New Substances to test & other Suggestions

13/1/2015

0 Comments

 
Okay, I've done 10 substances so far, but if anyone thinks of a substance I haven't done yet, please let me know. I'm planning on doing honey, as it is so sticky, so I dare say that will be interesting. By the way, I'm not going to put anything dangerous (corrosive) or illegal on the racket! The more the merrier! If you have any other suggestions for website, please tell them to me.

Tips, tricks & tactics 1 - beware of backspin

10/1/2015

0 Comments

 
Remember that backspin lifts the ball up, so don't hit it hard and horizontal with backspin or the ball will float up and go out! However, if you hit the ball hard and low from below the net, it will curve sharply back down.

How to play table tennis 1 - grip & first bat

10/1/2015

0 Comments

 
Buying your first bat is the first choice you'll make. Choosing how you hold your bat is also important. In the way of tables I recommend a cheap folding table. If you're just practising at home, then it will be high enough quality. Even if you want a competitive match, provided you don't want to play official tournaments on it!

So, if you happen to spot an error, whether it be a fact that I've wrong, said something that you dispute or if I've made a typo, please don't hesitate to post a comment on this post so I can go and fix it. Thanks.

The hypothesis Poll

8/1/2015

This is 1 of 3 old polls from the poll page. This poll was originally used for a group hypothesis for a presentation. Still, if everybody is honest about what they thought, it will still work as a proper hypothesis.

What grip do you play with?

5/1/2015

0 Comments

 
As you know, presentations where everyone is sitting and listening to one person waffle on for nearly two hours is no fun. Even the presenter would get bored! That's why I do my best to engage the audience and get them involved. The same thing goes for websites. It's no fun if it's all text. Pictures and videos break it up nicely, but interactive elements are even better. Hearing from the public makes this even more enjoyable for me as well. Polls are one way of doing this. Comments are another. I am always open to suggestions, because I want to make the website as convenient and interesting as I can for everyone. So, tell me, what grip do you play with?

    I love playing table tennis (in fact, all racquet sports) and the strategy and science behind them, so I figured I might as well share my knowledge.
