There wasn't a good tutorial in English about this, so I've decided to take matters into my own hands. I'm sure every penholder has experienced finger pains before, and some still have them when playing. I hope this video is helpful to the few of us who remain. Let me know if there's anything I...

So I've taken a few videos of some of my decent serves a day ago, and I've sent them to the Table Tennis Subreddit, along with the Table Tennis Discord Server. Different angle of view at 1:20 Slo-mo at 2:09 Any advice on how I can improve my serve farther is greatly appreciated. So far, I...

Hi everyone! I've noticed that top players extend their entire arm when attacking a slightly high ball close to the table, such as after a high serve receive. Some call it a "rocket forehand". I see them do the same when looping heavy backspin balls. So as a beginner, should I extend my arm...

Hi everyone! Alright, so I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. I'm a beginner at table tennis (playing for about a year now), and I'm a bit confused on which rubbers I should get sometime soon. A year ago, right before I began to become passionate for TT, I bought and assembled my own racket (Stiga...

Hi! I'm a late beginner penholder in table tennis. I want to hear all of your tips and advice on the forehand topspin. Please feel free to post anything that can be helpful. Thanks!

Hi! I have an outdoor table tennis table in my backyard and I use an IPong v300 with IPong catch net for practicing. My main problem is that it's a bit of a hassle to set everything up and take it down each session. Are there better alternatives? What robots are best for the price? What other...

Hi again! As a beginner penholder, I'm wondering if there are any differences, big or small, between forehand strokes of penholders and forehand strokes of shakehanders. Is there a certain micro-adjustment that advanced penholders use to make their forehand more powerful/consistent? Does the...

For the forehand topspin as a beginner, should I have my elbow bent at a 90-degree angle throughout the entire stroke, or should I start with my arm nearly straight?

Hi again! Does anyone know which throw angle (high, med high, med, med low, low) is the best for beginners? I'm a little confused since some people say that high throw angle is less controllable, and low throw angle is difficult to execute consistently.

Hi TTD Forum! Does anyone know where to get genuine National DHS rubbers? Specifically, Hurricane 3 or Skyline 3 blue sponge? I'm just curious if there's a foolproof way to obtain these.

Hi! I own an outdoor table tennis table that I use indoors since the weather last season wasn't good for table tennis. My family is thinking about bringing the table outdoors again since the weather is much better. The problem is that when we have the table outside, every time it rains, the...

So I'm fairly new to table tennis; I've only been playing for a couple months now, playing Chinese penhold. I've gotten used to using the traditional penhold backhand, and I'm learning to use the reverse penhold backhand. My grip is fairly similar to Ma Lin's, but with the thumb a bit higher to...

So I got a Neottec Katana for my RPB about 5 months ago, and I realized it was a bit too soft for it (med soft). Last summer, when I just started to practice, I was in China at a table tennis shop. The person who seems to be running the place recommended the 729 Focus 1 for RPB. The problem is...

Hi! I'm looking around in tabletennisdb.com and I wonder what exactly throw angle is. Is it how high the arc is or how close to parallel the ball trajectory is to the racket? Thanks for your time in helping me answer this question.

Hi everyone! I'm a C-pen player, and I'm wondering if I should have only the fingertips of the ring and middle fingers touching the back of the racket (like Wang Hao), or have them all flat out (like Xu Xin). The reason being is that I position the back fingers like Wang Hao (backhand...

So I've been playing the Stiga Allround Classic for a couple months now with 1.8mm rubbers on both sides for over 2 months now (I'm a beginner). I really like the SAC because it gives very clear vibrations whenever I make an offensive stroke. I plan to change my equipment after a couple months...

I'm thinking about getting the DHS TNT rubber for my BH. It says that it has more grip than tackiness. However, I'm hesitant to get it because it's not very popular and some reviews say it's not good. Does anyone know of this rubber? Thank you in advance.

Hey guys! I'm a Chinese penhold player who likes to loop the ball from short to mid-distance. My style fits the use of Chinese-style rubbers, and I plan to change my rubbers in a couple of months. As a beginner, I use 1.8mm rubbers on both sides for more control on my strokes. DHS Skyline TG3...
