Hopefully the video you've got will answer most questions! Very hard to offer advice without it :)

This is quite good, as it's pen hold as well..... Slow it down as much as you can (0.25 I think). Watch the connection to the ball at the start, and look how flat the bat is (flatter on Harimoto, but that's possibly the fact he's playing shake hold, and Xu Xin is playing a FH on the BH side).

The bat on your flat hit is still too angled. You are almost need to have it dead flat when connecting with the ball, and just sort of slap it through...... Also.... Relax. You are super tight trying to do it too perfectly. It needs to flow like a river.....

This is a point that I don't think is emphasised enough. It's very understandable why Ma Long is used as an example when showing technique, but unless you've been coached to a high CHINESE standard from a young age, his technique is not going to be the one that improves your game. It's too...

This statement/question needs a bit more context to be truly helpful. Hurricane 3 is clearly considered to be a "God level" rubber amongst casual fans who know a little about equipment. I mean, if virtually every single one of the best Chinese players uses it, it must be good.... Right...

Hey Dominik, I actually really like the top spin you are getting. In an amateur matches, spin beats speed every day. Some quick observations….. 1. Get lower. You are a big guy like me, and whilst you’ll never get as low as the shorter guys, you would still benefit from being a little lower...

Sounds good! I definitely think it's the right decision moving away from T05 and the TB ALC. Under usual circumstances, I'd say it would be 3-5 years before you would be looking to use that! The biggest mistake I find people make is that the rubbers/blade they use when starting out do too...

I’m just going to retreat back into this cave and not appear again for a while 😂 Yes, definitely thought you played table tennis previously! Ok, so let’s just ignore the vast majority of what I said previously. It’s a big generalisation, but an all wood blade with controlled rubbers are...

Morning Antse7en, I'm confused, which is very easily done on a Monday morning! What ages were you playing at a high level in the county scene? And how long did you play for until you stopped? I'm assuming you had coaching back then to get you to that level in the first place? How many years...

It depends if you are looking at it as an individual (Sergio), or a business who wants to keep an excellent reputation (SDC Blades). I’ve never disputed Sergio not being paid upfront and having the money. But if you remove the knowledge that we know Sergio is an excellent maker/person, and...

You obviously don’t ship much in the UK! I’d hazard a guess that over 1,000 parcels go missing every day over here. Some might eventually be found, but most get lost to the postal systems (often they aren’t stolen, just misplaced).

Yes and no. The courier is responsible as long as you insure the goods properly and use the correct shipping method. If you send a parcel on a 2nd rate service with little to no insurance cover, the seller has very little to cover them if the parcel gets lost. If the parcel was insured to...

In this day and age, I think you need to use a courier service that provides photo evidence of delivery. I work for a company who ships a lot of expensive items, and the amount of people who claim to never have received them is huge! But unless you have the full tracking details, and photo...

I think it’s worth remembering that “the people” is predominantly, Dan. A full time teacher in the UK! I have no inside knowledge of the set up, but I would be very surprised if TTD made any profit from their website and YT channel. If they do, I’d guess it was very small. The time and...

It’s hard to see if you are trolling, have just discovered the internet and forums, or you are intentionally trying to selective quote things to argue with…. But I’ll try and answer as much as possible for the benefit of the forum (apologies in advance, I’m on my phone so it’s going to be...

😂 I've not really read any of your other posts that I recall, and I'm not going to go looking for them. I don't like to assume either. Your comment about Tenergy made you seem like a very low level player - Which is absolutely fine, but obviously knowing that is helpful when discussing advice...

I’d be surprised if anyone knows for sure. But I have never once thought any company is “boosting” their rubbers from the factory like a player would “boost” their rubber at home. Anytime I see the rubber advertised as “boosted/tuned” or whatever, I always assume there is something in the...

As always, far more information is needed from all posters before anything close to a genuine answer is possible. @alfort, I have no idea of your level, playing style or technique. I can understand what you are saying about Tenergy if you really are on the lower/very low level of ability...

I know my answer is not going to please many people, but it's really for the future players who many stumble upon this thread in future. The differences between ALC, Super ALC, Innerforce ALC or any other "mainstream" OFF carbon blade is VERY SMALL. If you aren't of a very high level anyway...

Yeah I agree with you there. You can almost hit straight through the spin these days - Beforehand, you'd need to hit a genuine counter loop, which wouldn't have the same venom and out right speed.....
