+2. Definitely slower, but for amateurs, not necessarily a bad thing depending on context. It has made table tennis fun for me again.

Which is why I vote for Shibaev. The best forehands are effective against choppers.

Some parents of players said that Bitzigeio contacting them and their children to ask about their game and welfare was the first time anyone in the USATT had actually tried to monitor their games before they came into camp etc. Tony has strong feelings about these things, some of which I...

Habesohn is one of the players who I think has been strongly aided by the plastic ball. This is purely my opinion so take it with a grain of salt. The first time I ever saw him play, the first thing that stood out to me was his ability to rally. If he was rallying with a CNT or top Euro pro...

As a contrast, I improved all through my years of EJing until I was too injured to continue to play. The main thing is that I worked on my technical and tactical instruction all those years as well. Maybe the equipment changing hurt but I don't think so. In fact it gave me a perspective on...

I know. I just have a thing about how underrated Shibaev's forehand is. If he was a better mental case, he should be one of the top 2 or 3 players in Europe consistently.

It is hard to believe that there was ever a time that Tiago could beat Timo when you watch this match right now.

Not including Alexander Shibaev makes the poll a bit useless.

The tournament is 3 months away. You are way ahead of his peaking schedule.

Others have said it already but EJing is not about the human desire to improve but what human beings do when they have wealth and choice. While it is not an absolute, human beings tend to hunt and gather things. So looking for the best tools is just human nature and in this era of wealth...

Wow, mrk may be right. But it might just be psychological at this point. LGL may rebuild his confidence.

If the ball is high and you are in position, you can accelerate through almost anything. If you don't know the general technique for accelerating the racket, the hand component is showed in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooOY8AqK60c If the ball is low, it is a perfect read of the...

I am not a good enough player to change my rubbers frequently. I block a lot and blocking is easier for me with deader rubber with a less lively sponge. I can see that topsheet grip is important for touch shots and brush loops. Those feature in my game but not so much that I cannot use a...

Okay. You are a troll.

Again, if you reduce the length of the handle, you are not changing the blade head dimensions. You are just using a shorter handle. 157 by 150 is the blade head dimensions. It has nothing to do with the handle. If you are cutting the head of the blade, then you are changing the blade head...

When those dimensions are quoted, they have nothing to do with the handle.and are usually focused on the size of the blade head/face.

I just told you what I think of it.

With flick, the most important thing IMO is to remember that the table is small and you don't need to lift you just need to get the ball forward and over the net. Contact point is more important than stroke speed for basic flick.

And you know this how? With a new electron microscope that works remotely that is yet to be invented?

I think Richard Prause once said it very well that adult learners are the ones who want to rush the most but are also the ones you need to take the most time and go slowly with or something like that.
