View attachment 36477
Let’s go over the “what you will learn” section in order:
- Plenty of FREE YT vids talk about this
- Just watch some TTD reviews (hope to see more of those again @Dan)
- Again watch TTD reviews
- Levenko talks about this in his equipment video, go watch it for free
- Again WATCH FREE TTD REVIEWS
- Dima and Bill briefly cover this topic but is unimportant for the amateur level imo
- Geraldo’s secret? Get the racket that is best suited to your playing style.
- Millions and millions of free videos on this

Long story short, not worth it when there is plenty of FREE professional player content out there

At that price point, it is very likely he is.
IMO, it's a brilliant idea. All he needs is 10 suckersEJs and voilà, one week in a 5* hotel in the Canary islands is waiting.

unless it’s ground breaking experience, i just don’t think it’s gonna help us much
You are probably right.... the advert is not targeted towards you.
I'm not sure how much experience you normally get from pros.
maybe not much
so this is something that with some money, you can buy.

Or wait for some pro turn youtuber
or be brave enough to go and ask random elite pros the questions.

I actually don't think the price is that bad - based on my assumption of the depth he would probably cover.

I feel people on TTD don't really treasure pros experience enough. But that is because TTD is mostly hobby players and they are used to free information.

But for anyone that is serious (not EJ), ie kids that is striving to be the next national champion, knowing your gear is so important and the money will be well spent. So this is probably not suitable for TTD, but rather to a semi pro audience that is young.

Pros should be talking out more.
For free isn't right, but good price that both parties are able to accept is a difficult one to determine.
If the quality is there, it should be well worth it.

There is video from one brand company and the guy told everything about zlc and alc, the difference and all pros and cons.
IT means I can put this as my intro, 15 pages
Write my experience from 7 years of gluing around 1000 blades with different rubbers, 150 pages.
No one buy this ish for 5$.

As a portuguese and generally fan of his playstyle i wanted it to succeed in launching this "course", however, i don't see the point. The only thing i see it bringing to the table is the "extensive" blades and rubbers that he has tried (because he is sponsored) and can compare them better than us, but that in my opinion it doesn't cost 200€ or whatever he is charging.
Also, how to glue a racket should be common knowledge to everyone who plays table tennis and there is plenty of FREE info around (including Timo Boll and Ovtcharov). Charging 44£ for that just seems out of touch.

It's the same in any area of expertise sadly: as the pro musician I used to be, selling courses on the internet is an everyday challenge "yeah but this guy has a youtube silver plate for 100k followers and he does this for free".

I'm still offering 30€/hour IRL 1on1 courses, I've dropped the internet game, I have to pay for my car's insurance/gas/maintenance + strings + batteries (active basses with a preamp inside).

I've watched a really interesting vlog/podcast lately with Janek Gwizdala (no one know who he is) and his wife Chelsea Gwizdala, yet that name says nothing to anyone here, but it should: she's none other than Beyoncé's bass player and artistic director + Walt Disney's Studio musician. They live in Los Angeles as you can imagine.

You won't find her on Youtube or any social media making bass performances. She said it was now a competition with people having nothing to care for really valuable information, true live performance (the Giaccomo Turra drama and all those musicians "faking" their performances on tik tok and youtube's shorts), and that competition involved silly things like: preparing for a make-up, the clothes choice, etc... and how therefore it was harder for female musicians, even certified pros ! to make a name on "youtube".

When you watch this, it completely baffles you.
