    Could you give me some examples and numbers that dictate format? Thanks!
  2. Running a club

    Thanks! The ladder sounds good, and pretty much runs itself . Do I need anything to make it, or just use a dry erase board ?
  3. Running a club

    A set format for league play. We have tried open play before, but players seem to lose interest and end up being idle, or lost. We play one night a week from 6:00 est to 10 pm. i do all the things you mentioned in terms of administration, but open play has never been popular, or at least...
  4. Table tennis club format

    What is the best format to run a table tennis club? Round robin seems to burn people out, and is a lot of work from my experinece. I have thought about winner stays up, but first, a match against a league opponent (best of 5) to determine rankings. Eventually, every 8 weeks or so, the no. 1...

  7. Tactics against short pips penholder

    I want to learn how to play Jpen. Unfortunately, no coaching. If I do, should I play with short pips or smooth runber. I’m only about 1100 and may reboot my game
  8. My game needs serious help

    Thanks to everyone for the advice. No, I don’t think my footwork is good. Especially when I play a retriever player, drives me crazy. And I am looking into buying a new setup. But as someone mentioned, if I change my footwork, and get a new setup, could this really up my game? Here are some pics...
  9. My game needs serious help

    Yes, I think so. But do I go Seemiller, shake or Jpen? That’s really my issue. I have tried before to change grips, but unfortunately I always go back to my old setup. I wish I had a good coach that could just lay it all out for me, and I could go to work. People in my area, they just care about...
  10. What table tennis rubbers & blade do you use?

    Sardius fh: tacky Chop bh: super anti I play I modified Seemiller style, so I only use one side most of time (twiddle).
  11. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    Hi everyone! I thinking about completely changing my style and going Jpen. I have been using a grip that was unorthodox, thumb on the back of the paddle. I want to get to 1500-1600 USATT, and I’m about 1100 right now. Thanks
  12. My game needs serious help

    Local high school logo : ). I wish I did live in that area. Yeah, I see your point. Good suggestion about the long time off. We are set to go back Feb 6, but that may change again (it was Jan 4). My problem is that I never feel comfortable with the shake grip. It’s almost like trying to learn...
  13. My game needs serious help

    Thanks for your replies. It is really difficult to switch grips, as I’ve played with the thumb grip for over 30 years. I have been told to go with the Seemiller Grip, because it might be easier. How much do you think my current grip and setup is holding back my game? Thanks
  14. My game needs serious help

    Hi all! I have been playing table tennis for about 34 years. I’m currently 46. Started out with a smallleague that is still going today (but I’m Covid pause). I haven’t played in almost 1 year 1/2. I play with a Sardius (too fast, I know), with Tacky Chop on FH side, and Super Anti Butterfly on...
  15. Advice on how I should play

    Thanks for your advice! You make some very good points. He can get almost anything back, and I will work on getting a video clip of us play-I have one, but I’m not sure if we can post vid on here? My backhand is limited as I only play with one side..like a Seemiller grip. He hits fast, and...
  16. Strong Mind in the Match

    Does showing emotion in a match cause a player to lose focus? If you get a big point, should you get excited, or if you get frustrated after along a point, let out a sigh, or argggg! In some cases. Or is it best to just stay steady and show no emotion?
  17. Advice on how I should play

    I’ve been playing about 25 years consistently. Never have practiced much. People in my area don’t have access to coaching, training, unless they drive a pretty good distance. Anyway, I play with a Sardius, and have Bryce speed on one side, Tacky Chop on the backhand side. I play with thumb...
