If your body is already almost completely past the baseline because you are standing next to the table, you must either throw the ball backwards with your throwing hand (to hit the ball in front of the baseline as you should) or hit the ball past the baseline. And it is precisely the latter that...

TH has two major shortcomings: he lacks powerful short serves, and his biggest problem is his responsiveness. It's unbelievable how many balls Wang hits around his ears without any reaction from him because he's ready on his forehand and the ball goes to his backhand, not to mention his reaction...

From what I can see, at least 10 serves are illegal. His pelvis/hips are 80% to the side of the table. This causes him to hit the ball above the table, beyond the baseline. After those serves, the third fatal ball inevitably follows because he keeps making the playing field smaller with his...

Punishment!:oops: That they are going to adjust their rubbers/sponge mix and machines for perhaps 200 or 300 copies/player. So why is Damien being so mysterious about it?:unsure:

I don't believe a word of it. I can't believe that they would adjust the composition of rubbers and/or sponges in the manufacturing process specifically for one particular player (or several players). I do believe in test compositions for professionals, but in my opinion, this is only to...

Seems pretty logical to me, since 80% of Lebrun's services are illegal anyway. They (all players) have protected each other for years. I wonder if they will now try to harm each other in the future by invoking TTR.

Andro Hexer grip SFX/powergrip SFX = very light rubbers.

Harimoto's FH has increased in power by at least 25% over the last few months!

I am particularly pleased because there are finally referees who dare to criticise players. The fact that a player now wants to challenge an opponent's serve can have advantages and disadvantages. Perhaps there is now a little bit of fear, so that players themselves will pay very close attention...

Finally!

I will always remember this one because we watched the final live in Rotterdam.

That's right. A long time ago, I played with a Ransant Beat (I've always been a big Andro fan) on my BH, and I thought we also tested a Rasanter R42 on the FH, but I can't remember why we didn't keep it and ended up with the Gewo Hype. Maybe we could try the RR42 again. The actual intention is...

Yes, I know that. Two years ago, I tried replacing the Gewo Hype XT with a Rakza Z and a Victus V22, but at that time I was still using an Andro inner carbon, and that wasn't a success. So last year we switched back to an Andro All-wood and put the softer rubbers back on. In fact, we've been...

I am considering replacing my rubbers for the new season. I have been playing with a Gewo Hype XT Pro 40.0 (spin: 125, which is a great rubber for generating spin) on my forehand and an Andro Hexer grip SFX (spin: 121) on my backhand for a very long time. Both are 1.9 versions. For now, I would...

I only see illegal services with the young American.:oops: 📐

There was already a topic about the European veteran championship: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/european-veterans-championship-novi-sad-2025.37108/

Now, to be honest, I see very few professionals who serve short. Most don't really serve short behind the net, but rather halfway onto the opponent's side of the table. When I look at the amateurs, many of their serves are noticeably shorter behind the net, but probably/usually with less effect...

Brazil vs France > 3-0

Just to be clear, Dragutin Surbek is not the legendary player, of course!
