  1. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025, Chengdu, 11/30-12/7

    Most of the Australians are young and really good for their level and many of them are children of immigrants from Asian or even European countries with a passion for table tennis. The gap between Australia and the rest of the world will narrow as some of these kids get older and mature since...
  2. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025, Chengdu, 11/30-12/7

    Okay. The stats you just provided, can you please give the context underlying the stats and who the opponents were and what comparable players you would consider good do under similar conditions? "You" didn't mean "Tony". "You" could be anybody including me. That's what I mean when I said...
  3. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025, Chengdu, 11/30-12/7

    Yes/ We have had this debate over using the eye test vs statistics where you have no clue what the quality of the opponents are. But these are the matches I have watched.
  4. Marty Supreme table tennis film

    Here is a review from a movie reviewer I tend to watch: Strong reviews from any sources, currently well over 90% on Rotten Toimatoes: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/marty_supreme I don't think the movie will do much for TT but it will be fun to watch for sure. Or entertaining if not fun...
  5. Coach Xiao Han is so funny

    Here is another channel that gives her a different AI voice lol: https://www.youtube.com/@FreeCoachBradHan Emrathich https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnSKFBegbrmthE8oNU_pwz-ffBLCoTNrI There is even one that claims to be official which I can't find any more - she can make a lot of money...

    To whom it may concern: Google translates this as Chinese Taipei. I have cleaned up the posts related to this contention. Thank you. If any further issues, please take it up in private with the moderation team. Public criticism of moderator decisions prior to privately discussing concerns...
  7. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025, Chengdu, 11/30-12/7

    Lutz is good at doubles. In the end people are still figuring out this format. PoppaChubby was spot on about how confusing it is to pick a team.
  8. Coach Xiao Han is so funny

    There are actually a few others that also use her videos so ia that officially hers? The lady reallly uhderstanda amateur table tennis which is why i like her. She has clearly tried to coach adult amateur players without the right childhood background and worked around their limitations.
  9. Video Footage Safe Thread

    That's fine, the most important thing is to find someone who is willing to work with you, figure out what you are good at and help you build your game around doing it to win points. If you are mostly happy with your level and your limitations, just continue to have fun working on stuff. If...
  10. At what skill level would a hard (48-50 deg and up) FH rubber improve the game?

    It's not that straightforward in my experience and knowing what i do about equipment and what pros use. "Soft" is a dangerous word because 47‐48 is not soft, and sponge hardness is not the same thing as pip configuration and pip configuration conveys hardness as well. If you are speaking about...
  11. What is your killing / signature shot ?

    Backhand topspin vs backspin or no spin cross court. Forehand topspin fake cross court, loop down the line. Backhand and forehand wipe/fade down the line.
  12. 1. Bundesliga Women 2025/2026

    Is there relegation in the league?
  13. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Well there are different approaches and everyone gets better in different ways. I am heavier than yoj are but that is not the point everyone is different. Short pips do not necessarily solve your problem because they have a technique and limitations of their own. At your level and to some...
  14. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    That's chosen one type talent, looks like Japan is stacked. Harimoto better watch his back as he doesn't have forever....
  15. Top Contributors for this month on TTD - award goes to?

    I meant Faraji lol. Sorry for the typo.
  16. Top Contributors for this month on TTD - award goes to?

    No I just am not a fan of your posts. I thought that was why you didn't like my posts either.. you just were not a fan of mine. Gotta go play some TT. Hopefully the discussion in my absence will be enlightening.
  17. Top Contributors for this month on TTD - award goes to?

    I argued on Mytabletennis.net and have been a moderator there for a while. In fact, I know many moderators on various sites who debated a lot of people. But when they became moderators, the first people that take insult are usually those that have exchanged contentious arguments with the...
  18. Top Contributors for this month on TTD - award goes to?

    Tony, I have a lot of evidence you were trying to win. You don't like posts from 2015 if you are not trying to win. You just didnt understand the nuances of the algorithm that I figured out or you would have won easily. It is okay, I find the game silly but sometimes I enjoy playing silly...

    Thanks, @Tony's Table Tennis . You brought this up a couple of months ago and made it a competition. A silly competition but still a competition. I was told that you put in some effort into winning on Saturday. And this is my final month playing the silly game, I decided to put in some...
  20. At what skill level would a hard (48-50 deg and up) FH rubber improve the game?

    I wouldn't call it a skill level so much as looping thr ball.harder consistently and feeling that the rubber is not supporting your technique. I would say that while good players can use soft rubbers at high levels to support certain styles, and lower rated players can get benefit from using...
