  1. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    speaking of playing like RSM, didn't RSM himself gave an advise to amateurs that imitating his style of play is not necessarily the right way for most people? the advice is in the "breaking stereotypes" video btw i agree that RSM's playstyle is very effective, especially when young, but only if...

  5. Tape on Japanese penhold backhand?

    i think you're not supposed to modify your rubber in any way, period. but dont let that stop you from sanding your rubber if you want to it certainly didnt stop wang hao from playing in matches :cool:
  6. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    nittaku blades truly have remarkable quality, i can attest to that i have a nittaku jpen myself too. nittaku trefire, a 3-ply hinoki blade. it plays like a charm and it smells sorta like cinnamon. the only nitpicks i have for it is that the cork is burled and can be quite slippery. after...

  9. Tape on Japanese penhold backhand?

    yeah, its sponge since yoshida kaii plays traditional cpen (no rubber on the back) he put a sponge on the back for comfort assuming you play cpen i think attaching a sponge to your backhand rubber is considered a violation of ITTF rules (if you are concerned with the rules at all) although i...
  10. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    did any part of your game that you usually play suffer when you did the cork modification? also that is a really sexy blade indeed just curious, why are you considering the square-round version and not the square version? if you're looking for more power in smashes, wouldn't the square...

  14. General questions and Equipment Recomendations for a college player

    i'm no TT expert but heres my two cents regarding your form, i think your many losses in matchplay with other players could be due to your mental strength yeah, i feel you (maybe). you can rip a brutal shot with big fat topspin consistently in practice, but when it comes to matches your entire...

    nice to see you here lasta :) i managed to fix my wrist problem, it took me a month. you're right, its a problem with my grip. the source of my problems as i found out is that my grip is not firm enough and the pressure on the blade with my thumb and middle finger is not enough. my grip...
