  1. Going from carbon blade w/ tensor rubbers to classic wood blade w non-tensor rubbers

    Fair enough, I overgeneralized and exaggerated a bit. What I had in mind when typing my previous post are the kinds of players who bring their own scale into a store and weigh out Tenergies above 100 grams, because that's what Boll plays for his forehand. I'm not even excluding myself, I went...
  2. Going from carbon blade w/ tensor rubbers to classic wood blade w non-tensor rubbers

    It's funny, as I improved and got better, my equipment got slower. I went up way too fast from a classic learning setup to an ALC/Tenergy or Hurricane setup. I can be quite hard admitting to yourself that you simply cannot support that gear with your body and technique (yet). Especially when...
  3. Anyone tried Michael Maze blade with Chinese Rubbers?

    I did, I can't compare it to a Viscaria or TBS/TB ALC, but I can tell you that it works really well with a Maze. It does require good footwork though. In my experience, 98% of players asking about these things are better off with a more controllable 7 ply wood blade - which harmonizes even...
  4. Ma Long and reverse pendulum

    While this is true and I completely agree, it does not explain why his reverse pendulum in particular got left behind in the 'arms race'. I think the reverse serve does not set him up for the third ball as well as he would like to. It must be a tactical thing, for someone at the world class...
  5. Problem Reverse Pendulum (to the forehand with backspin) - low spin and too high

    I can identify so well with this. I've been working on my reverse serve for like a good year, sometimes more intense and sometimes just winging it for months. Currently it's still a ****ing coinflip whether I get a good contact or complete misshit, and it's extremely frustrating at times

  9. CNT trial for WTTTC this week

    Was about to ask you the same! ;)
  10. CNT trial for WTTTC this week

    I really hope that Xue Fei can claim at least the U21 spot, and I'll go with the save bet on Lin Gaoyuan for the 1st place among the Men's team, considering how well he plays against his team mates over all. As for Women, I wouldn't mind Wang Manyu winning it. Maybe the female Fan Zhendong (Sun...

  13. CNT Apparel at Qatar Open 2018

    From what I can see on the streams the CNT is running around with new shirts. Is there any place that is selling them already? Or atleast someone who has closeup pictures of the shirts and shorts?
  14. Qatar Open 2018

    You answered yourself. 1 yellow card per 50 serves is a good quota if you ask me, why bother changing anything.
  15. Qatar Open 2018

    Because the february ranking determines the seeding, not the one from march. In Feb, Ovtcharov was #1, FZD #2 and Boll #3 iirc. Ovtcharov is injured, thus FZD ist first seed followed by Boll
