UpsidedownCarl quoted me. I wonder if he understands what I said?
Hey, I think you have a bunch of good things to say. And I also agree with you and think this poster--vvk1--had something right:
IMHO, Pnachtwey got it right in the last 3 paragraphs here:
http://www.tabletennisdaily.co.uk/f...-throw-rubbers&p=115454&viewfull=1#post115454 (and if it wasn't for his "online personality traits" people would agree with him more instead of pretty much dismissing his claims almost outright).
I am 100% confident that most of your problem is your online personality traits. Because a lot of the technical info is decent. It is just that you are always using it in a way to try and make someone else look bad instead of trying to give useful information. Then you end up in these arguments where you say stuff that is just plain stupid to try and make someone else look stupid. Like insisting that NextLevel said he "can't" loop backspin with T25 when what he meant was it isn't as good for that as a rubber like T05; or like when you insist that you are looping in videos where you are obviously not generating any significant spin.
If you presented the information to help people instead of trying to find people to insult, a lot of what you say would be good stuff. But when one combines the fact that what makes you happy is trying to find people to call stupid, and then the fact that your TT skills with smooth rubber are pretty abysmal compared to all the smack you talk, it totally nullifies so many of the useful things you say.
Again, this is because you say things to try and make others look stupid. Not because you want to help anyone.
So, yeah, vvk1 got a lot right. The technical is there and he also got that your online personality gets in your way.
And he presented much of the same information to help people understand some of the technic information about what may be going on without trying to put anyone down. There were some other good posts in this thread where good information was presented without anyone trying to put anyone else down.
Why did I quote you? Well, I have a feeling I knew what you were going to say in this thread because it is a complete repeat of the previous thread. Even the stuff I quoted, most of it isn't bad, but how you say it actually is.
However, there is no way around this being kind of stupid and it demonstrates the flaw in your online personality:
Oh. By the way: "How does a rubber know if it is close to the table or away?" Okay, I couldn't resist. That one was entirely too witty for me to leave out.
That one wasn't about a rubber's throw angle. But it seems that you are saying that all rubbers play equally well at all distances. And of course that is really not accurate. Some rubbers do perform better close to the table. Others play better from further back.
I bet there are a few people out there who might have a good explanation for that. Like, a rubber whose speed to spin ratio was more on the speed side of the equation may perform better from further back.
