Unbelievable, young player with material. No doubt his mentor must be cut from the same wood.:D

Not agree, but that has been discussed here before. They are only better thanks to their material. Give them normal 2x inverted rubbers and you will more than likely play them to all corners of the table or playing area. And weze they are also always the laziest players because they haven't...

Your drawing is incomplete! There should also be a sequel, No.5...how would you draw it? :LOL:

I have always followed this topic with interest because I was very interested in how others put together and made their timbers. My interest still stems from my younger years when we sometimes experimented with making our own speakers and table tennis wood. More than forty years ago, we bought a...

Indeed, Asics is better when you have a narrow foot. I also tried them and for me they were way too narrow. I have put Sorbothane insoles in my Mizuno's for years.

I am of the principle that, tactically, there is far too little parallel play, although there has been some change in this in the last few years. The scoring rate (if carefully executed) will be higher with a parallel ball because of the surprise effect.

Great match from Togami. :love: Real shame about his last three moves. But I have reservations about his tactics, or not... Pretty much all his BH balls went/were diagonal, at least 90%. Rarely, if ever, did he play a BH > parallel and when he did play one, 99% of them went wrong. Remarkably...

I had a thought exchange in another group about Lin's nationality. The other wrote that Lin was a Chinese. I messaged him that Lin is a Taiwanese. According to that man, Lin remains a Chinese, mentioning that a Cretan is also a Greek. An example that is not comparable at all in my opinion...

This: Reflex test and this: Batax-test

I do not know if he himself knows what his lesser qualities are but I have known for a long time what his shortcoming is and for attentive readers I have written it here several times, namely his reflex time especially in his BH > FH movement and with age and having developed more muscles it has...

Not 100% completely agree, your weaknesses must always be improved to achieve better stability. Lin has to have just about the best BH timing in the circuit. His FH has improved a lot now. The fact that he is left-handed almost always gives up some advantage. This, together with his tactical...

Almost every player is vulnerable short on his FH. I don't know how this comes about but many players don't seem to have practised on short play balls on the FH. Some examples, D. Ovtcharov cannot push on his FH > uses his BH push for this. Harimoto does have a great FH flip but usually opts to...

I look forward to the days when they will put an invisible buzzerline in line with the table width. The buzzer is going to work overtime. Very sad that no referees dare call the players on this or deduct points.

Only a few?🤣

⚠️ Caution fragile!⚠️:D

18 points in a row from Hugo. However, this finale did not warm me up.

I still maintain, HT has a lack of responsiveness. This came up several times in his match against Lin. Weak response of RH > FH. It looks always of he is surprised.

Saw some really nice points in the Ma vs Liang match

I have actually always been happy with my Gewo Hype XT Pro 40.0 on my Andro TP_LIGNA CI as an FH. We also tried Nexxus EL Pro 43 once but it was not a success. Not sure if there is a similar rubber with even more spin options than a Hype XT Pro 40.0.

Many of his balls indeed go past the table!
