  1. Why doesn't Nittaku fastarc G-1 spin as much as my soft tensor rubber can?

    I used to not like G1, but I tried G1 recently on a couple of blades (Stiga Golden 45, HAL), and it did feel a bit like an easy to play D05. And I can understand beginners won't like it that much because the hard rubber top makes it feel a bit dead compared to other 47.5 rubbers.
  2. Why doesn't Nittaku fastarc G-1 spin as much as my soft tensor rubber can?

    No one even argued that maybe G1 was designed more ahead of time and maybe not that suited for the old small balls, but good for the new balls? Was G1 this popular about 10 15 years ago? Myabe not as popular as now.

  5. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Your form is getting better. But still, it is quite obvious that your hand and body/leg do not work quite together very well. Many people suggested learning drive first, but it seems that it is not an option to you. Watch more tutorial videos might help. For adults without coaching, the...
  6. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    I think @Takkyu_wa_inochi gave a good point here. You really somehow looked for confirmation not advice here. Your form is not bad, and many people had given correct suggestions to you. But table tennis techniques are somehow weird that you need someone to show you in real life to improve. And...

    The key is that the elbow is relaxed before contacting the ball. And usually it is an adjustment before contact. Ideally, the elbow should not be lifted before contact at all.

  9. Mizutani ZLC underrated Fantastic blade

    To me, JM zlc is good for smashing as well. A blade is good for flat hitting as long as it is not too flexible like Long 5.

    Has Guo Yan been coaching at HITTA? Wang Hui seems to be able to get some good players from CNT to coach for him.

    Was Guo Yan SYS's teammate in the provincial team?
  12. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    This is what I call fake feeling of using body power. You probably felt that you used a lot of body power for your drive/loop, but from the video, it showed your body move do not really provide power or speed for hand/arm swing. Your arm power mostly was from your shoulder. To get more body/leg...
  13. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    You won't create much power if your hand moves before your leg/body gives power. And you won't give good power to the ball when your elbow is far away from your body when you contact the ball.
  14. US buying from Dandoy tariff problem

    Did anyone in the US buy from Dandoy recently? How did the custom clearance work? Did you need to pay for the tariff before delivery?

  16. How to play with a hard ball?

    DH para 40+ is good. DHS balls are good. Nittaku premium is good for play, but bad for wallet and usually with bad durability. I remember that I broke 2 or 3 Nittaku balls in one night. The good thing for the Joola training balls is that they are really durable.
  17. How to play with a hard ball?

    Also it is similar to the transition from 38+ to 40+ balls, brush looping is basically useless. Brush looping is particularly useless for these hard Joola balls. Drive loop with an angle is the way to go. It will force me to use drive loop more even for backspin balls.
  18. How to play with a hard ball?

    I also have some Huison training balls from Aliexpress. They are pretty good, almost like DHS or DF 3 star tournament balls. I can feel the difference between the Huison and Joola balls just holding them in the palm.
  19. How to play with a hard ball?

    I can feel the Joola 3 star advanced training balls are harder than any of the balls I have used. Nittaku 3 stars balls are hard, but not near to these Joola balls.
