Yeah. But what he did to deserve it was serious so I do not entirely mind and he did have a good Olympics regardless as round of 16 is still easily a record for US men's singles.

Fast pushes to the backhand, develop your ability to squat and use a very fast finger oriented brush and do not crowd the table. Ideally you want to take the ball in front of you but if you crowd the table because you are used to slower pushes, you will juat be jammed. As you face better...

Kanak beats both Franziska and Jorgic to lead his team over Saarbrucken!

Well I juat got the x-ray but no interpretation. I am in good spirits all things considered, I have been playing more table tennis than even on some of my most TT driven periods ans I have been doing it at a more athletic level than I typically did even with my limitations. So I interprete...

The headliner is that I sprained and likely fractured my right foot chasing the ball while wearing my drippiest table tennis shoes for the first time in months on the grippy floors at Austin. I was playing warm up table tennis matches (well warm up in description but really matches for bragging...

At a certain point, adjust to spin really comes down to adjusting to the amount of power on the ball and taking the ball later or earlier with good timing. Most powerful and spinny half long sidespin serves can be returned by letting the ball kick and then looping it after it has kicked.

Haha, maybe. Man makes the money, money never makes the man.

@Gozo Aruna, I know you are joking to give us a fuller picture but even if this is not for you, please stop this desire not to show supposedly embarassing scores or moments. Most of the people who will watch and comment on the videos will not focus on the score but the quality of play within...

As an adult learner, you can and should work on your technique and practice anything you enjoy. It is good to work with high level players and coaches and get their insights and see what you can implement. IMHO, a lot of the stuff that kids learn later like finger use and wrist subtleties...

Not all uncut rubbers are the same size. Dignics series other than 09c is pretty light.

So I am preparing for another event this weekend. I worked with my coach on some things. We are trying to shorten my stroke. One of the interesting things that came up was my Karate follow through (heel coming off the ground) on some of my forehand strokes. He said he wanted the weight...

The Sardius because of its oversized head shape is IMHO a notch more controllable than the name and rep might advertise. Despite the technical differences, I would still go with the Carbospeed, but in the end, these are all personal choices and individual blades do have differences.

My coach is trying to do the opposite in theory but not really. I haven't seen you play, but I am surprised if the issue is the size of your arm usage. Moreover, even a straight arm loop requires forearm snap AFAIK. That said, my coach has been trying to teach me to shorten my backswing with...

Don't know about durability but it is pretty much the same with imperceptibly less spin and more speed, the blocks and counters are a bit more forgiving.

Primorac Carbon All of the above are reasonable, I would start with the Carbospeed.

I think the better option is actually to switch to D80 which blocks better but that is just me.

There is a point in returning short even if the person doesn't open up well. Quality pushes or attacks off short returns are harder especially for people who do not open up well, the real issue is whether you have the touch to return short with quality. So I would argue that what you are...

And there is also a dependence on how you like to play as well. Because if you take the ball off the bounce, you have less time to get off the table to defend. Easier to wait until the ball has come deep, push long while digging into thr ball and then have more time to get back to defend. That...

Nothing beats the blue sponge boosted. Nothing.

Yes, but the JTTA is too short sighted, the big picture is that China struggles vs pips and defense so they need to use the defenders while China still has this issue.
