  1. Shoes to wear in concrete playing area

    Yes, You buy the shoes that come with a fully funded dual knee replacement after 3 years if you are not already in a wheelchair.
  2. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    There is no single correct answer in TT, but laws of physics, age, and body certainly do apply. You might show me something, don't discount it.
  3. Why are rubbers getting harder with ABS balls?

    As much as Darker90 is for speed drive monsters, it has enough feel to do slow heavy topspins.
  4. Why are rubbers getting harder with ABS balls?

    Gozo... it is simply because you have not yet figured out how to let ball drop some moar and loosen body/hand and make a real slow and heavy spin loop... This type hates this kind of ball worse than Dracula hates sunlight and garlic.
  5. Why are rubbers getting harder with ABS balls?

    Genau... but @Jslick89 it is MOAR than just pure bat speed... it is also a FIRMING of GRIP right AT IMPACT... more correctly articulated firming right when ball gets into wood... It also takes a certain impact to penetrate a harder sponged rubber to get into sponge then blade for the bang...

    @dingyibvs maybe you show me at Pleasonton next week, I am back at San Ramon Freemont TTA 1-3 times a week coaching.
  7. If they do the loop drive or punching or smashing correctly, the ball very quickly comes to me and hits my body—how do I return those shots?

    OP, after you hit that relatively weak shot your opponent hit hard, fast, low and deep... you need to figure out where they are hitting the ball and figure out how to get body low with bottom of bat at table height... loose grip unless you can really see the ball well. Maybe you can figure out a...
  8. Hugo Calderano denied entry into the USA! Will miss the USA Smash 2025

    On one level, I would say no way to your suggestion and put the onus on the players... but your are RIGHT @Dr Evil , if one wants a top rate international field, the one organizing it should go an extra mile to ensure it happens as planned by directing an underling some task to help or oversee.
  9. WHO let the DOGS Out ? to the 2025 US Nationals...

    Many of this group advanced past group in multiple events, something you can only do if you perform 2+ levels above your play level. One medaled above his level fighting brave, all fight brave and over achieved.
  10. WHO let the DOGS Out ? to the 2025 US Nationals...

    Recognize anyone? The finalist of the U1900 adults from Tacoma TTC, a lurker recognized me and we had a few minutes chat on how to play vs LP players. He ended up winning the next match vs that LP player who defeated the student of the West Bay club I coach at part time. (Freemont TT Academy)...
  11. Nexy Etika review

    @neon, You will be impressed by how easier you can handle incoming topspin with Etika... but it will not spin a slow, low energy ball like Tenergy or Diginiski or H3.
  12. Hugo Calderano denied entry into the USA! Will miss the USA Smash 2025

    zeio, You were really high on my respect list already, but by saying Hugo KNEW... WHEN the SMASH was gunna be... but DID NOT PREPARE (like other athletes) his visa... you gained more respect by telling it like it is. Hugo is acting the irresponsible one here by flying in without coordination...
  13. WHO let the DOGS Out ? to the 2025 US Nationals...

    Another mostly Indian training club.
  14. Weight limits on rackets?

    Make everyone play with a bat inverted FH and LP BH. That would be a lot of fun. Not gunna happen though.
  15. Can anyone talk me either into buying this or leave it alone

    If you like doing a crushing loop drive where you smack the dog piss outta the thing, you will LIKE it.
  16. WHO let the DOGS Out ? to the 2025 US Nationals...

    WHO from TTD is gunna be at the US Nationals? (as a player or coach) I normally do not play this tourney (and am not playing in this one either)... but I will be there coaching and getting players to make sum noise. The club I will be working with is comprise almost entirely of US born 2nd gen...
  17. Video Footage Safe Thread

    For that medium speed loop that has better arc that doppelmoral is looking to do better... (High arc means ball speed is not fast to allow that nice higher arc and to allow it to fall) (If you hit hard/fast with high arc, the ball will go out) Assuming good position/stance/leverage... Allow...
  18. What's wrong with my loop?

    I think as you see @Colestt post moar, you will see how solid he is.
  19. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Personally, for FH, I do not worry about using a LOT of waist or shoulders... I simply point my right toe to the right, get waist down, then as I strike, I am pushing off with right foot/leg and come up, use a short hip, and power into the ball... it is all that is needed at the table and up to...

    grüß Gott @doppelmoral !!! You should include a dozen + moar TTD members in the same class as you highly regard. Having said that... in your vid, you are not going for much... and that is a credit to you and your trainer. I see you are tall with a nice wide stance... that is almost standard...
