  1. How often should a very attacking Japanese penhold player change their rubber

    except the finger rest points :D Also I don't remember exactly but commonly said as a thumb rule, a rubber's lifespan should be around 100 hours. That means once a week 2 hour training - one rubber for a year. Of course it depends how hard you hit, how much you do multi-ball, how fresh rubber...
  2. Improved Multiball Training Video

    May I recommend to bring table back little more to the feeder's side? It seems like that you are hesitating to go back on follow up shots.
  3. DOWNFALL OF TABLE TENNIS, WHILE PICKLEBALL IS GAINING POPULARITY STEADILY.

    Tennis = table tennis (where spin and speed exists) Pickleball = hardbat (absence of both) I guess we don’t need to reinvent the wheel. However, lp/anti is a different “thing”.
  4. China Smash 2024, Beijing, 9/26-10/6

    In the interview of Ma Long with Timo Boll, he said that he wants to continue to play in future like him. He also said he will try to stand 1-2 years more, but 4 years passed. Personally, I want to continue to watch him, his games have the unique taste to see.
  5. I touch the table

    It’s said in one commentary that the venue in China Smash was very humid and hot, it might be reason for increase. Of course there are tons of tactical hand wipes.
  6. How do these setups compare

    I don't think G1 is slower than Andro Roxon / plaxon (I don't remember exactly, but I have played similar rubber in speed glue era) I assume you got this impression from revspin.net scores. (these rubbers should be from pretty old generation) Heavy ➕ to @Tyce , you should try options if you...
  7. Glueing

    3+2 layers Dhs 15, a couple heavy books, then 12h-24h waiting
  8. What is the First Speed or the Second Speed?

    This is false interpretion of a basic concept :) or you are trolling us 🤔 Push means in TT is the underspin. Push in your image and story is means horizontal impact. Of course, Actual pushing (not the one igor’s mentioned) makes hop effect ball tends to climb in the air which increase...
  9. What is the First Speed or the Second Speed?

    This formula seems so wrong :) +1 more than that seems dramatization
  10. What cheap balls can I get for training?

    Maybe dhs 1 star? But if other person in your club has same balls, you may consider other brands so you can easily distinguish yours :D
  11. Asking for Strategy against these 2 Players

    Your opponent has only couple attack from BH side in videos, he often pops up with push. He seems as he have stronger FH side. He tries to cover whole table with FH by pivot attack. His receive stance is overly inclined to FH, his right foot is way too front. You may check the photo below...
  12. Guys, I need your opinion and help. Would greatly appreciate your feedback and thoughts here.

    I'll try to be short and relevant. 1.) Please explain in words, what is your biggest frustration? i.e "Feeling great in training but then buckling down in matches" 1.) In consistency, especially in matches but sometimes in training, can not hitting same/similar balls like previous. 2.) What...
  13. Hi, how to do this well?

    I don't know, but you can gather basic principles like positioning, timing, anticipation, motion, handling etc from them at least.
  14. Hi, how to do this well?

    Ironically the coaching could be more effective when you are younger. Apart from that you may check these, Heming Hu has a class for that topic on skool.com, also videos on Youtube. Then Fang Bo has a lot videos on Bilibili and Youtube which I quite like.
  15. Nittaku New Products 2024

    I was also wondering Acoustic Inner Carbon G-revision versus Long 5 or BTY innerforce series, Xiom txmi etc Because - the price is good (~€50 cheaper than alternatives) - quality of craftsmanship and material are very high, (even better than butterfly) - Weight, thickness, handle size...
  16. How do you learn best?

    Tldr: By getting private coaching. Even I watch multiple times video, rehearse by shadow drill, catch video, then go play. I may fail, and repeat mistakes. But with a proper coaching, I can understand better, or better embrace the concept by instant feedback and multiple repetition. There...
  17. If you could buy only one more blade, what would you get?

    National Q968 88gr Already using a Long 5, no plan to change in foreseen future. But the black-yellow handle seems better :D But I heard many QC issues, and Q968 is prone to be stepped up by photographers.
  18. How many complete racket setups do you own?

    1- main -> HL5 - H3 Neo Prov BS - T19 2- back up -> Fang Bo Carbon - old rubbers from main 3- alternative back up -> Acoustic - old rubbers from main
  19. Went back to slower blade, now totally confused

    I’m feeling same with 5ply soft blades amazing control, almost holding ball to where I want, However when I do couple steps back, try to counter loop, it feels dead weight with H3, feels like I’m playing with kitchen sponge. I find an inner carbon blade as optimal for my taste, yet probably I...
  20. What brand of TT balls do you prefer?

    Well known brands are ok, nittaku, dhs, butterfly, double fish, tibhar, xiom, joola, stiga etc. But I don’t get some shitty brands has 3 star ittf. They doesn’t jump properly, slipping on rubber, skidding on table. They even shouldn’t be used for training.
