Hi,

I am new to this forum and have just started into the game.  I am only a beginner and am looking to join a beginners club to improve my game. I live in London, UK.  Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks very much in advance.

Oh thanks.

alright, I guess this hasn't really caught on. I'm Luke, I live in the US. I've been playing for only 6 months or so, but a chinese player at my club told me that he thought I had "the touch" and that he expected great things from me. I'm 21 years old, and practice as much as I can. I love this forum.

Hey, no problem. I love this place. Where I am, no one really plays TT, so It was interesting for me to find a group of people that actually care about the sport.

By the way, how does that Avalox play?

Very good indeed, the Avalox, ah :D
Heavy, fast and a killer.
Good for third ball attacks, IMO.
I usually kill the ball on the 3rd hit, fast for rallies, but for topsin, its so-so.

Hello friends.I'm from Roumania and first I want to know if someone like my country, was registered here.
Home, we have a site www.tenisdemasa.ro ,please enjoy...

Hello everyone.  This is my first post on mytt.net, but i have been lurking the forums since probably around March this year.  I am currently 21 years old and attending Texas A&M Unversity as an undergraduate.  My major is Electrical Engineering ,and i hope to attain a bachelors degree for now.

I have been playing table tennis for about 8 months, but only consistantly for 4 months.  I am a chinese penholder with reverse backhand who started with some junk paddle from wal mart but bought a pre-assembled at zeropong to help my game grow.  There are ALOT of people who play ping pong the game, but only a few of them play table tennis over here.  Mostly, the Asians over here are very good, and i have trouble just returning their serve.  There is so much i would like to learn about the game and the technical aspects that come with penholder grip.  Since there is no coaching here, except for probably a sound beating, i will most likely try and post questions on this forum.

Some other things that are happening around here are to hopefully get a school club going and try and register for the NCTTA<-I think thats right.  One of my friends and semi-table tennis coach is handling the situation right now, and maybe this semester or next semester we can become recognized.

Lastly, I would like to thank everyone here for making this place such a great community and a place to share and learn information.  Maybe someday i will be able to contribute to the discussions and be able to help someone who is starting out like me. I wish everyone here to have an enjoyable holiday coming up, and that everyone will keep on hitting and never give up on such an amazing sport.

Hello. I am new to this forum. I have the impression that many inexperienced players are offering opinions about a whole range of things they know little or nothing about. Everyone has a right to their opinion, but at some point it just becomes a pooling of ignorance. Personally, I think that unless a player is quoting someone who is recognized as knowlegdeable, or has special insight as a player or coach they should probably refrain from answering peoples questions.

I believe US table tennis players are more heavily infuenced by the TT manufacturers'marketing campaigns than by actual knowledge of the sport. If you doubt me, just walk into ANY local club or tournament venue. Everyone is attired with designer warm-ups and shoes and towels and they have their late-model equipment glued up and ready to go and they look great - UNTIL THEY START TO PLAY! Try to find someone who can steadily put the ball in the same place 10, 20 or 30 times and you will be looking for a long time. This is conducive to bad practice which is conducive to bad technique which is conducive to bad game play. It is a shame.

The TT community needs to reject this Hollywood, glittery, superficial image concsiousness.    I think people need to stop worrying about looking good and start worrying about how to PLAY WELL - AND I DON'T MEAN WITH JUNK RUBBER! We must study the pros to learn what this sport is about, not pump our egos with superficial nonsense.

Does anyone agree with me?

Hi I'm coming from Denmark, I have made this profile because I like tabletennis and asking/answer questions.

My playing style is powerlooping.

Hello sir, thank you for your reply to me.

I am compelled to respond to some things you said in
your reply that are simply NOT TRUE. Firstly, I never
said that designer sportswear and equipment MADE
people play bad. Expensive gear is not what makes a
good player good nor does it make a bad player bad.
My gripe is with bad players who are preoccupied with
looking good and not concerned about improving their
skill set. This is what I refer to as 'superficial
nonsense.'

Perhaps some minimal psychological advantage is
derived from "dressing to kill" but that doesn't
equip you to execute proper technique, footwork, shot
selection, ball placement or strategy. Just because
people 'feel' better doesn't mean they are better.
Watch people who wear toupees or dye their hair if you
want an example of how a person can look ridiculous to
everyone while feeling good about himself.

My point is that the EMPHASIS is in the wrong place
for most players. Don't you think the optimum
scenario would be to look good AND play well?
Stepping up to the table with that confidence would
give you a huge advantage, psychological and
otherwise.

P.S You said in your reply that Gatorade and water are
the same thing but produce different results in
people. Surely you don't mean this do you? The
ingredient list and nutritive value of both is readily
available via a Google search if you are interested in
a factual comparison.

Be well -

Hello guys,

I like the forum aloth. I joined the forum day or two ago and it is a great resource. I started playing ping pong when I was around 7-9 seriusly cant remember any more. Born in Bosnia and Herzegovina was fortunate that the sport in the Ex-Yugoslavia was well promoted and funded. We traveled aloth even as juniors and played against great clubs. That gave me great attitude toward the sport and I loved it since. I attended every Yugoslavian championship that where held in Zagreb at the time my best placement was around 27 in doubles. I realy was there for the fun and the girls even if I could have placed higher easy we goofed of to much IMO. Since I left Bosnia as a refugee I played in Germany for a while and then found new interest that got me away from Table Tennis for a while GIRL'S GIRL'S GILR'S damn puberty. Now after a long time I am starting back with the sport here in Salt Lake City, UTAH USA. We have one big gym with about 8 tables only thing is we meet once a week and that is insufficient for me to get back in shape.  I hope to be able to afford me a robot soon since the college is eating all my $$$$$ it may be a while. I was fortunate to have 2 trainers one offensive and one defensive chopping trainer. Those chopps helped me with getting a great forhand topspin or Loop that I can execute on almost any type of service as long it passes the table by 1". I probably play now about 40% what I was capable of but I hope I'l get into the grove soon.

Turned into quite a long post well nice meeting you all and good luck in the sport. 

 

Nice to meet you all.
