  1. #control (science / ability / perception / reality/ circumstanses) )

    You cannot assign constant number, but I believe that it is possible to quantify it. Just no one tried (and I suppose it is pretty useless, because it depends on a person too) The difference in our approaches is that you want to have function like "Control(paddle)" and say that there is no such...
  2. #control (science / ability / perception / reality/ circumstanses) )

    You should compare Dan to Dan in your example to leave paddle influence only. Also you should compare not game result but accuracy of each type of shots. For example, looping with some tensor rubber and looping with long pips will definitely produce different results :) Another example, when...
  3. #control (science / ability / perception / reality/ circumstanses) )

    I had (and still have) a feeling with my rubbers that they are harder when cold and softer when hot. So if it is true, then with harder rubber it is more difficult for ball to sink into it and that might produce less spin and it might fell like it is less grippy. Also if rubber is colder than...
  4. The effect on weight (of player) on play!

    I gained ~9lbs since September 2020 (now I'm 13st 11lbs). Ironically, I started gaining them just when I returned to training. I don't see it affected me in any way (well, probably there is some difference but it is rather small that I don't feel it). I guess it is more about training and about...

  6. #control (science / ability / perception / reality/ circumstanses) )

    For me control is when I can actually hit the table. So for a player it should be about consistency. Giving incoming ball is always exactly the same and I'm trying to hit it exactly the same, what types of parameters racket can have? Velocity, angle, maybe acceleration. I'm human and not a...
  7. Psoas injury - is it common for table tennis players

    Not sure if I had exactly the same problem, but my lower back pains ended after 1 month rest and 3 or 4 visits to osteopath. I couldn't sit in a normal chair and had to work using kneeling chair for a while . Now if I don't do good warm up before and good stretching after (I feel that stretching...
  8. Aurus Prime, Evo mxp, Tenergy 05 and Tenergy 19 How do they compare?

    If it is about these two, then on my opinion when playing on tb spirit it was like: 1) T05 has more spin than mxp 2) I used to serve better with T05 (producing more underspin easier) 3) speed is about the same, maybe slightly in favor of mxp 4) flat hitting is way better with mxp, it is not like...
  9. Which rubbers do you consider superior to tenergy 05?

    Mx-p for me is not a superior to tenergy 05 but maybe on par. Tenergy was slightly better in looping and serving and sponge durability (for me) but worse in smashing, blocks, short pushes and price. Counter looping is about the same. Still keen to try mx-d, hopefully my current pair of mx-p...
  10. What blade and rubber do You guys recommend?

    I recommend you to change blade and keep current rubbers for a while, then you will see whether you need to change rubbers or not. I wouldn't call mx-p a slow rubber
  11. new shoes

    Guess, I can answer my own question now. My feet are 30cm, I used to play in shoes which are 305mm (adidas size EU 47 1/3). tabletennis11 guys measured innersole of Mizuno Wave Drive 8, EU 46 (which are supposed to be 30cm) and it was over 30.5cm (their ruler was not long enough, approximately...
  12. Being a tall player and new yinhe rubber (mercury storm)

    Ovtcharov - 1.86 Samsonov - 1.89 Franziska Patrick - 1.9 Mattias Falck - 1.88 Wang Liqin - 1.85 Liam Pitchford - is either 1.83-1.86 (I suspect that 1.85 or 1.86 is closer to reality) Hugo Calderano is also close to that - 1.82 There are many top level quite tall players. Find someone whose...
  13. Table tennis 11 Racket assembly + Lacquering

    For example, here https://ooakforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=17696&start=15 people say that it has tendency to splinter. But does it really matter now? If rubbers need to be replaced, then your friend has no choice, but to find out it by removing existing rubbers. Just try to minimize potential...
  14. new shoes

    I read (not only here) that mizuno size might be not correct. Does anyone know whether Mizuno Wave Drive 8 size in cm specified by mizuno is correct and can be used to choose proper shoe size?
  15. WTT Macao "Innovations"

    I'm ok with sudden death points, I'm ok with having to get two points advantage in the last game. But how are they going to explain to audience that some games ends at 8 points and some at 11? And final match till 9 games? Really? They cannot make people watch 7 games match and now they are...
  16. Problems with Dandoy-Sports

    Which e-mail have you tried? I've placed an order at the start of April and they kept ignoring my messages to info@... and messages left on their website for about 1 month. But then at the start of May I found another e-mail on their website support@... (at customer service page) and...
  17. was it correct decision?

    If umpire is right and it hit net clamp, then Sidorenko is wrong. But I think that it hit table there. Because after hitting net clamp it was supposed to go more forward rather than sideways. And it looks to me that it went to the side after contact. In this case Sidorenko is right. Watched it...
