  1. Which long pips

    It's a sliding scale DISRUPTION ...................... CONTROL -----0-------------------------------------------------------- Any sort of sponge is going to slide it over to the right side, which usually reduces difficulty for the opponent. Do you think you're going to passive block and let...
  2. When you finally beat the player you never beat!!

    Not necessarily. The rule states, so long as it is superficial hatred/rage then it will be permissible.
  3. When you finally beat the player you never beat!!

    Man, you guys are wild... if you think this is some extreme example of poor sportsmanship or athletics! Looks very tame coming from where I play. Hell, even on some edges I get I'll raise a hand to get the opponents attention and then say, "hey... and I'm not sorry, bahaha!" Lighten up...
  4. How do you feel win or lost at 11-0?

    At the us nationals I beat someone 11-0 in a game (3-0 final score) and they pulled me aside afterward, then informed how rude and disrespectful I was for not giving up a point. If it happened like that again, I'd probably try to win TWO games at 11-0 :D I've come close to losing 11-0, but...
  5. Is my fast blade a “crutch”?

    I think it also depends on what kind of shot you're going for. Is your big loop a kind of suicide attack? You win it or lose it on the hefty swing? Problem there is you run into issues like Chen does at the timestamp video here. Then try to see how many are actually winners... if your attempted...
  6. Joola Dynaryz AGR and ACC rubbers Review

    I quite like both of the rubbers. Having used mainly tenergy 64 as of late, swapping to either dynaryz rubber didn't require much of a change at all, if any... Initial testing, t64 was easier for me to generate spin on serves. Though a few tweaks here and there brings out the spin of the...
  7. Wrist pain

    I had the same injury spot on my wrist... How did I fix it? Well, I now use pips on the backhand! Never did heal entirely, and still cannot use the backhand flick/loop movements without it popping again. Physical therapy and all that proved useless for me. Point being: be careful with it or...
  8. Dignics 09C vs Tenergy 05 | With Dimitrij Ovtcharov

    Oh lord, a good video! But I think I found too many Dima moments to be unintentionally funny. From his loud breathing every shot, to the https://youtu.be/RnoNipHJQXo?t=421 timestamp when his voice goes high, and it sounds like he's trying to do an old granny impression
  9. The handle shot!

    How can you prove his intent? I some times do something similar, hitting the ball with the back of my hand for a real wobbler!
  10. Taking On The World's Best Table Tennis Serves!

    Is it strange that Par didn't serve even once to Dan's backhand side? I think the only conclusion to draw there is... he fears Dan's backhand blaster!
  11. my 10 year old nephew wants to start playing modern defensive

    Certainly not everywhere! https://tabletennis-reference.com/player/detail/5221 She's been playing against pros since about age 13 it seems... using long pips the whole time as a chopper.
  12. DAN PLAYS SECOND MATCH! | TableTennisDaily Team | Ep 11

    Pocket also didn't try to slow play the other guy much. Now, I don't know if Moses is good at that type or not.. but neither does the PR! The counters Moses did were generally off of long balls that went too slow or too far off the table. Instead of trying to loop him away at a distance, just...
  13. Using analogies for learning strokes faster - Got any good ones?

    For brushing top spin against heavy backspin, I try to tell people imagine they are using one hand to throw a heavy rock over a tall fence, that they are standing right next to. If you throw it forward, you'll hit the fence and it won't go over. It's heavy enough to where you can't just flip it...
  14. DAN PLAYS REAL MATCH! | TableTennisDaily Team | Ep 8

    Another good episode! Thought Danny was crumbling like a cookie in that last match... but he managed to adjust, relax and outlast the other guy. Looked like his opponent had been relying on Dan to miss more shots, and when the ol' boy began landing them, he took a lead the villain couldn't...
  15. Am I mad? Thinking of changing style to modern defender

    Just know that defending is RARELY as glorious as those top players on youtube make it seem... it can be a very fun style, depending on your opponent. To me it's not like being an attacker, where you try to impose your gameplan on the other player no matter what (attacks!). With defending, you...
  16. MATCH OF THE SEASON! | TableTennisDaily Team | Ep 7

    I bet Dan's regretting not playing in episode one now... :D So much pressure on him now from all these weeks of "playing soon"! that the build up will be crushing!! CRUSHING!! :cool::cool:
  17. Pride & Passion | TableTennisDaily Team | Ep 6

    Oh that's right, the orange guys had a fisher and a chopper. Rewatching it just now he took both of them to the 5th game, but was beaten at 11-4 on one and similar on the other.
  18. Pride & Passion | TableTennisDaily Team | Ep 6

    This is my only YT subscription that I actually click immediately when the notification pops up! To Dan... are there no pips players in those leagues?! I don't recall having seen a chopper or pips blocker in any of the matches yet.

    Don't worry guys... I'll tell you your scores for the low price of $5 per view -- now, who's first!?
  20. Dignics 80 Review | 5 Things You Need To Know

    If you think having objective proof is enough to stop people from buying the next, new shiny object... you don't know marketing! :D But what if the rubber isn't designed to be played on a tree stump? lol... they would just say their rubbers are perfect for... THEIR OWN blades! And while the...
