Lately, I see an abundance of threads in TTD where posters ask for advice on equipments and technique without any video evidence of their playing level. While I absolutely feel that one is entitled to their privacy and my suggestion to such people is that they are better off consulting with a coach who can actually see them playing. While not all coaches are equipment junkies or know a lot about equipment and are sometimes partial to their sponsors but I feel its still better than taking advise from people on the internet , who you don't know and who don't know you from a purely table tennis playing level point of view.
Somehow , these completely theoretical discussions about a very technical sport with a lot of subtleties seem to me a complete waste of time, how many of you have seen improvement coming from purely theoretical advise first hand without ever having to show video evidence or consulting in person ?
Personally, increasingly I have stopped responding to such threads. I know its a personal perogative to start/respond to such discussions , but I am genuinely curious how many of you find this rewarding .
Thought I will start a poll on this ... feel free to jump in ..
