    Not really, some people like the diversity - I used to try to spin everything, but even with Hurricane, I am doing more flat hits now because the speed and variation can affect some players more than spin.

  3. Forgetting form during games

    Have your coach shout it out to you all the time? I know world class players who have had this problem so you are not alone. Do your best, but don't be too harsh to yourself about it.

    I think it is also because you and I largely hold the table, when you go further back, the ability to get good fast power with short stroke especially if you play flat is more difficult, someone like Quadri could never use sticky on his backhand, he likes to punch and block on backhand a lot and...
  6. Other candidates for GOAT

    Not for me, but his case would obviously be stronger. First real high level RPB in TT and still not quite duplicated. But as I argued elsewhere, as a backhand player on the CNT, he was very unique and a precursor of Zhang Jike and Fan Zhendong.
  7. Other candidates for GOAT

    I find the dismissal of Kong Linghui and Zhang Jike's contributions interesting, especially when players like Timo Boll and Xu Xin are being discussed as if they had major contributions (they really don't). I think Ma Lin has a case but not quite the way you made it, and when you make it...

    In which case then he has to win 3 Olympic Teams and 2 Olympic Singles to catch ML by that standard.
  9. Why does the vast majority of top pros use ALC instead of ZLC?

    It clearly was the 40+ ball, just about everyone using a Korbel or some all wood precious favorite went to something faster or an innerforce with carbon kick - it did begin with the 40mm ball but the 40+ just ended the discussion for many more players - some compromised and stopped at 7 plies...

    Yes, fix it. You hit the ball in the air sometimes if not all the time, but must land on the left foot. Sometimes the left foot crosses the right foot (cross footwork), sometimes it doesn't (semi-cross).

    No apologies, I just don't think to hard about equipment, I like wasting money on it and having an opinion on it, but I know that most of the playing level I want to get to is based on skills so equipment is usually an experiment in curiosity. I just have never really enjoyed playing with...

    I really do not understand what you are talking about :D... like I said, it might not be best for me, but I do what I like to do lol. I did buy a 38 degree OS and a 41 degree BS for a test one day but I haven't decided when to finalize and put on a blade.

    I don't back off the table and I have become too addicted to stickiness to play without it unless I am forced to. Backhand topspin is also a level-relative strength, probably nothing special to a pro, but for a player at my level, most people are pushing when I am spinning.
  14. Why does the vast majority of top pros use ALC instead of ZLC?

    Most pros can also generate their own spin though - a lot comes to what you just like.

    If I used 37 degree sponge and I boosted it, I would probably hate the result. Just buy Rakza Z instead and call it a day if that is what you want to do.

  17. Why does the vast majority of top pros use ALC instead of ZLC?

    ZLC is for plastic ball, ALC is for celluloid ball. Just kidding...

    Just reach out to Carl - that said, this is a TT Forum, we stay safer as a TT forum when we stick to TT and avoid politics though that is hard when politics is a part of international life and TT is an international sport in the deepest way.
  19. Side spin theory

    Reverse pendulum and attacking with the forehand is more common than you realize, unless you mean reverse pendulum and like to pivot when the ball comes to the backhand, that is pretty rare if the serve is into the forehand, but also not that uncommon if the serve is into the backhand. IF I...
