  1. Dignics 05 vs Tenergy 05 Hard

    The notes are quite reasonable. I wouldn't agree on D05, it largely depends on proximity to the table. D09c is definitely the spinniest but also requires the most effort to use. I think most high level rally players who like hard sponge and don't care much for the control will prefer T05H...
  2. Attacking Long Pip Players like Ni Xia Lian and Zhou Xintong... but at the amateur level?!

    I found these thrilling to watch. Is something wrong with me? @Gozo Aruna, please ensure...

    Really bad knees. Sometimes I try but every time, the pain sends me back to square one. Though I am going to keep trying for the next few months as long as I can add some general strength.

    Comments welcome. My only loss from a friendly event on Sunday (did cost me first place though):
  5. I am taking a break from Table Tennis. How far will my skills drop?

    30 days isn't long - 6 months to a year to a few years, that is a different story.

    Use the pips and see how far that gets you... it's not really about the equipment but about the desire to expose yourself to them and learn them... I was looking at some of my old matches against pips players and it helped me realize why I destroyed most of the pips players I played at NA...

    Thanks, it's obvious you posted before reading any of the subsequent comments.

    Oh, I have heard it from many people who have either played or coached against him, thanks for having Waldner on record. Not saying that Kanak is exactly like him in simplicity and transparency (I think Kanak is less transparent), but that someone looking at him might be puzzled that this guy...

    Please don't post video unless you are extremely comfortable with your playing level and a modestly public identity, it takes a strong personality to deal with online trolling. Regardless of sex/gender, but it is much trickier on forums - just the reality of things.

    That wasn't the argument. Kanak's game has elements that are arguably simplistic to an (a naive) observer. It's easy to watch his game (sometimes like Chuang Chi Yuan)and wonder what he does well that makes him so good. His record in the German league is stellar. He was clearly the favorite...

    I watched it live. It was a 0-3 loss and while the second game was close, Dima dominated the match with his power in the third. I guess we can all look at these matches with the color of glasses we prefer. That's the beauty of TT. Probably the first time I have heard someone describe an 0-3...

    He lost 0-3 to Dima in the match I remember. Where is the video of the close loss?

    Not really if he was taller, he would arguably be a worse Calderano. The serves and strokes look repetitive.

    His control of the first attack. It's at a level where if your rally game is not elite, you need to be equally good at playing for the first attack to have a chance.

    Hopefully this will inspire all non-TT-playing wives and girlfriends all over the world to play TT...

    Many matches look like that between players of different levels. Rarely affects the outcome. Can affect a game usually.

    Hagberg is at best 2600, and i think he had injuries as well in recent years. He isnt even good enough to be in the current MLTT. You can have your opinion, but this was never going to be a match with the result in doubt.
  19. 2024 US Open, Las Vegas Dec 16-21

    That was never going to be a match. Still haven't seen a match of Tonin anywhere....

    Yes, I think age is a bigger factor.
