Hi, the swings are from the principle same/similar. Both shots needs the pivot on the elbow. For the topspin (ball outgoing of the table) you have more space to launch the arm and so the stroke, and you have the possibility to use also as pivot the shoulder (longer stroke). In case of flick the...

what I see is that the quantity of long(er) services are more then years ago. It doen't mean that short services are no more interesting, but, as Hysteresis wrote ("Long serves ARE a bit more prevalent than they used to be, precisely because banana flips are so common now. It's to punish the...

Probably your pov is not so far o mine (or viceversa). If you are very close to the good players and you will have introspection in the International world you will have seen all the points (and sure more) I have listed! Your statement is right! But, if you do not have the knowledge to see and...

I can agree with Lula's post. There are many little things that were introduced in this years (5 ... 8 years?), like the longer services, services with upper rotation, bh-flick + variations (fruit variations :p) like bananas and strawberrys, but also sidespin in the answers by short-short, the...

interesting! no one say or reply to an event that was also defined confirmed by LGL... ok, will wait till the coin is fallen...

Hi everybody, I notice a continuos evolution of the technique of the strokes in our sport. We are today at the quickest, fastest improvement of playing TT. Most of the services are long in order to invite the opponent to open and on this return to flash the ball with a counter topspin or a...

Hi all, I was just curious about the new BTY A0+ ball used in WTTC in Halmstad. I saw many changes of balls (I suppose mostly broken balls), but no one and no thread (not only TTD...) is pointing out comments about. It would be great to have some indications, especially from the players...

if parallax or not, behind or not, at the end, and as "normal", all players are going to the limit and a little (or more than a litte) over the rule. The touching point between racket and ball is definitively not to see. The rule says that nothing must be in between vertically among ball (by...

Many thanks from my side for the video! but! but! but! on the on side the service is amazing, on the other the service is hidden... and no one of the officials (referees) says anything. in the slow motion the evidence that ML throw the ball perfectly vertical, but after that he set down the...

most of time, due to nerves, the purpose of the game goes lost: the pleasure to play TT! I'm sure, if we see - and we work to see the match as an opportunity to express our own (character, TT abilities, challenge opportunity, ecc) - we will reduce the disefficiency of the negative stress...

I was just thinking about this matter. at the end no more informations are coming from China. no informations about LGL, ML, FZD, XX and Cai Zen Hua... the calm before storm? Same missing informations about possible change of coaches for both men and women. we will see...

after reading more or less all the informations till now, not knowing what really was the matter about LGL, thinking about the better way or which way were the better one, I think that players and coaches failed in method, but the heart they have demonstrated to LGL is enormous, big, wonderful...

Hi PiZa, I use Donic Ovtcharov Carbospeed together with BF M1 Turbo (2,0mm) and I must say it works very well. Speed is enough, spin is very good (it depends obviously from your technique), control is in a good shape of balance. Vibrations are ok, and it is a little bit more flex against my...

Just so say: the moduification is the shorten the blade on top of about 1mm, just to have not so much head balance. the other point is that the BF M1 T (2mm) are heavy and with this reduction of 1mm the blade maintain the head balance, but not so much. It is easy to manage in acceleration...

hi kavinx2001, I can suggest the BTY Innerforce ZLC because it is not extreme fast, not extreme stiff but fast enough to drive from evereywhere topspins, looped or flat! I'm not a friend of BTY, but I must say, this blade is fantastic! sure, it's expendive, but if you try to find in some forum...

Hi Harveyaquino, i'm using since last march IF ZLC and i find it's a fantastic blade! fast, but not so much to throw out the ball (the missing last 3 cm of table that we all need...). I used also the brother of it: IF T5000. Wonderful blade, but, you, know, there are 5-6 cm of missing table...

hi, i'm surprised that someone thinks about this outside of professional contents. and i'm happy that you wrote about this matter! i'm working hard on me but, to reach higher level, you must be able physically (as body and also genetic based) to improve! as trainer&coach, i'm working also on...

Hi Jorge, (third try) I'm just an argentine with german passport living in Turin (I) and your question is quite complicated to answer. I will try my best to give you one possible answer (I'm sure there are more answers to give and also more aspects to consider). Here my answer(s), I don't want...

Morning to all. The indications given on the ETTU page indicates that the problem is more a political-economical as a technical problem. in a second phase the technical problem will be faced because, at the end, some balls has to be selled / used to play. At the moment I cannot imagine a ball...

there are normal balls, not plastic. that's my opinion because transparency and seam. packaging indicates also something about olimpics...
