Do you have a pic of what the shirt looks like? I'm 90% sure we'll go down the printing route as the shirt is very lightweight.

Hey TTD family! We are getting new shirts (and jackets) for next season, and have the option of our logo being printed, or embroidered. The upside to printing is comfort. That’s it. The downside to printing is how long it’ll last before the logo starts to peel off, and the fact that the...

Nope - For some reason they've geo locked it!

Hey Matt, What sort of level do you play at? Do you have any practice video of you playing?

I managed to get a bit of practice in yesterday. Although I'm terrible at practicing drills and we usually hit for about 15 mins before doing some match practice! Here are some of the points from my first partner. He has short pips on his red side. It was the first time I'd ever played him...

There is one big reason stopping those shots from being a classic 3rd ball attack...... And that is the fact it's the 5th ball 😂 The 2nd video would have been hard to attack as it hit the net on the serve return. But the first video was there to attack if you had a confident backhand loop...

Don’t neglect those legs! 😂 Getting low is a weakness of mine (especially in matchplay). When I really focus on staying low, my shot % improves dramatically. I’m 6ft 4, so it’s a long way to go! 😂

In an extremely rare turn of events, I actually had a little practice tonight rather than a league match. I think the last time I practiced was before Covid, as I'm usually playing one or two league matches per week, and don't get other time to play! Anyway, I just wanted to put a little video...

There is a lot more to unpack here than how it appears on the face of it. The biggest question has to be..... Is the rating relevant? Are you overlooking the style of the opponent? I can beat some very high ranked players, and then lose to lower ranked players (who can't beat the high ranked...

I'll reiterate a little of what I said to Gozo in a DM. It all comes down to your strengths. From memory, Gozo was quite backhand dominant a few months ago, so Der's advice would have been spot on. However, from recent videos, Gozo is much stronger at initiating the attack when it's on his...

The ability to really hit good loops against backspin is to start low, and explode through the ball at the point of contact. But that's a very advanced technique really, and not one that many people can do successfully. I still think you should continue to focus on spin and not raw power. As...

Excellent! Personally, I find watching that so much more valuable than seeing you hit balls at a million miles per hour! A couple of pointers from me. If you want to improve, you need to hit shots. There were a huge amount of your serves that he couldn't get back (usually pushing them in the...

Yo yo Gozo..... You learn more from your losses than you do from your wins. As a player looking to improve, it's a great position to be able to look back and analyze where you can improve. However, I think it's very easy to highlight numerous issues, and then the advice just becomes...

Do you have any video of your matches? I know this will divide opinion, but I really feel people underestimate match technique, in favor of "perfecting" the little things when practicing (with humans or robots). There are a lot of players who would look amazing on camera - Fantastic forehands...

This entirely depends on your height. The taller you are, the wider your stance should be to give you a balanced footing when getting low. Generally speaking, the lower you are, the better (within reason!) But if you struggle to recover from a low position, I would find the lowest position...

From the very little I saw, your style is suited to doubles. You seem to block very well, and you can keep the ball on the table. If you are paired with a player who is comfortable opening up and has good attacking shots (and your partner certainly looked like that), I can imagine it's a good...

I've personally not found that to be the case, but I guess it's all relative. My goal is to change the rubbers after 6 months to tie in with the major events in the UK. That is normally in September, just before the league starts (which runs through to March/April), and again in...

Awesome stuff! Appreciate it was only a few points, but the ability level of the doubles looked to be a bit higher than the singles I've seen you play in. Is that the case? Or is it deceptive?

This argument has been had many times, but it’s worth repeating for those who may not have seen it. It all comes down to one thing for me. “Performance longevity” The reason I added “performance”, is because all rubbers will last many years if performance wasn’t a consideration. But the...

That’s a bit far fetched for my tastes (although I understand what you are trying to say). As ever, more context would be useful. What sort of practice are we talking? Serve? Matchplay? Robot play? I would agree with Mocker that 99.9999% of the time, practicing on a rubbish table is...
