  1. Is Ai Fukuhara a Villain?

    That's one view. Another is that human beings naturally discuss what is in the public domain. This is true for the wealthy, the leaders, the celebrities. It is part od how a society functions and learns. As for no one being born evil, that is one view of human nature. There are others...
  2. Most controllable Tenergy rubber?

    For me, easily T05H. It was the first Tenergy I could play with and push with and block with like I was using a linear ESN rubber.
  3. Is Ai Fukuhara a Villain?

    @Tony's Table Tennis, Is there any extra color you can give? Thanks in advance.
  4. Is Ai Fukuhara a Villain?

    In reality, these are all related to the popularity of TT and keeping TT related news out of TTD because you do not like the nature of the news is an interesting position. Most people don't care about it hence the thread won't get a lot of responses. But actively campaigning against discussing...

  6. Is Ai Fukuhara a Villain?

    This is true about everything in life, but we need to have good guys and bad guys, lol! And whatever the versions, she was the one that cheated on him. And from what I hear, her mother actually stayed in Taiwan and he has the daughter with him, it is the son that he has been unable to see...
  7. Tibhar AKKAD - New blade Designed by Nexy

    Extended honeymoons do occur amongst a few (fortunate?) couples. When the challenges show up, commitments are truly tested.

    I will believe it when your profile reflects it!
  9. NL & USDC: I'm downgrading...

    Ultimately, the main thing, as you pointed out, is to use something that allows you to develop an advanced spin game. Gozo is still trying to "win" rather than work on his game. He really should bite the bullet and use something that forces him to spin. Even Kristian Karlsson talked about...
  10. NL & USDC: I'm downgrading...

    So if I am reading you accurately, you have been "nagged" and "lectured" online and in person about your equipment choices. The question is why did you persist in not taking the advice and are the in-person advisors happy with your current change? Obviously, I still think what you are using is...
  11. NL & USDC: I'm downgrading...

    I tried this recently, I find I personally struggle with the block of the Korbel, I needed to always put something behind the ball for the racket angles I am used to, which isn't the case with the composites or even the Mazunov. But regardless, it is good to try and experience this for an...
  12. NL & USDC: I'm downgrading...

    That someone managed to get through to him on some level gives me hope. You are absolutely correct. But not everyone is thinking about how thet will play in 2 years time or trusts someone to build out how they will play on 2 years time. People just care about what is happening today. And they...
  13. Spin variation from long pips pushes - how to read?

    @Der_Echte should comment as well if he can, but the first thing to note is that the basic advice on spin reversal works best when your opponent is using OX (no sponge) and even then it is a bit more consistent when there is less friction in the pips and they are not as good for hitting. When...
  14. Next step up from all round evolution

    The truth is that sometimes, the reason why you can't hit basic shots consistently is because you aren't using a carbon blade. What some people use to knock a carbon blade (quick rebound) actually helps some players with worse technique play better if they focus on their range of ball control...
  15. NL & USDC: I'm downgrading...

    It might still be too fast, but honestly, it is a step in the right direction and some people do make it work and tou might be one of them if you have the right approach. The biggest thing is that you have to actively work on spin and ball control with that setup. Not power per se. Do realize...

  17. Backhand smash tips

    Try smashing a mid high topspin ball with your backhand. Especially if the ball has good topspin. Many people who try to replicate the motion that they think works on their forehand side don't swing through a similar path to what they do on their forehand and often hit the ball long. The...
