  1. Custom made soulspin Zylon Carbon blade

    That's an odd looking dust collector... I kid, I kid! Soulspin do wonderful work -- I just got a new blade from them as well. Custom basalt setup. What style do you use the off+++ for?
  2. The FANG grip!?

    Ever since a wrist injury severely limited my available playing styles, I have been tinkering around with equipment and grips looking for a viable approach... now, introducing the FANG grip! I wasn't sure if this style had really been used before (I'm sure some people have tried it over the...
  3. Top 10 defenders in world table tennis?

    Or some times no one does and you get the push rallies... not as exciting to watch, but still very technical and deceiving. Varying spin and placement is an art of its own! Great match though! Both of those guys had terrific forehands
  4. Current short pip forehand players?

    Well I guess there are different styles that use more or less spin. Could be the high follow through that is throwing me off. But dont the real flat smashes usually go more straight through? It doesn't look like the receiver is having to adjust much compared to blocking top spins. Is it a newer...
  5. Who's right? Fan Zhendong or Kristian Karlsson?

    Attempting two shots isn't a big deal, is it? I see that here and there when people fake slam high lobs, then drop them short. It doesn't look like kristian hit the ball two times, but the point was played out fully anyway. Fan only complained after the point finished, didn't he? Somebody make...
  6. Current short pip forehand players?

    Looks like a fair bit of spin on your hits? Do you flat smash?
  7. How to recover after few days of consecutive play

    Guess that depends how you play. A cement footed blocker is vastly different from a ma long looping wanna-be!
  8. Current short pip forehand players?

    Yang sheng got beaten by ding ning? I was hoping to see more shakehand players using short pips. And it seems the ones I do find... almost always use their inverted backhand to rally. Not really any forehand dominant pips players, aside from the pen holders. They bh bh bh until a pop up comes...
  9. Current short pip forehand players?

    Man that guy is impressive! They say that style is too old school... but youd still have to be at a super high level to counter him! Speed and angles wowza
  10. Current short pip forehand players?

    Hmm, so it seems stiga royal, if true, is not an uncommon one used by good players. I wondered if there was a new influx of players since the new ball was put into play -- ones using short pips on the forehand, that is. Anyone know of the newer chinese SP hitters?
  11. Current short pip forehand players?

    Who are the current players using short pips on the forehand? And what rubbers are they using, if known? I know of the highest ranked male player using them Mattias Karlson - razka PO pips And also the female player Wan Yaun, but not sure which pip she is using. The players needn't be top...
  12. October World Rankings 2018

    Not a single chopper in the mens top 30!? *sorry, saw filus there -- one made it! But hes only half a defender... Looks to be 4 or 5 in the womens, more diversity more fun to watch ;)
  13. Women's World Cup

    Now now... she has beaten Wu Yang several times. Ever since the new ball was put into play!
  14. Has a chopper ever won a major title?

    Don't forget the 2016 bronze for Kim Song I on women's
  15. Has a chopper ever won a major title?

    Before the p ball came out, wu yang could have won any tournament without Chinese attackers in it! Viktoria pavlovich won the European champs I believe? Again basically any title without Chinese attackers in it prior to the p ball could have been secured by a female chopper...
  16. How important is serve variation?

    What's important is receiving the kind of returns you want... whether your serve is varied or not! It should be helping setup your game plan. That's the point of a serve, isn't it? Some people rely on tricky serves to win points outright... some like the rally stage and don't much care about...
