I know what you meant. But I think that you need to re-phrase. As it is, your words imply that the blademaker mentioned is in the counterfeit business.

My observation is that your serve is not very spinny thus you are receiving mostly light, floaty spin in return. For the serve, try to really spin heavily and place the ball short to your partner. He will then be able to return the ball faster, with more spin plus be able to place the ball wider...

Forum wisdom says that all seamless balls are manufactured by XSF due to them holding the IPR.

Me too. It was in the discotheque, mid-seventies.

00:54 Never seen that stroke before. You should cut it out and make it a YouTube short.

Tennis, Golf, Motorsports, bobsledding and so on and so forth

I like the ball holders. They should have bought a straw basket to fit instead of the ugly blue plastic tub.

I like how you put a lot of rubber on the loop.

Very nice, easy summary. There's a lot of work involved in creating that list, Well done and thank you.

I really dont understand your reasoning here. From the very first tournament that the 40mm ball was introduced, players reported that the individual rallies were longer as the balls were travelling slower. For me personally, I felt like a much better player as I began returning hits that were...

From my observation, most 'good' tall (>6'2") players play a variation of the Samsonov style, even Franziska plays that way for much of his play. That is, a languid, relaxed allround style. Ready stance = around 2 feet from the table. Strokes, tend to hit ball when it's falling, not afraid to...

On any serve stroke, there are basically two ways to vary the spin for deception: 1. Same contact point on bat, different contact point on the ball 2. Same contact point on ball, different contact point on the bat The stroke action, including follow-through, remains the same.

It's time that the authorities ban posts like like this. It is so well written that it's as if the the OP is applying a pry-bar to my wallet.

Trust me, The strong discussions we now have are way more polite and controlled than the verbal violence of the early noughties

I suspect that most Users take a break every now and then. I have been active on TT forums from the late nineties and every now and then I see comments from the other old boys. However, as Dan alluded to, I think that mobile/cell phones are being used by more and more people for forums content...

Zwill, I think that you are mixing up gliding and sliding. Gliding is when the player is moving so smoothly across the floor that it appears that he is just floating, that is, gliding. Sliding is is like a car drifting around a corner, that is, the tyres (shoes) are always planted to the road.

You'll now be firing on all cylinders 😎

Dan Moses style is not what a coach would teach. But can work sometimes....

Nice. Here's a more 'manly' demonstration of that punchy, snappy/backhand from my favourite online coach of the moment.
