  1. Viewership numbers

    lol dude its not like i tell pickleballers this to their face, but you and and me both know that is 100% easier for a great ping pong player to go and become a great pickleball player than it is for a pickleball player to come and become a great ping pong player. even your friends who were 2000+...
  2. Viewership numbers

    People love pickleball because they're not good enough to play pingpong. its the fastest growing sport here in the USA apparently, but its so boring to watch for me. Fun to play, but i dont play often because i dont want to mess up my ping pong stroke. Its also generally way more accessible...
  3. New skill unlocked: Counter-attacking opponent's loop

    awesome but you forgot to look your opponent directly in their eye and yell "CHOOOOO-LEEEEEEEE" in slow motion.
  4. Butterfly Zyre 03

    dont wanna derail the thread because i dont know if this is true for the new butterfly rubber, but with hurricane, a thicker sponge, even just .05 is significantly harder to hit through and engage the sponge. i much prefer the thinner sponge over the thicker, even if the thicker sponge has a...
  5. Butterfly Zyre 03

    this hurts my shoulder just thinking about it. i was surprised by how much of a difference i felt on my 2.15 h3n compared to the 2.10 h3n (same hardness)
  6. What to do when opponent keeps blocking to Backhand

    can any of us backhand drive like Kreanga? lol. My backhand is hardly a weapon but i've been able to start winning a lot more points with my backhand simply be being able to effectively target my shots. If its a backhand to backhand rally, dont aim for your opponents "impact zone" on their...
  7. PONGBOT OMNI S PRO Robot Review

    thats really frustrating figmatcha. How often were you using your robot? would you say your playing area is kept free of dirt and debris? not sure if these things would even effect anything but i'm just trying to get an understanding. especially since my robot is still working fine after 10...
  8. Overlooked match skills that hold you back

    oh good point. This is definitely overlooked. i beat a guy 150 points higher than me because he couldn't really defend his middle. kind of surprising that he was rated almost 2000. BUT, i also believe the best defense is good footwork, so might be kinda covered by #3 if you consider the...
  9. Another DHS Hurricane 8-80 38D Backhand Review

    Thanks man! I am using h3n 38 on backhand after switching from d09c. it was a little transition but so far i like it. hey btw, have you bought recently from aliexpress? did you have to pay any extra tariffs for your delivery? or was the price you paid on aliexpress the final price?
  10. Another DHS Hurricane 8-80 38D Backhand Review

    have you ever tried h3n on your backhand? how would you compare the two, if you have? i'm interested in this rubber..... also do you have a link to the prov version from a reputable store on aliexpress?
  11. Overlooked match skills that hold you back

    What do you consider the fundamentals of table tennis? I'm just a HOBBY player, but these are mine: 1) all the the "stroke" techniques, forehand and backhand: loop, block, counter and push 2) stroke technique transitions (IE, being able to receive a short underspin ball to your forehand...
  12. Focus on the ball instead of my movement?

    Kind of different because you used to be a high level but you “grew” out of it :p
  13. Focus on the ball instead of my movement?

    interesting. There is a HUGE skill level between a 1400 player and a 2000+ rated player. I'm 1850 now and I can toy around 1400 level players quite easily. A strong loop and counter is a great though. And come to think of it, i have a friend whos rated 1300 who can take cames off 2000 players...
  14. Focus on the ball instead of my movement?

    how long have you been playing for? For us HOBBY players, consistency is the main thing we all need to work on. I also don't have as much time as i would like to practice more, so you have to make the most of each of your practice sessions. I like to spend approx 60% of my time working on my...
  15. Focus on the ball instead of my movement?

    Each stroke is a multitude of "lightning fast" decisions, but I try to keep those decisions as "simple" as possible when executing: 1) Always watch the ball 2) Always try to maintain proper footwork 3) what technique do i need to do here? (IE, push, loop, block ect. ect) 4) When aiming, i...
  16. Table tennis Tactics for Thinkers!

    funnily enough, thats still the game for me at 1800 lol but theres some tactics and strategy involved now :D
  17. Table tennis Tactics for Thinkers!

    Hey OP- I just want to add, that since you're only rated around 1100 USATT, you're still developing your playing style. I wouldn't worry too much about being able to "describe" your "game" yet. Keep working on your basic techniques and consistency. As you advance your level, you might find your...
