  3. Rio Olympic 2016 Preparation Tournament - Germany

    I think Vladi was too tired to play good in the finals.. But from the results he is in good form.. I hope he can fight his way to the medals in Rio..
  4. Ask Panagiotis Gionis a question on the TTD podcast!

    A fun fact: in Bulgaria( where I'm from :) ) the pimpled rubbers are called 'teeth'. So we play here not with long pips, but with long teeth. and the question is: Does he think that with the new balls he's counterattacks became easier to handle for the opponents?
  5. Help me find a pimples rubber for my grandad

    I would say that there is an another option - not only short pips: Why won't you give him a soft slow tacky cheap chinese rubber on the backhand? Some friendship or something like that(not a H3 national ;) ). Why? Because the tackiness helps dealing with spin a lot and when the rubber is tacky...
  6. Tearing my hair out with OX rubber

    If you have enough patience you could clear the rubber from the glue but it's not fun at all :) As an OX user I found out that not all water based glues are strong enough for gluing OX pimples. For example Revolution #3 wasn't strong enough for me and the Yasaka Norisuke san worked just fine...
  7. Slovenia Open 2016

    It would be very cool if Joo could win this one too :D
  8. Croatia Open 2016

    Jun Mizutani ..................... 5 . 100.00% :D
  9. Glues

    Revolution #3 is just to weak for me. Not good for OX pips at all. I find Yasaka Norisuke san (who's that?) very good - strong, but not too strong :)
  10. Blade or rubber when trying to get more control on Long Pip chopping?

    It's really hard to answer your questions without seeing.. May be you have some video where your problems can be seen so we could try to help you? I can say only one thing - about the slow and spinny loop. You need quick wrist action when chopping such loop. These are the best loops for a...
  11. Should serve safely or try to serve a surprise to win deuce game?

    As I see it: the point when you are 17:16 up is as crucial as when you are 15:16. And as I understand - you've already played 7 times such points before this moment and took them using one certain tactics. So why change it? I don't see a reason. :)
  12. players who win by "oficio"

    If I understand the question correctly then Samsonov should qualify for an answer :)
  13. Solo Drills

    I'll try to describe my experience in solo drills.. The simplest thing is using a bucket or a cup or something like that placing it somewhere on the opposite side of the table and trying to make a topspin in it (my coach forced me to do for some time :) ). Second is training around the net...
  14. Blade and rubbers from Yasaka

    I would recommend Rakza 7 or 9 for rubbers. 9 is just a little faster with the same topsheet.. The X version is just.. I didn't like it - the topsheet is very soft (not for me). but I know a lot of players that like the X very much.
  15. World Team Championship 2016 - TTD Competition!

    Men's Event: Gold - China Silver - Japan Bronze - Portugal Women's Event: Gold - China Silver - Japan Bronze - Korea Republic
  16. Can anyone give me any coaching on my long pimple chopping?

    Ruth is just great! :) But. I think for your defense to improve - you need a stronger opponent. As I see it, the situation is like this: the topspins are slow and not very powerfull so you don't have to really chop them with a long stroke (your stroke is short, you don't use your legs and body a...
  17. Europe Top 16 - 2016

    There should be such an option on the Browser settings menu.. But it depends on your mobile phone(OS) + browser + do you have flash installed..
  18. Europe Top 16 - 2016

    No - it's free, but has some advertising.. Also if you try to watch from a mobile device you should load the Full version of the web page.. When the mobile version is opened it says you should pay :)
  19. Help with rubber selection

    I would suggest Hurricane 3-50 soft. It has lots of control, softens after a while and the spin is good. For me it can be the closest actual approximation to Geospin Tacky (which is tacky, light, slow).
