  1. How to remove the glue from the rubber's sponge?

    FInally, a positive experience: Having initially applied 2 layers of Donic Blue Contact (thicker type of glue) to assemble the racket, I was able to rub it off gently with top of my finger(s). Though working quite well, after a few minutes of rubbing and a painful blister on top of my finger, I...
  2. Extreme Table Tennis Training with weights and UFC masks!

Ended the training last evening with long, deep practice serving as well and placed a towel on my own table half, 1 foot from the end line, to force a first bounce near the end line. I really was surpriced how many FH pendulum serves hit the towel! Had to adjust...

  8. Two types of backhand flick

    Niwa describes the contactpoint (as lefty) to be right/top side of ball (see URL article in above post) . I always wonder if you could do this on heavy backspin as well or in that case switch to side or side/under? Please let me know your experience with regards to the ball contact point in...

  15. Totally frustrated and fed up!!!!!!

    Perhaps not the level you have in mind, but from above quote you'll see Andy took some perception with him fom the table. My experience is that it helps to start writing down these perceptions.
