You have probably won under 21 state titles already and or senior titles I guess?. We have similar County titles over in the UK. You will probably make regional champion as well U21 and then senior easily. Especially with the high top end ceiling you say you have and the great quality in...

You are very confident indeed.... which will hopefully drive you to work even harder on your fledgling game to make it to national titles etc in the future or even play internationally once and if you get the level up.

When you say obliterate anyone below 2100usatt regardless. what's your actual playing level 2400-2500 or even higher? or is this just a throw away comment or term of phrase to you might not lose to anyone much lower rated but have. The Dignics range is a strange breed I think. The newer...

Cheers for the thoughts on the blades and rubbers. Always find it interesting on playing level and equipment.

I've always been curious about a selected blade or the special production blade. Like being heavier or even with a different construction. At the league level you play at does it actually make much difference without the skill of the player (CNT member or serious paid team player) that they...

SkySowers with playing nationally at a pretty high level your rating must be pretty high in the US. Where abouts are you training and how does the level compare?. Hopefully you manage to train and keep a good level. Cheers

UK has a varied system for sure. Here's a basic breakdown. I'm sure I will have missed something but it's a start for you. There's (Small area) local leagues as explained by KMTT above pretty well. Great fun to play and good matches. Weekly matches. (Larger area) County matches where the...

Used D05. Good rubber but out of the packet it's slower and more controlled than a T05 or one of the speedy ESN hard rubbers thats for sure. Touch is very good and at the table you get a good feeling of bite on the ball but agree with the away from the table throw and speed means things really...

Cheers and many thanks. Let me drop you a PM in a bit and let's have a chat about sorting a few. All the best.

Thats a cracking design :) ..just take my money! ..Nice job on that really cool. Those shirts are really nice as well. great quality. Anywhere sell them in the UK BTW?

M1 or Z1 both solid backhand rubbers.

Grigoriy Vlasov is a very strong player indeed and was on the ITTF Tour up till 3 or 4 years ago if memory serves. I remember him playing Jang Woojin in an ITTF final at that time or around then. Rating ..lots and lot better than most of us and some!.

The blocker is tricky 100% for the tactics you played you are right. From looking at the video he gives you a heavy push return at your hip quite a bit waiting for the spin then a floaty or flat block return. Then little spin next ball and you dropped back a bit which made life tricky. I bet if...

Maybe try and get good quality regular practice and drills with players who are better than you or a coach who can brush up your shots and then supplement it with good quality and level practice. Try and make the game simpler for yourself if you can to start with. Try and use the good tools...

Taking your time and working the point with a bit more thought would have won the match I think as well. Also adjusting to the changes in spin from his backhand and forehand quickly would have put you on the front foot in most of the rallies. Sometimes playing a defender is more about game plan...

Good video NL - Only had a quick look but The one thing I see is the misread of the float ball pretty well all the time putting it long. Almost like you were expecting a much heavier ball returned.

Keyser Söze!

If you ever need a practice partner(s) down the club drop me a PM and I'll see if i can't come down with a few of the other county players

Thats totally the right way of thinking. Do Sandra and Lee still coach at the club btw?.

Malcolm (Ryans Dad) is quite right about staying in an attacking mindset. One thing I might say which I hope you don't misunderstand is Ryan is a 1st division senior british league player and is still a bit above your level to be honest. This said you are aiming and thinking totally correct that...
