BTW: with harder rubbers, (50-53) you better have really big impact force and good spin contact or you are wasting your time. If you can't compress the sponge on impact while making the right kind of contact, you are using less than 1/10th of the potential of that rubber. And the reason some...

May as well bump this thread. :)

It is entertaining how many things are asserted as good for YOU when they are personal preferences and the person writing only has an idea of what HE likes and that idea is only based on vast experience from all the way back in April of 2023!!! One thing I have learned about table tennis...

Watch this video of ZJK doing multiball drills to hone skills back in the day: Watch the whole thing. Note the variety of different kinds of drills they work on with him. Note the random drills: how much faster some of the are than a real game ever could be. Note those drills where they...

I would say, before the match, first do the block practice that gets you grooving the shot so you feel confident; then try to do a random practice where that ball is given to you randomly after any number of other balls and see how that goes. When you can get those in solidly, see how it feels...

If you are doing the "skill" over and over in a set pattern, that just simply does not mean you can bring it over into a random scenario like match play where the one specific shot comes at you after something quite different. So, if you are thinking the set pattern of doing it over and over...

If it is block where, when he gets back to it, he is doing many in row, he still can end up thinking he's got it after the first few. If it appears in a drill where he does not know the placement or the spin of the ball beforehand, and the previous shot had a different spin and placement, and...

Thanks Zeio.

What you posted is not separate from Tony's thread about FZD announcing his retirement. So, your thread has been merged into Tony's thread.

I tried google translate on this and it didn't work. Translate what you wrote into English or remove it.

@mcfly & @Jan_ I have removed your posts where you are going at each other because the argument was pointless. I am going to suggest you each avoid the other at least for the next few weeks. If I do see another instance of you two making personal attacks at each other, I will just give you...

Probably some of that is in your head. What you describe sounds like exactly what a HYBRID rubber is supposed to be. My sense is, you just have been infected by the EJ Virus and want to mess with your equipment much more than you should. This is, of course, also based on our PM chain rather...

Yep. That is the best time to experiment.

If the sponge is playing well and the topsheet is not gripping well, boosting won't do much. If the topsheet is gripping but the sponge is starting to feel less elastic and reactive, then boosting would help. Really, you can boost any time you want. But what boosting does is expand the...

I removed all the content about English language and translating from Chinese. There was a translation provided by AchyGeorge. To me, that seems to be enough. The rest was just taking up unnecessary space. I would say to each side, that issue was not worth creating animosity. - The...

Wouldn't you need to try those classic blades with the ball that they were used with? It is very interesting to take an old 38mm Nittaku 3 star and it with it with a modern racket. The 38mm ball is SOOOOOOOOOO much faster and gets sooo much more spin. If you are testing an old blade from...

You just need to play matches against people like that a lot more. Whether you realize it or not, that guy is good enough to control everything about the points and move you around while you are hitting right to where he wants you to. For him to do that, even if you don't see the technique...

https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/data/video/28/28705-5f62d7296ace63b5043900ea54917b2f.mp4 Yep. You actually look fairly decent especially if you have only been playing for 10 months. You do need more game experience though. I don't think it is more complicated than that. Your FH...

As far as this: everyone has to start somewhere. If you are having fun playing, that is really the main thing that matters. And if you are not so good, it just means you have plenty of things to work on. We will only know what they are if you post footage. But table tennis is a game that...

Yeah. I am always surprised how people will give advice without seeing how you play. It is a bit like someone telling you what size shoe to wear without being able to see what size your feet are. If you post footage, the people who don't know what they are looking at will still give bad...
