  1. Footwork..

    that is correct, you need to start that habit even during warmup and it will take some time getting used to. i think the second drill i wrote is the easiest to adapt and gives fastest result when you start that drill with serve and receive based on my own experience.
  2. Tibhar Szocs Signature 1 vs. Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition vs DHS Power G7?

    i would decide purely based on the handle. is it comfortable in your hands and do you have a good grip? you will need to change feeling anyhow by changing from a slow flexible 5ply to a rather fast and stiff 7 ply. try it in a shop or try someone elses bat. personally i like the handle of...
  3. Footwork..

    in this video it looked like no one pushed short, so no need to be glued that close to the table. you can start with your receiving position be one step back and then you have more time and quality in your own ball, too
  4. Footwork..

    thanks for your video! shadowpractice is a really nice way to get a basic understanding of connected movement. if your imagination is big enough you could even do it with closed eyes. then you can get a lot from it. i know some bundesliga players that do that before a match. even without moving...
  5. Footwork..

    hard to say without some footage of you. 1. maybe you are a player that doesn't move much in general and you never notice, because you mostly train regular drills or 2. you are a player that moves a lot even in practice but doesn't have the confidence in your strokes yet, so you watch the ball...
  6. Best glue for easy removal from rubber

    did any of you tried these new natural rubber glues that tibhar, andro and donic recently released? they all share the same bottle with a black and transparent cap and all called 'pro ... glue'. i heard they are really thick like DHS but without ammonia and give a totally different feeling of...
  7. China Smash 2024, Beijing, 9/26-10/6

    did anybody know why they had a third timeout in the last set between yidi and siqi?
  8. Hard and Crisp(all wood)

    for me what creates the feel of 'crisp' is an hard outer with an softer inner + core. that is the reason the most famous crisp blade is Butterfly Viscaria, because it has an hard outer (Koto + ArylateCarbon) + soft inner (Ayous) and a even softer core (Kiri). so you just need to find a blade...
  9. Hard and Crisp(all wood)

    Try: DHS Wang Hao DHS Hurricane King 1-3 Butterfly Hadraw Butterfly Falcima Stiga Nostalgic ALL or OFF Stiga Rosewood Xiom Fuga for your request of Tibhar: i think they don't have any crisp blade in their range of offensive blades (the blades mentioned before are not crisp), but even the...
  10. Advice for my terrible receive

    just let the ball bounce. you are too rushed with receiving and your standing position is too close to the table plus too much in the middle. he basically never played on single short ball, so no need to stand to close and you should always adapt your standing position based on the serves you...
  11. Tibhar Hybrid K3 FX

    no it's not, is has an pink sponge like hybrid mk fx and is way more softer then k3. i believe fx is 48°, normal 53° and pro 55°. so maybe you can see the sponge colour from the side, as you sometimes can see with other rubbers. if i remember well, the pro version also had the same package...
  12. Good Forehand Rubbers instead of Tenergy 05?

    another vote on vega pro and nittaku g-1. both easier to play tenergys with a bit less bounce and more direct so better for smashes. but they are also a bit slower. a more modern and dynamic choice for the plasticball could be vega x or victas ventus extra. coming from rozena, i would say you...
  13. Has anyone tried regular Innerforce ALC with H3?

    i can't compare directly what you asked, but my teammate is playing the harimoto alc blade and it is faster then the Hugo HAL blade that i play myself. it feels totally different too. it vibrates more and (the harimoto blade is 90g, while my Hugo HAL is 83g) and therefore sometimes feels a bit...
  14. Which one you choose ? Special Blade

    i would choose bernadette szocs blade for their good balance of power and feeling. basically the same as tibhar samsonov black but with a better handle. i don't mind the player but the blade is really nice, perfect for offensive hobby players :P as close second i would choose the paul drinkhal...
  15. Pre- serve self cheering

    yes chole doesn't mean anything like you said, but i find it rather cool that we have something so specific for tabletennis :)
  16. Pre- serve self cheering

    french player are also doing this, like felix and alexis lebrun, pavade and simon gauzy occasionally too. they also say 'alle' before the serve and receive, same meaning like dan from TTD saying 'come on'. so it is part of the game and people doing it to get ready and get focused. but many find...
  17. Donic Bluestar A2 Test

    danke dir! sounds really promising i will buy that first before i try bluegrip c2.
  18. Difference in Loki Pro Rubbers

    maybe i try arthur china too on my spare blade. rxton 9 is a really damn good rubber and will explore it after the season! the best thing for me next to the grip was the translation of power. it handle every powerful stroke of mine with ease, no problems with control! the opposite of vega pro H...
  19. Donic Bluestar A2 Test

    sounds good! can you compare it with hybrid mk, because i tried that rubber. it had not enough spin for me and people told me the durability should be really bad. vega pro H was normal with 3-4 months same as vega x.
  20. Why Table Tennis is such a pure, unique 1-of-1 sport

    my coach always says: "you need to play tabletennis like chess and everything will be fine" :D
