@NextLevel You know my level and experience with equipment so take this with a grain of salt, but that looks like a flat hit and not a loop to me. Have you tried to brush more on your backhand, or is there some reason not to?

When talking about chassis performance and feeling, Lamborghini is not exactly the first thing to come to mind. The engineers know the cars are gonna be driven by rich people who can't drive worth anything, so they understeer like hell and are too safe for their own good allegedly. I thought...

I would avoid leaning back like that and avoid extending the arm so far to your side on the followthrough. From personal experience, those things will eventually make your upper back give out from all the twisting and turning: especially with how hard you're swinging. I think people would tell...

@NextLevel Thank you for filming and uploading the games played in your leagues. I was just now watching a new video and realized that most of the amateur table tennis I've seen on video can only be seen because you film it.

If the blade sells like water in a desert, why don't they keep making and selling it? No profit return or what?

@UpSideDownCarl To me, a hook is a sidespin shot with the forehand that curves to my LEFT, as a right-hander. Grabbing the ball from the outside-right side with my wrist down. Is that right?

THE HAMMER sounds like something Der_Echte would make.

I'm sure you can see, but that's a sidespin stroke. Not exactly a standard topspin shot.

@nas3to I knew you were using Chinese tacky rubber the second you swung. Very good.

Instructions unclear, solvent was not very tasty when ingested.

@spinner24 Congratz, you've found out that no-spin variation is good. Now go and learn how to make your heavy backspin look like no-spin, and your no-spin look like heavy backspin. No rubber change required!

Trained with my dad today. 2nd session of the week. A ton of stuff that I worked on half a year ago are falling into place now. I haven't taken video to confirm, but I think my strokes are now more or less where I wanted them: but even better! Swinging is so relaxed when you learn not to tense...

"Haha, got you sucka, now you've improved and there's nothing about can do about it!"

Doesn't it matter A LOT where and how fast you contact the ball anyway? For example with a more side-on stroke you can hit into topspin with a more open angle, as opposed to when you're blocking very heavy topspin and need to close the angle a lot. So this kind of advice might not be the big...

If they're real coaches, I would shut up and listen. If not, well, take it or leave it. I would always leave "SPIN THE BALL MAN".

No, tacky rubber does not generate more spin. Where the hell has this idea come from? Maybe in the hands of a very good player it has more potential, but mechanically it generates LESS spin, because more energy is used to get the ball off the bat in the first place. That is why people have...

@Baal I've never played very close attention to this, but I'll pay more attention next time I train.

I knew the whole physics behind it, but I didn't know that it makes THAT much of a difference. What exactly is happening differently when the ball hits the sweetspot compared to when it doesn't? Is the blade just harder there?

@UpSideDownCarl Carl, I don't know why, but YouTube is recommending me this: Category: Comedy :rolleyes:

That's interesting. To me it feels like I'm hitting near the middle, maybe even closer to the handle sometimes. Never payed attention to this. Is it so important?
