  1. New setup syndrome !

    Maybe you just like new rubber? Or you feel good with new equipment and are more confident thinking it's better. Or you could just get excited which gives you bursts of extra energy, wanting to see what the equipment can do you go for more.
  2. Share your Racket's Photo

    I think it was smart of you to buy a used racket to save money. Especially since you're just starting and your style will most likely be changing over time. I also think it's a good paddle because you can do anything you'd like with it, the rubbers aren't too expensive so when you want to...
  3. Guess the rating : the player in black natural shirt towards the camera

    Some say practice can be torture I guess. Conditioning can be torturous, but that chimp powered through and can play better than all other chimps. He is the world champion of his species. Hell... Whatever he went through to get to that level, I'd go through in an instant for the same!

    I use rubber cleaner and sponge, used to use water and hand. I also use protective sheets, and a case. I take my rubber off and reglue every 2-4 WEEKS. The rubber I take off, I boost back to superior life again. Some players are comfortable with their rubbers for longer amounts of time than...

    1400 rating. HA, I missed that one somewhere. When I was watching the shadow strokes I was saw what I was expecting to see from most players 1600+ doing shadow strokes. Then I got to the part where I saw him whip through the air doing the shadow serve part. First thought, was his windup was too...
  8. Control and weight distribution?

    I don't think it makes "wristy" backhand's difficult. If anything it makes them more stable. A headheavy blade is difficult to play close to the table with.

    woah, the service part of your shadow strokes. if you actually go through the ball like that, your serves must be crazy spinny!
  10. Control and weight distribution?

    HA, yea I shouldn't have used the word blade. Sorry ^.^
  11. Control and weight distribution?

    95.8 grams with no rubber.
  12. Control and weight distribution?

    Tenergy both sides, reboosted to life may have weighed it down more. 199.3grams. not exactly 200, but near.
  13. Control and weight distribution?

    My blade is near 200grams, extremely head heavy. Everyone who touches it is immediately turned away. I've gotten used to it, shortened my strokes a ton when I'm close to the table. Just do you, if you like what you're playing with thing's will work out

    When I'm hitting with beginners I tend to fish a lot. Going for fun stuff like snake shots, and long distance backhand loops once I find a ball I really like. Until then I keep giving balls they can attack and have fun with. Playing my "good" shots is often regretted when I realize there's just...

    Wow, thank's Carl, the longer first reply you gave, fantastic. Actually I think that is the best post I've read on this forum, an answer that applied to what I can do to help them that was extremely informative and easy to impliment. I give my triple like of one post per year to that one.
  16. Looking for advice (mainly on equipment)

    Actually I guess the reasoning I choose forehand black is the same as Carl's reason. Only difference is he does it so his opponents won't see his contact as well, I do it so I can see my stroke better. Both were the same visual theory though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Today will be film day. I can feel my form changing in a bad way lately and I need to see it. Now for the question I have for you guys. As some of you may know, I started up a table tennis club at my college. We have a robot, 7 tables and whatnot. I've been appointed to train these players...
  18. Looking for advice (mainly on equipment)

    I always use black in my forehand for a different reason. I too have a strange belief. I imagine that when doing a forehand stroke, in my peripheral vision I can see the back side of my paddle. So I'm thinking subconsciously I may see the angle of my blade easier if it's red opposed to black...

    No problem, it's a beautiful blade and I wish you the best of luck with your sales. Not a lot of sales happen on this forum though so don't set your hopes to high. This forum is really fantastic at helping members improve their games. The place where equipment shines is mytabletennis.net I...
