  1. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    Yes, and given the nature of TT, if a blade is special, it is rarely about how it plays and more about how the player using it feels about it.
  2. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    If people can specify *exactly* what makes the blade not commercially avaliable, I am okay with that especially if they can explain why that is something yhat they think should be commerically available.. What I am against is the claim that just because a pro is using it, and he didn't go to q...
  3. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    Zeio isn't my best friend so I will let him habdle this one. I have enough issues where I have to override him later since he doesn't respond to PMs lol. Nah, its an intergalactic blade, Ai Fukuhara ordered it. So it must contain magical properties. Definitely not a custom blade like any...
  4. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    So what is the special thickness and how does it compare to the regular model? BTW, I would like to order 5 Gergerlys . If you can share a link to that, I would appreciate it as well. Unfortunately, it is zeio's thread, and I do like the persistence of the believers.
  5. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    Let me humor you a bit - what do you know about the racket that makes it special other than that a player ordered it?
  6. Interview with Chris Doran by Howard

    Enjoyed it a lot. Chris has a disruptive playing style and is a lot of fun to watch. Those of use who complain about being unable to do this or thr can learn quite a bit from him even if we dont have his athletic ability or stellar game reading skills.

    That's an illusion, stuff bothers me a lot. In fact, I can find recent matches on video with bad losses where I am visibly annoyed. But I do understand your broad drift. My position is that ultimately, if you have trained/prepared, you are expressing your training/preparation. I lost and...
  8. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    The thing is that with age and arthritis, I never really go all out. Everything is within a box, so to speak. Even my windmill loops are not what they used to be. IT will be interesting for sure. But that even relative peers were hitting the ball harder is interesting - they struggle with...

    How any of you picked Tom to win after seeing the way Beast figured out how to cream the ball, I do not know lol... the editing must have left out important details...
  11. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    When I worked on my forehand, I didn't play tournaments for at least 4 months. And my situation wasn't special, it is normal for pros who have a result they want to achieve and something they need to change, they do significant special training without taking any match results serious, Some...
  12. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Even a paid coach won't watch all the footage, they will watch two to three minutes of footage as the issues they will note will be found in almost all of it, we don't magically make our issues go away from point to point. And unless we are using short takes/sessions to change based on...

  14. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    The ball that makes someone uncomfortable might not be the one you are producing, even when you think it is. In fact, sometimes, you ball might be exactly the ball the opponent likes lol. Some people are also fitter and stronger than other people, the most important thing is that you gave a...

    So Spinsight has given me a new appreciation for my game so far even though I have only used it twice. It has helped me see that my forehand and backhand are almost equal in quality, as crazy as it sounds, and that is my superpower more than anything else. Some may say it means my forehand is...
  16. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    @Takkyu_wa_inochi said a few important things that it is easy to miss. Hopefully, he will go into details of what he had to do to give @Zezima a template. But the guidance of the coach is probably too important in the process for it to be easily replicated.
  17. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    You can continue to work on your forehand for sure. The main point to remember based on my experience is that if you are focused on technical improvement, forget about your results. Takkyu has the experience and told you the same thing. I have the experience and I have told you the same thing...
  18. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Its more likely that the kid had an old rating and was better than Zezima thought. Regaedless though, Zezima got a game. But as you pointed out, Zezima only knows the story that was presented to him without all thr glossy details. Zezima is putting in work yhat often frustrates you if you are...

    I understand your point but there are people her age who would still play for China if given a chance to compete for Olympic spots (Chen Meng). How everyone handles and responds to stress is an individual thing. Being able to play and compete for China when you think you still have it is not.
