  1. Chondromalacia Patella (Knee Pain) – Experience from TT players

    I'm a music teacher and I'm able to play bass and guitar again thanks to the TENS, not upright bass still... but the bass was a problem as I couldn't extend my elbow enough to get to the very first frets near the nut, or even couldn't turn the tuning keys above. Longer scale instruments is a...
  2. Chondromalacia Patella (Knee Pain) – Experience from TT players

    It's a medical problem you get at 11/12, when the growing process starts, puberty and its issues. Alexis Lebrun couldn't make a full season before he was 16, he's been dealing with back and knee problems all his puberty, genetics... you can't fight against that with simple things like "hey...
  3. Looking For Feedback On 3rd Ball Attack

    Perfect example of what I said: slower racket = better percentage and better placement, consistency all the way ! Good job dude ;)
  4. Looking For Feedback On 3rd Ball Attack

    Change your racket please... you don't have enough control to get consistency, what I've seen is you get a 3rd ball done the right way only 5 times over the first 10 attempts, I mean here it lands on the oppponent's side only 50% of the time, the rest being down the net or way too long. I've...
  5. Clamant turmoil within ITTF.

    You're joking right ? So you think that because of money only this shit country deserves to lead any sport international federation ? Oh I see... poor lil' qataris, they didn't understand there had to be online voters. What you see here guys, it is what you see with Iran, the Brotherhood...
  6. How does Timoboll spirit compare with Timoboll ALC & Viscaria

    Look, they are all the same, period. So grab the one you want, it won't make any difference. Oh, and you forgot the Zhang Zike ALC, the Fan Zhendong ALC, guess what ? they are exactly the same as the 3 blades you mentioned ! :eek: :ROFLMAO:
  7. Major League Table Tennis (MLTT)

    He's not a mercenary, he's got much more respect for the game that doing that move. And also, he does not need that money this artificial league gives to old players or soon to be retired one unable to fund their WTT season on their own. Where are the fans by the way ? where's the passion ? the...
  8. WTT India? Best of luck to WTT...

    And this is how you get mercenaries playing for big cash only and for 2 weeks only. For teams no one care for. Do you know the other country that did that 80 years ago ? the USA with the NBA. The results of that ? no real passion for franchises anymore, because it's driven by greed, always. The...
  9. German League 2024-2025 Bundesliga Match between Fulda and Ochenhausen TTBL

    The Bundesliga has too much restrictive laws, that one specially about not being allowed to play for 2 different leagues organised by ITTF associations. That one France has decided to withdraw, because of the Jura-Morez drama and the ever growing number of french pros playing outside of France...
  10. German League 2024-2025 Bundesliga Match between Fulda and Ochenhausen TTBL

    That makes 2 months germans and french TT players know Simon Gauzy is back in France. And he won't train in the Liebherr academy that much or only with France's squad for WTTC, WTTTC, Olympics, etc. He still trains there for now because of his wife and son still living in Ochsenhausen, but as...
  11. Clamant turmoil within ITTF.

    The major problem with Qatar is geopolitics: no countries want to offend Qatar cos' this country deals with ANY terrorist group on the planet. That's why Qatar got some Rafale fighter jets, got all the major international events, and now wants to lead some sport international federation...
  12. Barcelona TT Action Request

    Dude... just google "tenis de mesa clubs barcelona" and you get this: https://www.google.com/search?q=tenis+de+mesa+clubs+barcelona&sca_esv=35b79497141ac1f1&udm=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjyj5CviPmNAxV6LPsDHbRMOvYQjGp6BAgfEAE&biw=1920&bih=965
  13. Chondromalacia Patella (Knee Pain) – Experience from TT players

    Oh I forgot something really interesting I'm currently using because of a shoulder capsulitis ! the TENS system: Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. That might be really usefull before and after pratice time. It helped me recovering faster from that shoulder capsulitis and I've stopped...
  14. The nations that do well and those that underperform (mens only)

    Algeria does support A LOT those athletes. Remember: Stéphane Ouaiche is twice a french nationals champion, and until the call from the algerian government last year for the African Games, he never entered any international competition since the WTT exists: the costs were too high we all know...
  15. The nations that do well and those that underperform (mens only)

    Not really: JiaNan Yuan being asked to play for France and accepting it after a long time is an example, the pre-requisite was to enter the WTT circuit. Stéphane Ouaiche will enter the WTT tournaments at 30 ! because he's got an alegrian passport too so he'll play under the Algeria flag, and he...
  16. The nations that do well and those that underperform (mens only)

    My take about this is basically the financial investments nations put in sports in general, and table tennis here: we all know more money invested + more athletes development = better results. Having a strong TT culture (meaning here their history in competitions) should also help Now there...
  17. Chondromalacia Patella (Knee Pain) – Experience from TT players

    There are also those famous suplementations meds made from collagen, but I'm highly skeptical about those. Conclusions Strong evidence of 5–15 g/day dose of COL in improving joint pain and functionality. However, further research is required to understand the exact adaptive mechanisms. Changes...
  18. Chondromalacia Patella (Knee Pain) – Experience from TT players

    Alexis Lebrun uses the strong version of the Orliman's infrapatellar compression pad, the Patel'R. I've used it for a while before loosing enough weight to get rid of it. there's also the light "sport" version, orange color, Orliman spanyard brand still. I think you can find those in Germany...
  19. First custom paddle from Aliexpress - need help with rubbers and blade

    I'd say DHS Hurricane 8-80 on forehand black 37°+ an Long Pips OX on the backhand it's less than 15 bucks overall on Aliexpress, maybe a frictionless anti top like Luka Mladenovic for the same strategy, and for blade something ALL+/OFF- all wood. EDIT: ok for the Sanwei Fextra 5, but I've...
