I try to change as infrequently as I can. Before I changed once a year. This year I changed every 6 months, while others around me that practice less than me have changed their rubbers three times since I last changed mine lol.. partly because they EJ. It's going to be interesting to see how...

Looking back I should probably have used slightly thinner rubbers over the last couple of years. Right now I'm using T05 2.1 and rakza 7 for my BH in 2.0. I'm getting new sheets tomorrow and tempted to go for max on rakza 7 but if I'm really honest with myself I wouldn't utilize the max...

Thanks for the translation. LGL is as per usual speaking wisely.

I think it depends on what someone means by "genius". Waldners style of play simply isn't possible in the current stage of TT. At least not if you're aiming to be the best in the world. In my eyes Koki Niwa is a similar "genius" if you're comparing to the Waldner style of play. Then I think Niwa...

Hey Der_Echte, I recommend you get the train over to Sweden (which would take 20-30 min) and then there are a couple of clubs you could visit, one is Malmö IF where I and another forum member (Nicky Franck) plays. There is also Lund which isn't far from Malmö, which would probably have more...

This is a misconception, I think it has more to do with transference of weight, which the foot stomp assists with on the serve. Agreed with your other points, even though I don't like choing myself. The way Harimoto cho's however I think is respectful and everyone says how respectful Harimoto is...

Not sure I agree with you here. They're both very impressive in different ways. I've now watched FZD live a couple of times and he is one of the most impressive players I've ever seen. His power is out of this world. What many people seem to think is that he's a generic player, I can sort of...

He's still number 1 in my eyes and will be for quite a while. The most dominant, accomplished and complete player of this era. Seriously, who cares about the official ranking, lets instead watch the quality table tennis that a player like Ma Long can produce and has produced. It will however be...

11-9 to Dan!

Do you know what he's changing with his FH? What was wrong with it before?

She seems to be a good mental coach.. but she doesn't seem to give any actual practical advice, I'd prefer to hear, or would like to hear that too that if I were Liam.

Of course Ma Long had a bad day, he's still a better player than Liam (obviously), but just not on that day. This is not to say that Liam wasn't playing extremely well, which he was. We've all known for a long time that Liam has the capability of beating top players, so this shouldn't really be...

I agree with you and my last sentence wasn't properly thought out. I thought younger gymnasts would have a physiological advantage due to the nature of the sport. But I'm not an expert on gymnastics, more throwing it out there as an area of discussion. Perhaps Harimoto has a physiological...

I think we have to place chess, e-sports or anything similar to those in a different category of sport than table tennis, football etc. Well it's a different kind of sport, they're clearly different. In chess you don't use your muscles (other than lifting those chess pieces) This doesn't mean...

It's a matter of lots of little things, isn't it. The intuition comes from the practice and of course the support he's had from his parents, his experience from playing etc. It all adds up. There was little doubt in my mind from when he beat Jens Lundqvist that he had massive potential. If I'm...

This is true. I felt that this was also Kristians weakness as he is sometimes too eager to get in and likes to play shots which have a very small margin for error. Jörgen Persson pointed this out too when commentating the swedish matches on tv (brilliant commentator btw). I thought FZD's match...

Agreed on all points and I've seen that commentary :). I haven't seen the match against Geraldo yet, I'll have to check it to see what happened there. Of course he has his flaws and I know he's not some unstoppable player by any means. I think you misunderstood what I meant by impressive. He...

Having now seen FZD for real there’s no doubt that he’s the most impressive player I’ve seen. The amount of power he can generate on both wings, how he moves so quickly to each ball and is able to place it almost perfectly each time. He made Filus look like a beginner even though he’s a world...
