Hello. I have two girls from Iceland 11 year old, crazy about table tennis (been practicing for 1 1/2 year) that would like to practice during the stay of their parents in Brussels May 9 to May 16 (the parents are academics staying there for research). They will be near Grand Place (20 min...

I've heard that Asian players generally practice more than European players. It maybe so for top players, but I suspect recreational players in Europe/USA spend more hours because of the difference in lifestyle. How many hours do you play table tennis per week? Do you know how many hours your...

The Rio Olympics is fast approaching with the very best players from around the world heading to the Olympic village this week. In the build up to the Olympics Europe's number 1 Dimitrij Ovtchaorv has been preparing with coach Jorgen Persson! You can listen to our podcast with Jorgen Persson...

Hi Guys, First of all, If the roller was good, all the credit goes to the community. Everyday I learn a lot about table tennis by interacting with mates around here. Whether it is positive or negative, they tried to convey about something which is hidden to my mind's eye. In the previous...

Hi guys, I have uploaded my basic stroke training sessions which belong to last year. Already, few months before this session, I had snapped my right Knee ACL ligament during my Badminton training. Hence, my movement on legs are completely constricted. I hope these videos give a better picture...

Der_Echte once said to me, learning the timing and touch and bat angles for a short underspin serve is a must, I have decided to work on it and to perfect it as much as I can (without a proper coach). Below is a video of my practice of the serve on Day 2. I am attempting to practice a bucket...

I have added only the good serves into this video. The bad ones are innumerable. I have very less experience with long serves. So, I thought of making some few practice session with markers. I was able to hit the candle holder very few times and for most part my accuracy was horrible. Plese...

Here is an interesting video with Mizutani practicing with his clubmates and the coach. BTW, if you hate Dima's grunting, tune to 7:10 to find both Jun and Primo moaning together :)

Last night at my coaching session Ryan Jenkins Wales number 1 and Welsh national coach came to give us some coaching and practice. It was fantastic, when demonstrating the drills he was unbelievably consistent and so quick. His technique is beautiful to watch! He came around give us all advice...

When I'm training my topspin F/H it breaks down when I try to speed it up. Should I focus on technique or should I always train with speed. I also really struggle with the correct contact point. Any tips?

I have access to a friend's table with a robot for practice. I use it to practice certain basic strokes (I would be around 800 USATT rating) and then I play at a small local competitive club once a week. The problem I am consistently facing is that I will practice a stroke for weeks on the...

Managed to get some highlights together from a couple of practice matches I had tonight. Should be able to get the other videos up tomorrow, but here is the first (second should follow this evening). Note: The chap I'm playing is a very "very" good coach - He's also a better player than...

Hey, I'm a relatively new player from Sweden, I play with chinese penhold grip and use RPB. I feel like I have improved a lot lately and can do most drills without missing many balls against more experienced players. But when I practice with my friend who's more or less on the same level as me...

Hi all, I have always thought about attempting this trick shot below however never got around to it until recently. During my coaching sessions I always try and get the kids to try and serve and knock one ball off the table. This can take some time and be quite difficult. This made me wonder...

I guess it's about time I showed you guys how I play, it's best I put it all out there for better reference to my technique and skill level. I'm posting this here in public for feedback on my game since my coach doesn't give me too much feedback. Thanks! These were shot after three hours of...

Hello Forum :) Another question I wanted to hear your opinion about: How much hours of practice per day should a player train if he or she wants to pull the very best out of him/her? i'd say about 3 hours every day could be just enough for a person to evolve his game and jump into his next...

Hi all I'm seeking a practice partner for practice games You will ideally live in Sussex, East Surrey, South London or West Kent (in the UK) I have access to my club 24/7 so we can play there (Crawley) At the moment, I'm looking to meet up daytimes during the week. If you want to discuss...

I train 15 hours (per week)

Hi all Those of you who look at my blog will know for me, my TT hit an all-time low last night. i don't know what's wrong with me but why can't I put these practised strokes into play in a gane. Its not as if these matches are important, just purely practice ones! All input welcome, especially...
