Q: When should back away from table A1: when you are preparing to counter-loop or counter-drive. A2: After opening loop, opponent blocks the ball will come back with a lot of spin that was generated by your good self. You must back up to drive and if you don’t the ball kicks up and will mess...

Played in a local club league yesterday

if this was held in Asia, this thread will be seven pages of wefie, selfie, group selfie and group wefie... and only one page of words. Must be a Euro thinggy = no photo.

i went back three pages of this thread and still no photographs of you handsome lot. I am now tempted to believe you all attended an imaginary event 🤣🤣🤣 Come on, show me your faces. I wanna see all you handsomes.

Donic bluefire m1 turbo fits the bill: 1.Rainbow arc 2. ESN sponge hardness around 50 degree

this is a classic modern TT tactic. Serve to opponent backhand side with sidespin; ball will come back to server's bh. Server pivot aka step-around and fh loop for the win. this is just like the classic four moves checkmate in chess. every serious players knows it but sometimes, just sometimes...

This post serves to highlight that it seems I have a certain style of fh loop. If I let the ball drops a bit more and then loop upwards, my chance of ball landing is higher versus if I were to drive forward against high ball with backspin as shown. ( NB: I am responding to a poster here asking...

in my locale, a Gewo rubber price point is very very close to Dignics. It is a no brainer it does not sell well in my locale. Oh and btw, does not sell well is already an overstatement.

Another bh monster.

I wish to speak a bit about Seth’s video, especially the Type 1 spin-up technique he mentioned against ambiguous spin ball, that is to say, when you are not sure about the spin on the incoming ball. In the video, he recommends to spin up the ball to create a high loopy and spinny ball as the...

Yes sir, this is also what @NextLevel said to me in an earlier post. I guess this unker have to do what unker do best, focus on placement, rather than power. Welcome myself to unkerhood.

Even I surprise myself...
