Yes, she suddenly decided to fight against cheating right at the moment when her opponent had the momentum and was posing a real threat to her chances of winning. Annette’s toss was at a 33 degree angle instead of 30 or less, so down with the cheater, while she herself often hides the ball with...

Yes, you can say that and start growing in your own eyes. But, she could have done that the first time Annette did the illegal serve, If she was bothered by the service. It was clearly about disturbing the opponent, as after that she was wasting time on her service and asking for a different...

She asked for a TTR just when Annette was on fire, only to disturb her rhythm, it was called a fault serve, but it was just 3 degrees off. It wasn’t hidden or thrown too low otherwise.

pretty low move from Xengtong Chen

Sanwei Fextra 5 - maybe not at the level of the Hadraw but it's quite a good blade for the price, It’s also cheap if you just want to test out the same composition https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/sanwei-fextra-5-new-blade.34055/

A lot of beginners make the mistake of trying to win points by simply overpowering their opponents and then switching to a fast setup too early. It is better to first develop solid fundamentals like spin variation, smart placement, and rhythm control. You can see in this forum that some members...

R7 & C1 paired with the PRO01 would already be quite fast and uncontrollable for a beginner, and the cost for 2 rubbers would be around 100$, which I don’t think is what he is looking for. I was more pointing toward learning how to generate speed and spin by relying on proper technique first...

Maybe I’m a bit old school, but I’d personally go with non-tensor or mild tensor classic Euro/JPN rubbers until you’ve developed solid technique for all the basic strokes, pushing, driving, spin, blocking, etc. You’ll get a better feel for the game without the equipment doing too much of the...

Please share your experience with this Tibhar rubber, especially how it compares to YAP. I'm also curious about other antis. On the other hand, as a long-time anti player (YAP), I've been thinking about switching to mid or long pips. With the new plastic balls, I feel like grippy antispins just...

I had another short test session with this rubber, this time on my new Yinhe V-14 Pro. The goal was actually to test the blade, but it might be useful to share a few impressions in case someone finds it helpful. Compared to when I used the rubber on the Nobilis ZLC blade, the performance in...

My friend unfortunately got injured and can’t attend, so if it’s possible to transfer the spot, send me a PM if someone’s interested in taking his place.

Yes, I’ll be there, too. I'm looking forward to it, as Novi Sad is actually my hometown, even though I don’t live there at the moment.

I’ve had the chance to spend more time with this rubber on my FH, paired with my stiff ZLC blade. After a couple of hours of play, it softened up a bit, and my impressions improved compared to the initial experience. For me, it performs much better on a stiff ZLC blade than on the BSS1, which I...

Yes, that definitely helped them a lot, but we can’t say that Team Sweden going to China was what introduced the full-body, power from the ground stroke to Europe. Here’s a video from 1973 showing that this technique was already in use back then, It might look a bit jumpy, but that was 50 years...

I was just curious about why people use this term. When I was a kid, almost 40 years ago, our coach taught us the same thing, using the whole body to generate power in shots. He definitely wasn’t from China, nor did he have YouTube back then to learn about "Power from the ground", we only had...

I’m curious about the origin of the term 'Power from ground/Chinese weight transfer .' Do players from other continents not use body weight transfer, or was this technique first used by Chinese players?

Thanks for the info. Have you had a chance to play with it?

I played half a season with the old BP, and I liked it very much, but what I really missed was the speed. Compared to the old version, how much faster would you say the new one is?

Thanks! I'll probably give it a try, especially since there's a sale on AliExpress, so I can get it for around 30 EUR, which is a good deal. 😊

How reliable is AliExpress when it comes to getting genuine Stiga rubbers? Considering the price, it seems like it could be a fraud. Everywhere else, the price is at least $50 excluding shipping, which really makes me doubtful about it. Do you maybe have any experience with buying Stiga stuff...
