  1. I’m qualifying for the English nationals help

    Yeah, stop making so many threads about yourself..... Keep it all to 1 thread - It's basic manners.
  2. struggling to do weight forehand transfer

    Hi Janove, Can I suggest you keep all of this to 1 single thread (maybe..... "WaldernsGhost's development" thread), where you can ask questions about your game. Also, I'd refrain from asking any more questions until you can put a video of you playing on YouTube, otherwise it's a waste of time...
  3. Harimoto defeats Fan Zhendong | Asian Cup 2018

    Ohhhhhhh he got a filthy edge to win! Nothing worse than winning the match of your life but having some of the excitement taken away due to the luck of an edge.
  4. Sandpaper vs. Sponge

    I don't normally feed the trolls - But I'll make an exception here, as I feel I have something to contribute. I'm not really sure what your point is here? That a "cheap hard bat can beat an expensive bat"? Well..... yeah..... I don't think that's news is it? Or is your point that simply a...
  5. Impressive Hand Switch Shot by Amateur Player

    I mean...... why would you even do that there? lol - It makes no sense unless you were going to do it regardless. Very well pulled off though - I see he was losing quite bad in that set!
  6. What do you think about my play? (Video)

    The problem with a 7 second snap shot, is you don't get any sort of idea. You could be playing as well as you've ever played for 7 seconds...... Or you could be having a nightmare. If I saw someone play like you, I'd assume they were much better than the opposition, and you were just keeping...
  7. What do you think about my play? (Video)

    From that very brief clip...... It's hard to tell! Do you have a habit of dropping back and playing a bit passive? I know I certainly do!
  8. Need some new shoes, need advice

    Butterfly used to have them made by Asics - But I believe they now do it all in house (I much preferred the Asics made shoes). Mizuno Wave Drive have been the best shoes I've ever worn - Having previously used multiple pairs of Butterfly shoes over the years.
  9. Double serve like in tennis

    Terrible idea! lol Who would want to watch a match of "extreme serve" followed by a 3rd ball kill or even a missed service return. If anything, make the ball cross the net 3 times before the point can count! Haha - That would get some rallies going. But no.... I don't think anything needs to...
  10. Could EU teams cooperate closer?

    Yep - They advertised it quite a lot on social media.
  11. Could EU teams cooperate closer?

    I'm not saying 2 weeks will significantly improve players - But I do believe it will make them sharper than practicing with people significantly below their level. Even 2 weeks of solid training would be better than nothing. I'm not saying it'll happen either.... I was just answering the...
  12. Could EU teams cooperate closer?

    I think people are massively overcomplicating what was a relatively simple questions. If the TOP 12 European Players had weeks of practice together before a big event, would it make them sharper? YES - Of course it would!! Anyone who thinks differently is mad. Take England for example - We...
  13. New DHS Online Shop for Europeans

    I'd say that was pretty accurate. Over the past 15 years, I've seen local leagues shrink from 6/7 divisions, to 2/3. Pretty much everyone you speak to in the UK knows Table Tennis is shrinking in participation. It's a sad time!
  14. Weird playing stlye or smooth playing style?

    Not in those words. But you said if you wanted to improve your forehand, don't copy Ma Long's? This is where I partly agree. I agree it's not ideal to simply say "let's change my forehand loop to imitate Ma Long's" - Changing a stroke is a lengthy lengthy process (and ideally needs a coach)...
  15. Weird playing stlye or smooth playing style?

    I agree in parts to this.......But for people who don't have access to a coach, or would like to refine a part of their technique..... Watching videos of Pro players is a very good way to do this. No.... Watching 100's of hours of Ma Long will not make you play like Ma Long - But it's certainly...

  17. New DHS Online Shop for Europeans

    I don't follow the Pro's equipment - But that's interesting! Getting back to the DHS Europe shop, I'll be interested to see what they sell (and at what price!) My gut feeling is it'll be 1.5 times more expensive than the Chinese equivalent.
  18. Back Playing Table-Tennis

    Haha, that's OK - TT365 is another good record of how you are improving. As for the serve, I'm not sure I'd have the guts to do it in a game (certainly not that close to the edge!). If a lefty has a decent backhand - It'll be flying in the opposite corner from where you served in no time...
  19. New DHS Online Shop for Europeans

    Interesting! Do DHS sell the blue sponge H3 directly in China? I was always led to believe it wasn't available (unless you go through 3rd party sites). Edit: It also says Ma Long uses H3 Neo on the backhand - Is that true?
