  3. benefits of playing with hurricane 3

    I would not recommend it ... just play with a different rubber ... and boost it properly.. .I am sure you have payed well to get a national blue sponge ... I am not saying what Hamazi Franz is saying is wrong .. but from the way he is descrbing it , he has done it a number of times and knows...
  4. benefits of playing with hurricane 3

    Guys , there is no reason to go back and forth on this . The reason Archayan's friend disposes off his H3 is very easily understandable for people who have used H3 and know what people do with it. Most likely he is using a booster like Dianchi or Kalin Oil . These boosters last for about 2-3...

    1. hold the paddle lightly 2. start with soft flicks and build confidence , for no spin balls I would try to put a little topspin on the flick to build in some safety instead of trying to flick flat

  8. Question on stepping around

    Sometimes ... I think we should just make up a rule where people posting such questions don't get an answers from the Goon Squad unless they post videos of their playing ... case in point .. this thread .. also I saw another thread where somebody was saying they are using Hurricane 8 on both...
  9. Question on stepping around

    the only time I have seen the coaches talk about backhand cross step is when you are out of position on a forehand to forehand topspin rally and need to get back to the table ... you can see lots of examples of that in the recent match Kanak Jha played with Patrick Francizka in TTBL ..
  10. Question on stepping around

    because what you are suggesting is not practical in a game position .. there is literally one person in the history of table tennis who has been able to do this ( Mr. Kreanga ) and he is on record saying that even with his flapjack forehand he trusts his forehand more to finish points and thinks...

    I always suspected NextLevel had "decent" level of spin .. from now on .. NextLevel is renamed to DecentLevel ... LOL ... btw, I could immediately spot that Carl was using the "somehow" keyword in his original post to get around Der_Ecthe's Goon Squad Commandments ... "Thou shalt write a...

    You could clearly see SHY is better , he is not able to read a lot of her serves and a lot of the points in the highlights ( which many be a skewed sample ) he wins is by muscling it
  16. Anti or long pimpled rubber vs fast rubber like tenergy

    .. okay , so this is a classic example of a thread which puts me off from interacting. Somebody starts a thread asking for suggestions, you ask for more information , the guy decides this is too much work , let me just do what I thought of doing anyways .. and politely indicates don't expect a...
  17. Anti or long pimpled rubber vs fast rubber like tenergy

    Even though I mostly agree with you, I did not want to be so strong against the idea right off the bat ... so I am waiting for the answers to my questions to him .. hope he comes back ... btw ... I have personally seen in india , coaches changing inverted to pips just because they don't have the...
