important, while watching the ball "into your racket" on your shot, to be watching your opponent...

One of the issues with the question is, it assumes you can only watch the ball or the opponent. This is not tunnel vision watching. If you are looking away from the ball, that will mess with your focus as well. You should be able to watch the ball and to watch your opponent and his racket and...

I sent a link to this thread and the message to both Dan and the IT guy who does the technical work on the site. Dan hearing from individuals still be useful.

It is slow for me as well. I can send Dan a message. But you guys can as well.

Making real spin contact while blocking so it has spin like a loop but your barely moving your racket. I have never heard anyone put a name to it either. But I have seen people use it. And I definitely would rather block like that than flatter if someone is hitting heavy topspin at me.

If your goal is to get to be higher level, you might want to ask a different question: at the 2200 level, what are the offensive players doing? How about at 2300-2400? 2500? And if you already can block everything back vs people your level and below as though you were a wall, which skill...

All racket sports are largely about what your opponent does and whether they successful in limiting what you can do. You can look great in training. But in a match, if your opponent does not let you do what you want and is successful and pressuring you into giving him what he wants, very good...

I can't put words in someone else's mouth or really know what they meant when they said something. But traditionally, after your stroke, your reset should be fast enough that you are SET, IN A READY POSITION, and WATCHING your opponent, BEFORE your shot bounces on the other side so you are Set...

This video: If you just start at 4:44 you will see some of the sickest most evil random multiball training. But if you watch the whole video and have your brain geared to analyzing what skills ZJK is working on with each different drill you will learn a lot about how much higher level...

I have posted this video countless times when it comes to questions about how to translate training to actual skill in game scenarios: Watch the video several times and see if you can sort out some ways to translate the information about training the random element to training in Table...

This video is classic.

Your post was 1000% on point. And when someone can't handle playing against something like LP and want everyone to play with the equipment they choose, it is worth pointing out, the flaw is in the skills of the player who can't handle LP. Not the LP player or the equipment.

Aside from Igor looking like a fool, one of the upsides to a post like this is the people explaining how wrong Igor is. Jan_'s post: Is solid enough. But the post from yoass: Makes the silliness of Igor's post worth it. Once every few months does not seem like bombarding the forum...

Threads are now merged. I just was at work and could not get to it till now.

Tony, I think you were posting this as I was editing Lkhfly's post.

The post is over 6 years old. I am not sure why the photos I attacked are gone. But I definitely don't have the photos. The tool is a wood file. It is something like the photo I am attaching. One side is curved and the other side is flat. I could go to the closet, get the tool box...

And looking at it, MatthewAurelius44 has posted a fairly similar thread just under 2 months ago (August 26th). So, EJ playing for two years "and already have reached an advanced level." :)

Something seems off here. And not just what Kairos pointed out which does seem off as well: If you are an advanced player, why would you be asking other people for advice on equipment?

I think a lot of this is fair. But I don’t think it needed 24 posts and counting.

It is definitely good for your brain, your nervous system and body to work on playing both left handed and right handed. I would keep doing it. Unless you play in sanctioned ITTF tournaments, I doubt it matters much whether you are swapping hands when you feel like it, or using one racket in...
