  1. 19th Asian Games Hangzhou

    Just a question. Why are you holding Harimoto to such high standards compared to other players? You come across with a strange bias in your posts, which is fine of course, just curious where it's coming from? You speak with so much confidence on some of these things. But the truth is that you...
  2. Why are top players sometimes hitting a forehand with the left foot in the air?

    Yes, because you can also stand up straight and just rotate the hips/waist without using the leg muscles to push off. So isn't entirely accurate either imo. But there's always a trade-off with how much detail you can describe. I just like to know what to aim for and how to do it in what order...
  3. Why are top players sometimes hitting a forehand with the left foot in the air?

    I always found the term weight transfer misleading. You can literally stand straight up with no rotation and move your weight from one foot to the other. Will that help with swinging the arm using the legs and body? Just because weight moved from one foot to the other doesn't say that much. But...
  4. TAKING ON THE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS! | TTD Team vs Team Sweden

    It isn't team Eslöv though. Jon nor Pär play for Eslöv. It was just played there.

    The atmosphere in the hall.. :love::love:
  7. European Team Table Tennis Championships 2023

    We were so worried.. man the feeling was indescribable. We we're thinking if there's any point in even going to watch tomorrow if we lost. Things looked so shakey, Kristian kept serving long, serving high or having trouble with Majoros serve. His game is so much all or nothing. But he pulled...
  8. European Team Table Tennis Championships 2023

    I wonder if anyone on the planet has the feeling of Truls. Just a shame Kristian and Anton don't have some more of that. That said I can't believe how well Hungary are playing. It's like we're playing against China.
  9. European Team Table Tennis Championships 2023

    Watching these guys for real I don't see any lack of power from the euro side. Kristian Karlsson, for example, has insane power. Lin Yun-ju looks pretty elegant to me when he plays. And so does Ma Long, he looks more fluid to me than playing with as much power as Kristian. Truls may have...
  10. European Team Table Tennis Championships 2023

    I'll be there a few hours between Thursday to Sunday :D
  11. I wanna play with the big boys!

    This was what I was talking about in one of my posts. Some training environments (like some I've experienced) have such a focus on doing things in certain ways that another part of the game takes a big hit. This is why I show a fair amount of skepticism towards a lot of coaches. They're just...
  12. I wanna play with the big boys!

    I think of feeling as touching the ball in the right way, usually to produce spin in different ways. Feeling based shots seem to be more with the hand/fingers than using the body fully like a loop. If you can push a topspin serve short, that requires a good amount of feeling and in order to do...
  13. I wanna play with the big boys!

    I'm sure it helps, more time to have aha moments, more time to experiment, more likely to build better technique. Especially if you are heavily exposed to it and allowed to experiment and taught/shown how to spin yourself. Getting that right from an early age with good players around you that...
  14. I wanna play with the big boys!

    NL, what you're saying about multiball supports my experience. It's also why I think a lot of junior players struggle against players with more experience and feeling, even though they are doing a lot of things right technically. Just by chance I've had the opposite experience of that...
  15. I wanna play with the big boys!

    It's a guessing game to give advice on how OP can get from 1300-1500 without a video. Can only give general advice, don't think it will do that much in reality unless you're really motivated. @Tony's Table Tennis I hope you stay on the forum, you post a lot of useful content and it's good to...
  16. What’s your most satisfying moment in table tennis?

    Man that was an exciting match. Was Berg aware a bet was made against him before the match?
  17. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I have practiced I think twice now since the season ended. Lots of life stuff in the way, injury etc. My old training partner Nicky has been back over the summer. Finally a reunion. He hasn't practiced at all during his studies so he was a bit rusty at the start, but we soon enough got some...
  18. Producing side underspin on the chiquita

    Since English isn't his first language it isn't impossible that he could mean missing the net by hitting the ball into the net. I've seen something similar before.
  19. Producing side underspin on the chiquita

    I don't know if anyone has seen it, but the guy replied to someone's comment asking about this.
  20. Life, Existence, and the Meaning of Long Pips - The Opus Maximus of James Z

    No, this isn't true. And when I did play league it was just for fun as well, playing with a bunch of friends. I don't really enjoy competing. But I do enjoy hitting a table tennis ball on the table, no matter what circumstance and it's even more fun if done with friends or some nice teammates.
