I think it is a mix. When you are successful people start to study your game very well and find your weaknesses while an average player will not be studied as much. Thus it is harder to stay at the top than getting there, you always have to reinvent yourself and react to the opponent strategies...

Quadri Aruna played with a green rubber at the worlds. Not sure which rubber but since Aruna is a world class player it probably is a pretty decent rubber

Often a time out is not to play better but to make the opponent think a little when he has a run. Sometimes a player is just in the zone and everything is automatic and sometimes having some time to think about that success can bring you out of that zone and make you nervous. Obviously this...

I agree with the last post, I think you can't compare domestic prices in China with export prices. TT 11 seems to be cheaper Than aliexpress for example but not by much, I haven't seen china TT stuff cheaper in Europe than at tt11 but still the export does cost some money (customs...

If you play competition you have to use water based glue by the rulebook. ​​​​​

I agree. Close table attack with both wings and backhand flick is important but if you watch ma long he can do that but also hit a slow loop or play behind the table. But if you watch the women they will basically only play close table fast shots, there is less variation with them

I think that is a myth, I know many guys who play ESN rubbers for 4-5 months. They will probably lose a little but so will every other rubber, pros even switch dignics very frequently

I agree. Playing closer to table, more loop drive than slow spin and using Banana flip to open instead of push. Harimoto is probably the prototype of this. Timo also adjusted his game that way, albeit of course not as extreme as harimoto, he now plays closer to the table and less spinny loops...

I read tibhar mx-d is rather similar to t05 but have not tried it

Use a protection sheet and Clean with water and it should should hold a long time

What is power simulator? Are you talking on downhill skiing technique?

Can you shoot a Foto of your hand gripping the bat and upload it here (Foto of both sides of rubber) ​​​​​​? Maybe we see a mistake ​​ Also maybe this video helps https://youtu.be/Abk-bK3bnkw

I guess if you wait two or 3 months there will be a lot of people who have tried and didn't like it and willing to sell for a lower price or in a trade

I think sometimes it protects the rubber from peeling off the blade if you scratch the table on a low push. If you hit the edge of the table hard or throw the bat like truls it still can get damaged. Obviously for Pro players cost is not an issue so they don't care much about protection...

I think he is really talented. Of course he also got a bit lucky to not face a Chinese and an injured Timo boll in the semi finals but he is 19 and probably still will get better.

Money All went into nukes and Dennis Rodman :)

I think it is due to a lack of skill which is perfectly normal after 4 months of play. Those ready made racket that you can buy like in a regular sports store (like decathlon or maybe real if you are in Germany) are usually easy to handle, their rubbers are not very grippy or bounce and they...

I think the actual reason for it was saving money and not reinventing the sport. Maybe not at the world cup level but at least in the Wtt that angle has the advantage that you can basically use a Stationary Webcam and you don't need a camera man moving around the camera and zooming in and out...

I found some of the analogies and drills pretty interesting, especially the rubber band for backhand ​​​​​​ ​

19 times north Korean national table tennis champion Kim Jong Un. It is said that he only ever lost one table tennis match in his career but tragically his opponent had a fatal car accident the night after and since nobody ever beat Kim again:)
