75 Tibhar Tips: Building Better Players One Lesson at a Time

Paddle Palace is proud to present the complete collection of 75 Tibhar Tips, created to help players of all levels sharpen their skills, strengthen their training, and enjoy the game more.

These tips come directly from Doru Gheorghe, Head Coach of the Texas Wesleyan Rams and a member of the US Table Tennis Hall of Fame. With decades of experience developing champions at one of the strongest college programs in the world, Coach Gheorghe has distilled his knowledge into short, practical insights that every player can use.

The project was made possible thanks to the support of Tibhar, Texas Wesleyan University Table Tennis, and the National Collegiate Table Tennis Association (NCTTA). Together, we’ve worked to create a resource that blends professional expertise with the energy and passion of college competition.

Each Tibhar Tip focuses on one key element of the game—whether it’s footwork, serve receive, mental toughness, or respecting your practice partners. The goal is simple: give players actionable advice they can take straight to the table.

We’re excited to continue sharing these tips across social media and helping grow the table tennis community with clear, thoughtful coaching.

A heartfelt thank you to Tibhar, Coach Gheorghe, Texas Wesleyan University, and the NCTTA for making this series possible.
