  1. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    @Jslick89 saw me in a not so happy mode and a neutral mode in local league tonite in TWO moments. First was right after I lost 13-15 in 5th after so many lets, nets (including one where brother of opponent nearly ran into me at 13-13 to retrieve a ball) (opponent tried to give me a let and I...
  2. Please give me advice on my table tennis posture.

    This YT channel is about two Korean grade school girls, could be sisters and prolly dad or mom doing the YT channel and posting here on TTD. You never know who is writing... in older days, no one could write or speak worth much in Korea schools... now it is a whole new game and some try to learn...

    As for arc... I think high arc shots while you are developing get the ball on the table more... especially when you are focusing on SPIN, which is what all of us should be doing instead of banging the crap outta that sucka. Spin wins. You won't make smashes if out of position and and going for...

    I know I am gunna sound like such a Betty bitter baddie saying this, but when a player is developing and uses a TBS and many such modern composite blades, just about every impact feels like it was struck right... it will not tell you. A slower rated blade, even older wood blades, will give you...

    YES. This vid is old as sin, but so right. Coach shows very well how to lean into and hop for that cross step... with explosive push off of hitting leg. This power hop works well for a 2 step (balls within a meter so away) and a cross step for those balls 1.5 to 2+ meters away. One day, this...

    @dingyibvs We gotta go to Pleasanton and tear up the doubles jokers again sometime. Sounds like now all I gotta do is serve or return and watch you add another point to the scoreboard. You were already doing it on 3rd ball setups...

    OC, The Z version plays like med hardness, or at least significantly harder than a soft sponge... and a lot of developing players will not use a harder feeling rubber very well opening vs underspin (unless they are forward loop driving the heck outta it, then it is a good rubber) Consider any...
  8. Clean ball opponent vs Junky opponent

    I described a lot of what is going on about not reading the ball well, but the issue of pissing away points has some other stuff going on. First thing happening is failing to CONTROL DRACULA. What do I mean? Many players see a ball (but do not read it properly and/or do not be in position with...
  9. Clean ball opponent vs Junky opponent

    The bold says a lot about a LOT of players... even those cracking the top 10% of all tourney players do this... a LOT. Some of it is simply not being good. Some of this is inexperience. Some of it is not recognizing what just happened to the ball at impact and immediately in subconscious...

  11. Can't find the right rubber for my FH

    Last night at Citrus heights, John Rambo Daniil, a rising local Ukrainian player, got a sheet of Aurus from me, had me slap it on hiz Super Viscaria... dude all smiles on his BH (He used Aurus for his BH). Could land it with percentage and pace. He also got his lettered uniforms out of the...
  12. Can't find the right rubber for my FH

    Original Aurus is 50 degree sponge, soft is low 40s... their prime and whatever other variants are different, never used them so I do not know. With the soft topsheet, that 50 sponge feels softer, yes it feels like a mid firm. Aurus simply makes every shot you do easier... kinda like a more...
  13. Can't find the right rubber for my FH

    Danoma... try out other players bats for one minute every chance you get... this is free of money cost AND players are usually very willing to show off their stuff. This is try before you buy stuff. I think ultimately, a soft topsheet with a firm enough sponge is what you want... and Tibhar...

    Yes were not mad, but maybe I made Daniil mad by telling the world about his wonderful name. Watch out for the Klondikes, Daniil gets better after eating them and he actually lost weight.

  17. Anybody tried Air Assassin rubber?

    I gunna be Oscar the Grouch here... that rubber cost relative peanuts.. just buy it from Cole and use it. You are helping him help you and me out by buying it from him sight unseen. I did get a free sheet of that rubber from him on one of my orders when I was still in the Army... that rubber...

    A few weeks ago, I got a few DoniC Persson Power Play V2 blades in SH handle. Straight out of box without changing the handle to a fat handle... totally OEM... slapped on a used sheet of regular Aurus for FH and a new black sheet of Aurus Soft... WOW. Blade is SUPPOSED to be slower by some...
