I dabbled in duels. Its a beautiful game with how you have to flow through the levels and be spacially aware of all the angles and timing your opponent and items. I attended one local competition in Quake 3, but I had no chance against the experienced players, so I let it be a side-thing I did...

Played a lot of nintendo when I was in my early teens, discovered online gaming in 2002 with Diablo 2 and played that for two years with many lvl 99 characters on online hardcore mode, then got into competitive gaming from attending local lans with friends. One of my friends who I played soccer...

As far as I understand, there is a norm of setting 1000 ELO on every player that has zero experience and 1250 on adult players that played when they were younger, but there has been a wave of adult players coming to the sport in Norway after a television show, so I believe there is a bit of an...

I tend to ask players I face how long they have played and in the start I felt I could keep up with most people that had played 1-2 years, but some young players shoot up to 1600-2000 after four years ... they do have a bit of a two dimensional game tho, and they get way way more coaching ...

Yes, I live in Oslo. I started directly in fourth division and I try to play some tournaments here and there. We have six divisions in total now, I think. I probably dont participate in enough tournaments. Some stalling over summer, but I play outdoors in the park then. I also play the league...

I doubt they can practically keep a lid on misuse of power in the age of free flowing information, but, personally, I have no information on the case in question. The problem appears when there is too much information for the users to practically relate to (inability to keep up with, inability...

Is this four year progress of my rating acceptable for someone born in 1984 who never tried any racket sports before, or should I re-evaluate my training methods / training environment?

Also, the pendulum serve seems to be the most efficient and fits into this system, right?

There are some parts of this I dont understand, but ... I am not quick enough (good enough game awareness) to apply topspin to a ball when I am close to the table ... or I dont have the short stroke forehand technique developed ... I have struggled hitting topspin vs topspin on forehand for...

Or I can start playing with short pips and stick to the table, right? I feel that the source of me not wanting to back off from the table is that the movement require so much out of me ... I am almost 100 kg of muscle :cry:

many forehand problems: a lot to do with lack of power in forehand that disappears from the body into the movement of the elbow, it seems. a bit too much icecream cone in the way I hold the racket, so no snap through the wrist. maybe hitting the ball a bit too far infront of the body. also...

Does Yinhe have ST large handle of the same circumference as Sanwei 75? Are there any high quality blades with same composition as Sanwei 75 Inner that have large ST grip (like the Stiga ST and Avalox ST grips)?

* Egalitarianism has entered the chat * This is a platform for language-use and language is a collective product. You are literally censoring your way out of participation in language, which is the basis of the thing you are using to make an argument for censoring in the first place. Maybe I...

Why is this even a feature? This ghosting culture needs to stop. Yes, people can be toxic, but so what? You are limiting yourself from the full range of human experience, and, as a consequence, will live an unexamined life.
