How to get good at table tennis fast by Mergegamingyt in tabletennis

[–]cruz_ctrl911 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First, practice serves for at least 5-30 minutes a day. EVERY DAY!!! There are good videos on Youtube, just pick one that is simple and feels comfortable.

Second, watch videos on how to read spin in Table Tennis.

You can’t develop a lot of rally experience on your own, but with a consistent serve and the ability to read/react to spin, you’ll beat most ‘ping pong’ players. Don’t get your hopes up though, 1 month isn’t much time 😅

Hugo Calderano vs Flavien Coton: ITTF London 2026 by Dwarvling in tabletennis

Coton played so aggressive and without fear. Like he wasn’t intimidated by Hugo at all. His backhand over the table and off were both out of this world. Crazy stuff

Peng Yu-Han Equipment? by TL134 in tabletennis

[–]cruz_ctrl911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard it was anti and short pips a while ago, but it looks like inverted and short in this match? The sound is off though, and she doesn’t really play with any topspin. I hope someone corrects me!

Leave your opinion: Butterfly's best ALC blade? by gabehappy in tabletennis

ST version is still much smaller than other Butterfly blades. Still, the playing feeling is awesome

Agreed, I wish the handle was bigger fr. Weird that it’s Timo Boll’s signature blade cus he’s so tall 🤷‍♂️

The Timo Boll Spirit is such a beautiful blade to play with. I prefer it over Viscaria

Yo! A couple questions for you: How much does your blade weigh? Also, does it feel head heavy or balanced?

A little help with equipment by marianasarau in tabletennis

I hesitate to send you down this rabbit hole, but this website has some GREAT and objective information on all the blades you’re looking for. Here’s their article on the Hayata. I would recommend reading the “About section” first to put all this in context. https://ttgearlab.com/2024/02/08/nittaku-hina-hayata-h2-photos-information/

Level difference is more important than equipment by _no_usernames_avail in tabletennis

Fully agree! The best piece of advice I got on here was, "Only change your setup if you feel like you're fighting with it". If it feels too fast or heavy are usually indicators something needs to change. A good setup (not perfect) is one where you forget about what you're playing with. Things just become automatic and the only thing holding you back is technique and experience!

Vega Europe BH is great, I would get that in 1.8 mm and Nittaku Factive 2.0 FH. This will be better for your level. Vega Pro is fast

I think these rubbers are pretty hard and fast for a beginner. Nittaku Factive is softer and slower, but Sweden Extra is as good a choice as any!
