Probably got lucky:). Does he have another gear in him? He has developed really well but I feel one weakness is his RPB a bit away from the table. He is really good at blocking and attacking at the table but I feel one issue is if he is pushed like 2 meters behind the table his Backhand gets...

Bad can mean different things. It can mean objectively bad manufacturing or bad quality materials used in an "el cheapo" blade. For example like splintering, bad glue between the wood layers and so on. But it can also mean not fitting my playstyle and skill level. I would guess a butterfly...

I'm by no means qualified to help you but one thing to consider would be if an injury still affects the way you move. Does it still hurt and are you maybe working around certain pain spots? If yes consulting a doctor and maybe having a longer break could help.

We only can speculate. Maybe she does have mental issues or wants revenge on him. Or she could be a victim of domestic violence and just try to run away from him. Whatever it is, it sucks for the kids but we shouldn't speculate without knowing all the details.

I do think this is only possible due to her special style and equipment (if she was a two winged away from the table looper kreanga style it probably wouldn't work at her age) but then again thousands of people do play pips and never get better than like 1400 or so. It doesn't make a bad player...

Maybe part of why some ph players took longer to master was that they learned both tpb and rpb? Xu xin took long to improve his rpb but he learned traditional first. On the other hand felix LeBron had a very polished rpb at age 15-16, probably because he only learned rpb and didn't need to learn...

I would guess that carbon jpen isn't big anymore because there aren't many super high Level jpen players anymore. You can of course play a carbon jpen but most people who Still play jpen do it for enjoyment or because it is cool and different (I.e like the hipsters who ride fixed gear bikes:))...

I think technically you can't change the racket angle while the ball is in contact because contact duration is just a few thousands of a second. However sometimes the bat does have the tendency to get more open as you swing so for some it might help to have a feel of the bat closing above the...

Isn't a Badminton smash hit over the head like a tennis serve? When is the ball that high?

I do think it can work but he is probably talking about young, talented kids who spend a lot of time on training. I think for adult beginners or kids who only train 2-3 hours a week it isn't ideal. That being said I think there is a trend of starting with thicker rubbers. I listened to a...

I think the mens game goes into that direction too. Mens game kinda is still more forehand dominant but less so than 20 years ago. Reason might be that forehands usually are a bit stronger than backhands so usually you hit to the opponents backhand and since the pace is high and you play close...

I don't think he is an actual officer. In Germany there athletes who are hired by the police or military (bundeswehr) to be a pro athlete. Technically they are hired there and they will do some training in their job, some of them then become regular soldiers or policemen after their career but...

Usually not unless it hit the edge or maybe when it was a bad outdoor table and hit a rough spot on the table and thus had a bad bounce.

I would guess it does some but 90% is the player. So maybe the right paddle can turn a 2000 points guy into a 2050 points guy but it won't turn a 1200 guy into an 1800 guy.

The difference is that in tennis you don't represent your country but yourself and your sponsor. There are no national anthems played in tennis and players don't compete in national team jerseys, they play in Nike or addidas jerseys. In tennis events where players play for their national team...

I don't buy at all than han Ying has a net worth of 7.6M unless she married a rich dude. No way she made that much in table tennis or endorsements.

I agree. There are guys who like to debate but many are beginners who want some advice and after some time they either have found their setup or maybe have quit the sport.

Isn't their uncle the Boss of butterfly in france or something like that?

I don't think that 30 m/s is anywhere near realistic and 20 might be a stretch too for most amateur players. Baseball pitchers Wind up like crazy and have a super long motion, not comparable to a table tennis stroke. Couple years ago did a speed test with different rackets and was getting up...

Some people just want to use butterfly. Are there other similar quality rubbers for the same or less money? Probably yes but some people just want to use butterfly but like some people just want to drive a Porsche. It think it was pretty smart by butterfly to add a rubber to the lower to medium...
