  1. The Myth of the Perfect Forehand

    I think it's perfectly OK that they use what we call "less perfect" technique ;-), when they are older. I think they know what they are doing... Yeah, is there any point in growing when we'll die? We play for the moment, and then perhaps for the reflections of that/those moment(s) during some...
  2. The Myth of the Perfect Forehand

    My experience for the last 7 years, since I returned to the sport, is different. First, I'd not say that the goal is to win points. That we can say about profis. But for us, amateurs, we can have different goals, and/or mixtures of goals, to have fun, to sweat, to win (yes), to feel good during...

    @Matt Hetherington @zeio @Tyce @NextLevel <= required to participate in the TTD meeting!!! ;-) I book Matt first, and I've already booked @Der_Echte ;-)

    Hey, @dingyibvs, I like your approach of deconstructing the stroke and identifying the parts, and seeing it then as an orchestrated composition of the parts, where the timing of them is crucial. What I'd like to add, is that always when you have parts, there can be, and usually is, multiple...

  6. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    I think TM is so advanced, that we can only dream about his level, and he doesn't really go elbow close to the body during backswing. He may not go completely the same path back, off course, but that was not my point. There is a range in all things, and let's say ML goes back elbow close to the...
  7. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Standing wider, this will make you lower. You can go lower, and not stand wider, but that will feel weird. Try going wider, instead. Standing too wide, is also wrong. You can experiment and find the range. Also you can try to make the V angle a bit more between the feet. Again experiment, when...
  8. Most consistent BH rubber for opening up the game

    Imo it's pretty forgiving, e.g. more than rozena, more than R7 (both very good), still capable of spin... Try and identify what more do you need...
  9. Most consistent BH rubber for opening up the game

    I liked Vega Pro, your profile says you use it, what do you think about it?
  10. Dignics and its Effect on Sales of Tenergy and Rozena

    Explain this to me. Since I've returned to TT I've avoided Butterfly rubbers because I've considered it over-prized, and I thought I can find whatever I need elsewhere. On the FH I've somehow started to like the dense sponge, and it's already couple of years. On the BH, I tried many rubbers and...

    @SDC, what is your definitive position on the concept of weight??? ;-) I mean, people speak about diffs. in blade models, but I'd say for me the diff. in weight is at least as important. Do you see it the same, or can you provide some nuance here?

    @Tony's Table Tennis - it's time ;-)
  15. Need easier to use alternative to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo

    Viscaria is not really an example of stiff blade. And also, we don't know the weight, an 85g blade vs 95g blade is basically like a different model, there is too much difference, can't really compare. So the couch may know what he is doing. I could imagine growing a kid with light and...
  16. Politics - Any and All Political Discussions Not Really Related to TT

    It's a wake-up call, which sadly, for some people, works as "benzodiazepine" ;-) The time to wake-up is almost as personal as taste for rubbers ;-)
  17. Dignics 09C – Serious Quality Issue NOT STICKY ? Let’s Talk About It.

    Wow. Can confirm the tackiness, but the duration - that surprises me. C55 after 2 months was asking to be replaced, D09C was in really good shape... Bad, because I like C55 3x more ;-)
