Watching Timo and Ma Long play got me into table tennis. The very first serve I tried to learn was the reverse pendulum. I rushed to get to the World Championships in 2021 so I can watch Timo play in person for the first time ever and his opponent couldn't play! Thankfully, I got to see him vs...

A big thing that I've focused on the past few weeks is the contact point on my paddle and my opponent's for literally everything. This sort of nuance is helping me understand spin a lot more. I've been focused on doing about 4-5 hours of drills a week, then the rest about 5-6 hours for practice...

I had a hard time feeling the ball, but I attributed that to adrenaline and nerves, as well as playing on rubber surfaces. Never realized how light the ball was until you mentioned it. I had a set of training balls from Joola, but I gave them away. Not a bad value for ~$25ish. Might try and...

I'm glad you mentioned the balls cause Austin and Houston both use those and I was definitely not prepared.

I got to play with a boosted National Hurricane recently and I'm doing my best to stay away from temptation. Everything except for flat hitting felt so good.

They both deserved a more packed audience. Great game

It definitely is frustrating. That's why I want to change it up a bit. One the days that I don't get coached, my sessions have been doing a warm up, one or two drills, then practice matches. One of the guys helping me said that I should be focused on doing one serve to one spot and drill my...

My C-1 is starting to show signs of wear, so I'm experimenting with my Rakza Z on my BH. I never realized how much of a difference in arc there is between the two. Maybe the EJ bug is hitting me. Thinking about proposing doing some group training for a few of my practice partners for...

Based on his jacket, he needs to catch a flight soon for the Bayern match. I tried finding him online, but it just shows a German coach as Batra's main coach.

Great mental recovery by Filus after missing that serve 10-9 in the 2nd.

I felt like Nina started to exploit her long backhand and forehand later on, but a close match in general.

Amy Wang's playstyle is so controlled, calm, and hardly has to cover ground. I don't understand the nuances of her game. Close match vs Nina.

I try to set myself up in the mid-range, just due to how tall I am. Haven't had issues with close or mid-range in general. No issues with taking the shot off the bounce, flicking, or waiting and coming back a little bit to do a fuller stroke. Anything that I mess up on is more my fault with...

For my level, I think it's pretty good for the price. I'm getting enough spin and control to where I can focus more on placement. I'm still developing my backhand, but other players have complimented me on the amount of spin I was getting on some of my strokes. I play about 3-4 times a week...
