  1. Lin shidong forehand

    +1 Is this elbow flex not enough Chinese to you folks? Sometimes, Our mortal eyes and shitty cameras may not enough to catch top pro’s details.
  2. How does the US TT rating work?

    No, it’s not unfortunately :D Also it looks like they are updated website :D quoted unlocking skills part. But still I find this list is just for fun, nothing serious. It’s really hard to measure except than score boards next to tables, which translates to ELO end of the day, also...
  3. How does the US TT rating work?

    I think this scheme is mere fishy categorization to mimic Role Play Game manner because it sounds cool. It looks like leveling up unlocking skills, increasing stats etc. 😂
  4. Let us talk about the mental / psychology aspect of the game.

    Of course I'm joking (like instagram TT influencers), I also %100 agree it's not easy, even the hardest is that one. Generally, I try not to talk before 5 minutes, go for a small walk outside, breathe etc. But still it happens.
  5. Let us talk about the mental / psychology aspect of the game.

    EZ. 1- Train more! 💪 2- More match practice/experience (Classic 'exposure' approach for psychology) 3- Don't think of result of matches, don't pressure yourself, don't let anyone (I must win, If I lose.., I need to ..., my rating.., my team... ❌) 4- Focus on the point you are playing, not...
  6. Let us talk about the mental / psychology aspect of the game.

    I don't know but it might be related with self(peer)-pressure, I've been facing with similar issue when I praised or said you'll win against this guy or I say myself that I will win this match, I need to win etc. Then boom, stress level increases then I become worse. But if I accept defeat, or...
  7. Feedback on my League games

    Hi @Zezima your angle mostly seems fine, which could be closer in forehand maybe. But I've realised all the missed shots are hit by lower end of racket, while successful ones are mostly on top or middle. I don’t believe fully that but coaches generally say spin with top, push with bottom of...
  8. What elo rating is TTD and Pongfinity?

    IMO -150/200 would be for USA, -400/500 for German TTR
  9. Does Wang Chuqin deserve the No. 1 Spot in the 2024 Year-End Rankings?

    I think no one deserves #1, not single person has significant presence over the year. but if we must to choose, he deserves if he succeed in this final, he was rocking from end of 2023 to Olympics.
  10. Top 5 annoying practice partners

    This is my main motivation to improve, so to get better training partners. But I feel some people behave like they don’t want practice at all, whether they are better or worse. Not they want just hitting hard or expecting from you, everything ordinary just boring for them.
  11. How do you learn best?

    I don't think they are so unaware how things works, of course they might not be master in Math and Physics etc. At least they should know TT ballistics. How the spin reacts on rubber, air, table, as well the body mechanics. But I believe they play majority of time with muscle memory, many...
  12. Rubber and Blade Reccomendation for Beginner-Intermediate Player

    I can’t say your next rubber but keep the current ones until they worn out unless money is no issue. I don’t think they won’t be your biggest enemy, source of mistakes for now. But of course, blade is more sellable, durable, collectable item. Outer koto carbons are different world, just any...
  13. First setup for basement player

    You are welcome, glad to hear. No, there is a misunderstanding, forward is good for drive, just the source of force is mainly from body twist, not elbow or shoulder. You don’t need “up motion” much for this kind of ball. Keep your racket high, press it to forward with body swing. Looping...
  14. First setup for basement player

    Hello @Pe-ter To begin with It's really good for no coaching, If you don't mind I have couple feedbacks, Backhand: Actually it's pretty well for no coaching, your elbow very stable (nice), keeping your body in front all the time, swing mostly to forward, good relax after finish. However...
  15. Liang Jingkun changed blade at WTT Finals Fukuoka 2024?

    it seems very likely as a Butterfly blade, A Silver tag seen at bottom. (Not old tag 😌 ) the most clear picture I can catch, still text is not readable but very similar to viscaria. Maybe he just lost/forget/broke his main and using from anybody in CNT. 😅
  16. Recommend a BH rubber

    I haven't tried other versions only 05 and 19, they almost overlap in lineup (highest spin side) but 19 feels really fun to play wit it. soft top-sheet, faster and spinner version of rakza 7 at similar hardness with lot better grip. Top end might not be good as 05 but still more than enough...
  17. Recommend a BH rubber

    Tenergy 19 👌 it's fast at first but after 2-3 months, you get used to. however durability isn't that long, but it's still should be not bad at all.
  18. I recorded myself

    Sorry, it is not good to continue from my side, the direction of this conversation seems not going somewhere productive. Good luck in your endeavour.
  19. I recorded myself

    Are you joking?
  20. I recorded myself

    you are welcome, if you want to train at your home, just do FH-FH drive with correct mechanics and footwork, until you master it like 50 decent speed ball. Do not try fancy looping etc by yourself, only do what your coach have taught you, otherwise most likely you will execute poorly and get...
