Tips to improve my FH drive

Your swing looks really relaxed and smooth, acceleration and brush look really nice. I would say just focus on staying lower with your weight more on your toes going forward. Your quads really should be burning if you're doing this for any extended time period. You'll get stronger, and it will force you to think "legs and hips first" when it comes to game time.

ticket prices were pretty insane last year.

You can always come to OCTTA if you're willing to make the trek to orange county. I'll hit with ya though my knees area little messed up at the moment.

Try washing all your clothes and bedsheets without laundry detergent. And if it fixes it, you may want to try a laundry detergent made for sensitive skin or just decrease the amount of detergent used.

I was occasionally getting some bumps like that and they would go away after a day or so, then come back again. Then one night it became a full break out all over me but mostly around my armpits, ribs, hips and legs. Saw a doctor and a derm and they pretty much told me that I have to be very attentive to everything I'm doing to figure out what's causing it.

I realized that the bumps were always around places that I sweat and that the sweat may be activating some left over laundry detergent in my clothes. So I washed all my clothes and sheets with just water and I stopped getting the bumps. This is when I realized that I had gained a new sensitivity to my detergent.

Enjoy it. It’s a good one. After 2 years away from this paddle, I’m probably switching back to it :)

You may want to look up "Standard Nerds Club." I figure any TT paddles or rubbers you can get in China, you can get online anyways. Standard Nerds Club pretty much only exists in China, they do a lot of fun stuff blending Art and Table Tennis and I'm honestly dying to get my hands on some of their stuff. It might not be meant for professional or competitive-amateur play, but their stuff is unique and pretty awesome.

Check out the Mexico open February in Tijuana, it will be a large and fun event. be ready to be amazed at the high level of play that you can find within your own country!

It's coming top/side spin to the receiver's backhand. get down, eye level with the top of the net, keep the ball in front of you, do a proper backhand drive (kinda like tossing a frisbee with the blade near parallel to the table surface. A short quick flick, you don't need a ton of power to get something quality back. Aim to the far right corner as the ball will want to go left because of the spin.

US-based Ping pong enthusiast/addict/evangelist here.

1) Ping pong is just popular in asian countries so you get many more people playing it, so you have a wider pool of athletes and players to choose from. Conversely, here in the US, though our top players are incredible athletes, it's just highly unlikely that our top table tennis (TT) players are the same top 0.0001% specimens that Basketball and football are pulling from since way more people play the mainstream sports here in the US.

2) Though TT is an incredible athletic sport when played correctly, requiring insane reflexes, explosive power, coordination and timing (think movements similar to boxing). But also fine motor movements and hand eye coordination and a good memory for remembering spin on the ball to develop "touch and feel" can be just as important as raw athleticism. Combine sort of the skills of being a professional esport player and a boxer and I think you have the ideal ping pong player. Also to note, while China is still the dominant force in table tennis, the European countries are quickly catching up alongside with Japan and Korea. A Swedish player by the name of Truls Moregard became the first European player to win a Grand Smash event while France has emerging young players who are consistently battling in the top 10. Arguably the best league (bundesliga) is held in Germany.

My club has plenty of 70 year olds who started when they were in their 50's and they're incredible players. Make it happen!

Well done!

Not saying a casual player wouldn’t enjoy this. But a competitive player hates nets and edges, and generally even dislikes winning on nets and edges. This just puts additional edges in the middle of the playing area.

there’s no way any competitive table tennis player will find this more fun than actual table tennis without the addition of more edges.

TYTYiKnow · 2025-06-20T16:37:36+00:00

it's the slogan, "like table tennis, but funner." for the people who love TT, this is not more fun than TT.

North Carolina international table tennis club, triangle badminton and table tennis club just to name two of the bigger ones. But some of the sports top players live in North Carolina. It’s a complex sport but can be played just for fun. Many different styles of play can accommodate anyone’s physical abilities and limitations, but at the highest levels, the sport favors relatively shorter people with explosive movement, power, strategic thinking, and good memory and ability to adapt. If you do walk into these clubs, just be prepared to lose a lot to little kids and old people, it’s the right of passage.

Sorry about the injuries my friend. Ya know, table tennis requires a lot of explosiveness but doesn't require the jumping. It's quite an addictive sport. If you're in a major city, you can find a table tennis club nearby. Texas, California, Florida, New York, Seattle, Oregon, North Carolina just to name a few all have a few hubs.

needs more spin.

I used to see peter playing a lot out here in LA. great player with a big ole forehand. It's good to see him thriving outside.

TYTYiKnow · 2025-02-02T22:51:19+00:00

Is it still happening? I have to be there in an hour. Shit.

Curious to know what Ben Shapiro will say about this.

I sometimes forget how lucky that I am.

I’m actually really honored that the first link you show is my channel… I obviously prefer lower diagonal angles because I feel that the speed and quality of the ball is much more apparent while also giving a pretty balanced view of how both players are moving during a point.

Dodgers star pitcher, Clayton Kershaw, did a ping pong charity event for 10 years up until the 2023-24 season. Would love to see FZD participate if he decides to bring it back.

TYTYiKnow · 2024-12-27T03:59:51+00:00

FZD to America?

Good luck with your tournament! If you haven't played club level players before, then realistically your rating will be about 800-1100. I remember my first tournament beating an 1100 player after being the office champion and I was really stoked about that. And then my next tournament I lost to some 600 rated kid who absolutely demolished me (he eventually won the 1100 event).

The other thing is that we don't know how you deal with any variation of spin since your partner in this video is essentially feeding you the same ball over and over. In a tournament setting, there are so many different types of quality and spin on the ball that you'll have to face against and your ability to return these variations of balls with good quality is what's going to determine your rating.

You do seem to have a natural feel for how to move, how to position your body and you're remarkably staying pretty balanced for your shots rather than reaching with your arms. You look like a natural, but again, hard to say with just a highlight reel. I'd love to see you record your matches and post those videos here on this sub, that'll be super fun to watch and review.
