Superstitions?

[DruvCarbonBlade]

Hey guys. So this time around I was wondering if you had any superstitions or habits you do before playing a game or during? Me for instance. I get paranoid and think that the point that will make the sum of the two scores equal 11 is the point that has an impact on the winner or the game (for instance if the score is 5-5 then the next point would be important) I also think that the more I eat the better I play. These aren't major ones and the food one probably has some scientific reasoning behind it but I was wondering what superstitions you had?

Just put the earphones, listen to music you like, relax

When i screw up 3 points in a row, i switch from my red fh rubber, to black ... i have some tournament places where i know i'll do much much better than in others, etc.

I've played one of the best matches in my life while I folded my towel instead of just hanging it on the table, since then I always fold my towel.
It's also a plus because my opponents get frustrated as I refold my towel during a match I also use my towel quite a lot, mainly because I have glasses.

I seem to do better if I do the towel break every 6 points... so I'll keep doing that.

These are all cool. I also feel (like most people) that watching professional table tennis will make you play better. But adding onto that I feel like watching left handed players throws me off (I am right handed).

I believe that if jokers in the military have pissed me off, no amount of relaxing techniques will produce a winning situation for me, just a world of hate. I find that after I break a few bats and have to play with the 3rd backup crappy bat, I can have a clear mind to focus and play like a real human.

Anyone really believe that crap?

It is all about changing Ur mindset and we all have good and bad days in this...
