do not keep your arm too loose or too close to your body all the time, which explains why some of your shots are off. i HIGHLY suggest that you bend your knees and spread your legs apart a bit more. you need to move with more anticipation, and loop those long serves no matter what. as you become more consistent and gain better feel, you need to work on being more aggressive. it's pointless to be aggressive right now though because you don't really have a strong CONSISTENT attack yet. Quick FOOTWORK plays a main part of being a penholder so keep that in mind.

1. If you go to a fairly high skilled tournament, you wont be allowed to play in long pants, also when you get better, and start moving alot more, its gonna be simply impossible to play in pants, since you will be WAY too warm, makes you unable to move even close to as much as you need to.
2. If playing in a tournament makes you alot worse as you say it does, you really should work on the mental part of your play as well. Tournaments usually make me play A LOT better than when its just for fun. 3. most people already pointed out your weaknesses, but ye, keep the serves either short or long, not in between, and practically always low. You first of all need to work on moving alot faster, and here I mean both your legs and your arms/torso. Do trainings where you simply repeat especially forehand loops over and over and over again. Trust me, it works. When you manage to get at least 50 good loops in a row against someone blocking without missing one, thats when you can go on to practice more complicated things like excersises where you dont know where you'r training partner puts the ball on the table. Example: your partner plays first ball in middle, from where you loop to his backhand, then he blocks to EITHER your forehand OR your backhand. Then next in the middle again, then either forehand or backhand and so on. But as I said, first focus on being able to consistently hit all the basic strokes to perfection and your footwork (those two things are inevitably connected btw) my rating btw, if you need it to believe what I say, is around 1950-2000 in the danish rating system, which is at minimum equal to the american one, from the vids ive seen on this site tho, I would say the danish one is quite a bit harsher, as in 1500 in danish one is better than 1500 in american one. |

apparently the higher the better. 1k is for basic players who are able to execute consistent strokes. 2k should be pros who can execute consistent match-winning strokes. the world class players are almost 3k i think (correct me if im wrong, this is to the best of my knowledge)

You look like 1300, but thats on tape. You are probably actually about 1600 maybe?

At first I always wore long pants for sports. I didn't really think shorts would help movement that much. But you really do get more movement.

just a random question. i usually wear sports shorts for training. is there any rationale behind wearing long pants while playing, isit just to distinguish who is who? cos i find it inhibits your movement a little

sorry if you thought i was mean, i bet you can beat me easily... your service is what people in Singapore would call "action", like all those bouncing and rolling around in your hand for 10 seconds before tossing it high into the air and serving a really basic service.
in a recent poll service was rated as the most important stroke in tt. it provides ground from which you can launch your attacks. when you serve from an extreme end of the table, you should direct your services off the corners or a fast down-d-line. as of now you do not vary your services in depth, width, speed or spin direction. your opponent always seems to mish*t his return, which perhaps misleads you in thinking your serve is loaded with backspin. from what we see, that is not the case, continue to work on your service such that it is hard to tell which way it is spinning and vary the direction of the ball your smashes are extremely inconsistent, work on it as well, do not pause after a smash, and always expect your opponent to be able to return it. |

Its hard to judge from the play unless you know your opponent's rating.
