What are your TT goals for 2024?

[enoxzr]

My local league team promoted last season, so I want to maintain our division, while personally striving for a ~50% win record. Will be a challenge for sure, but not something that is out of reach.

Furthermore I want to dial in my setup, been experimenting a bit too much last few months. I'm back to an inverted backhand and sticking with it till the summer at minimum. Ideally want to set my setup for the coming season in the next two weeks, which is looking promising.

Playing wise, I'd like to improve my receives and short play over the table. It's getting better, but I'd like to make a large step forward in this regard, as I feel it would elevate my game the most.

Try to become consistent with receive and 3rd ball, then 4th and 5th ball…
If yes , I should win many more matches.

The main goal is to perform well at World Veteran in Rome and by that i just mean getting to the main draw and playing some matches that I would be proud of.

[tbh it looks like a far goal]

Happy New Years to everyone.

What are your New Year's goals for 2024? Please share to inspire the rest of us.

My goal for 2023 was to get to 1900 level. For most of 2023, I felt like I was hovering around the 1820-1850 level. I would fairly easily defeat 1800 players, but I wasn't always consistently competitive against 1950 players.

I think only in the final weeks of 2023 did I discover that by looping the opponents long serve I could dramatically change the dynamic of the matchup. This was a huge discovery for me that actually took too long to discover.

What else should I focus on doing to get to the next level in 2024?

Once you find the perfect FH and BH rubber, you will get to 2000 very quickly
so don't worry too hard about it! The right rubber will come

- Improve my rating and actually maintain it for once
- Become more consistent
- Play even more tournaments and make new table tennis friends
- Beat a player with a 1600 TTR
- Get less frustrated with myself
- Go back to the gym and work on my body
- And just improve overall

Maybe I will think of more, but that's it for now.

Two goals:

1. No injuries
2. Stick to one setup for a year 😂😂

2. I dare you 😁

 

[GregorTT425]

I would like to develop all my skills, but especially the backhand topspin. Of course, the overall and main goal is to get better in all areas. Sticking to one particular setup will be a key element in it.

Well, I was going to say ’stay injury free’ BUT for the last 3-4 days I have been moving house, we have moved in with my elderly father. Which is a bit of a double whammy, cos I had to prep his house as well as packing and moving in. Moving house is one of my pets hates!!!
Yesterday, sometime between getting the parts of the bed up the stairs and assembling it, I must have loaded and twisted my knee, felt nothing at the time. About 30mins later, the back of my knee stiffened right up. It feels like an injury I had about 21 months ago, which back then, I sort of ignored and it got worse, resulting in 6 months out and a total of 9 months until it felt ‘almost’ normal!!
lesson learnt, gonna take a bit of time off, get some physio and if the physio gives the all clear start playing again in February.
My goal(s) are to keep improving, controlled, more spin less wham bam thank you mam!! Improve movement, lose weight (Errrrrrr!! Food tastes so good!!)

Happy New Year TTD!

We have so many EPIC plans in 2024, and have been working on some cool new features on the site 🏓 Stay tuned everyone!

 

[Gozo Aruna]

1. Stop buying rubbers.
2. Stop looking at equipment website / forum
3. Stick with only one set-up.
4. Why do I torture myself with resolution 1, 2 & 3?

 

[Lowday20298]

To transition fast to cpen. Starting from January. I wanna explore more of the game, after defence and chinese rubbers, it's time for pen.

This one is different though because I plan on keeping it. Several years ago I fell in love with pen by watching xu xin and ma lin play.

 

[SFF_lib]

2. I dare you 😁

I know it’s tough 😂

Some TG3 rubbers are on the way. So my bh rubber will change in a few months

 

[JJ Ng]

Build on my mental game.

Divide the table into 1/4's and cover 1/4 with my backhand and 3/4 with my forehand.

Gain more confidence on using short pips on my BH side.

Use better footwork.

Get my kids hooked onto ping pong.

Attend another US Open if it were to be held in Southern California again.

Win the Olympics!

Slightly more realistically, get a decent serve.

Loving your goals guys! My goal is to win the TTD Team knockout 😅

My main goal is to get 3 solid training sessions in a week plus more tournament and match practice.

 

[BaRanchik]

Getting from ~1400 to 1700-1800. Seems doable with personal coaching.

3 times a week quality practice is the magic number for making that leap and improving to another level again. You have the pod now and the gents to train with so no doubt thats on the cards!.

Hey Ghostzen, definitely! 3 is a very good number, the difficulty I'm having is getting the match/tournament practice in, but going to work on that! Hope you're good 💪
