I made my first table tennis web app

I know what you're saying about spin, but I think adding a bit more difficulty will give the game better longevity. I also, as another mentioned earlier, think it would be helpful to display the correct answer after someone submits a wrong answer.

This is ok as a game of basically random guessing.  But not very helpful as a training aid.  You cannot see the motion and contact well enough to really read the serve.

So many people have said this, that I've finally caved in and restored the 9-way spin selector. Had to go through all the serves again and update the database really quickly, so I may have messed up some of the serves @_@

Also, to all the people who have complained about the poor camera angle, I'm planning on splitting this app into two versions: one will have the professional player's serves from the standard camera angle like you see now, and one with user submitted service videos taken from the receiver's POV, so you can see the contact clearly. If you're interested, and have videos you'd like to submit, please tell me here or email me at [email protected]

Did the first one with Ma Long. Where the video stops Ma could still go in any direction and spin of the serve. I think a better training app would be to quickly show you the serve, take it off the screen right after contact and ask you what spin was on it. Anyways, just my two cents. Love the idea of where the app is going. Well done.

See my post just above this one. I am trying to find good source material to turn it into a more useful training tool.
