Thank you for this lesson, especially the starting ideas. I have a new return board, have not set it up yet, have been a bit intimidated thinking I would not be able to use it right. But with your lesson I am now confident and anxious to get it going. Great job.
Yeah I get that! It took me 3 days with the board before shooting this video and even then I thought this went horribly wrong 😑 😂 Take it slow and build up on your “start”. After that it will get easier :)
3:20 how to start. The easiest way to start is to drop a ball on the table from some height. Than you can hit a ball easy. To start with a ball in hand and from air is more difficult. Regards for all TT players and fans.
Hi Michael :) The main difference is: If you're looking to improve your existing techniques then definitely go for the board. But, if its a matter of learning "new" techniques and shots then the robot would be my best suggestion. Because Wally Rebounder won't as effective as a robot in that matter. Please check out what current top 100 world rank player had to say about the board :) th-cam.com/video/mVlzWJpHDjw/w-d-xo.html You can get the board through this link :) wallyrebounder.com
@@dublintabletennisclub Lol. I made one. The first and only Return Board on the Table Tennis circuit in Cameroon. It works really well and many players are using it
This a great video and a very cool training aid. How would you compare this return board to a lower end robot? This seems like it checks a lot of boxes for grooving stroke technique.
New subscriber to the channel I see :) Well, welcome to the club mate! The comparison can't really be made as both equipment have their own purpose because of pure level of player. The robot is more for beginners / intermediate to sharpen the quality and consistency of the technique. While the board is to "perfect" it. You can't be anything besides a close advance technical player to actually be able to use this board for your benefits.
@@dublintabletennisclub Well first thank you for the welcome mate! That is a first on these 'youtube' channels. I appreciate your acknowledgement in all sincerity. I will process this feedback from you and think of next steps. I have been enjoying your other videos coach which are amazing, and I am a real student of what you are teaching. BTW, the upclose cameos, and explainations of the racket angle, the ball travel, and the shape of the strokes, are so good. So so good.
For sure :) Especially perfecting your technique. It is not to practice and develop it to a high "competitive" technique, but finding a smooth consistent biomechnaical movement is the best thing for it!
The return board is making my game a lot sharper than the robot ever did my flat hit forehand is explosive from stepping up and cracking dead balls it helps with the timing...@@dublintabletennisclub
Thank you for the comment :) My 1st ever TH-cam video which was was ok in views of how many subscribers I had / engagement with YT, but during Covid times it BLEW up and gave me the reason to think to upload some more!
Yeah 3star balls would be more than good enough. Even adequate training ball quality would suit it. Here is a link where you can find "Master" 1 star training balls from our store :) Free worldwide shipping. www.ebay.ie/itm/353079479167
There is a new smaller version of the board that I will promote later in weeks :) Same principal, just smaller and cheaper. Not going to lie, not sure yet which one is better for development, but both have their own special benefits.
@@dublintabletennisclub thanks. I got a reply from them it will be back in stock next week. I'm using a piece of plywood standing on a table right now 😵
Yeah my promo will be on a board sold from Germany :) it’s somewhat more challenging, but it doesn’t mean the exact same benefits as this big one. Still haven’t made my mind on it
Yes you can and actually this product comes with standing legs to put this board on the table. It is used more for flicking / combining with multi-balls, but it will work yes :)
Still topspin from your own start, but it will be reduced spin and be added with more "speed" than spin. Your technique needs to control the speed and counter the spin each time.
It is similar to that. It is a special edition blade that they do not manufacture anymore. But I would say the PG7 would be the closest. I would put European rubbers on it which is weird I know, but somehow it worked really well in control and touch when I coach. For playing I would use harder and tackier rubbers to suit the blade more. Makes it real fast.
We usually ship DHL Express to the EU and its around 3 business days transit time. I wish I could tell you if you would get any customs charges. It depends is what we have heard form customers depending on where they live.
Way too wordy. One minute useful information; one minute of useful demonstration and 6:40 of just words. Still, I’d sit through it for the two worthwhile minutes.
10 rubbers used to build it plus the shipping makes for most of it. However we still have it and use it in 2023 and it's been so many years since we got it now! For sure a future long term investment for players and club :)

This video has sold me on getting a Wally board. I was thinking of getting a machine but this board will do the trick.

