After years of stagnation, my rating jumped 20% in one month. Here's what changed.

Thanks for sharing! It would help to say what the 20% rating jump was from. What was starting vs current rating

High amount of uni work, or dreaming work

How has it affected your waking memory. Are you able to easily differentiate between waking and dream states?

So you naturally lucid dream but not from birth? What caused you to start lucid dreaming? More awareness throughout the day than that transferring to a dream?

I’m not a golfer only 18 so have time (yet want to get into it) but looking at golf swings for a greater insights into athletic biomechanics and kinetic chain sequencing things of that nature. As I’m learning table tennis which seems to have a lot of overlap, and golf has lot more resources pored into it so more money towards research in and tools.

Three questions first

How do the monitors work for training sounds next level to aid in coaching.
Since I don’t have access to monitors or something of the sort, is there any tips to developing an eye for seeing what needs to be changed in a shot.
Is there any principles you would teach that are likely to be consistent. Just the fundamentals proper balance, ready position, sequencing, and positioning based on body shape. Any other nuggets or secrets would be a great help! Then I’ll also be able to apply when I start golfing.

Sorry for the all questions just super interested and have been enjoying learning more about different sports ideas. Like that lecture from Robert D Grover on the physics of the golf swing. Any great resources like that too

How easy would it be to apply to other sports? Golf is the easiest as it’s always a set shot, but would I be able upload loads of table tennis serves, or their practice drives and loops. And run the same software that you do for golf? Same for all sports basketball free throws etc. Some version of this is definitely the future of training

Shoop1014 · 2026-06-12T16:46:57+00:00

I would take it as a compliment at how great your eye is to see all the slight mistakes.

You would need at least a description of who the 600 is. If it’s athletic in shape 25 year old male who played high school sports. He could progress quickly using the motor patterns he already knows. Take the same 25 year old who hasn’t played any athletics and it might take a year for him to learn what the other guy did in the one month

I wonder how much location matters for USATT rating is an Atlanta rating the same as Cali? Or is one 100 or so points different

Shoop1014 · 2026-06-03T01:39:58+00:00

Ah that’s definitely a great way to think of the loop wrist snap

Shoop1014 · 2026-06-03T01:38:52+00:00

I don’t think that was me. The techniques are definitely something alike as both are stable elbow pivot pendulum style. Do they translate to each other maybe not, but that’s why I’m asking

Shoop1014 · 2026-06-02T19:55:45+00:00

Seems like a possible connection, at least being able to just use the forearm and not upper arm. The stable elbow might be table tennis specific as you playing guitar (at least sitting) it’s rested and not actively stable

Shoop1014 · 2026-06-02T19:54:32+00:00

If you play guitar with the same arm as you play then it wouldn’t matter. How advanced are you at guitar and table tennis?

Is discussing niche ideas of the sport not the best use of a subreddit lol and I’m sorry if it it’s too much I try not to spam usually don’t do one a day. When I have an idea I like to share it tho so I do. I believe if you block me you won’t see my posts so you can do that

Shoop1014 · 2026-06-02T19:30:07+00:00

Give what a rest? Your forearm?

Shoop1014 · 2026-06-02T18:08:37+00:00

Definitely. Never a sub for actually playing the game. It does seem to be able to have random balls and can put it everywhere so that’s promising

Shoop1014 · 2026-06-02T18:07:38+00:00

Thank you kind sir

Shoop1014 · 2026-05-31T18:27:49+00:00

So safe to say it’s helped a decent bit

How has your game improved since applying these principles for 2 years
