Tbh FZD was just kinda fooling around in league(+randomness heavy 5 game matches), but here he is dead serious and motivated, and the results speak for itself.

No contest even in the final. FZD shows why he is a grand slam winner - the final boss

FZD is WCQ's kryptonite - he seldom lost to WCQ even before he took a break from WTT. WCQ's problem is that he relies way too much on serve/receive/3rd ball. But FZD can defend the 3rd ball due to his inhuman reflexes and then forcefully transition the play into a topspin rally where even now he...

Just saw this on my feed - this is almost exactly what I was talking about this LP/inverted Cpen amateur style being really strong, and this kid seems to have adopted it all at the pro level lol

Dont worry about height in table tennis! In fact, not having to bend knees is a huge plus lol, i am sure there are many tall ppl in this forum who hate bending knees. This is Koki Niwa: You can check his form out, i think it is a pretty good reference. TT form can be very different depending...

One thing that you might want to experiment with is where your right foot is pointing. Right now they are pointing mostly forward, so that limits your hip rotation magnitude - if they are pointing towards the right side (say 2 or 3 oclock) and then rotate them back, you get better hip rotation...

You cant bend down too much because youre not tall enough yet. If you watch Koki Niwa he also doesnt bend down that much, but he is clearly a lot stronger and better coordinated. The problem now is that your coordination between the lower body and upper body is not really there yet. You must...

Anyone tried Zyre03 on BH and on a Viscaria like blade? Im probably about to retire my trusty D05 and if this is an upgrade i would like to try it out lol

Lol Sabine gets into the final! finally the pros will get a taste of what amateurs have to deal with all the time...

Im toying with the idea of using a rear crossover back (right leg going past left leg) to get back to the middle after the crossover to a very wide FH. This seems to help cheat a bit by increasing the distance travelled while keeping the no of steps the same.

Regardless of cross step or normal footwork without crossing the legs you end with your weight solidly on the left foot after the FH loop. Then, you immediately push with your right foot to power your chasse step back to the middle so you dont get stuck in the FH corner, and then you can do...

Yep this is the basics of structural engineering - this is also how reinforced concrete works - the steel rebars are at the ends to resist the tension side because concrete is only strong in compression. Bending results in tension on one side and compression on the other. The further away from...

Damn, sounds like maybe I should stick with D05 on my BH....

You generate spin in the ball by how fast you rotate the bat. The faster you rotate it the more spin you get. So the more mechanisms/muscles that you engage to rotate it the better. Choking the grip makes your fingers less relaxed before the contact so it reduces the capacity of the fingers to...

You got the right idea of using your fingers as lever arms to power the BH. However you can use this concept without choking the grip which is usually not a good idea. Even on FH you can benefit from this concept of using the fingers. So my way for BH is: thumb pressing slightly on the right...

Played yesterday again as I wanted to apply some new things into my game. So i tested out trying to loopkill 3rd ball pushes with BH and it was a collosal failure in terms of success rates. I still like the supination focused slow opening loop with a lot of spin (or not depending on my...

I thought lunging on the right leg is basically the correct way to move to the FH to prepare for the FH loop in table tennis too. I use it all the time. Even cutting off large angle counters on the BH side i will lunge with the left leg. Yeah i also learnt to use the thumb on the diagonal...

Maybe Zyre is the Schroedinger's rubber. It is both the perfect and the worst, all at the same time. An application of quantum mechanics in rubber production.

Yes I agree, a lot of the table tennis concepts apply very well to the net shots in badminton. I think the lifts are basically just TT topspin stroke, the drop is a TT chop, and the net play is just a short push lol. Funny thing is that the shuttlecock is also spinning just like TT when you...

Like what you said it is about technique - I can short push sidetopspin balls with D05 and Viscaria in practice situations, but in match situations it will still be a liability because at least at equal level you wont have a 100% read of the incoming spin. If i had a 100% read then the other...
