41 MINS AGO - ckwsp101, Thank you for sharing your experience with these rubbers. I was worried that Mech-Tek would be too much for me to handle at this stage of my TT journey and you seem to be confirming that. Although I have a decent BH, I would by no means say it's extremely good and my fear is that using a very bouncy/spinny rubber would lead to a regression. Could you let me know if you used the 2.1mm it 1.7 mm sponge and if that would make a difference? Also, I have been looking for reviews of the Zero with Blue Diamond sponge but have been unable to find them. Could you share your opinions about this?Many thanks!Statistics: Posted by learninTT — 20 Jun 2018, 23:32 Collapse

Coaching & Tips : Urgent help with strokes

4 HRS AGO - Author: LeshxaSubject: Urgent help with strokesPosted: 06/20/2018 at 9:46amIn your stroke, you're throwing the paddle forward and your wrist naturally curls. The good news is you've figured out how to do the basic - but you're right about consistency here. The problem with what you're doing is that you have to have perfect timing everytime to make it correct, but another issue is that the face of the blade opens up and then close as you do your stroke, so that if you catch the wrong timing - too early on a topspin ball the ball is going to go off the table, and if you take the ball too late, the ball will go into the net. The stroke you use is better for no-spin, light underspin ball.For topspin, you have to already be on top of the ball, covering it from above and brush the top part of the ball. You also have to keep that angle, otherwise, the ball will kick off the table.Hope this helps. Collapse

5 HRS AGO - Dusty054 wrote:Equipment could provide a more immediate benefit, depending on the type and condition of existing equipment. Coaching probably has more long term potential but may not provide much of a benefit unless it’s quickly followed up with regular practice.Respectfully disagree. 5 minutes coaching can quickly help someone learn how to return backspin with top spin and understand why and what it is they need to do so they can continue to apply it after those 5 minutes with the coach. Equipment will never return the ball or understand these types of things.If anything, equipment is the "1%" that can make a difference between two players of equal or similar ability but at a lower level, coaching wins out every time for me. Doesn't need to be formal coaching but an understanding of spin, the mechanics of playing the shot and the importance of bat angle at point of contact will help a player much further than simply changing equipment.Statistics: Posted by Debater — 20 Jun Collapse

One coach told me I was gripping the bar too loosely on the deadlift, another told me my weight was going forward too much when I came up on the squat.

When you're doing low reps with heavy weight, the second your form falls apart it's easy to tweak something. Everyone I lifted with hurt themselves at some point, but it was usually just something that kept you out of the gym for a couple days and nothing that really affected your day-to-day life. You're training with coaches and powerlifters, so that will help you a lot. Back when I was at it, we all followed Sheiko programs. Kev will probably have more advice here, but if a program has you going to 80% on multiple lifts of the same type (i.e. deads) in the same day, you're probably gunning for an injury. My first program was the CMS-MS Prep and I liked this one a lot. The workouts are a bit long, Collapse
