  1. Strategy against SP player that constantly beats me

    Here are some of my thoughts, not all of them will be applicable for you but just some ideas and insights: Try to occasionally get easy 3rd Ball Attacks to finish the point right away When entering the rally, take a step back from the table and play it safe, they usually wont have enough power...

  5. How were pendulum serves returned, before the backhand Flip was more established?

    I have been trying something for ~2 weeks now and it has kind of been a "game changer" ( not really, but you know what i mean ). And I havent seen anyone else doing it. I Basically change my grip when receiving a pendulum Serve to my backhand to receive it with my forehand. Its better to watch...

    Its not really speed thats the problem, more the fact that their is less dwell time and hold on the ball. The ball is spit out too quickly. Unlike the flexible W968 or any other similar inner blade, which holds the ball significantly longer on the racket. Its hard to understand, unless you have...

    Thats the big trade-off with Viscaria on Forehand, when you are used to the dwell time, hold and feeling of the inner blade. Unless you are willing to train forehand loops for the next 6 months non-stop, I dont think you will gain similar confidence. There are so many more adjustments that one...

    When deciding for one Equipment in a Situation like this you will inevitably need to make a trade-off in one way or another. It comes down to what you want and the goals that you set yourself in the short and long term. Forehand of Viscaria will never Match that of W968 ( or Outer vs inner...

  16. Can someone translate this video please

    Or, you could use some of the LLMs. For me Gemini 1.5 pro via ai Studio from Google worked well. It can read the subtitles in the video and translate the Audio. Download the video, upload it and let it be Analyzed. All for free, if you know how to do it right.

  19. How to read the "swipe" serve?

    If the server does it well, its almost impossible to read the spin correctly just by reading or hearing about it, especially if you are not used to it. If he was your practice partner, you would get used to it intuitively get the spin more correctly. The reason the serve can be so effective is...
