Nothing wrong with flat hitting, especially if it is not all you know how to do: Here: this is for you Gozo: Matt Hetherington is amazing at slapping the eff out of the ball: That video is about 11 years old so, before Matt came to US. He may yell at me for posting this yet again. But I...

The quality of the footage isn't that great, but the match was incredible.

I think your comment is related to what I said above. I think, if you trained with someone who was like a wall and could put everything back so you were forced much deeper into rallies, you would start making those opportunities for yourself more frequently. So, if you trained it, I do think...

Your play is solid. It is too bad you don't have anyone to train with who is enough better than you so he could keep you in those rallies and make them longer so you had to work to win the points more tactically.....maybe someone who would force you to use a greater variety of returns of...

I would have said: "blue striped shirt". :)

Septear is a Hinoki blade. If changing the rubbers to rubbers with more control does not work, why don't you see if you can find a slightly slower, 5 ply ALL Hinoki blade. Darker 7p-2a is slightly thinner and may be a little slower. 7p-2a.7t would be thicker and faster. 5p-2a is not all...

He has posted many. Match play with multiple different people. Look for his threads and some of them are threads about play and improving. Here. This thread has a match: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/mz-match-video-more-opening-up.27749/

Anyway, it is an actual rule whether it is in the TT rules or the umpire's handbook of what they are supposed to respond to, your opponent can't talk, make noise, or otherwise distract you when the ball is heading towards you.

MZ (TensorBH) has presented plenty of video. We have an idea that he knows how to spin, his strokes are good, and his play level is fairly decent. He is definitely at a level where it would help him. Whereas, Gozo, we also know you are using equipment that is notably too fast for you, and...

Talking about the OP’s question: some of the consideration of whether changing equipment frequently will be good or bad for your development as a TT player depends on the level of the player and what things they would benefit from working on. If your technique is decently established changing...

NextLevel, do you still have footage of you doing the ball against the side of the table? I remember, 5-6 years ago, there was a bunch of people who tried and videoed themselves doing the ball on the side of the table thing in the Daily Chit Chat thread.

Just buy inexpensive Chinese equipment. It is pretty good and not as expensive as the stuff from major TT brands. And if you are already using equipment like what is listed on your profile: Stuor Long 5, 729 rubber etc....then used versions of the expensive rubbers likely won't be better than...

Sergio's blades look like art. There is an element of industrial efficiency to the design of the OSP blades that makes me happy to beat the heck out of them. I can't speak for any other blade. But my OSP Virtuoso Plus is the most solid and closest to indestructible blade I have ever used. I...

Well, now is your chance to get a truly large blade. Why not go for 210mm x 220mm? And you also get to choose the kind of glue you want for laminating and the specific plies and how thick you want them. :) Have fun designing your fantasy TT blade.

If you click on a specific blade, when you look at that blade, somewhere on the page, like below the photo of the blade, there will be a red button that says: "Order Now." When you click on that, you see the price.

I have a feeling that when you are able to demonstrate a little fraction of the control of the blade face that is shown by Marcos Freitas in the first several exercises in the video above, then you will be better positioned to talk about subjects that concern a higher degree of control in how...

You should contact them. I got them to make a blade that was not on their list of blades. I told them what I wanted, I told them specifics for each individual ply and the size of the blade. And they made it. I liked the Virtuoso Plus better than the custom blade they made me. But not by...

I was kind of hoping BrokenBall could make a video of him doing the first exercise Marcos Freitas does in the video above so we can see a little bit of that fine motor control he undoubtedly has over the blade face of his racket. If he can do any of the other exercises for developing control...

Talking between points is not the same as talking during the point while the ball is heading towards the player who is NOT talking.

What you are using might be fine for you. It might not. You might be able to judge well what is good for you. You might not. We would have a better idea if you posted footage of you using the equipment in question. If you can't post footage, use your judgement and decide. But if you post...
