  1. Tony's Table Tennis Agency - Pro League, Pro Training, Pro everything.

    You could also do some research in Belgium, although I don't know if there are any financial margins at the moment, but some clubs do have savings or good sponsors.... One of my former clubs play with their first team in the super division. With, among others, Pär Gerell, Quintin Robinot, Olav...

    All leftists in power! ;)
  3. Andro blades.....Good ? Bad ?

    I am a fairly big proponent of Andro blades and rubbers. Had several woods in the past. Why, 1 the (konkav) grip is ideal for me and 2 they have some super light blades. My favourite all time is Temper Tech All+ The bottom picture is a TP_Ligna All that I am playing with now.
  4. How to minimize the time between second bounce and third bounce on the serve?

    Maybe this video by Bryant Craig can help you. At 00:59, you see him play very briefly during a league match in Antwerp (Belgium).
  5. Contact time with the rubber and hitting area

    So, with a top spin ball where the point of contact on your racket is at the top (as an example), there is more spin in it than if you made the same stroke (at the same angle) with the lower part of the racket. So with a push ball, just the opposite at the bottom more spin than if you hit the...
  6. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    Gosh, that used to be interesting turning the wood in your hand when it was still possible to play with 1 colour. Back then, it was terribly difficult to play against a player with one side Anti and another side Feint lined. Listening well was the message then. Now I find mostly that a player...
  7. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    Yes I see Sabine top 25 even faster for the very simple reason that she could play table tennis before she starts anti now. That makes a big difference to Luca who I don't see getting top 50. Just because you can knock some top players once doesn't mean you are a world player right away. I don't...
  8. Does anyone else put rubber bands on their handle to adjust weight distribution?

    Surely you can cut 3-4-5-6-7-8-9mm, etc... according to need?
  9. Does anyone else put rubber bands on their handle to adjust weight distribution?

    Use inner tube from a bicycle (smallest ones). Can then be cut to length.
  10. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    Thank you very much for your explanation. I don't understand it though. Still changing at that age. I think she understands herself that she has reached the maximum of her career or is she hoping to rise a few more places? And why? At a certain point, you have to be satisfied with what you have...
  11. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    Sorry but we're not going to compare L. Mladenovic to Sabine Winter now, are we? Sabine has long since proved that she can play table tennis both BH and FH and she is going to master that with an anti-rubber soon too. I don't see it with Luka. He is a textbook example as a garage player. In my...
  12. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    Suddenly my interest in Sabine is gone!😃
  13. Let's talk forehand topspin of these two pros

    I would call player 1's FH more of a counter-attack, while player 2 uses a clear looping top spin. I myself am/was much more like player 2 and also left-handed. If you play a little further from the table and you control this stroke you give yourself more time I think. Also positionally, I think...

    Also Bruna under the roof at Andro. Bruna Takahashi & Andro
  15. Fan zhendong, Ma Long and Cheng Meng announces Retirement from WTT/ITTF

    WTT has shot in its own foot, what I have written here for much longer, there are far too many mandatory tournaments to play with too few financial concessions. Add to that the strange point counts and/or penalties. Many a player sees their family life destroyed by the travelling and they are...
  16. Need advice for a allround+ blade with a big handle

    Andro TP_Ligna ALL wood Composition: model TP_Ligna ALL 1+5 ply LIMBA 2+4 ply LIMBA centre ply KIRI A lovely wood. Very controllable and, combined with a 2.1 rubber, certainly not slow.
  17. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    I think I only watched 2 x 2 minutes of each clip and I immediately observed that the non-penholder player has the wrong game attitude. Just because you have a slightly or somewhat athletic appearance does not mean you also have technical, tactical and a better set up. There is still a lot of...
  18. Best way to practice 3rd ball attack?

    Start with a service from above the table surface and preferably from the side from the table. Guaranteed success to finish your third ball!:ninja:

  20. ITTF World Youth Championships 2024, Helsingborg, 11/22-29

    I love Annett's game. As you know, parallel balls rank high with me. Too few drills are made based on this, in my opinion, and have been for years. As a left-hander, I run high on her parallel balls along the line which she frequently looks up.
