  1. Proposed Increase in Net Height!

    why does there have to be a problem for change to happen? There isn't a problem with my computer right now but I still get software updates for it. If an update to this website happens that I don't like I'm not going to yell and rant about it. Change happens, why complain every time it does?
  2. Proposed Increase in Net Height!

    Refer to my first post There's only one downside that I can see to this in the long run. Which is that we our clubs will have to get new nets, and the crossover period for changes is sucky.
  3. Xu Fei, the future of penhold

    how old is he?
  4. Proposed Increase in Net Height!

    I don't think the amount of penholders has to do with what's better or worse at high level with rule changes. It probably depends more on the way their parent's or coach taught them to hold the paddle and they stuck with that as the way to play since they became comfortable playing that way and...
  5. Proposed Increase in Net Height!

    If you're having trouble getting the ball over the higher net, try changing your stroke a bit, you adjust to player's spin in game so making the net a bit higher shouldn't be too tough to adjust to for you either. If you're worried about injuries don't swing so hard... If injuries start...
  6. Proposed Increase in Net Height!

    Net height increase doesn't bother me. The change in ball size made service return easier, extending rallies for me. I think control players will thrive from the change, slow loopers will be happy. Players that prefer the flat hitting kill shots, and players who depend heavily on service to get...
  7. Leaning back in modern over table loop

    Great bumps on a thread I was hoping would be dead. Ill help :) ^^
  8. Stiga Carbonado 45 VS 90

    but the difference between the two is the same. the 45 and 90 just use less carbon with the same construction. it gives it a more wood-like feeling.
  9. Same rubber on both sides for offensive players

    I think it depends on your level. When your playing style on each wing is more linear and you can only do certain strokes on fh and certain ones on your backhand a specific DIFFERENT rubber would help each at the aspect you play in. For example if you loop with your forehand and can only hit...

    It won't be hard for me to get video of him, I'll try to get it within a week. (hopefully this isn't an empty promise that I'll forget about)

    "even penholders with short pips are spinning the ball" I don't know if I believe this is always the case, this player doesn't have a transition stroke and doesn't really seem to spin the ball at all. If the opponent pushes/chops and it's above the net he smashes, that's what he's known for is...
  12. Introduction to my YT Channel

    I've hit with him quite a bit, usually about 10 minutes before we start our sets, I realized how much this helped me too late though. At first I felt honored to even get a match with a high level player like him, so I wouldn't want to warm up for very long and wouldn't want to both asking him if...

    Spin isn't the most important thing out there, I know a 2100 level player who uses less spin than you. He was also only around 1600 level player a year ago. But he's got a fantastic training partner (and spouse) that he can play with every night to improve himself. He's also a short pip...

    I like both grip and rakza X, personally I'd flip those around though and use grip on the FH but I understand you liking a harder forehand rubber since you used h3 neo on the forehand before.
  15. Timo Boll Interview: About 80% of pro's are using illegal rackets

    It was a bit of sarcasm sorry, but tenergy is definitely boosted. I have cut mine, weighed the cut tenergy and then upon removal of the rubber later weighed it again and it weighed the same amount. But this same amount was WITH glue attatched to it. Also the rubber shrinks from it's original...

    Agree with NL on you being on the right track. Something great you do is stay on your toes ready to move after your stroke. It's clear with your light bounces that you're actually prepared for a return on your attack which is good. But I would love to see you on your toes before your stroke too...
  17. Timo Boll Interview: About 80% of pro's are using illegal rackets

    Haha, I like this. My first comment was sarcasm but we've never interacted before so I took your helpful post and continued with the satire. Sorry if I came across as a troll or just ignorant =]

    I'm pretty sure MOST of these issues are from his robot throwing the ball so high to him. Bending knees is nothing he's ever had to do with the bot. blocking in front of him because the timing of higher balls on the bot is different. and the breaking down against real balls vs the bot's high...
  19. Timo Boll Interview: About 80% of pro's are using illegal rackets

    wait I've looked at the rules being posted so far and it doesn't say the manufacturer can add booster to the products! D:! don't worry I've figured it out! manufacture booster that is applied must wear off immediately once you open the package. The booster they use must be to just keep the...
  20. Timo Boll Interview: About 80% of pro's are using illegal rackets

    Now I understand! If I find out what boosting product butterfly uses then I can boost myself right? And then I won't have to spend 75$ every time I want to play good again!
