  1. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Ok, here it is! I may repeat something other people have already commented as I did not read all the advices. Things to work on in training and things to lean into whilst playing a match you want to win are very different. First match against the left handed player: it looks like you were...
  2. The long pips challenge

    Love this! I have put a Feint Long III for 8 months last year and had a lot of fun with it. I find modern defenders to be the most fun type of game to watch and I just wanted to try it. I can't recommend it enough for people who struggle with unconventional styles, it will help you understand...
  3. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Hi! I arrive quite late to this but maybe I can add a little something. You nailed it when you said you need to shorten your fh swing, just keep in mind that everything you do after you touch the ball is quite useless, so maybe try to put more quality in that short moment before you contact the...
  4. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Hi Josh! Nextlevel has told me to look in this post and give some advice if I want, so I took the last video uploaded :D. It's a very short video and you are the first one to say that you were tired (which shows quite clearly, if you are tired I would take a break instead of doing half-hearted...
  5. Time to try Hurricane 3

    I would say J1 is half way between boosted H3 and the Tibhar K3 (unboosted, anything before H3 I've always used unboosted) I was using before. Boosted H3 makes the rubber quite notably heavier (on the already head heavy long 5), which is not a problem for me but I know many people don't like it...
  6. Why doesn't Nittaku fastarc G-1 spin as much as my soft tensor rubber can?

    The rubbers you have are perfectly fine for developing your technique. Just stick to them for a couple of years (change them for new sheets of the same model after you use them for 100 -150 hours of training, when you pass the ball on it and it slips instead of gripping) of consistent training...
  7. Time to try Hurricane 3

    So here I am, of course I could not wait that long to try the rubbers, I could feel them staring at me everytime I opened the closet. I bought 3: all h3 neo 40 degrees, one commercial, one provincial orange sponge, one provincial blue sponge. I have taken the provincial orange sponge, boosted...
  8. Offtopic - Car you'd buy for your family and team

    I just bought a second-hand Dacia Jogger (2022 - 50.000 kms on it) for my expanding family. Mine is a 5 seater, but you can also find a 7 seater. It comes with GPL already from the company. It is everything you described and more: comfortable, cheap but safe, plenty of space. It's manual gearbox...
  9. Most optimal playstyle/strategy to master

    I bet he's wearing flip flops :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
  10. Most optimal playstyle/strategy to master

    I feel like it's actually an interesting question! There is a general part, that literally everyone should focus on first and foremost if they want to win matches: serve and third ball attack. If you can develop deceptive serves, these will be good forever and give you enormous advantage...
  11. FS golden viscaria, w968, many butterfly & Nittaku blades & rubbers for good price

    Hi Charles, sorry but what does the "danish oil" do to the handle?
  12. Is it unfair to say “yes”/“cho” when the opponent makes an error?

    To be fair, here in Spain I hear a lot of "Vamos". I am italian and I like it and use it a lot, I think I'm allowed being a resident here :ROFLMAO:
  13. Is it unfair to say “yes”/“cho” when the opponent makes an error?

    My 2 cents, it is an advice that I give first and foremost to myself, as it needs repeating and there will be relapses: Losing sucks and focusing on what the winning opponent does after winning the point is just a natural defense to externalise the problem. If it helps you play better (I.E...
  14. Time to try Hurricane 3

    Thank you so much everyone for your answers! @lodro I hope I am towards the end of my EJ journey really, I have blasted through quite many woods in the last two years, and luckily I have found one to keep with. To me the wood really provides the feeling and it was hard to find one I clicked...
  15. Time to try Hurricane 3

    Thank you for your answer. My query is more on the questions I have written after the "Here is my plan on which I would ask for your opinions and thoughts" section. The introduction was to give a context to my level and avoid opinions on IF trying a hurricane is a well thought choice: I have...
  16. Time to try Hurricane 3

    I did play them in university, but it was never H3 and it was a totally different time and game, I think I could even fresh glue them the first year and when they banned it I turned to tensor like everyone. Lots of fresh glue and an amazing sound and spin, I don't know if I'm romanticizing a...
  17. Time to try Hurricane 3

    Hi Mamedium, Thank you for your answer, I think that very specific style of play that H3 serves can ...serve me well (pun intended :ROFLMAO: ): I rely heavily on serve and receive variation, and big definitive forehands, either speedy or very spinny (with the added lefty trickstery and...
  18. Time to try Hurricane 3

    Hello everyone! Yep, another Hurricane 3 post, I'll try to keep it short and sweet, I would love the input of @Tony's Table Tennis and other experts of chinese rubbers of a similar level. The reason I need some advice is that no one in my table tennis surroundings has ever really played chinese...
  19. What brand of TT balls do you prefer?

    I like Nittaku premium and Joola Prime. In my club we train also with Naraq 3* Premium which I also like and recommend. When nittaku premium changes color it is time to break it - change it of course. I feel like Joola prime life span is longer somehow. I play in Madrid, Spain and on many...
