  2. Coach Xiao Han is so funny

    Not sure about funny, but definitely way better than the garbage He Huming churns out (even though I can only listen to the translation, and not the Chinese original).
  3. Other ways to cheat

    Do not cheat, just hold a gun in your free hand. I usually win 11-0 11-0 11-0 11-0.

  5. Sleeping after a late TT session

    Nope, it is just the adrenaline/cortisol or whatever it is. I do not think about TT in bed at all, just too pumped up after a session, even if it is just training.
  6. Sleeping after a late TT session

    Z-drugs can make you dependant on them for sleep, and most of all, doctors in Canada really do not want to prescribe it. I have tried. At most they prescribe me Orexin antagonists (lemborexant), but those are weak and do not help at all if you are high on TT. I tried zopiclone before, and it...
  7. Sleeping after a late TT session

    The problem is, on *weekdays* I can only play after work (and it is the same for the majority of ppl in my club). I can start 5-6pm, but most players come after 7pm (it makes sense. You finish work 5-ish, need to get home, have dinner, then head to the club).
  8. Sleeping after a late TT session

    I cannot sleep if I play TT late (finish after 7-8pm, say). I normally go to bed around 10pm, and often sleep like shit anyway, but playing TT in the evening just ruins my sleep completely. Any advice on how to handle this? I am sure I am not the only one suffering from this. EDIT: cue toxic...
  9. I need a clear answer, when receiving, when does the ball has LESS spin? Off the bounce? Or after it reached its apex?

    Ugh, I watched some of his videos. His explanations are some of the most idiotic I've seen, just like in the video linked ("milliseconds later the spin is reduced"). Often he know the right thing to do, just does not know why. Athletes, duh. The head is for eating into it.
  10. ITTF issued a call for a more integrity of the sport.

    I would like to report all pros for illegal serves.
  11. Best forehand

    full disclosure: I am writing this sleepy in the morning and all my opinions are wrong. Best spin: I nominate Timo and Xu Xin Best speed: Ryu Seung-min and Ma Lin come to mind. Best power: not sure what that is, probably a nonsense category? Best form: Ma Long and Kong Linghui. Best overall...
  12. WTT Champions Macao 2025 - 9-14 Sep 2025

    I watched it again, I think the serve at 7-7 was a net. Not sure what happened at 4-4.
  13. WTT Champions Macao 2025 - 9-14 Sep 2025

    Xiang Peng stole 2 points. "Not ready" on the first point is laughable. After the edge ball he actually nodded to the umpire confirming that the call was correct and there was no edge. As dirty as it gets.
  14. I need a clear answer, when receiving, when does the ball has LESS spin? Off the bounce? Or after it reached its apex?

    The ball loses spin when it bounces on the table (backspin serves lose the most spin), but it does not stop spinning. Time in the air does not change the spin much. Pros return the ball off the bounce for different reasons (can drop short, the ball is rising, so you get a better angle on the...
  15. Looking for an inner blade with small head size

    https://ospblades.com/ let's you pick head size. They have Virtuoso AC.

    Hi Michael-Mazed him.
  17. ITTF WTTC Finals Doha 2025, 5/17-25

    What if she did not see it or was not sure? Maybe attack the cheater instead of the player who caught the cheater? Sure, because they all cheat (except very few like Vladi or Timo). But the ITTF started working on this, and the unwritten rules are changing as we speak. There is no point...
  18. ITTF WTTC Finals Doha 2025, 5/17-25

    What a brilliant analysis. She called out an illegal serve, what an asshole. No wonder zeio thinks tieba users are better than us.
  19. ITTF WTTC Finals Doha 2025, 5/17-25

    Do you mean "some randos on the internet"?
  20. Something a bit quicker than Fastarc G1?

    Try Tenergy19. It is a little bit faster than G1, and spinnier.
