  1. A cheap way to improve on a daily basis.

    Thank you - good old Ti Long :-)
  2. A cheap way to improve on a daily basis.

    I have a similar product but have struggled to find any real drills with it that help me, so I Ma interested to hear more from those that have found it beneficial.
  3. Are 5-ply wood blades more flexible than 7-ply (inner) carbon blades?

    I have two Mazunov (both 99g) and one is 1500 and the other 1470hz. My innerforce layer ALC are 1380 and 1430 88-90g)
  4. Life, Existence, and the Meaning of Long Pips - The Opus Maximus of James Z

    In my view, and regardless of his TT ability, Adam is a breath of fresh air for table tennis as a commentator and personality. He is knowledgable and I find him very insightful as a commentator, as well as fun to listen to (in comparison to many dull commentators who also may lack TT insight) I...
  5. Bounce with the Ball / Split-Step

    I did some shadow work a few mornings back - it certainly fatigued me! So, would you suggest shadow of say a FH loop followed by a bounce back to recovery at point of estimated ball contact with the other side of the table (then repeat)?
  6. Bounce with the Ball / Split-Step

    Great vid - it really shows the difference that a subtle movement made in the BH result and quality. I have continued to struggle with remembering to practice this consistently - I remember and try and then I forget.. I need to be more mindful and build a habit of this bounce step.
  7. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Congratulations for getting to the final!
  8. World Table Tennis Championships 2023

    Looking for a strong result from LGY based on his recent form - top 3!
  9. Using shoulders in forehand topspin?

    Great video - certainly my biggest FH issue is too much shoulder And upper arm use.
  10. 1ST EVER International Match | TTD Team vs PingPod

    Fabulous video of a great match, been waiting for this one for a while and it didn’t disappoint!
  11. Don't blame the rubber if you don't get enough spin.

    NL has added more value to others on this forum than most (certainly to me) - and it has been as a result of his experience, ability and willingness to offer constructive advice and observations.
  12. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Totally get that - I find the same thing (sometimes this makes me move better as I anticipate what my coach will say...)
  13. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Your return of his serve looked reasonable to me - maybe could be taken a little earlier and played a little shorter but he wasn't attacking you. Generally, when you were intentional and confident with your FH you were well on top, but when you backed it off a little then his pushes led to you...
  14. Are Butterfly shoes worth the high price?

    Limited experience my side - I have had a decent pair of Asics court shoes and now have a pair of Butterfly Lezoline rifone (top of the range) and they are superb in every way - a massive improvement and I struggle to fault them. Are they worth £120 - to me, and in comparison to decent running...
  15. Musing on slow/mid-fast equipment[Stiga ARClassic, OSP V-), technique, development, etc [self-videos included]

    That’s a beast of a bat.. mine is not that fast and certainly more control than my Viscaria
  16. Musing on slow/mid-fast equipment[Stiga ARClassic, OSP V-), technique, development, etc [self-videos included]

    Yes, it’s definitely an outlier on the 5 ply side but also on the all wood side given it’s feel and speed.
  17. Musing on slow/mid-fast equipment[Stiga ARClassic, OSP V-), technique, development, etc [self-videos included]

    Me neither really, until I stumbled across a 99g Mazunov - that’s a whole different level and changed my thinking about 5 ply/all wood completely. Feel, touch, speed and balance..
  18. WTT Star Contender Bangkok 2023

    I found myself pulling for LGY - he has so much talent and is just an amazing athlete but has struggled to perform at his best. He really exorcised some demons in that match and fought to get the win - I hope we see more of him winning again.
