kinda why i chose it ;) additional inspiration from this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EY7lYRneHc

yeah, being tall is a problem for close to the table play and in general due to the distance that the nerve impulses have to travel. work hard on footwork and leg strength ... maybe stand a touch further back to give yourself a tiny bit more time to react. there is always the "loose as much body...

the big thing that messes a lot of people up against defensive players is the spin they put on the ball coming back at them. massive topspin plus bit of sidespin loop comes back to you as massive backspin with a bit of sidespin. what do you do? try to re-loop? you are going to have to be in...

just use sweat and your hand to clean the rubber .. cheapest and best way to keep the tack during practise and matches.

still recovering from serious medical issues which have prevented me from playing for around 2 years now. just being able to play without crippling pain or using lots of painkillers would be my goal.

love tg3 bs, h3 bs, h3 os, moon pro, big dipper really want to try battle 2

seriously doubt that this is a workable solution from a number of angles, basically boiling down to removal of way too much for the addition of something that is of disputable value.

plenty of players have modifications to their blade (filing down wings on penhold, grip tape or tape to bulk up handle, edge tape/no edge tape, handle change) that would never be practically possible with this sort of rule.

the wrc and world superbikes along with a bunch of other motorsport series use homologation as you mention, this does not do what you expect it to. take for example the vtr100sp1 that honda developed, the base bike is homologated ie the manufacturer has to make x number of them available for...

no idea really without more information or pictures of the equipment. needless to say that this person obviously knew how to use their equipment to generate a lot of spin ... the important thing is that technique + equipment = results but the technique part is the most important as it translates...

i wouldn't waste money putting good rubber on a pre-assembled blade. there are plenty of good, cheap options for both rubbers and blades that will not cost a lot. here are a few examples : - yinhe 896 blade (superb blade for the money and really good quality) : price from around 12euro - yinhe...

i've got a pg7 with h3n on forehand and yinhe moon pro on backhand ... it's a really good setup for looping, but it depends on the quality of the blade you get (mine is pretty good, others have varying experience as the quality is a bit inconsistent). never played with t05 so can't comment on it...

non-sticky plastic sheets applied after cleaning the rubber with a bit of sweat once you have finished playing works for me. if you want to store for a while apply a thin coat of olive oil after cleaning and then put on the plastic cover sheets. this also restores the rubber's tack & grip.

i'd play 7 days a week if i could, pity i'm medically unable to atm :(

agreed, finding someone to train with who has roughly the same mentality towards training can be difficult. i've trained at 2 clubs and found that i prefer a structured class vs trying to convince a random person to do drills they may not know or are unwilling to do (maybe they are just a...
