I think some rubbers come with a premade glue layer on it though. I would probably still put on another glue layer

I'm talking about sidespin serve with "inside spin"

Another question regarding serves:

It seems many penholders seem to do a lot of hook style serves and keep the elbow in.

Can you also do "normal" pendulum serves with the elbow up like...

If he hits a lot of long fast serves maybe stand a bit farther away from the table so you have more time and when he serves short you step forward. Stepping forward is easier than stepping back.

I agree. For some time long pushes were a no no in high level table tennis and it was about always attacking first but with the 40 mm ball players got so good at counter looping that they are daring...

I read with modern rubbers usually the sponge dies before the rubber because the tension or factory turning goes away.

Great video. So thumb roughly parallel to the handle is probably better but a bit across is ok?

My backside fingers are slightly curled but all 3 tips of the fingers on the blade.

Works good...

Thanks, so it is mostly a personal preference thing whether I want more Stability, backhand or forehand ability and also based on my hand/finger flexibility and size and shape? ?

Here is timo on rubber hardness. It is german but you can make English subtitle. He is not a physicist so it probably isn't 100% correct but still interesting what he thinks.

He says as a kid he...

What is the advantage of straight vs curled fingers on the back side?

Wouldn't it depend on your level and your playstyle?

Most pros seem to prefer the most powerful BH rubber they can get since BH is a more compact and shorter swing and thus harder to generate...

Here is my grip playing penhold, using mostly RPB on the backhand side. What do you think about the finger placement? Could it be optimized?

The wheels always spin the same direction but if you want varying spin you need to spin the wheels at different speeds....

I think the guys picking up RPB quickly might be former SH players. RPB is much closer to SH backhand than TPB.

I'm pretty bad but I picked up a basic RPB pretty quickly after switching from SH to...

What I find interesting is that the young french penhold player lebrun uses the red side for his BH push while most PH players tend to do a TBP push with the black side (of course only if they use...

What grip are you using for push and receive game with penhold? Especially to the BH side are you staying in the RPB grip (if you play RPB) or do you turn to the traditional backhand grip with the...

I think physics and intent aren't the same. In all hitting sports batspeed will peak at contact and drop off there steeply like that simply due to newtons laws...

Getting off the swing I meant not being able to take a full swing at the ball and instead having to block or counter because there isn't enough time for a full topspin.

But if the opponent is at a...

I'm not qualified to comment on your technique in this thread so I won't do that but are you generally getting off your swings are are you often forced to block or counter hit because you lack time...

I use normal cheap curved nail scissors. Important thing is to put the curve facing outward and then cut along the wood

Can you recommend a cheap ish (maybe sanwei, yinhe or so) that is about all to all+ (all wood) blade for me?

I'm also fealing my yinhe v14 is a bit fast for me at this point.

I wouldn't do both. Baby oil and booster are both oils that are essentially do the same but the real booster is more efficient because it evaporates more easily.

If you put on both oils the baby...

Nobody cares about chess. An elo rating might be more objective but it leads to the chinese hiding their players, just training all year and then killing the euros at the worlds.

The new system...

Obviously the world ranking doesn't reflect true strength especially with the women.

There probably would be 30 chinese in the women top50 but they are not sent to international tournaments to...
