Table tennis is getting fun!!!!

[pedro.dantas]

Hey just want to share with you guys that table tennis is getting even more enjoyable for me

I think now i can play more loose, and techniques and footwork are getting more consistent (but still there's a long road to go). Today i just hit a 360º forehand loop while pivoting, that hit perfectly the intersection of the whitelines at backhand side of the oponnent. Just felt so good haha
Now i'm just having fun and winning easily against opponents that i wasn't even able to take a set.

Just curious, has Hugo recent success translated to the rise of table tennis popularity in Brazil?

curious: Is Xiom the dominant TT brand in Brasil now?

Yes, there's a lot of new players because of him

More or less, i think tibhar and joola also have a big share here together with xiom, then butterfly, but since brazil economy is really bad most of new players don't have money for these brands, so a lot of them use cheap chinese blades and rubbers with bad quality.

So what made the difference for you?

Guess i don’t have to think too much before doing a stroke now

So... Not a magic piece of equipment or something like that
Just plain old learning and getting used to the game.

Don't get me wrong, I think that's a very powerful thing to realise! And I'm trying to put it explicitly into words for others who will read this thread in the future.
