Forehand swing/stroke

[Archosaurus]

That's pretty normal for 1.5 years. It took me about 3-4 years to start getting any kind of relaxation in my game.

88% is really good even for the lowest league level at your playing time! Not sure I've ever heard of anyone with that kind of rate for their first league.

So you do karate? My wife also. Yuru Yuru is closely related. Most Eastern disciplines follow a holistic non falsifiable philosophy but they have a strong basis in practical truth.
Very glad to hear your awareness of this fundamental movement.
We both study western physiology and kinesiology too BTW and not hippy loonies.

I bit late... No I don't, it was long time ago, then later I did some JiuJutsu and Taekwondo, but that is also long time ago ;-) Only TT remains ;-) I don't understand why I like repeatedly hitting the ball so much...

As long as your forehand loop gets the ball on opponent's table and isn't comfortable for him to return then all is good. Different players have their own strokes and you adapt based on your current equipment, table distance, opponent's shot and even the environment you are playing at.
