    Lookout TTD !!! Carl just blew the secret dog whistle !!!
  2. How to play against flat hitter?

    Get a super FZD with D05 on each side, then call it a day. Everyone on the internet reports being world dominant with this setup.
  3. How to beat someone when I’m not playing my best?

    @NextLevel wanted to add that one may give no-spin pushes in ur face and become HTSB (TM phrase by NL).
  4. What is the most important area to jump from 1900 to 2100?

    The area his is in has gazillions of legit 2000 usatt level players sporting 1500 ratings. It is a competitive sport down there to see how under-rated you can be and turn it on occasionally to shock the monkey.
  5. What is the most important area to jump from 1900 to 2100?

    Victor is 2200 USATT level like for appetizer starters, but he makes his rating look like an organ donor fire sale at times so he can skull fux hiz opponents at big tourneys. A LOT of LA and So-Cal and Bay Area rolls that way..
  6. What is the most important area to jump from 1900 to 2100?

    Ahahahahahahah. This is EXACTLY what I do when a much better player offers to do anything for 5-10 minutes if he or she has available. I am the crazy one who does not ask to do macho man stuff, but to practice serve return. Always a surprise to a better player, they expect some power hit...
  7. What is the most important area to jump from 1900 to 2100?

    We can go on and on and on about what constitutes quality for every basic shot - serve, receive, push, loop, rally ball, etc... but having sound fundamentals, a good read of opponent's ball, and variation, placement, consistency all contribute to higher level at all levels. I appreciate the...
  8. What is the most important area to jump from 1900 to 2100?

    Ahahahahahaha but so very observant true. There are very good reasons why such coaches should and many do insist on at the table drills for strokes, footwork, and combinations. Such coaches rarely link what they are doing and why as to how you can see the ball better and how these practices...
  9. What is the most important area to jump from 1900 to 2100?

    After several years of the later gen ABS balls, many players have discovered just how damn easy it is to hit through topspin and underspin... so many players are doing pretty much what PC is explaining... players and previously unheard of levels (who are receiving competent training) now flip...
  10. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Tyce, what would ultimately be helpful is step in timing.
  11. New chopper, need help selecting a long pip rubber :)

    @Scarfed Garchomp is barking up the correct tree here. Cheep. get .5 or .6 sponge LP... ANY of them, get... just get one and try it out. Let ball drop to table height or a few cm below, you will be lower and more consistent with chops. (or at least easir to land with some semblance of quality.
  12. Clubs in S.Korea

    Lee Jae Chul moved his club maybe 1/2 km or so up the street some years ago. Heard this some years back from someone I sent there. ( I played in the gym in this pic several times.) Someone runs this as an almost rec center TT outfit. I see the mapottc FB page... he got his name all over it and...
  13. Blade & Rubber suggestion/recommendation - starting over

    I recommend ANY of them. Play well with old or new, light or heavy, solid, v1 or v2 senso handles. I prefer 90+ grams, but I also play fine with low 80s ST handle ones. The wood on the handle piece is very grippy and easy to whip the bat even if hands are wet with sweat. The V2 is marketed mas...
  14. Identification of the sponge is due and overdue.

    The very same snakes who would say No NO NO NO !!!! to the legal and moral attributes of a custom sponge/rubber... these same snakes do NOT speak out against the hundreds of threads on these forums detailing the top-secret methods to boost/tune H3... Boosting/tuning is clearly against the ITTF...
  15. Identification of the sponge is due and overdue.

    How this would apply to me, an amateur player in USA, even in sanctioned tourneys there is no racket control in any events I qualify and play in... even in US Open. If you are good enough to be elite, then there is a measure of racket control in the higher events like the open division in the...
  16. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Your BH will experience waves of doing well and doing poorly and is grows. Stay with it. You awareness of reaching too much will serve you well, find your good optimal strike zone for yourself and strive to adjust position and leverage to keep ball coming to strike zone where you set leverage...
  17. Blade & Rubber suggestion/recommendation - starting over

    The weight distro on the 40 plus PPP blades I have bought and tried are more than good... do not worry over absolute weight, PPP will do you well... and so can another few hundred of other setups.
  18. Blade & Rubber suggestion/recommendation - starting over

    I got TWO Donic PPP blades from tabletennis11 that were 95 and 96 grams and an ABOSULTE GEM each one. Weight distribution matters more and a heavier blade blocks way better. I built a bat for a UC Davis club player for $70ish USD, new PPP blade Fl handle, new Aurus 48 FH, used (but only a few...
  19. How to receive side top spin serve?

    Also Sleepy, I am lucky to be friends with the best Ukrainian TT player in our region, the one and only Sergey the Real Tsos who is also USA's clear leading expert on the procurement, tuning, and use of H3. He can spin the ball with the sandpaper-like K1 rubber he has. I am happy you have had...
  20. Need tips on how to improve my feeling/control

    Then there is the argument of the TT learning with guidance from effective communicator coach or friend... and the many thousands of hours of effective practice. many never get here, so I hope you make it.
