Does rbp with short pips Work? I thought it would be tough because it is harder to open the blade with rpb.

I think in the past not playing so much internationally has been part of the plan, assuming there is strong enough competition and also not giving other countries a chance to get used to their play. It hasn't been like that for quite some time but in the past China had been guys coming up like...

I think timo also mentioned somewhere that he doesn't use those slow loops as much as he used to and now hits more close to table fast loops.

Made a new video. Tried to use more upper body forward rotation and forearm snap and less upper arm. Is that better? I will also try to film a match next week https://youtube.com/shorts/pVLz5Ppc2I4?feature=share

I think what is defined as a loop is kinda a bit arbitrary. Really any topspin shot will have some component of rotation and translation of the ball (otherwise the ball would just spin in place and not move forward at all, so a "pure brush" isnt really be possible or it would never move forward...

What is 80-40? Is that a short pip?

I think the World is catching up somewhat but except for ma long most of those Chinese players are more third string than second string players. The guy who lost (except for ma long are ranked in the 9-12 range in china). Of course the 10th best player in China is still excellent but the true...

There is an anti player in the bundesliga, his name is luka mladenovic https://youtu.be/PhuJ0Vq7MS8 He is struggling there this year (3 wins 11 losses) but still impressive to even get selected to play there with that style

I think he is demonstrating a special variation of his loop to generate maximum spin. Here he is demonstration a more standard version of a loop https://youtu.be/_AuDat6wb5Y

A Sponsored pro wouldn't care much about that, wouldn't he? Maybe weight is an issue?

Ni Xia lian is almost 60 and plays penhold twiddling between long pip and short pip and still is ranked like top50 in the world occasionally even still beating top20 players. So that seems to be a style that can work at an older age but then again that is a very exotic style and I don't think...

Have any non jpen pro players have ever used one ply blades in the last 30 years? I'm sure some of the jpen players used it but have one ply blade ever been used by SH pro players?

Timo is the king of that, he will just smile when you make a good shot even in a Championship Match. If he can do it when his income and titles hinges on it we should be able to do it when we play for fun:). But easier said than done of course.

Great match. Truls is of course more athletic at this point but Timo is still excellent too at 41. Last season he was,struggling a bit with injuries but the last 2 months or so he has been in great shape again considering his age getting wins against lin Yun ju and lin gaoyuan.

Some long Pips guys also play closer to the table and do more of a blocking style closer to the table with the long pip. Maybe that would work better at an older age?

I think that is the point. Pros can loop with a hard blade and hard sponge because they are extremely precise in their motions as they are highly talented, have great technique and footwork and play 30 hours a week (match plus training). Lower level players will have more variability in their...

What is the reason for this move? Why jump outside with the right foot after contact? Wouldn't that make recovery harder?

Thanks. So should I generally stand farther away from table against topspin than against backspin? How far back should I stand?

First time hitting after like 10 days of Christmas break. Hit against loop and focused on hitting the ball more at the tip of the triangle and also more towards the end of the swing. Felt ball quality and speed was quite a bit better https://youtube.com/shorts/5y1vQK2Aq3E?feature=share ​​​​​...
