    thanks Jim - you've got a real knack of explaining something that makes perfect sense in theory, and which then leads to some instant improvements on the table that i can now build upon

    Jim, am watching this coaching series 16 years after you shot it and finding it tremendously informative, thank you! Hope you're still playing and showing the youngsters a trick or two!

    Bethany qualified for the senior nationals recently held and it's ranked 26 nationally in senior women at age 16. Toby reacher the QF of the recent senior men's nationals loosing to eventual winner Paul Drinkhall. Toby is nationally ranked 2 in men's u21 category and 12 in senior men. He's currently battling hard against circumstances to achieve his goal of becoming a professional player. Thank you for your interest.

    Its a very good reference, the racket with pimples was position vertically, how about the actual Long//Short pimple held by the player? So that we can see actually the reaction.

    Very clearly explained and I might add that players of any level would benefit by starting their wam up with this level of basics and this way they will avoid having things go wrong with their (even advanced) shots. Thank you for coming out of retirement and giving us this gem.

    ive been playing table tennis for a number of years , i recently returned to playing after an 8 years, during games i was having trouble returning the short backspin on my forehand side . i asked a couple of coaches at my club what i was doing wrong yet none of them could give me the solution . i now understand that i am lacking in point number 4 of the summary of principles . Thanks Jim

    Helping me out 10 years later. My mind clicked when I realized that returning a backspin serve like that retains the spin and becomes a top spin return.

    I would change serve speeds and add more short serves with under spin to her. She sits on the long serves and it plays into her good offensive play.

    I bought the same rubber in 1.8 on one side and max (2.3?) on the other side. I cannot tell the difference at all, even the re-bounce speed feels the same.

    I have kokataku 868 hercules blue sponge i boosted with 3 layers of paraffin oil. Slightly tacky but spin is really severe immense. It cost me 6$ on aliexpress i have ordered 8 of them. Boosted effects still there even after 3 months however less during first 3 weeks of play. Medium tacky i love it 😊😊

    Based on this review, unless plastic balls are significantly cheaper to produce, I don't see any reason for ITTF going to plastic.
