  1. Tactics when your loop gets chopblocked

    Not super advanced but maybe play to the other with where he doesn't chop with?
  2. Short pips for BH topspin (philosophising:D)

    Yeah, maybe a slower inverted with a 1.7-1.8 mm sponge.
  3. chinese or hybrid rubbers for jpen?

    I think a disadvantage of Chinese rubber for JPen ist that the game is forehand dominant but you are still doing quite a bit of blocking and flat hitting with the TBP and tacky rubber is much better for Looping than flat hitting and blocking.
  4. Eugene vs 2200 player

    In Germany you only really have to pay a monthly Club fee of maybe 10 bucks or so. Adult players usually train more by themselves (unless they play a high league) but youth players get free group training like twice a week. You do that for 2-3 years or so and when you are good enough you can...
  5. Influence of the blade weight (same blade)

    What creates different weights of the same model? Is it inconsistency of thickness of the wood plies? Or inconsistencies in head size of the bat? Different amounts of glue? Or different densities of the wood? The number of plies at least should be the same:).
  6. What do you call this?

    Yeah of course there are a lot of 2000+ players in absolute numbers, but I would still guess like 90% of all players never reach 2000+. I was just saying that many think that using LPs makes a bad player good and I just don't think that that is true. Now I also believe the He and Ni couldn't...
  7. What do you call this?

    I think that pips enable some players to be good who wouldn't be elite longer than they would be otherwise (ni xia Liang, he zhi wen) but the very vast majority of LP players is like under 1500 in level. The number of pips players who can beat experienced and good inverted players of 2000+ is...
  8. FZD - will he be the next Wang Hao?

    After his crushing defeat against WCQ in the finals I wonder if fzd will face the same fate at wang hao of never winning Olympic games. I know there careers are not totally the same as FZD already has one more world championship title than wang hao who only had one but it seems like he has...
  9. I am looking for that 'effortless forehand topspin mechanics' tip

    I don't think there is a quick tip for playing effortless. You need to learn the basics and slowly fine tune it so that the Transfer from link to link gets smoother over time. Regarding only being able to hit the ball with the arm in matches: it can be a lack of fundamentals but it also happens...
  10. What is difference between Chinese and European loop

    I think in short it is Chinese: -long swing -straight arm -power oriented European: -compact swing -bent arm -spin over power However I think with the younger generation it is converging together a little. Younger guys like jorgic tend to be more semi straight (120 degrees) rather than fully...
  11. What FH rubber to choose? (pen)

    What hardness did you try?
  12. What FH rubber to choose? (pen)

    Why not hurricane 3 neo?
  13. What should I learn first and how do I proceed?

    I wonder why all those guys hit it like that? There must be a reason as they are the best ph players in the world but to me it feels much easier with bat pointing slightly down. What is the disadvantage?
  14. What should I learn first and how do I proceed?

    Have you tried pointing the bat slightly down? I found it makes it easier to open the racket and block or even flat counter hit with rpb. https://streamable.com/qi9j1f
  15. What should I learn first and how do I proceed?

    I also learned rbp first. If you watch lebrun he even uses an rpb push on the BH side so he plays everything to his BH with the red side. I'm using tpb push though on the BH side. I think getting good at pushing is important. At the pro level now opening up is not as big of an advantage as...
  16. Affordable robots? Worth it?

    I have the tibhar junior pro. It is like 230-250 bucks. I think it is decent, reviews are better than the Joola 300 but it can't do sidespin, serve and programmable sequences.
  17. Why do I need to remove old glue from the rubber's sponge?

    You don't. Only remove when there are like clumps who would make the rubber uneven
  18. Recommendations for CPEN blade

    What I like is to shave a little hole on the backside where my big index finger knuckle sits. Makes it comfortable and a bit easier to open blade a little more for rpb and close for forehand
