How many counterhits can you do?

20 T-T... cant w8 to go back and practice some more :)

Well... Not that much. Lower than 100. Need more practise hehe

I can go to maximum 250

ah great, i want so badly to become a state player. oh well, gota start some where! :)

PS, by few hundred, do you mean 200-400?

PPS, are you, alois, going to the training vamp at MSAC on the 28th of december to the 30th?

PPPS, is any one in the pingskills membership in australia, vic, melbourne, epping, going to St Monica's. if you are, please leave email and be sure to enter in the TT team there. they say that they only need 4 good players so they can enter in comps outside.

BYE

cant go more than 150, either he spoils or i. however i remember in a spin battle, we burned rubber with extreme looping.. i got 138 then, still fresh in my memory

you BURNT your rubber?!

My highest is 171, I did it with the local coach. Probably could have made 200, had somebody not hit their ball into our court.

uh... i cant do HUNDREDS but even im a under 12 state player in India and i can do around like 70s or 80s

thanks alois!

Well that really depends on with who I'm playing but I could do a few hundred..

Wow Alois, you must have very good stamina and strength in the arm to endure 10,000! I get tired after about 100-200 and my average is probably around 150

When i reach hundreds arm sucks....how can i increase it

How much time you took to reach over 20 thousand

My counter-hit record is a modest 50. 10k is a lofty total, can't wait to be subconsciously competent with all the strokes baked into muscle memory.

Jeff, I've been looking for that app that does the counting for me and finally found a obscure little app called Fitnastica Lite.  It works pretty well when I place a phone above the elbow of the playing arm. I tried looking for a sound counter to do it but this accelerometer based is pretty much spot on.

Nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine is a mouthful. by the time I can say that number out loud at least five counter-hits would have taken place. Any counting tips Alois?

one of my former coaches, richard bowling, and his buddy richard dewitt, set the "world's longest ping pong rally" in the guiness book of world's records back in 1984. apparently, they kept it going for over 10 hours...which sounds like a nightmare to me!  ;)  they are both quite good still, in the 2200-2300 rating-level in usa, not too far out of the top-100.

i think i could probably do an hour, if i was just trying to keep it on the table. but what's the point really?...you want to hit winners!  :)

after 150 loops in a row my arm is wasted. 10 hours of counter hitting would absolutely hurt wouldn't it? is something wrong with my technique if my shoulder, forearm and triceps sore the next day?

hey alois can you judge my improvement in 2 years according to my counterhits?........ in the first year  it was around 35 and now its around 70

oh.... ok!

My best is:

Forehand counterhits:203

Backhand counterhits:172

since my last comment, I have managed to reach 374 FH, and around 190 BH

Me 420 FH and 300 BH
