training

Hey everyone, I'm a software engineer who’s obsessed with table tennis, and I’ve been working on a simple tool that automatically cuts the dead time out of table tennis training/match videos, so you’re left with just the rallies. When watching my own training footage back, I kept wanting a way...

Hi, I would like to ask what muscle is the responsible of having the arm in a backhand blocking position (elbow a little to the side and in front) (might be the traps?) I have realized if I train 2 consecutive days my shoulder gets sore if I'm in that position for more than 30s. So yeah, what...

What ball is currently considered the best for around 1 dollar each? For training, I'm not sure whether i should be looking for typical training balls like the Nittaku j-top training or cheap 3-star balls like the Double Fish V40+. I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.

For blade: I have played with super hard and fast blade foo long time (Donic Balsa carbo certran fibre). It's pretty good when smashing and counter high arch loop. But when I played with really good players, they did pretty good defense and their loops are much better quality so it's made me...

what do you think about butterfly training balls or the PRO SPIN elite balls

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...

During recent match days, I faced difficulties confidently taking on popped up or high spinny balls at half-long and short lengths. Part of the identified problem is obviously lack of anticipation and adjusting to varied speed on my end. I wanted to incorporate a drill or two related to this...

Dear Forum Members, I hope this message finds you well. I will be traveling to Beijing China this summer to visit a friend and would like to take the opportunity to improve my table tennis skills during my stay. I was wondering if anyone could help me find a trainer, training camp, or suitable...

For context I am a fairly intermediate Table tennis player after grinding for 3 years including coaching and playing 15 hours a week. The one thing I haven’t done though is playing a lot of matches leading me to underperform a lot of the time when i end up playing matches in a competition. I...

One of the most interesting topics, at least for a basic coach like me over ‘60 (you’ll understand the emphasis on age later), is optimizing training time. Let’s analyze the phases of a match and some key points or the main strokes to focus on for each phase (just the most relevant ones for...

Hey Guys! I will be visiting Tokyo from Oct 7th to Oct 27th and I am looking for people and places to practise/play with/at. Since our season in Germany begins in Sep already and I need to stay in shape for my team, I would love to at least train once a week while I´m there. I´m perfectly...

Hello, I hope I put the topic in the correct category (sorry if not) (also yeah I saw that old post asking a similar question but most of the links that were posted are not working anymore also most answers were like "you can book an hour with a coach here" which I don't want to do) I just...

Hey guys, I´ve just bought a racket loki x1 with rubber rxton 1(both sides), I´m gonna train two days a week and play free at least one day a week. Is this rubber good for playing? I´m not advanced player, I´m beginner-intermediate.

Hi I want to donate new training balls for our TT club and was wandering which new balls to buy - we play 3rd league in the Polish ranks and currently use the Yasaka 40+ PLA Select Ball, which is a quite fast and sturdy ball… Any recommendations/suggestions for an upgrade would be highly...

Hi guys! It's been a while since I've been active. Mom life has made me very busy these days but I'm starting to find more time with Table Tennis training. A couple of weeks ago, I went to Broward Table Tennis Club (2+ hours away from my location) and got some coaching from Gal Gmach. I compiled...
