got to loop underspin from 2400 short pips! got the hang of it after 15-20 min and won some rallies!!lol he wasnt moving much.

side spin chops killed me.
dead ball chops kill me
side top from the inverted rubber killed me

bh loop - head flat , hit outside the ball , snap

Go to North Little Rock Table Tennis Group on Facebook, read the timeline page post and comments, you might want to switch to LP or Anti on the BH, until your 4H is fully developed.

when ball hits your finger on bh its from starting with the head up already drop it down

Dont reach for deep backhands in practice move your feet

True, I should keep that in mind. Whenever I chop and my friend makes a mistake that i can slam away with my bh, I often reach out instead of stepping up and easily slamming it away getting better though lol

thanks for the motivation, i always enjoy playing with pips..

until they smash it past my forehand

Got to play with a multitude of over 2000 players. N they were missing my serve off the side and long and net. I think they don't expect it to be as spinny as it is from a noob. And I think the reverse pendulum serve is naturally "hard" to read. But I miss one and you know ur blood gets hot mind starts racing and hands start sweating. In matches serve and serve return is my focus ATM. In practice these TT gods have been letting me loop into their block and they also show me their loop a little bit. Seems like when ur 2200 the loop is serious.

After another tournament I went up from 1170-1253

In practice- FH flicks vs underspin ball. I think this will help my feel, timing, acceleration, and shorten my stroke.

Recently many 1600-1800 have been nice enough to play matches with me . After they start to handle my serve the game becomes a slow bleed out till I lose

won

i'm so lazy. and i move like a tree

first wins on open table on Wednesday!! ran the table 5 games. serve variety even if weak will slow down their attack. Won games in group c for the first time. Just a month ago they seemed impossibly far ahead of me. I must have played 28 times in December.

Lost the first 2 games of the night on monday n thought I would be going for another 0/5. My next game I played a practice partner whos been playing in the c group for acouple months now n I won convincingly. Top spins were flying off the table over and over; underspin variety gets free points. Even small things like starting serve in a wierd position slows them down/ high toss. Lost to the a player. Penhold I wasnt really ready for his serves though, I think I can take advantage of them n should win.

If returning short commit to the angle dont expect an attack back

my league rating went up 220 points

finding good contact

vs choppers my body has been under control after swing.

when blocking heavy top spin dont track the ball with paddle/stay "up"

serve return need alot of improvement. underspin serve need work. reverse pendulum needs work. top spin serve needs work.

People just push to my backhand and elbow.
when they push to my fh theyre just being courteous
Stiffen up bh loop vs under

FH vs under must be stronger.. understand its not heavy under..

Develop underspin serve follow-through
develop corkscrew
