  1. Technique discussion fh topspin

    This advice about heavy push is better against weak people like children. Spinsight is correct. Do what your opponent hates.
  2. NO MORE HIDDEN TOSS. Give a try to the updated service rule.

    Is this your addition or ITTF's addition? With this addition, I can still hide the ball with my other hand.
  3. Reverse pendulum vs hook

    Difference muscles involved (and requirements). You see short pre-teen kids doing hook serves. I don't see short players doing reverse pendulum. And I see banana flickers doing reverse pendulum. This starts to explain the pattern. ////////////// You don't have to be TALL to do a reverse...

  5. I want opinions on my chances of pro

    there's a kid in my club, Leo Shao. He's 2175 usatt. Probably closer to 2200. I think he's 10 years old (I could be wrong). Both parents are coaches (Shao Yu and Taylor) And he didn't make the junior national team.

  8. Why do pros risk tossing the ball outside the 30 degree window?

    Actually I played against an old guy who did this. But the effect was in the opposite direction. He made his no spin serve look like it was backspin. I stood from the side after I saw him serve against my buddy. ///////////// As for the spinsight data, after adjusting to the new toss (because...
  9. Why do pros risk tossing the ball outside the 30 degree window?

    For the people who think it's about physics: That's 1% of the reason. I've tested with spinsight. It hardly matters. The 99% reason is for hiding your serve. Hide (most of) your arm. Hide (most of) your racket. The more you hide, the better. Don't pretend to be clever, talking about subtle...
  10. Finally tested Spinsight - What helped you to increase spin in your game?

    Just loop harder. /////////////////////////// For the people who think they are smart: Technical aspects: more racket speed use the fastest section of your swing wrist if you aren't using it already go to the gym racket angle close your racket, duh backswing bigger (against your coach's...
  11. Finally tested Spinsight - What helped you to increase spin in your game?

    The higher your max, the more you can vary. Example: If your maximum is 130 and your minimum is 100, my opponent needs to worry about 100-130. If my maximum is 140 and my minimum is 100, my opponent needs to worry about 100-140. Just from the spin, I have more variation than you. I...

  13. Overall Technique focus

    move your hitting zone more to the front Your hitting zone is very far back. Learn to hit forehands ahead of your face. This is some stupid "all lives matter" type of thinking. (i forgot you're not from the U.S. , whatever i'll leave this in) We all know both are important. You are just...
  14. Overall Technique focus

    every forehand is late. every loop against backspin is late. try doing it without letting the ball fall down a few centimeters (falling down a few millimeters is fine).

    I like the big mac idea. ////////// at my club NYISC, $90 per hour, or around 8.4 big mac meals per hr
  19. Butterfly Zyre 03

    He visits NYISC quite often (he's chosen the club as his semi-retirement location of choice). On average I see him once a week. He's balancing his practice and his health. He wants some exercise without hurting himself. //////////// Honestly, I've been noticing my rubbers dip in performance...
  20. Butterfly Zyre 03

    Started using Zyre on 2026-01-06. The black forehand topsheet already looks a bit worn out. The red backhand still looks good fine. I hit way harder on forehand, and recently I have been using forehand more (I'm a penholder). And I play about 3 times per week. Just serving backspin with...
