Pinned: Welcome to the PingSkills Community

This is a place to talk table tennis with other members. What you are working on, what is helping, what is not, and what gear you have ended up with. It is for players helping each other, so most of the value here comes from members rather than from us.

To introduce yourself, start your own discussion rather than replying to this post, so we can welcome you properly and other members can too. Where you play, how long you have played, roughly what level, and one thing you are trying to improve is plenty.

There are currently four different sections in the community. "Introductions" is this one and where you can tell us your story. "Improve Your Game" is for technique, tactics, serves, training and match strategy. "Equipment" is for working out what suits your game. "Matches & Progress" is for what your matches are teaching you, not just the scores.

Alois and I read everything here. We will often leave a question sitting for a bit so other members can answer first, which is deliberate rather than us ignoring you. If you want a coaching answer from Alois specifically, Ask the Coach is still the place for that, and he answers those personally.

So welcome to the community. I hope you find this a useful place where players help players improve.
