    Okay! If I don't manage to see you at a tournament within a year, I'm making it a point to come to d.c.! I have a tendency to force people to going in visiting mode ;) so I'm sure I'll end up holding a good impression of you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What club do you play at? I really want to play you someday and need to mark your location on my map. Your personality would make playing a blast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Equipment Recommendation - Are you ready for a challenge ????

    With the update a blade to match that style. I'd go for a clipper blade with mx-P rubbers again not max thickness. Mxp is has a hard sponge and will match with the described style well. However is may make improving a bit more difficult. So I have a second rubber recommendation. El-P It feels...
  4. At the moment, who do you consider greater: Ma Long or Zhang Jike?

    When asking the question of "at the moment" who is better, I can only look at their most recent match and health situations. If I have a bad back and play worse, losing to a person I've never lost to, that person is better "at the moment". No exception, the player who outperforms the other...

    @Maloxu82 Hey bud. You said you changed rubbers and only used them once, 3 months ago. You have to use them more to get used to them. The rubber isn't going to be the same as your old one so you'll have to adjust your stroke in some way. Everyone's strokes are different so you have to figure...

    I like to use this thread to ask any question that comes to mind or topic that comes to mind. I don't like making new threads for all the topics I want to hear discussed or questions I want answered. The thread title and how others have treated the thread lead me to believe this is a good...

    How did you pick your first raquet decent setup? I remember googling "top table tennis paddles" and found paddle palace. I ended up getting an appelgreen allplay with mark V on both sides because their website had good reviews and it wasn't too expensive for the funds I had at the time. I...

    He's also a professional player that had coaching. guidance. My example is of a beginner. Not only that, but with the power he gets on his strokes from his grip alone, playing with faster equipment and developing that aggressive of a game from a beginner would be really tough. He was known for...
  9. How does your mental attitude influence your game?

    in practice I'm focused on my form. Changing it, fixing problems, learning strokes, getting those strokes to the level of the rest of my strokes. If I'm hitting well in games. I just let my mind free and let my game come out, I focus on very little in a rally. Just let all I've trained for do...

    The average player doesn't go to the forums or have an understanding of what they're purchasing. A person that wants to be a looper and loop fast may go for some fast setups. Now purchasing a fast setup and thinking they can do something with it, they'll practice that thing with the paddle and...
  11. Equipment Recommendation - Are you ready for a challenge ????

    Video play is best to help because we may be imagining him differently than he is. From what I can see in your writing, the chinese rubbers have a lot of control so he's able to punch block frequently which would be a lot more difficult to do with a spin sensative rubber. the counter attack with...

    @carl Thank you for clarifying where I misinterpreted (as I often jump the gun without reading into responses thoroughly), it's been at least a week since I've done that, must be a record for me. He really is avoiding the question, I guess it makes you wonder even more so why he's only...
  13. Tenergy price gone up??

    Pain in butt to boost all the time. I hated boosting because of how much it weighed down my setup too. Constantly changing playing characteristics of your setup is counter intuitive while learning. I still liked t05 over super boosted "provincial" h3. If you're ever out of place tenergy doesn't...
  14. Bandage Scissors for cutting your rubbers

    I've tried one similar. I use one thinner. I don't like either of the ones in your photo because of how thick they are. More of the blade going through the rubber increases surface tension. Everyone likes things differently and we learn from experience. You can probably cut damn well with what...

    Any of you change your style when you change equipment? Let me clarify. Do you: Make your changed equipment fit into your style you've already been playing with? Or Make your style fit your new equipment. Or is it a mix of the two Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Need Setup Bat Under 185 gr

    Lighter paddles have up sides as well as downsides. Some peoples play styles work better with a lighter paddle. I don't think you can just say a heavier paddle is best. The rule of thumb should actually be, "the heaviest weight that you can comfortably play with is best. " So many players...
  17. Bandage Scissors for cutting your rubbers

    I repeatedly dip the xacto blades in water as I cut the rubber. Less surface tension, that's also why oil works well.
  18. Bandage Scissors for cutting your rubbers

    I need to use a thinner xacto knife, the heavy duty ones give me less control and my rubber looks like no sense with those. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gumming and coating are not a term I've heard of. What is that? If the explanation is too long is there a link to an explanation Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
