technique

I encountered this question when I changed to Shakehand. For rallying forehand topspins, I feel that a bent forearm seems more consistent especially in fast encounters. Sure, a straight arm forehand backswing gets additional power, but seems like a bent forearm position allows higher margin of...

When I started playing TT, I got told that forehand and fast feet was the only thing I needed, so I did not learnt backhand correctly in the first 2 years. Then I realised that advice was wrong, specially looking at modern TT games, and starting learning how to attack on BH. But after talking...

Just wanted some external feedback on technique and playing. Right now i think i need to work on: - Service recieve - Better balance when playing shots - Don't get into too bad positions - Don't cover too much of the table when backhand I feel like i let my opponents attack too much, but I'm...

Hello, everybody! I am so pumped from yesterday, so I cannot hold it anymore and would like to share with everyone. I have been playing table tennis for almost 2 years in total, 1 year of Chinese penhold... I have been incredibly inspired by Chinese players. Watching countless Chinese videos...

hi all, would appricate any tips on this. I've got some decent quality on some shots - but don't have proper training with a coach. Assuming both players are right-handed : If someone attacks my backhand - my natural movement is to return the ball to the middle or to his backhand. This comes...

Hello everyone! I always thought my basement/rec-room playing days luckily gave me a decent technique. Essentially, my neutral grip is: Finger on gripping on the FH with my thumb resting on the blade. It does not really touch the rubber. This is also my FH grip When I have to hit BH, I...

There are lots of people who teach that a forehand loop against a non-backspin ball finishes at eye or head level, and they say that in the case of a forehand loop against backspin, it finishes above the head level. When the player wants to do a backhand loop against backspin but the ball goes...

Hi all, I played table tennis on and off in my early teens but never committed to it. I'm 18 and I started playing again early last year and have fallen in love. I currently play with a petr Korbel allwood off; I don't have any particular issues with the blade but as its the first blade I've...

Hello I am looking for some advice/resources on the chiquita technique and ball timing/contact on different spin serve receives. I had a look at this video. The ball feeder feeds light backspin. The guy doing the flicks makes a point of waiting until the ball is at the top of the bounce or a...

I am still a developing player and I would very much appreciate some more experienced players to help me with my technique. I belive my backhand is not very good, it is not consitant and it is worse than my forehand. You will see a lot of bad backhand shots in the first video. Keep in mind I am...

I have Donic Balsa Carbo Fleece(OFF+) with MX-P on my forehand and Rakza-7 on my backhand. I got the entire set-up second-hand but it was still pretty new. I have been practising with it for almost a year and although it has improved my shots I still am struggling to find good consistency...

I've purchased new rubbers (Fastarc G-1 and C-1) and decided to test them out. They were extremely different from my previous setup, which was with Mantra M, my consistency had gotten a lot worse and I felt like I had to use a lot more power to get my shots right, but I figured it was normal...

I'm having a problem with the consistency of my shots. I very often hit the ball too late or wrongly when playing strokes (often because I'm looking at my opponents position. My questions are: When should my eyes be on the ball and when on the opponent? How can i train my eyes to always look...

Hi people, I never had any coach, like many, what I know is by reading online. So sorry if this questions are silly :D For the last year I practiced a loose and relaxed grip(with the fingers barely adding any pressure at all) approach and found that I am faster and my backhand improved a lot...
