  1. Bamboo Blade

    There are some bamboo blades in the market. As an example, GYAP, a Chinese manufacturer, produces a number of bamboo blades. You can find some reviews on Chinese tt forums.
  2. Is ITTF corrupt? 🤔

    Surely, only legal rubbers can be used in formal competitions, but as an amateur, I do not mind unapproved rubbers being supplied at more affordable prices as long as they play good.
  3. Footwork..

    At one time I played on open-air table in the park, and it began to snow and the floor got slippery. I realized that I had to move my legs more often and with narrower strides to prevent falling over. Perhaps that is an idea to make you move.
  4. Why is Ma Long so good?

    Tons of practice, of course. But considering many other professionals also work hard, this is still a legitimate question: what makes Malong exceptionally good? I guess it is because his early coaches helped him find the most reliable way to hit the ball and control his body, which has become...
  5. Amazing match to watch

    close match, the defender just won by a fine margin. I think Sun Yang would do better.
  6. Why are only women in chinese crowd/ fans?

    They lack more meaningful activities to engage in.

    The YSE was received as described, and it was commendable that Sims33 packaged the blade meticulously, even incurring additional costs on his side. A reliable trading partner, resulting in a gratifying transaction.

  11. I used an AI code to translate any chinese subbed video

    I'm certainly not qualified to comment on the technique of such a top player as Dima, but I guess you are right. European players are more diverse in terms of stroke style, while Chinese coaches try to teach learners what they believe is the optimal way to play the game.
  12. I used an AI code to translate any chinese subbed video

    It's all right. By the way, I think the coaching accurately targets a common mistake made by many non-pro players.
  13. I used an AI code to translate any chinese subbed video

    红面 the red (rubber) side (here the coach emphasizes that thick contact is necessary for good looping) 不飞吗不飞啊 “(if I loop with thick contact,) will the ball not go over the table?" "not at all" 他球才能很稳定的过去不飘 (with thick contact,) the ball's trajectory will be very steady. 集中啊把球拉集中 when looping...
  14. I used an AI code to translate any chinese subbed video

    Yes, board means racket, not just blade. 'Professional' is a faithful translate, with which coach Fang highlights that professional players usually close the racket when preparing for backhand loop. The last one, hair should be replaced by serve.
  15. I used an AI code to translate any chinese subbed video

    more context needed, and it would be better with a reference to the video, but so far, I guess the meaning could be 'serve', which pronounce the same as 'hair' in Chinese
  16. I used an AI code to translate any chinese subbed video

    hello isaacdl, thank you for your initiative, which will surely benefit enthusiasts around the world. I'm Chinese myself and familiar with tt jargon. I understand English well. If you come across any language difficulty, do not hesitate to query.
  17. How much does physical training help in TT?

    For most amateur players, the shortboard is the technique rather than physical energy. A well-trained kid can play more powerful shots than a sturdy adult player as we can see in local clubs. It is only until the technique is no longer a restraint that one needs to consider the influence of body...
  18. Life, Existence, and the Meaning of Long Pips - The Opus Maximus of James Z

    Your argument makes sense to some extent. Actually, even for professional players, it is very common to have one wing stronger than the other. Both J. O. Waldner and Ma Long are quick examples. Considering that there are asymmetric blades there in the market, it is surprising to see so few...
  19. Sun Yang looks crazy good

    very impressive! just wonder what his road ahead would be like, considering the contemporary TT world is not easy for choppers
