Yes @Takkyu_wa_inochi sometimes it is good to measure your match quality in how you perform vs the lower players and upper players. If you defeat ALL lower players 3-0 giving them ZERO chance, and compete strongly, but lose vs upper players, that would be a very strong notable tourney...

Double post hahahah... Everyone practice those nasty hidden serves... you may need to break them out in a match with no umpire where opponent refuses to serve legally.

I can get Aurus to last over 500 hours of play untuned... hahahahahah, someone gunna complain that I do not give enough money to TT equipment makers and somehow call that unfair hahahah.

@MOG if you get 1 hour with me and that setup, you would think much different.

You are a strong candidate for a Primorac Carbon. MANY of the Korean pips players use a fast and stiff blade for their long pips. On loop drives, nearly nothing performs better. On counter shots, tough to beat it too. Still able to do slow opening surprisingly (although it is tougher to do it...

I both praise and cuss @NextLevel preference for choice of blades. There is no singular correct answer in TT and as Dr. Thomas Sowell sez about solutions to a "problem" that there are only trade-offs. (and NL fully understands this concept) NL gets that a lot moar than others. Der_Echte hizz...

Der_Echte gunna hafta run into @Dr Evil in real life sumetime at a big tourney over cheap food and expensive drink.

@NextLevel causing moar trouble than carl or Der_Echte ever did. Book and the prelim discussion is so damned good idea.

@Tyce totally keeping it REAL... WHO is ur daddy he sez. Great epic stuff.

Der_Echte STRONGLY disagrees with Alain's opinion in this matter, but that doesn't by itself make him a troll, it makes him different from me... which I agree is good. @passifid I like a lot of what you post and I am in the same boat (I am often harshly criticizing those who disagree with me)...

hahaha, hahaha, hahahahahaha. Woody Woodpecker sounding off and agreeing with @KM1976 assessment. KM just politely called OP a snowflake. Harden the heck up. Harden the heck up. <AI generated sarcastic voice end>

@MarekD I think I met you at 2025 US Open and have a couple Donic blade ideas for you... Since I forced you to buy a shirt for doubles, let me send you a couple blades from Tabletennis11 to try out. PM or Whatsapp message me.

Glad you have a "Nut" at the club @dingyibvs good advice to go along with coaching and failure is a huge thing.

I would be curious to see what my number is on my slow heavy and fast loops. One day I may politely invite myself if agreeable. I am often these days coaching in San Ramon 5 days a week and able to catch you after coaching for a brief hitup.

What I seem to often articulate to students is that in TT, consistency and placement win... give ENOUGH quality. A lot of things can go into what we want to see for quality, but none of it matters if the shot doesn't land or lands in a crappy place. I have always advocated for what @NextLevel...

I coach at Shashin's Fremont TT Academy (in S.R.)... both yesterday and today, I made it a HUGE focus of attention in students' one hour one on one lessons to explore importance of non-attacking shots... how to push short... push fast and deep... take off spin from a push and get a long light...

Hey @BadHoney The Answer... IT DEPENDS. There is no single correct answer in table tennis, but laws of physics, geometry, and common sense ALWAYS apply. So does your individual discernment. Fortunately, 1600+ level is 10x easier or less difficult to judge for yourself than lower levels. An...

Kim Jung hoon (The Korean ex-pro who I have jisted the most vids) has been with Joola for what seems like 5 years... one of the most popular Korea youtube channels - I Luv Ping Pong is big time Joola... I can tell you it is damned difficult for even KOREAN brands to crack the Korean market in...

HC gunna be a Pickleball Star... Joola makes Pickleball.

Yoo Nam Gyu, the FIRST Olympic Champion in the sport, dropped a vid a month ago that is very detailed and revealing... if you understand Korean... but the auto translate along with the visual should convey the important things.
