Hi, I started training table tennis for 2 months and now I would like to buy a good equipment that would help me develop my technique I´ve read that Yasaka Sweden Extra is a good All around blade for beginners, but unfortunately it isn´t at the stores where I live.

Forehand Drive Technique Help? Hi guys, I started to play when I was 13, which I played for fun and got better with my own habits. Now that I am 15 and joined some training sessions recently I found out my habit was really bad for the original technique so I tried to correct myself, and...

Hi all I just posted a new article on my website and I'd like to know what you think. http://www.tabletenniscoach.me.uk/do-you-need-perfect-technique/ The article was inspired by the comments I get on my youtube channel, where my technique sometimes gets completely trashed (it can be a brutal...

Hi, I have started playing with hurricane 3 BS on FH and wondering how I should play with it, technique. When loop killing a under spin ball, should you hit upwards and only let the ball go into the topsheet and lift the ball so it will go low over the net or try and hit it kind of straight with...

I've started playing LP as a penhold player and am getting on very well. I serve with a tacky, slightly soft rubber and then twiddle to LP. I also RPB with my inverted rubber to attack. However, I realize the LP game for penhold is quite developed but cannot find any written material due to it...

Hi guys, Just a short clip of my FH. What's right and what's screwed up? The thing I would most like to improve is my timing so that I can hit with little less effort. Also because I am not naturally heavy I feel I need better timing to hit winners/loop-kills. Right now, I rely on consistency...

Sorry i didn't get a good camera angle but i will try to get a better one on Thursday.

Hey guys As you can read in the title I want to discuss the two main play styles in table tennis. The chinese play style: with the big forhand swing and the mainly short backhand action. Lot's of short balls in the beginning and big third/fifth-ball attack. Also with more emphasis on the...

I'm a fairly new player having started just under a year or so ago, and I don't get to make it out to the clubs as often as I'd like to practice with better players. One thing I do notice is that most of the better players - even ones who aren't drastically better than me - still put quite a...

Hi, I've been trying to fix my forehand ever since I've started playing table tennis :D A few issues remain that I can see and perhaps more that you guys can see Here are some angles of the video One problem that I've been trying to fix is the way that my wrist goes up when I'm...

Sometimes, players will often "CHO" after winning a point. I always wondered, and this may seem silly, but what if you "Choed" when your opponent "Choed"? Wouldn't your opponent be confused and you will be pumped up, eventually winning the game?

Hi all, Since the dwell time discussion made my eyes glaze over, I thought I might try starting a different conversation for anybody wanting to join in - you might want to grab your bat for this. Think and discuss regarding the following: * A table tennis ball only weighs around 2.7g. That's...

Hello there! Since it's really hard to study tabletennis techniques just watching and rewatching videos on Youtube, i was thinking to post here my question, where players with more experience and deeper knowledges could help me. Supposing that you are playing against an opponent that serves...

When zhang jike gets into backhand to backhand rallies is he mainly countering (counter looping) the ball. He got into a lot of those when he facing wang hao at wttc 2013. I just watch the mach again but couldn't tell due to the camera angle.

I decided to post this because of a recent web board post. This is an illustration of my improvement on what Brett Clarke called "the number one mistake" that amateurs make on the forehand topspin. First video is the old technique - the two last videos are more recent. I have bad knees so I...

My coach is teaching me fh serve. Basic underpin serve and movement to build more spins off of. I can only go once a week and practice every day between sessions. Here is what he show me : - take the paddle back farther on backswing - loose fore arm and wrist on downswing - stop sharp on...
