  1. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    Well Igor, you are full of crap. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5077104/ (article from Russian scientists) Part of the reason Russian Federation has a high influenza rate is because of low rates of vaccination. See this article from Russian press...
  2. Need even more advice on equipment /s

    Maybe people can help me with another problem too. My friend with the illegal serves is just a beginner player. He's been beating me lately by pushing a lot (also with his heavy underpin serve that I keep pushing off the end of the table). I figure the thing to do is push back at him harder...

    But what about the balls that go into the net? No. I'm thinking about that Schlager or maybe a black tag Sardius. Signed Bewildered.

    Ba'al is posting on behalf of Bewildered who is too lazy to set up his own account.

    What's a hardbat? Bewildered
  6. Need even more advice on equipment /s

    Ok. Will do. I'm sure it will help me with my friend's illegal serves. He keeps chopping his serve and when I return it the ball goes off the end of the table or worse it stays on and then he smashes it by me. When he laughs about it makes me determined to win points by smashing. So I'll...

    The National Dragon Pee is sold by Proplayerconjob.net for 2 dollars. Do you think it is genuine?
  8. Need even more advice on equipment /s

    Perhaps the members of the forum can help me. I have been playing for about a year. I consider my level somewhere between intermediate and advanced. I play mostly on Saturdays. I try to model my forehand after Ma Long, I try to loop every ball with spin and speed. I have been working hard to...

    Exactly. Too much misinformation.. And yes, he was wrong on all of that. There are a lot of reasons why the death rate for this is high in China, one being the very high proportion of the population who smoke heavily. If anything death rate is lower than we think if significant numbers of...
  10. How to maintain level with infrequent play?

    You never start back from zero, fortunately. The motor memories are still in there somewhere. So you can come back to a decent level reasonably quickly. And the more you trained before the quicker you come back. But if you stop or reduce playing time for your level drops and there is no...

    Except that he is being entirely serious. Look, the situation is not good but this kind of fear mongering is not helpful. I sometimes wonder if Igor is a bot except who cares enough about TT to make one?

    None of the recent news is good.
  13. How to maintain level with infrequent play?

    It can't be done. Your level will drop. It can come back quickly. But unless you play, your level will drop.

    Severe sleep cycle disruption and declining complexity of speech, including slurring, loss of vocabulary, syntax errors, are among the symptoms of dementia. Not that I am referring to anyone in particular, mind you, although it is fair to say that keeping people with progressive cognitive...

    Get lots of sleep. Stimulates immune function more than any dietary supplement.
  16. Applegreen Allplay or Timo Boll ALC? (+ rubbers?)

    Allplay for sure. Great blade. Vega Europe is good choice too.
  17. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    Better yet, wash your hands. Oh and Carl. Rules. Physics. TT forums. Don't encourage the incorrigibles.

    Actually cases outside China are growing linearly, not exponentially. Big difference. This is true for data from China too but who knows what to make of numbers from there. Too soon to know for sure what is going to happen. It might or might not be as bad as that. Your worst case scenario...

    I have been keeping an eye on this one. Also Nature and New England Journal of Medicine websites.
  20. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    No, there are a bunch of people with the virus (more than 70,000). Among those as of a day ago we know absolute outcome for around around 18,000, and around 2,000 died, 16,000 completely cleared the virus. We will know the outcomes for more of the people each day. Death rate wont be 12%. A lot...
