30 MINS AGO - That often happens when an opponent is trying to make a short push but fails. Or trying to serve short and fails. It is a very difficult ball to play well against. There is a very good tutorial on it, but it is in Russian. The key things from it:0) Hit it when it falls down1) When looping it, the contact should be super thin, like 95% brushing motion2) If the ball comes to forehand, you have to step-in with your right foot (for a right-handed player), like playing a short push or a flip. If you pivot, there is no need to step-in as the table is not in the wayThe problem is that this ball is extremely awkward, and playing high-quality shot is difficult. But if you play a low quality shot, it often invites an aggressive block or a counterloop (like in the point you posted). It also happens to me very often, I try to loop a half-long serve, then get blocked out. Sometimes I feel that it is better tactically to push those long (the opponent is unlikely to attack anyway), then loop the Collapse

46 MINS AGO - Sebastian if you now much happier with your Donic Burn off blade with the new rubbers then I would suggest forgetting about trying the much slower Sweden extra blade with hard rubbers unless you just want to have fun experimenting and the rubbers are cheap.If you want a second set up perhaps with a bit more control and spin, then maybe better to sell the Sweden Extra and buy the Donic Burn off- which is supposed to offer noticeably more control, spin and feel than your off blade. You could then by also varying the rubbers have two similar set ups, one optimised for control and spin and one for max speed depending who/where you area playing..Statistics: Posted by ChasFox — 16 Oct 2018, 02:10 Collapse

1 HR AGO - It has come to my attention that I have a problem against a certain type of return on both wings.The issue: I serve a nice low backspin ball and it comes back with a lot of spin but with little speed. It results is the ball not coming out of the table much. I end up doing this loop where I'm almost always messing it up in some way or another. I seem to have no issue if the ball comes out of the table a bit more, assuming I am in position (of course mistakes still happen). Here is a fine example of the return and an approach to looping it: https://youtu.be/VwE3V1_arX0?list=PL01o ... aO7Re&t=24 (I just noticed the next ball gets blasted by but that doesn't matter, I don't even give my opponent the chance to blast it by me)I don't think my robot can even really reproduce this ball but thankfully one of my training partners can do it (in fact it's all he ever does against it). I think mentally I'm worried about hitting the table with the paddle/hand and I'm not sure if I should be Collapse

1 HR AGO - I'm doing pickleball for the most simple reason: The gym I go to at lunch is playing it on Thursdays. The game has more movement than table tennis and allows me to experience a different type of equipment without messing up my TT game. If anything the game lets my leg muscles get some balance on usage.I bought my own pickleball paddle ( https://www.midwestsports.com/head-radi ... /p/226017/ I didn't pay nearly that much). This paddle is said to have the most spin you can get - the game has friction/roughness on the surface of the paddle rules. So I turned on my TT ball machine and returned a few top spin and backspin balls. Turns out there is no grip at least to a ping pong ball. Basically played like long pips, no grip.Statistics: Posted by wilkinru — 16 Oct 2018, 01:36 Collapse
