  1. Playing in cold halls

    I always suffer from cold playing halls. My hands in particular get very cold straight away, with all the consequences that entails. We always carry hand warmers in our sports bags, like the ones below. https://www.decathlon.com.gr/en/p/161196-337648-hand-warmer-x10.html Between matches, we...
  2. Europe Top-16 Cup 2026 (5–8 February 2026)

    That was easy to predict. Bernadette can't play against equipment, that's been clear for a long time. But what I find most troubling is her relationship with her coach. It doesn't seem 100% to me. Did you see how she snatched her water bottle from her coach's hand and snapped at him during her...
  3. Europe Top-16 Cup 2026 (5–8 February 2026)

    Um, Bernadette? She has at least three different serves from various positions to the FH/BH or in the middle of her opponent. All things I missed with Charlotte. Every serve is identical, half/long to the middle of Bernadette from the same position. Only two of her last four services were...
  4. Europe Top-16 Cup 2026 (5–8 February 2026)

    And too quickly, because Simon was clearly not ready yet.
  5. Europe Top-16 Cup 2026 (5–8 February 2026)

    Simon was robbed.
  6. Europe Top-16 Cup 2026 (5–8 February 2026)

    Yes, they have strange concepts of angles and/or degrees. Nothing new under the sun with the brothers.
  7. Europe Top-16 Cup 2026 (5–8 February 2026)

    Just watching the Bernadette vs. Charlotte match. Does/can the French player only serve one type of serve? Tactical serve 0.0. Still, something her coach and she herself should urgently work on.
  8. [DIY] The "Stradivarius": A 1300Hz Cybershape made with True Violin Woods (Maple/Spruce) & Hide Glue

    No problem, I had already forgotten my question.:) Yes, there are quite a few possibilities, of course, but I think that a press with a meter is not an unnecessary attribute for optimizing the pressing of wood/carbon, etc., and adapting it to the needs of the wood.
  9. 2026 Emperor's/Empress's Cup (aka All Japan) Jan 20-25, Doubles Jan 29-Feb 1

    Can I still watch that final match somewhere? I can't find it on YouTube.
  10. Reading Spin + Tactics

    You serve and immediately retreat. Why do you do that? Force yourself to stay closer to the table and play aggressively. You are still young, so you need to use more speed and agility to put pressure on your opponent.
  11. I just created a Youtube channel on my journey to pro!

    Are there no (regional) competitions or tournaments?
  12. Marty Supreme table tennis film

    Another interesting fact about the real Marty Reisman: in 1957, he played alongside six-time Belgian champion Norbert Van de Walle, an excellent defender, in the American national team! Marty himself once played an exhibition match in Antwerp.
  13. [DIY] The "Stradivarius": A 1300Hz Cybershape made with True Violin Woods (Maple/Spruce) & Hide Glue

    What I always wonder is whether you always apply the same pressure when gluing, or whether this depends on the type of glue you use and/or the composition of the racket, wood/composite.
  14. If you are the CNT boss, what would you do?

    Wang Hao? At the end of 2022, I thought.
  15. If you are the CNT boss, what would you do?

    The Chinese Table Tennis Association (CTTA) on Monday announced its national team coaching lineup for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic cycle, appointing Qin Zhijian as chief coach. Qin, a current CTTA vice president, previously served as head coach of China's men's team during the 2020 Tokyo...
  16. Positioning on 3rd ball/reaction - how to?

    I hope you are also doing exercises that get you moving? Okay, the third ball is important in a match, but I don't think you're ready for that yet after just a few months. A really fun exercise to do now to improve your ball control, get you moving and improve your reaction time is the M/W...
