Oh yea, I have the same issue. It took me many months to start remembering to loop with my BH, and that's with significant focus on using my BH loop in game situations. I've noticed that there's no point in focusing on technique during game situations, things happen too fast for you to remember...

Ha, tell me about it! It always feels like 2 steps forward 1 step back. Just today, I felt that my BH went back to an overly brushy stroke after spending the past couple of weeks focusing more on improving my FH. At least it was fairly quick to switch it back. FH though is still an ongoing...

After boosting it needs to be played for a bit to be broken in. It plays like trash before that happens.

As always, I'm working on a boatload of things. My coach says that my BH technique is now better than my FH technique, especially when I'm made to move, so I'm redoubling my efforts to perfect my FH technique. Main things are: 1) Do NOT backswing with the arm or the body, backswing with my...

That makes sense, perhaps I was just overdoing it. I've still played a good amount the past couple of days, but just taking it a bit easier, and doing my typical more intensive self-care regimen for whenever I have a minor injury. Seems to be working pretty well, it barely hurts now even when...

Mine's kinda weird, it's over the medial epicondyle, which would be golfer's elbow. The TT motion that's more similar to the trailing arm of a golf swing would be FH, but my practice has been much more focused on the BH. Maybe the issue is more that I'm just gripping more tightly after my...

He'll need a lot of training though. I think he recently played and streamed a match against Yu Heyi and he lost 4-2. Granted Yu did beat LJK and pushed FZD to 5 games in the Chinese national games.

A good piece of FZD ALC is really awesome. I'm thinking of switching back to it after my current rubbers wear out next month. I've been transitioning to a more compact motion on both sides, so I think the FZD will suit me better. It's just really hard to hit into the Q968 except with...

I think it depends. If you're developing a set of technique, it's probably a good idea to keep the variables to a minimum, kind of like how you probably don't wanna EJ while you're focused on revamping your game. I think if there's one venue that you're very comfortable with, then venturing...

Sounds like not the best week for us TTDers :eek: I had a bad day at the club too. Went to the club with Butterfly tables, and I just can't adjust to it quickly. So many whiffs, and even against blocks I have no confidence to re-loop, which is usually bread and butter for me. Lost every...

Whoa, you guys have a Pongbot on rails now?

Yeah, Hurricanes really need for you to commit on every shot. It's pretty tiring to play with it. But the plus side is that if the incoming shot has a lot of energy it becomes much more controllable in comparison. I counterloop way better with Hurricanes, the extra dwell really lets you...

Went to my regular club today, had another solid day. Won all my matches, but most importantly, won a lot of points with my BH. People were surprised, they were like "whoa, you're using the red side now?" :ROFLMAO: I got progressively more comfortable as the night went on, and my BH shots got...

To expand on the technique changes on the BH side, I've found that the most useful is all the hitting practice. I used to start my motion as sort of a windshield wiper motion, trying to brush from behind the ball, then add more hitting as needed. Now I'm starting my motion more like a backhanded...

I went back to the same club today, this time brought my regular racket. Near the end of the session played some singles. First against a guy who's been a bit better than me, I think I beat him once 3-2, but lost a few times 3-1 and 3-2. I beat him 3-0 this time and it felt pretty easy. I...

It's probably timing that's messing you up the most at this point. When I came back from my leg fracture I felt that was the most difficult. I had my first couple sessions just against my robot, felt I got the timing back, then I went to the club and it was another huge adjustment. For every...

After the recent weeks of practice, I think I'm starting to get pretty good with the whole BH stroke. I can whack the ball pretty nicely now, with solid timing, footwork, and overall form. When I do drills with the robot I would start by just pure hitting, it's kind of like if you were to...

We sure are! I just had a super long session at the club, 5 hours, starting with a 1 hour coaching session. I always spend most of the time working on the basics, there seems to always be some room for improvement. On both sides I tried to work on a slight grip change mentioned in my previous...

Had a training session yesterday with my now 2 training partners (they come to my place back to back). On the FH side I worked on using a smaller motion mostly. I also tried to fine tune my backswing a bit, load my right leg a bit more and rotate to the right a bit more. It took a bit of time to...

At the clubs where Butterfly tables are used I usually don't get a good warmup either, so that might contribute, though the balls I have the most issues with is probably the opening up. Sidespin especially destroys me as they curve so much more than I expect on the sticky tables. Tomorrow I'll...
