  1. Dignics 09c vs DHS Hurricane 3 Blue versions

    That is how I feel about H3 as well, though the Blue Sponge gives you a little extra spin. And I don't boost.
  2. Dignics 09c vs DHS Hurricane 3 Blue versions

    Everyone does this differently, we likely have to see him hit the ball to see what he really means and whether we agree with him or not.
  3. Heming Hu on Equipment

    Yes, I agree, cheap traditional setups are okay for adults that have no desire to train. But this is true in just about any serious sport, high quality equipment has to be mastered and does not make the player. If you aren't putting in the work, equipment doesn't really matter. If you are...
  4. Dignics 09c vs DHS Hurricane 3 Blue versions

    @greenbeanmachine, Pip configurations, topsheet material which influences elasticity and grip as well as pip configuration harmonizing wirh sponge, sponge hardness, sponge compressibility/elasticity all work together to give a rubber its playing characteristics. What a rubber does varies...
  5. What the H3LL did I get myself into this time....

    Yeah, such matches don't teach you much. That Tony managed to even notice you hit your backhand to the middle of the table which means you aren't catching the left side of the ball is why he is a serious coach and I play one on the internet. Obviously you aren't going to become a very physical...

    I see it here: https://www.prott.vip/Product-Details.aspx?productcode=TG2PRO Are they reliable?
  7. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    So I managed to go to a club today to hit for a bit. Thankfully. there was someone to hit with so I hit for an hour. On my other paddle, I had replaced the Skyline 3 with Dignics 05 as well and wanted to try whether I could play well with the H3 BS combo and Dignics 05 (I played Skyline 2 and...

    When you no longer trust your equipment, it is a good idea to renew it.
  9. SQST squared straight handle

    Can't agree, but everyone's taste is different.
  10. Deng Yaping visits Chinese National Team Paris Olympics Closed Training

    There is clearly some editing but the woman looks a beast that could still dominate players in the top 50 today.
  11. South Korea’s players for Paris

    It really wasn't anything specific to nationality, it was just the original comment made it sound like the problem was Europeans, not the ranking of such players he faced at the feeder vs Cho Daesong's true strength. He is likely top 20, there is nothing surprising about him winning feeders...
  12. What the H3LL did I get myself into this time....

    You played reasonably well then. Posting only the highlights you like is a personal choice. I am pointing out though that such image conservation doesn't really have value for improving your game in my experience. I am saying that it isn't obvious you did but that it doesn't matter when you...
  13. What the H3LL did I get myself into this time....

    IMHO, being embarrassed by your play against a player 500+ points above you (likely closer to and possibly over 1000 points) is a waste of time. If you got more than 3 points in any game that was an achievement. There are things I like about your stroke form (your elbow stabiliry still looks...
  14. Heming Hu on Equipment

    The key is the coaching. Ultimately, if the player isn't bring tested with the right experiences and isn't adapting to their equipment, it won't matter. But people often focus on what happens at the start of the process and not on what happens over time. I am an adult learner and started...
  15. WTT CONTENDER LAGOS 2024

    Dima completes the job as expected.
  16. Heming Hu on Equipment

    So I have had this discussion or something like it in various contexts with many people. While some might consider this a "strawman" argument, let's remember that there was a time when backhand topspin/looping was considered a stroke for advanced players and wasn't really taught learners to...
  17. South Korea’s players for Paris

    I was wrong - please see my correction.
  18. South Korea’s players for Paris

    The interesting thing for me at least is that Jang Woojin and Lim Junghoon might play doubles with Cho Daesong playing the double singles role in Teams. This would make Korea pretty formidable. When your highest rated player doesn't play the double singles role, that says something special.
  19. South Korea’s players for Paris

    Olympics has no waiting period internationally, any such waiting period is from the national federation, not ITTF. It is more likely that Ma Jinbao is not a citizen, the nation you play for in WTT tournaments is initially the federation that approved your application to the tour event, not...
  20. SQST squared straight handle

    What's wrong with the Innerforce ZLC ST? You should be able to make your own fairly straight handle with Sandpaper from that.