@@dublintabletennisclub Thanks. I think I'll start with the Wally board, then consider getting a decent robot.
Really good video! Helped me a lot
Great video. If only you knew how useful this video has been. We can talk about it... Well done
Thank you :) I'm so happy you find it useful. Do you have your own board or planning to get one?
@@dublintabletennisclub Lol. I made one. The first and only Return Board on the Table Tennis circuit in Cameroon. It works really well and many players are using it
@@Harryfon5 Wow that's amazing. Well done :) Is it similar design?
@@dublintabletennisclub No, not the same design. Check your Facebook messenger
this is so cool, thanks for the tutorial
I’m glad you liked it :)
Nice idea of board to practice with yourself..
Yeah it really is :) great way to practice the mentality of the game too. Takes a lot of mental power to stay focused and consistent!
Excellent tutorial! I enjoyed watching. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Jose!! This was my first ever tutorial that I honestly thought was terrible the moment we finished it haha
@@dublintabletennisclub -No! Don’t think like that!
Thank you!! Hope you see my new ones that I will release soon :) Am back at it again!!
Are you polish dear friend. I am Catalan. You are awesome. Master class. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
No I’m not :) Born in Latvia and raised in Ireland since a young age!
Thanks for the comment! Come visit Dublin someday and pop by the club :)
This video is high quality for the subscribers that you have. Good job! Earned a sub from me
Thank you :) It was our actual first ever tutorial for the channel.
The board you can put on the table. Is it good?
Thankyou so much
Thanks. This was helpful
Glad you liked it :) Be patient when you're learning how to start and the rest is easy!
Your music can be overbearing. Great instructions.
Nice tutorial! Thank you!
I have more tutorials on other techniques as well on the channel :)

Cool board nice handy

very good video
I like starting it with a backhand flik rather than the forehand I will try it your way and see....
Yeah some people find it more comfortable and it gives you practice for your wrist as well :)

Hi, which kind of ball would be better to use with Wally rebounder, 3 stars ball ?
Yeah 3star balls would be more than good enough. Even adequate training ball quality would suit it.
Here is a link where you can find "Master" 1 star training balls from our store :) Free worldwide shipping.

Thanks for the great demo and introduction. Too bad the board is sold out now! 🤐
There is a new smaller version of the board that I will promote later in weeks :) Same principal, just smaller and cheaper.

Still haven’t made my mind on it
Can I also use this board for the table a little bit smaller than this coz I have slightly smaller table than the standard table?
Yes you can and actually this product comes with standing legs to put this board on the table. It is used more for flicking / combining with multi-balls, but it will work yes :)
@@dublintabletennisclub Aw great. Thanks very much for the information😊🙏
What spin is it sending back to you?
Still topspin from your own start, but it will be reduced spin and be added with more "speed" than spin. Your technique needs to control the speed and counter the spin each time.
I've just stumbled across this video and realised that is where the famous Simon Wilson laid haha. Great video though!
Same here, I can't believe he actually slept on the table haha
What is the size/ dimensions of the board...3ft x 1.5ft ?
Yeah about that! You making your own?
The surface area is 10 rubbers in total. Two rows of 5 rubbers :)
Good video
Where did you buy return board?
Link is in the description below :)
is your blade dhs pg7?
It is similar to that. It is a special edition blade that they do not manufacture anymore. But I would say the PG7 would be the closest. I would put European rubbers on it which is weird I know, but somehow it worked really well in control and touch when I coach. For playing I would use harder and tackier rubbers to suit the blade more. Makes it real fast.
Where to buy it
Hi there :)
Here is the link to them - wallyrebounder.com/
They reply very fast so get in touch :)
How long did it take for your Wallyboard to arrive and did you have anything to do about customs
We usually ship DHL Express to the EU and its around 3 business days transit time. I wish I could tell you if you would get any customs charges. It depends is what we have heard form customers depending on where they live.
would you still recommend this rebounder?
Yes :) I replied to you other comment in more details! In short, for sure get it to master any technique
I am really struggling with the forehand topspin any drills for a beginner
Subscribe and stay tuned as coming week we are releasing a full beginner table tennis tutorials. Some are uploaded now and more to come :)
which wood ?
Blade for the racket? Now I use Stiga 7.6 carbo. Very quick with counters and more important in blocking.
how can i get this board ?
Check the link in the description :) Great board AND still have it to this day!
@@dublintabletennisclub
the link doesnt work anymore
Oh that’s weird 😳 Sorry then you will have to search online for another version.
Super weird honestly
Sorry, then you will have to search online for an equivalent one
Way too wordy. One minute useful information; one minute of useful demonstration and 6:40 of just words. Still, I’d sit through it for the two worthwhile minutes.
Hahah I can see that you can tell this was my FIRST proper YT table tennis tutorial video :)
But why its so expensive?
10 rubbers used to build it plus the shipping makes for most of it. However we still have it and use it in 2023 and it's been so many years since we got it now! For sure a future long term investment for players and club :)
Thanks..pls dont sit on my table🤣
haha thanks Michael for the comment!! Had to have a cool stance cause I felt awkward in my first ever video ha
Партнер для такой тренировке лучше!
Ah this is the next best thing and your consistency depends all on you instead of a partner!! :)
Good but you talk tu much....!!!
Thank you for your criticism :) I will work on that.
