3 HRS AGO - I don't know what 2200 really represents but there are loads upon loads of Veterans in Europe who started as adults and play very high level table tennis. Can take sets off professional and compete with semi professional players level. They've been playing for 20+ years or more though so perhaps they aren't who you meant?Statistics: Posted by FruitLoop — 15 Nov 2018, 09:59 Collapse

At 18-1900 or higher usualky it's optimal to topspin asap, unless the ball is funky or you are out of position for some reason.We have all played guys who are 2500+ in the warmup, and then can't play points. There are also people who have crazy looking strokes, but their game all fits together. I think Brett's point is true that there is only a very small range of technique variation that can get you to 2300 or higher. But realistically no adult learners ever make even 2200. There was a thread on mytt and nobody knew of a single person who did.So while technique is everything, it also may not matter that much.I forgot to tell William Henzell that Australian players can't make the top 100 in the world.

6 HRS AGO - It probably won't get much softer, assuming you've put 10 or more hours into it, and you've engaged the sponge a lot in that time. If you're getting it from Cole, you can specify the sponge hardness, which is great. After it has broken in, it does last quite a long time. You don't notice the drop off in performance, it happens slowly over a long period of time.Statistics: Posted by WorkoutMontage — 15 Nov 2018, 07:23 Collapse
