  1. Should Ruwen Filus be penalised and suspended?!

    Spoken like a professional racket thrower.
  2. Most bizarre table tennis match ever?

    Here is the loss to CCY.
  3. Most bizarre table tennis match ever?

    Guys, let's remember that Noshad beat Lin Gaoyuan last year playing this style at the Asian Cup (not many highlight videos so people are not aware) and he has always been pretty backhand dominant even if not this extreme (he beat Wang Liqin in 2012). The problem is that the backhand is an...
  4. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    For people who wondered what I meant, watch this match, especially the 4th game.
  5. Most bizarre table tennis match ever?

    Not bizarre. Amazing. The 4th game in it's own way is the most amazing display of TT I have ever seen
  6. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Watching Noshad Alamiyan play, I sometimes feel like I am on drugs.

    I have heard from multiple sources (never seen him play in person) that Freitas hits the ball the hardest in practice halls and that when you see him practice, you feel fairly confident he is going to win the tournament. Which to me is almost completely at odds with his spin-orientation in...

    It might not be obvious but I suspect part of the reason NDH is asking the question is that there is a massive disconnect between your ball quality in practice and the players ratings you are losing to. Maybe it is just you getting back into the game, or maybe it is the infamous (even if...

    Would really like to see you play some day in a video or better irl.
  10. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    This is a bit long, but it is really good for players who haven't taken seriously the need to build their style around weapons and what they practice.
  11. I lost my spark for playing TT

    I never said my position was a fact, I said it not just merely an opinion, just like saying that beginners should not use fast blades is not merely an opinion. But saying that because something is not scientifically provable that it is merely an opinion is wrong. You seem to agree, but cannot...
  12. I lost my spark for playing TT

    Oh, I wrote a long time that I agreed to disagree, it's just that sometimes what I write goes over your head, It was when you stated that my analogy was wrong and I said, okay, maybe you may have something interesting to say since you won awards for teaching. But if the best you can do is...
  13. I lost my spark for playing TT

    Okay, the first thing is that you said I don't have a scientific proof for it and that therefore it was my opinion. My point is that even saying that taking life away from living things is bad cannot be proven scientifically. This is well known. So asking for a scientific argument why...
  14. I lost my spark for playing TT

    Since you are so convinced the murder analogy is wrong, can you explain what is wrong with it? Science is agnostic to ends - "good" and "bad" require evaluation vs rules or goals. Therefore, science has nothing to say on morality other than whether ends are achievable or not achievable - it...
  15. Backhand rubbers? Is d09c too much for a beginner-intermediate player?

    That makes sense, I guess it comes down to style. There was this medium pips penholder that sometimes used short pips, he was a nightmare if his blocks were on as you would always make the first shot but he would make the first block and the ball would come back so loaded that if you couldn't...
  16. Backhand rubbers? Is d09c too much for a beginner-intermediate player?

    It was playing against the pips that kept me coming back to wood blades, that was why I asked. Maybe if I had a better forehand back then, it wouldn't have mattered as much.
  17. Rubber Recommendations

    For some reason, people never mention Golden Tango, and Golden Tango is definitely a top 3 amongst them IMHO.
  18. Backhand rubbers? Is d09c too much for a beginner-intermediate player?

    Getting the balance right is difficult, but if you started learning late, it is easier if you want to be consistent to focus on spin. Then you can flatten out the ball more if you are able to. be consistent doing so either by getting thicker contact or using faster equipment or some combination...
  19. Backhand rubbers? Is d09c too much for a beginner-intermediate player?

    Do you play against a lot of choppers and pips players?
  20. Recent match I played.

    It could have just been zylon or arylate or another composite without carbon.
