Is any of this being televised or broadcast on YouTube? I've just realised that our coach is playing in it!

A few things. Dignics 05 has a relatively hard sponge and it needs good racket speed to extra it's a speed. When you do this properly, it is not a slow rubber. But 05 does benefit in terms of speed with outer ALC or Viscaria, as compared to an inner ALC. Have you considered a different blade...

I don't really keep up with these trends, I know FZD tried Zyre as it was mentioned in here a few times...but I assumed he would go back to H3. Out of interest, what does he use now? Stayed with Zyre? I think that for DHS to lose market share then Butterfly would have to take over in China...

I've used my TT network to find as many places possible for me to play. My own club does Monday and Wednesday evening. Two other clubs also do Monday evenings, so in case I can't make it to my own one I can usually drop in to one of them. Another club does Thursday evening and there's a Thursday...

Well you worded it about as badly as could be done. So what did you want tobdlsay, exactly? If I understand correctly you were supposed to say: - players not using H3 might consistently occupy the top places of the world rankings - which might impact the sale of H3 - which might in turn lead...

That would be so hilarious. The CNT loses a few games, blames the equipment and starts EJing 😂 Maybe they'll start posting in here for advice on blade pairings! 😉

Here, I'm not trying to make your life as a moderator difficult, I realise it an absolute minefield to moderate this type of rubbish and that's exactly why it shouldn't even be in here. I have at least 12 arguments I could make (rhetorical, logical, functional, philosophical, factual, moral etc...

Sure But the real question is "why does such a section even exist on a TT forum"? That's absolutely the real question and there is no adequate, sufficient or proper answer. It's absolutely stupid to have a forum dedicated to specific hobbies and interests (TT, Guitars, Motorcycles etc etc etc.)...

Anyone falling for such nonsense deserves what they get 🤷‍♂️

I didn't expect my comment to lead to so much discussion, it was more a suck it and see suggestion. But just to clarify where I was coming from. I believe you initially said he had an easy time blasting through the ball and that was fine for a low backspin ball. This suggests that it is not...

I don't know if it's easier. It's definitely not easier at first. Look, you were dealing very well with those low/med backspin balls in the video. Someone said that low backspin allowed you to blast through the ball. I was just saying that this can also be done v heavy backspin if you don't...

I presume you mean the exact opposite here and instead of horizontal racket you meant to say vertical racket. This changes things completely. Lifting heavy backspin with a loopy, slow, high arc ball from a vertical racket is where most of us start when looping V backspin. But if you want to do...

He did say that about his own technique afterwards but your points (1, 2 & 3) were all referring to the kid coaching so I wasn't sure you'd realised it was directed for coaching children as your points were all strongly worded specifically against that part.

I think it's down to recognising heavy and light backspin balls and choosing the most effective way of dealing with them. I have found that there is an evolution after first learning to loop backspin that teaches different ways of looping each type of spin. For example I know a player (a better...

I would disagree with you here. My experience (and indeed my coaching received) has said that the more backspin there is on the ball the more you should hit into the ball when looping. Very light and upward brushing against very heavy backspin will always go into the net. You need that sponge...
