Actually Sjan, I've never met Larry Hodges. I only "know" him from internet forums. I certainly am not going to defer to him if I disagree and feel like I know what I'm talking about.I'm too lazy to...

None of us actually have any impact on what ITTF does because they have set it up to make sure it stays that way, and USATT is much the same.

Still, it is a TT forum so we might as well discuss...

This thread is actually becoming productive now. Just out of curiosity, and this is an honest question: What did Eberhard Schoeler do to hurt the sport?

(And I point out again, Larry Hodges has...

For viewers at home here is a primer on the OP, "Goo Hara".

He is in fact an infamous troll of TT forums going back at least 20 years, here, at MyTT, and before that at Dennis TT and AboutTT...

Or the two color rule and the Larry Hodges conspiracy 😅. That is a recurring theme.

On second thought Carl, lets just enjoy the thug life of being TT forum moderators. After all, we get our money...

I didn't threaten you. I explained to you how hidden serves work! The fact that you are the infamous internet table tennis forum troll who used to post as sjan was something I only mentioned AFTER...

It's in the ITTF Handbook for Match Officials. A quick Google will get it for you. In Section 10.3.1 there is guidance with diagrams on how they would like the vertical toss rule called. In it you...

Welcome to the world of sjan.

Here's how it worked. The ball comes out towards the table under the server's toss arm. The ball comes out almost parallel to the table surface. The receiver on the other side is standing, probably...

Hope it all come back soon. What is a martial arts breathing exercise consist of?

Not better or worse, different in ways. Guys like Gatien, Saive and Primoracs were just as strong physically as any modern players. Add Korbel to that, also Wang Liqin, even though they're not on...

Except it wasn't just Chinese players, it was everyone. Watch old video Gatien or younger Samsonov to see examples (I choose Samsonov because of how much his serve changed after therule). I spent...

Definition of a good serve in TT: Any serve that produces a weak return. In contrast to tennis, we don't serve aces. It is all about deception. That is the thing that has to be front and center....

Yes, here maybe you would take a PCR in 7 to 10 days. In any case, you are way past the time when IVM could have helped. Even advocates of IVM say it is for the earliest stages of Covid-19.

A few earlier reports suggested showed some promise very early in the infection (as soon as people showed symptoms), but later studies with more people and better controls showed no effect. Also it...

Yogi, in case you're interested, the infectious disease people where I teach say that people who have had the virus probably only need a single shot of vaccine to get the maximum effect. The...

A really important thing to keep in mind is that more and more and more spin is not always better. The thing you need to be able to do is to VARY the amount of spin but not allowing the opponent to...

Yogi, hopefully you will have a steady path to recovery. Sadly, some people have a strange post-Covid syndrome that can last indefinitely.

I hope our TTD forum members are still doing...

Yogi, I want to echo Dr. Evil. It's good you are talking about this. Also documenting your path to recovery might help some people too. Sometimes I doubt whether Dr Evil is actually evil.

Good sign that you're walking and thinking about playing! Hopefully you can taste your food. Also, you will have lost some muscle fitness from so much lying down, but it will come back.

Also Yogi, if you've got the energy to do it, please keep us posted on how you get on.

Get well Yogi. This has to be tough.

Both mater a lot and in my experience equally. But rubbers and blades don't have to cost as much as Tenergy to be good.

If there are bugs in my house can I report it?

Indeed. For a great example, watch videos of Vladimir Samsonov. He is perfectly content to play safe when he has to, which means sometimes he can regain the initiative later in the point. He never...
