  1. Is it worth to switch to defence style?

    Does where you usually play have enough space behind the tables? If it doesn't, will be very frustrating trying top play defense with back up to wall.
  2. Does Lin Yun Ju still have potential to be world no.1?

    No. There are stronger players who are also younger. I suppose the better men could all get injured at the same time. Or they might change the system again. After all, if Dima could be WR1 for a month ...
  3. What blade would you recommend for someone stepping down from carbon?

    Kind of OT on my part, but must second this. I'm using g revision carbon, love the handle and head shape. No difference in play whatsoever, waaay more comfy in hand.

  5. Which is better value for money Tenergy 05 or Dignics 05?

    Hmmm, it almost sounds like your equipment doesn't even matter.
  6. How to play Penhold looper with long pips bh?

    This describes 80% of my opponents. There are two strategies, really no different than vs penhold without LP. 1) pound the backhand as suggested earlier. People put pips on weaknesses. You should generally go at the pips. Also, penhold, so backhand. 2) Play angles. If you want to play to...
  7. Yay! I am a looper now, so what next?

    All the 'more spin' answers are not wrong, but they are wrong. Here are reasons ... To make heavy enough spin with the new ball that can't be smashed on table will take you much training. Even crappy players can adapt to heavy spin if they see it from you enough. Also, pimples. I am going...
  8. My equipment: Am I an EJ?

    Yes. This is like the very definition of EJ "Other blades I bought for fun and set up because they were cheap and I just wanted to try:"
  9. which coach is right

    How high is the ball? Is it half-long falling at the edge of the table? Let the ball tell you what is the right thing to do.
  10. First setup for basement player

    Another EJ is born. The Sweden Extra with 2 x rakza 7 was a perfectly good choice. You can get slower and less sensitive to spin, and you can get more and more of that. You landed near the middle, but leaning towards relatively less speed more spin. [compared to the universe of popular...
  11. Post your latest EJ purchase

    I am doing some rubber ej. Have become enamored of Koharu Itagaki's play style and found a used sheet of Bty Impartial XB to test on backhand. At the same time ordered a sheet of my usual Moristo in 1.4 instead of 1.8. Figured the thinner sponge might accomplish the same consistency increase...
  12. Why are these two choppers so successful?

    Has T league contributed to the depth of strong Japanese women's play outside the top JNT?
  13. Bh rubber for advanced intermediate

    Who says T19 is the best bh rubber? Just curious. I think I have seen one sheet of it on anybody's bat since Bty released T19. Literally nobody in the US plays it. But maybe in Mongolia you guys see a lot of T19? I would have guessed H3 37, so interesting tidbit.
  14. Let us talk about the mental / psychology aspect of the game.

    I doubt your change from Thursday to Friday was anything related to mental aspect. Most likely you didn't sleep well, or busy day at work, ate too heavy lunch, legs more tired, some prosaic shit of that nature. Of course when you don't feel as good it does affect your mindset after a while...
  15. Playing to Win vs Playing Your Own Game – Mental Crisis!?

    Literally everyone goes through this same phase. Here it's usually around 1200 -1500 usatt. When you have started to loop, but your loop is weak, and/or inconsistent, or you don't have the balance and technique to string together two or three loops vs block. During this period you lose some...
  16. WTT Finals Fukuoka 2024, 11/20-24

    In my defense, I thought it was bo3 all the way through.
  17. WTT Finals Fukuoka 2024, 11/20-24

    Welp, never mind. Bernie, please accept this song as my apology for ever doubting you.
  18. WTT Finals Fukuoka 2024, 11/20-24

    No complaints with Szocs' fight ever, but Manyu is too much for her. With CM retired and SYS 虎背熊腰, WMY is too much for anyone right now. Don't see CXT or WYD taking more than one set tmrw either.
  19. JTTA Selection Trial for ATTC 2026 and WTTC Continental Stage 2027, 5/26-27

    and no Bobrow in T league, so I can play audio on
  20. JTTA Selection Trial for ATTC 2026 and WTTC Continental Stage 2027, 5/26-27

    is that the tiny girl playing T league, one of the numerous Matsushima children? She is super cute and fights hard, saw her play a very entertaining 'best game' with Sato. I love T league, great production and many close games/matches due to familiarity.
