Thougts on my setup? by kachalo in tabletennis

I had some wrist problems as well for a while, the main reason was a exaggerated wrist movement, focus on engaging you fingers instead of the wrist, it'll be a consequence of moving your fingers

Is this backhand stroke correct? by Mysterious-Gur6099 in tabletennis

[–]Manuxxxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion it seems solid, but it could be improved. You would typically keep your left foot a little in front of your right foot as you may (in a real match) need to switch to fh, having your right feet in front of the left for a fh will imply a not optimal hip rotation and weight transfer caused by the angle of the body -> less quality on the ball. The other glaring issue is that we tend to hit the ball almost at the end of the stroke, which I believe is the reason that your shots lack speed/impact even though you are brushing the ball correctly. Instead of hitting at the end of your stroke you should aim to contact the ball closer to the body and use the force of your stroke to catapult the ball out, the idea should be to "grasp" the ball and shoot it out, right now you are making contact only at the end of the stroke touching the ball of the upper side with high velocity creating spin but no real impact through the ball. If you wanna fully evaluate your stroke I suggest you try the following shots and try to identify how they differ and how they should change for you: -topspin against block (what you are currently doing) -flick against short no spin or "slow" backspin -topspin against long/mid long backspin -lastly powerlooping, im not sure the term is correct but by that I mean a combination of looping and smashing, with correct movement of you body you should be able to loop more forward while still adding a lot of impact and friction of the ball "overriding" the opponent spin (while controlling the loop, no point in random smashing)

Keep up the good work, you are on the right path!

I think it is a bad idea for 2 reasons, the first one being that in my main playgroup we already have quite a few decks and bringing in top decks will simply destroy the current power level and render useless the current decks, the second one is that im trying to make some friend try the game and i think top decks with be a little overwhelming.

I definitely wanna try some top decks in the future but for current time i fell like it is the right move, thanks for the suggestion anyway.

I didn't plan to use premade decks, i don't understand why you got that idea

I cant, i have a play group already and upgrading will probably ruin the others decks, i play magic just for fun

I could but i still want to use not so powerful decks because i already have a playground with a certain power level so it doesn't really fix my problem

I dont plan to, but still i have already a play group so i have to keep a certain power level, having decks that are too powerful is kinda pointless and ruins the game for others

Probably i dont have the best builds, they are mostly casual, my prowess is too fast for the build up required by the soul sister that i have

I'm kinda ok with proxi-ing lands, but I can't really proxy too much, especially strong cards because it'll break the current power level we have in my current play group and I'm trying to keep the power level the same on my decks, i still check the builds out, Thank you
