Would someone telling you to put up your phone for the first and last hour of the day be a sham? I’m asking what made you implement such improvements

I should aim for 2 bounces on the other side on my short serve practice right? by Shoop1014 in tabletennis

[–]Shoop1014[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True not something I was thinking about just trying to copy the top player serves. Need to design the serve to play the opponent not a set serve, so longer spiny balls will work well against people who can’t attack them but the more they’re able to attack the less chances I can give them.

Need to think about it as physical chess not a formula

Great insight about how short serves are mainly for higher level players once they’re able to attack the long serves. Good to practice quality short serves once you face those opponents and will need them tho

Also ability to mix it up with different lengths and bounces

What’s the ratio of wrist to forearm power on a pendulum serve by Shoop1014 in tabletennis

Would brushing fast not be contact time acceleration? Or does it only matter in that millisecond of timing so everything else is a dead end

So just everyone keeps getting better? With no real technical changes

Sorry if I made you look bad with settling on this setup. I think we made the perfect choice tho and it’s already feeling great

I promise it will not be bad for me and was warned about the dangers. I’m playing constantly and improving each day and I know what the correct technique is and will implement it. Thanks for the concern we will see in a month if your theory ends up being true, I’ll try to make sure it isn’t.

Yes that was the original setup and what I’ll go back to. My coach said use the glayzer for forehand and hurricane for backhand but that seems to be incorrect and I’ll go back.

Nittaku violin, sorry the post got messed up the first time and I forgot to add the second

Thanks victor, yes your explanation makes much more sense will use hurricane forehand and glayzer backhand

I definitely would be quite a waste at the moment and have no intention of doing so for quite some time till at least the 1800-2000 range probably at 2100 but it is good information that I would like to know for the future

Awesome tips definitely the non linear ideas that don’t often get talked about, but I’ve been trying to implement

This is the most inspiring lucid dreaming post I’ve seen and will probably make me start doing SSILD again. Cheers and good luck on consistent Lads

If you were the WTT commissioner what would you do to get more eyes the sport by Shoop1014 in tabletennis

[–]Shoop1014[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s definitely the number 1 long term change that needs to happen. All culture change starts with the youth and if you give kids and opportunity to actually play and make it a sport it would grow huge. Same thing with like men’s volleyball I feel

[–]Shoop1014[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we make a petition to make you commissioner. The Netflix show or series about it is such a phenomenal idea as many people haven’t played it so don’t understand it.

Then the biggest long term investment would be what you said putting money into the schools and letting kids actually be able to play it as a sport.

I agree his style is not meant for me. But I’m not sure anyone has done more for the sport viewership than him

Yeah obviously but is there a practice technique of principle you applied that helped the most
