    You are getting better though. Isn't it AMAZING how much better you get in such a short time when you're finally being taught the right things by the right person? Haha.
    But just so you know, I don't believe that you should be focusing on what you're focusing on right now. I think that you should be focusing on your tactical game and your mental game. And knowing your tactics very well helps your mental game a lot due to you always knowing what you should do.
    Start with your serve + 3rd ball game. What you want is for them to push the ball back a bit too far and/or a bit too high down the middle or slightly to the right of the middle from your perspective. Then, you're able to hammer a forehand on the 3rd ball. And you can base whether you go to the inside-out corner or the diagonal corner on where you forced them to move to in order to receive. A lot of the time you will want to go to the diagonal corner. But, you need to make this shot very deep and very hard so that they have a harder time getting to it, and so that if they block it, then it either goes long or it comes back to you nice and high and at a good depth. That's when you take a little step towards the ball with your left foot, you lean your head forward and a bit downward, and you give it everything you have. But, just remember that you always have to wait a split second longer to start swinging whenever you're giving it everything at a ball like that. This is because your swing is going to take less time to get through. Anyway, you need to focus being great at serving in order to get the receive back that you want. Then, you need to be great at following your serves with smart attacks that are placed very well, and that have good pace and good spin on them.
    With receiving you need to first accept that a great server who follows up their serves with great attacks (like you should) is going to be tough to steal points from on their serves. That's just table tennis. However, your job is to figure out how to win just ONE of their service points each time they serve their 2 service points. The way you do this is actually by being more aggressive on your receive by doing things like pushing long and flat to their backhand corner, and by using the backhand flip against virtually anything that isn't heavy underspin which is very short. You've gotta make the 3rd ball tough to attack while placing it where they want to. That's why you need to try to keep from giving them balls to attack with their forehand that they don't have to move very much for. That's why you'll see most pros send the backhand flip right at their backhand corner.
    Remember: You're supposed to win both of your service points every time. And you should be trying to take at least one of their two service points from them each time. If you can take both from them, even better. But, mentally you need to know that you only need to take one because they have the advantage on the serve and they're supposed to win both of their service points, just as you're supposed to win both of yours. So, when you're taking one of their's each time, you're doing very well.

    You're struggling out of position because you keep practicing doing everything in position.
    I'm at the highest level. Yesterday, I hit the most awkward-looking forehand after not being able to step out on my backhand side enough. I hit it up the line and not inside-out to the diagonal. I was playing the hardest player to beat at my club, except for myself. He grew up training under former Chinese national players, as he is Chinese, and he's a penholder like me. Anyway, he could not get to my ball because I hit it with just as much quality as if I had stepped out properly.
    Let this be a lesson to you: You must learn shots from the perspective of how the racket hits a certain part of the ball, rather than solely worrying about what your feet are doing and what your arm is doing. This way, you're able to go for the winner still, even when you get put into an awkward position, or just a less than ideal position. Currently, you're only able to hit good shots when you get everything right with your body. You need to know how to send back quality shots when you aren't able to get everything right with your body. Players like myself are going to do things like hitting the ball on your forehand sideline every single time, and hitting the ball with incredibly heavy topspin loops, as well as low + flat pushes with decent underspin on them, RIGHT underneath you and on the baseline while you're standing close to the table there. Plus, we hit so hard and so accurately, and we hit at the extremes, and we know how to prevent you from dictating to us (meaning we will hit it somewhere other than where the 'flow" is), which means that we're very hard to predict and the power + location of our shots mean you're going to find yourself having to hit from on the move at full-speed A LOT. You will need to know how to hit quality counterattacks and attacks with your body in multiple different positions. Like, with my forehand up the line, I hit it from an awkward position, but I still hit it with the same quality and to the same spot as I would've from the perfect position.

      Like in BJJ, there are several ways to properly take someone down and there are also many ways to pass guard, as well as stop someone from passing your guard. If you only know the most prototypical way for each, then the people at higher levels will stop you, then get you by forcing you to move your body out of the positions you're comfortable in. And it doesn't matter how masterful you are at that one way for each thing because you can't do anything from any other positions.

    Play games like you train and train like you are playing. Nice goal.
    I would love to learn the connection between jiu jitsu and table tennis. And your framework of developing systems.

      For now I keep it very simple as I don´t understand TT on a high level. Started with the serve system and go from there. Overall learning new things on a regular basis right now is really cool and the puzzle comes together more and more. Thats why the number 1550TTR marks the level where the beginner level overcome. From a Jiu Jitsu perspective that would be a solid competition bluebelt. Meaning the basics are understood, solid defense (can´t really compare that to tt), no more big leaks in the game. Perfect base for further improvement.
