OOAK Table Tennis Forum

When I find the time to collate and organise all the questions... If anyone would like to volunteer to help, it will get done much more quickly, as I simply have not had the time yet.

I wonder what a really top coach thinks of medium pips...Ian

As a player who uses sp on the backhand, but has a very strong forehand topspin, I find that I am often in mid distance topspin rallies, when it suddenly changes to my backhand and the angel is so wide that I can't step around to use my forehand, I tend to slap it as hard as I can, knowing it will be killed otherwise.

I currently use 2.0mm in soft tensor sponge. Should I use thicker sponge or faster pips to compensate for the longer distance play? What advice would you give to my situation?

I have recently started using soft spinney SP. Due to there softness and spin capabilities, should I increase the length of the backhand counter hit with my SP's?

Another one:

Until what level should players want to keep from using pimples and antispin?

Another question: Is it possible to learn playing with LP in Sweden with you as a coach?

Any idea when we might be seeing a response from Mr. Thalin?
thanks,
tOD

I have been in contact with him, and sent him the questions, but I've had no response apart from that.

Thanks, I am eagerly awaiting his answers. Thanks for your efforts to make this happen.

tOD

Just wondered: did Thalin respond to the questions so far?
If not, maybe our friend Knorben can remind and even stimulate him a bit?

Unfortunately he did not respond.

I suspect I sent hit too many questions...

He actually mentioned the interview a couple of days ago, and said that he simply didn't have the time at that point. I'll try and ask him if he might have time for the questions some time soon

That would be great, thank you! Please apologise on my behalf for sending so many questions, and even if he can only just answer a few (or a few at the time), that would still be awesome!

Spoke to Hans today. He said he'll look over the questions
Again, last time you sent them was at a time where he had a great deal going on at the same time, so it sort of slipped through.

Thanks for your help Knorben!
