The patience and willingness to endure some losses is the tough thing. If you take some coaching lessons on technique, try it once in a match, lose and revert back to the old style it won't work.

First you have to find out whether they want to get better. Many players are fine with having a limited, low level play and really there is nothing wrong with that, whether your level is 1000 or 1700, you won't make any money with your game so if you enjoy being a "hack" that is perfectly fine...

I also read a report that annett kaufmann also scores very high on spin measurements. However I think on average women hit flatter. We see that in tennis too. This is kinda logical when you think about it. Spin and speed is a zero sum game, batspeed of the player is either going into...

It is true that size and muscular strength is not needed so much but the top guys still have insane agility and reflexes that are also natural physical talent. That being said it is true that tt is a skill sport where you can reach a very high level even with mediocre physical skills. For...

The best way to save money is to stop EJing. Even a 50 bucks setup is expensive when you try a new one every month. Most high level players very rarely change their setup, they pick something and stick with it for a long time.

I'm not using an expensive blade either but when you are not EJing table tennis isn't that expensive anyway compared to other leisure activities. So when you want to buy a 200 dollar butterfly and play it for 5 years it really isn't that expensive. On the other hand when you try a new setup...

Also sealing is not always the same. Some put on some stuff, let in soak in for a minute and then wipe of the excess so that it basically just fills the holes between the fibres. Others put on 3 thick layers of lacquer.

Is it true that dhs made New hurricane and skyline less tacky? Why is that? Those rubbers where super successful and popular for more than a decade.

I respect your level as a player, you are certainly very good but there are plenty of world class players who play with "ESN junk". Or do you think that darko jorgic or quadri Aruna where held back by ESN and would have beaten FZD or ML with better equipment:)?

In case somebody watches it, German TV is showing wheelchair table tennis

I think it depends. If you are very good at counter Looping it might be best if you Flick it. But if you prefer to hit a forehand loop first in the rally it might be good to push back short and get a longer push that you can attack. Or against some players you maybe can push long if they...

Yeah I have seen those hybrid blades with a round head and cork handle. I used to play with a cork mounted to a cpen too, wasn't bad. Does this work with classic jpen shape too? To me playing jpen now is almost like driving a vintage car or fishing a bamboo fly rod. You can have solid...

Do you have a hybrid bat that allows for rpb? Traditional jpen blades don't work for rpb, right?

I would not speculate that matches are fixed but I can see that a young star has more future earning potential than a player who is nearing the end of their career like Chen meng. The only exception to that where you definitely want the old guy to win is when some kind of all time record is...

Right wing conspiracy theories are on the rise in countries all over the World.

I would say if you need to slow down a primorac carbon you are probably not ready to play it.

1. Money Tennis stars are multi millionaires and can afford to pay a stringer. Most table tennis players don't earn that well. Stars like boll or ma long earn good money but nowhere near what tennis players make. Many lower level tennis players up to the semi pro level will string themselves...

I have a fextra too and I don't love it either. I prefer my YSE I guess it has to do with your playing style. If you like to Block and smash and occasionally loop you might like it more than a guy who hits a lot of slow loops.

If Fan wins olympics he needs to send a present to Truls:)

I prefer hook serve. Reverse pendulum might create higher spin and better disguise though, but not sure.
