  1. Switching from “learning rubbers”

    Nice, a fellow petrolhead. What you said boils down to: you yourself can maximize a car setup more than you can maximize a racket setup. I'm not sure you can generalize that to the population at large. Force is force, regardless of what produces it. Extending your analogy, there's also a limit...
  2. Switching from “learning rubbers”

    When I see Max Verstappen, the F1maestro, driving a DAF 66 I realze there is no such thing as a slow car.
  3. ITTF Men's and Women's World Cup Macao 2026, 3/30-4/5

    I with you here. In current form Sora is flying but I guess he needs the hardware to solidify the eye test. Either way, we’re just spectators, and can only enjoy the ride. But the lad definitely delivers exciting matches win or lose. He might need some extended recovery though - he was pawing...
  4. ITTF Men's and Women's World Cup Macao 2026, 3/30-4/5

    I think it's fine when he posts the translations but when he adds his own embellishments it distorts the whole message. I didn't find where he said Sora was a product of nepotism (nepo baby perhaps, but it's hard to be a nepo baby in sports, unless you're Bronny), but turning recruiting 188...
  5. Sora vs Mizutani from 2021 before Sora became a MASTER...

    My (least) favorite part of the early days was when my coach would say "you're not understanding this movement, look at how he's doing it" and you look over and it's some kid who can barely see over the table.
  6. Why do pros risk tossing the ball outside the 30 degree window?

    Think about which ball will fly further - a baseball struck floating in space, or a 95 mph fastball?
  7. SZLC Enjoyers

    The ZJK SZLC is the exact same as the FZD SZLC, save for the handles. I played with a no-name inner SZLC for the last 6 months. I found it to be pretty enjoyable, kind of just felt like a slightly faster 968. The only other SZLC blade I have any experience with is the LYJ one. The examples I...
  8. ITTF Men's and Women's World Cup Macao 2026, 3/30-4/5

    Latest research suggest adolescence may run through 32. You're conflating multiple areas of philosophy, science, and legal theory. The military needs bodies, not critical thinkers, at the enlisted level. Tell me, do officers commission after 6 months of basic? (It doesn't seem like you've hung...
  9. Zhang Jike on Blades and How to Try Them...

    Can't ride off into the sunset when you rack up even digit gambling debts. But he's literally telling people there's no need to buy expensive blades because there's not that much R&D that goes into it, including the ones with his name on it. In other streams he also tells people there's no need...
  10. How to improve muscular endurance on backhand drives and topspins?

    Which forearm muscles - i.e. extensors or flexors? What's the time frame? You can have the strongest grip in the world but if it's constantly activated you're going to burn out in 60 seconds. You're only really squeezing the blade when you strike. It's called overgripping and you can resolve it...
  11. 🅲🅰🅽🅳🅸🅳 🅲🅰🅼🅴🆁🅰 to reveal Chinese cheaters

    You all are very generous. 🫣 I've never banged it on the table on purpose, so even if I trust someone else, I still don't trust them.
  12. Sore muscle in the shoulder after training sessions.

    Booo ChatGPT trying to do my job poorly. If I take my physiatrist hat off and put on my gym bro hat for a moment, it's very unlikely your traps are lacking in strength or endurance. In this case targeting your traps could be counterproductive.
  13. What happened?

    I think people reported cuz NDH said if they wanted posts like that to go away they should report it instead of interacting with it.
  14. Sore muscle in the shoulder after training sessions.

    Tendons are what attach muscles to bone. There could be tendonpathy (in my population it's usually supraspinatus) but the physiotherapy approach is the same regardless. You generally don't treat the muscle tendon unit separately aside from interventions. I used to harp on it but at this point I...
  15. Sore muscle in the shoulder after training sessions.

    Title says elbow but post says shoulder, I'm going to assume it's shoulder because elbow doesn't make sense here. Depends on where on the shoulder and what exactly is irritated. Could be any of the scapular elevators (supraspinatus more often than traps), or sometimes internal or external...
  16. Whats the best and worst combos you’ve tried equipmentwise

    From the standpoint of I really didn't expect it, the best blade was a Loki 5ply wood that I only got because I wanted the case that came with it. The case by itself was more expensive. It was also CPen - I do not play CPen. I also bought this set of rubber (cuz I wasn't about to put a nice...
  17. Whats the best and worst combos you’ve tried equipmentwise

    That is fair. I've always taken the stance that if a product is being marketed as "something something [Well Known Model]" you should just get the well known model. Like "something something Viscaria" - alright I'll just look in to a Viscaria then.
  18. Whats the best and worst combos you’ve tried equipmentwise

    You can get one made. They take custom orders from anyone.
  19. Need help selecting a carbon blade for a developing player...

    Does anyone here look at the date of the last post before replying?
  20. Haifu nat black booster

    When it starts to play different. It's not an exact science, nobody can tell you for sure, but people do seem to build consensus around which ones do what. There are a few threads on this you can search for. Someone asked ZJK in a stream what's the point of boosting. He said: This is the guy...
