Off topic of level up to play the 1500's a bit Is the first guy really an amateur like everyone here? I honestly would say no sorry. Just because of the forehand and stroke level. It's obvious hopefully..... I think they will have played at a high level at some stage to be playing against these...

FF33 I would say put yourself in at the deep end as much as you can with the setup you play with to start. See how it goes.... and fix the things you can in focussed training with players/coach/mentor. If you can move ok for age/bodytype etc then that's good. If you are a bit more limited then...

Irregular drills are great and keep you thinking on your feet. Serve, receive and the first 2-3 ball can improve results quiet a bit. Sometimes a simple well placed touch return can really open up the next stroke and put a player on the front foot.

Lots more!

The takeaway from it is graft my socks off some more :)

Actually the lad I was training with is playing in it this season a few times for one of the clubs.

Trained pretty hard last night and feeling it today...... 2.5 hours of really solid level play. Trying to keep up and get ready for the new season which is coming up rather quickly it would seem!. Will need to work on service recovery quite a bit more to hold that level when the matches start...

I have 3 potential options: Victas v15 limber Tenergy 05fx Butterfly Rozena Looking at your Sig using 05fx I guess on your backhand sounds a good move. Out of the 3 rubbers 05fx will be familar. D05 is also a good option. Very solid backhand rubber along with D80. What did you want from the...

Good point NL. "Part of what makes the ball difficult is that many of these contacts are below the table so the returners are underestimating how much chop there is on the ball" These type of strokes and there addition into a rally are change up strokes almost if that makes sense.. If you don't...

Trying to increase table time for younger players is key I think as others have said. Building good foundations on techniques can be hard with limited time. 1-2-1's very benifit the players. Kudos for putting in the work IB66.

Topspin Drive, spin and smash. (non hulk! Working on that still .. 😊 ) definitely not the classic 2 winged looper.

K3 on BH for a long time now and very happy with it will have to say. Touch, return and spin all very solid. Blocking and counter topspin.drive and spin topspin is very good. It's not the fastest rubber but there are always trades. ...

There's quite a close connection to table tennis and MMA/Fighting arts I think. Both require extreme discipline, good technique and power, along with hours and years of hard work and dedication to get to the top or even close to it. Both are great sporting events and to see people going at it in...

These are some of the things that have worked for me over time. Try to stay level headed and grounded in the now. Try not to over expect an amazing performace. It's not the world championships... Work the problems that are presented in the game not how you would like to play. Sometimes winning...

A damp towel or paper to try and get grip on your shoes can be a good idea...... It can help but still can sit in the mindset. Especially if you almost take a tumble. There aren't that many to be honest especially arena sized venues. Sports centres can be another story mind.

It's funny you say that. I have a Halex and TSP which only last month I hit with for a bit with one of the guys I practice with. The weird thing is how small it looks to a "normal" ball to be honest. It's like oh ...wow... really! Next I'll dig out the Tip Top Bike glue and my old Kenny...

38mm anyone.......... ? Suddenly feeling older..... :cry:

Just didn't expect it from you. All good my friend. lets get back to TT.

I wouldn't normally comment of this but there's quite a bit of negative thought in that statement above that was written. Unexpected to be honest.... This place and users are normally quite light hearted... as well.

Yikes does it has nails or tacks in the blade ?
