Which is exactly why you don't use such procedures to select the team.

In other words, Timo Boll was a top ranked player when he was younger. He is now 38. The main reason his ranking is high is that he still plays. If he only played in the German League, he would be like Xiona Shan.

Not sure what the point is. If Iran is fielding an opponent who is unranked, what does that have to do with US Olympic selection policy? Maybe you recommend Kanak should use long pips?

I think most people know this, loopadoop is a minor exception.

Sometimes I wonder whether people who make such statements actually remember that Lily played the trials. The #54 was the current German Champion. The #312 is a Chinese born German national team member who is a short pips penholder and was for many years at the top of European table tennis. She...

I need to play some matches before I play a match. The brain just functions differently in match mode and it is better to be in it before you play than to try to get into it on crucial points. I noticed that after I have played a match, the TTEDGE app seems to slow down. A friend told me that...

If you like spinny pips, then I think Degu is the spinny one. But guy I know who sells it is over 60 and he doesn't like spinny pips he likes pace. But I don't know much about pips I can play with them maybe 200 pts below my inverted rating but you will still tell I am using mostly inverted...

For forehand the guy I know who likes to hit uses Spinlord Waran. For backhand the guys I know use Nittaku Moristo. I really don't know enough to comment on quality and durability. 802 is pretty cheap and flat ball producing and annoying. But people I know preferred the others to it.

Tracking a lob is a pain in the butt. My smashing game is above average but my movement is below average. Smashing is best. But unless a lobber is an all round offensive player, it is always best to start by forcing them to pop up the ball or play close to the table on terms that they do not...

Practice making the ball spin on the floor and on your bed. Practicing at the table makes you focus on the serve which is bad for developing the spinning skills.

Thanks. I did do the hunting after I posted this. I just found it a bit sad that nothing was done to keep us up to date by anyone given the popularity of English players here.

Yeah. I think staying away from the game for a while and getting married has helped me rethink my TT finances lol. My relationship with Batos will evolve. But it is basically a good ALC blade. But Boll ALC is more reliable for me now.

This thread was never updated with results...

Does he have a real forehand counterloop close to the table or even off it? If yes, then what I am saying may not work. If no, then read carefully. Serve with backspin to get a long push. If he isn't offensive on serve return, let the ball drift half long if it makes you comfortable but...

So my blade journey is over. I bought the Nexy Batos but it seems as if Nexy was trying to make a Butterfly Blade for some reason - fat handle, annoying wings and none of the stuff I like about Nexy Blades other than looking pretty. I played with it and liked how it felt (it was surprisingly...

Well, I had done a few slower but there are a couple of things, the main one was that I know my training partner blocks well and I wanted to play some game speed strokes because my practice ball arcs a lot and sometimes makes me look like I just practice weak balls so I wanted to flatten the arc...

Was that a sudden death game? Interesting rules...

Yang is a cutie who plays great TT. Her mother was main coach.

Yeah, any news on Yang Haeun? I don't think Der Echte will agree that everything is okay without her.

IT doesn't have to perfect. Don't care about the sound or all that stuff. It will get better with time and who knows, someone might volunteer to help you with stuff and then it gets easier.
