Effectiveness of tucking in shirt
Discussion

For some reason I feel like I am able to play better when I tuck in my shirt. What about you alois and the other pingskillers?

Hi Jasper,
It is about being comfortable.
I think I carried during my playing days of having it tucked and not tucked. Currently definitely not tucked.
What about our other readers?

Well I am very irritated when it is not tucked in,not only in table tennis but in all life overally :D
But in table tennis it is so irritating that I have to stop the rally due to it.
I think it depends on the shirt. You don't want a shirt that is flapping around but if it is tucked in tightly it can constrict free movement. So on balance (IMHO) get a shirt that feels comfortable but not too loose when not tucked in.

I noticed almost all of the top players have their shirts tucked in too.
