  1. China national championships

    Why was Wu Yang, female short pip chopper, removed so early then! How is it the male chopper is suddenly winning... when it's usually said chopping is more friendly in the female game!
  2. US Nationals 2019

    Looking back at their records, yue wu beat Rachel on 3/1/19 or roughly 4 months ago. But you know how those juniors are... you kick their butt once and a few mo ths later they come back 1000 points higher! Haha
  3. US Nationals 2019

    That pretty much sums it up. She was not confident attacking the chops... tried to play pushing rallies against a chopper and paid the price! Also, Rachel seemed to sense that wu didnt want to attack so even her chops were not varied much. They were just consistent and low, but with good spin...
  4. Par Gerell Serving Masterclass

    No, I think Par was the one who karate chopped the table in half! Not really... I haven't seen him do anything unsportsmanlike in the videos of his matches
  5. Par Gerell Serving Masterclass

    It's only for the gerell serve, his punch/shovel type action. But using different spins with it, and how to be deceptive with the same motion.
  6. Par Gerell Serving Masterclass

    I've been a fan of Par's serve for a number of years now, and have been trying to do a similar one myself. That being the case, I went ahead and bought this masterclass with all the excitement of a little kid on the night before christmas! Suffice it to say... my assumptions about the serve...
  7. Flexible blade hard rubbers, even for looper?

    Table tennis is designed to make you spend as much money as possible in the shortest amount of time ;) You have to personally test out each rubber combination, and then guess what... you get a new blade! Now you have re-test everything hehehe Or you can just toss something on the first blade...
  8. Serve & placement to minimize opponent options

    It comes from learning the game, understanding the percentages and likely play patterns. So it can be practiced, though it requires mental analysis and not so much physical. Once you have those ingrained, then you can try to dictate the play based on your hits. For example, if I hit a quick...
  9. Is it worth serving short ? - for amateurs

    The fast no spins are difficult to control, but can be handled. The return will be dead, though you can angle the ball to bad spots or change the speed etc. Also it depends if you are a blocker or chopper. Blockers perhaps dont have as much wiggle room if they send the ball back a bit too...
  10. Is it worth serving short ? - for amateurs

    I like to serve fast and long. But I do it mainly with side/back spin serves. I'm also talking quite fast! So most people mistake it as a top spin serve and go to hit over the top of it, when that baby drops into the net. I mix in some top spin ones as well, though the majority are corkscrew and...
  11. Why do some defenders chop on the forehand and some don't.

    Because it's easier to chop heavy loops with long pips. If your goal is to send back under spin, then the long pips help in converting top spin to under spin. With inverted rubber, you have to overcome the top spin and then add your back spin. Not easy to do against pro level loops! So long...
  12. Why do some defenders chop on the forehand and some don't.

    I think the FH chop is quite easy to do with inverted. You get a larger swing and more control over the ball. That is why pips are used on the backhand side, because you have a harder time controlling heavy speed/spin coming to your BH. It comes down to preference and training, I believe...
  13. Elbow Pain

    Yeah I used to use ice, but eventually went the route of stopping entirely. I changed styles so I could play without aggravating anything. And even doing that, over a year later with zero pain or symptoms, they all return almost immediately after going back to the old ways
  14. Elbow Pain

    Tendinitis, like herniated discs and such, is a very individual thing. What works for one won't work for others. What worked for 100 may not work for you... it's fairly easy to tell what is causing your issues, if you are not blind to the truth (or stubborn...)! The real question is, can you...
  15. I want to be Harimoto, no wait, I want to be Koki Niwa

    Wait a minute... when was koki using an amultart?
  16. Alternative to smelly Chinese rubbers

    butterfly spin art, victas 401, yasaki rising dragon, joola golden tango those are the similar hybrid types maybe try nittaku hurricane 3 turbo
  17. Rule Approved! New colour rubbers as of 2020!

    Sounds good to me! I can already hear adam bobrow frothing at the mouth deciding on his multi color setup lol
  18. Which mistakes should a beginner avoid when playing table tennis?

    #11 over-hitting the ball... EVERY HIT!
  19. CNT's WTTC Warm-Up Matches

    I think Fan has spent so much of his youth in the training camps, he probably gets a bit sweaty palmed around girls still ;)
  20. World's Best Table Tennis Robot vs TableTennisDaily's Dan!

    Frictionless anti spin on this robot... wouldn't even need to loop or smash, and it would beat the best in the world much faster! Having said that, I think they envision it more as a training partner rather than a pro player to watch... but for publicity stunt, it could certainly be done much...
