  1. Tahl Leibovitz - Awkward Entertaining

    Well, in this case, Tahl is much worse than his opponent and had basically given up on the match. But it was an amazing point and show of ability with both hands.
  2. New Equipment 2021

    Music&Ping has written several posts calling the Chinese cheaters for boosting their rubbers. He seems not to realize that non-Chinese professional players all do it as well.
  3. Forehand Loop against UNDERSPIN Technique

    You might have much better shots, especially on the backhand, if you tried to implement the "eating the ball" concept mentioned, rather than disregarding that concept because of your thoughts on dwell time. Every shot you hit has the same speed and no spin variation. The shots you are receiving...
  4. Forehand Loop against UNDERSPIN Technique

    How is he "setting himself up as a coach"? He presented this video as nothing more than things that have worked for him, and have been passed along to him by successful fellow players and coaches. All the things stated in the video are fundamental practices that have been used for developing...
  5. I prefer to watch ML & FZD for the 1000th time than any other TT players

    Great to know! Be sure to inform Timo, Dima and all of them that the reason they haven't been able to beat the Chinese consistently is that the didn't realize how fast the ball is.
  6. New Equipment 2021

    You do realize that non-Chinese players all boost, and in some cases have custom rubbers too, right?
  7. Fraser Riley - 1 - WHO IS THE BEST YOUNG PLAYER IN THE WORLD?

    I'd think your FZD contacts could fill you in...
  8. Fraser Riley - 1 - WHO IS THE BEST YOUNG PLAYER IN THE WORLD?

    Let's go through the insanity of this post from start to finish. Before we start, I'll mention that you clearly didn't read my post where I said WCQ is clearly ahead of the other two, so you are arguing a point which I've already made. So you said that LYJ doesn't care, do you have any links to...

    I think I meant to quote Archyan on that one.
  10. Fraser Riley - 1 - WHO IS THE BEST YOUNG PLAYER IN THE WORLD?

    Kallberg is a good player who seems to have made a major improvement this year, but to say he is "not even at 60% of his potential" is a stretch. He is 23 years old and has been a stalwart of the ITTF scene for a long time now. He will improve some but it is not likely going to be two-fold. My...
  11. Editorial: It's hard to know if an equipment change actually makes you better

    All of them. It's not a statement. It's a question, regarding your past experience. Have you ever?
  12. Fraser Riley - 1 - WHO IS THE BEST YOUNG PLAYER IN THE WORLD?

    You make ridiculous claims like you get paid for it.
  13. Editorial: It's hard to know if an equipment change actually makes you better

    Watch a good player with good technique power loop with hard rubber and then loop with soft rubber and see if you notice a difference.
  14. Editorial: It's hard to know if an equipment change actually makes you better

    No, Timo Boll does not use R53 because he has been sponsored by Butterfly for over 2 decades. That would be Simon Gauzy. Common mixup. The point of this thread, as I understand it, is not that there are hardly any differences between rubbers. There are definite differences between rubbers. The...
  15. Fraser Riley - 1 - WHO IS THE BEST YOUNG PLAYER IN THE WORLD?

    Lin's forehand looked noticeably stronger in the RESTART. So did Harimoto's. I don't think either has taken the lead in upgrades. Both still have a lot of room for improvement but I think it is worth considering that Harimoto has been playing for 5 years longer than Lin and likely has had more...
