I knew someone would say this. The story is from Covert Bailey's book, "Fit or Fat", which was written in the 80s before more modern tests with lower error were widespread. It is unlikely that the guy was 2%. It is however quite likely that the guy was being told to lose fat when he had very...

If you know the kind of stuff Loopadoop posts and how he feels about long pips, you will realize your best strategy is to nod your head and move on...

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/03/090302115755.htm I have provided lots of stuff to enable you to understand that 1) healthy women carry more body fat than healthy men. 2) Chen Meng obviously has a slim upper body and most of her weight is in her lower body like most top level...

And how do you know she has 8 - 13 kg of excess fat? Not excess weight but excess fat? A popular fitness trainer told the story of an American football player who was clearly overweight. His coaches asked him to lose weight because he was too big. He was put on diets and his food relatively...

In fact no one is espousing a chubby muscular dichotomy. In fact all people , fat and thin, have muscles and muscles are required to carry fat. In fact you can be very muscular with little fat and still too large for table tennis. But even when people look chubby, you can't tell what their...

Yes. That said, being all muscle doesn't mean you can't be too large to move quickly and play the sport with high endurance. But this is not something that you can conclude by simply saying that someone looks chubby or fat. Looks can be deceiving.

G1 is very easy to brush with. The topsheet is very grippy, almost like Chinese rubber. It is slower than Tenergy and only a little slower than Rakza 7 but I never played Rakza 7 for extended period. My club mate who did said he preferred G1 and thought it was an improved Razka 7 when he...

I wrote a review but I would say that G1 is the best rubber of the ESN generation that includes Baracuda, Hexer, Genius, Xplode, Vega Pro etc. It is for people who want durable spinny rubbers and aren't necessarily looking for the fastest stuff. It has Tenergy like throw angles but with less...

I did. I also used to play with Karis M and Tenergy 05 too, remember? Even did a brief stint with Genius. But I wanted something that suited my current game after taking a 9 month hiatus. To cut a long story short, Fastarc G1 is now being sold at reasonable prices in Europe and I gave it a...

I agree. Slower really means more linear with less catapult. I really don't like the catapult of Vega Pro either so I prefer G1 to it as well.

My favorite balls, largely because I want consistency across the market are the new DHS and DFish ABS balls in whatever brand. Close second is the Nittaku Premium. Distant third is the seamless, as they bounce higher and make me look my stupid when I serve. Very very distant fourth is...

Oils of all kinds are boosters. Most modern rubbers contain some kind of oil even if it doesn't smell like Dandoy Bioboost or Falco Temp or baby oil. So don't take the claim that a rubber is boosted to be the same as it is heavily boosted or it is boosted with something commercially available...

It is obviously boosted, the difference ia the performance degradation and how you feel using it when the booster wears off. T05 still feels good while MX-P plays significantly worse to me.

Unless you are using multiple blades, you often use a blade for as long as you can. This is just a matter of someone using the blade he likes. I think we amateurs sometimes over think this stuff. I know a coach who thinks that the newer Viscarias are faster but I also know a Viscaria expert...

The underdog played well. Don't need more than that.

Beating top 20 players is not good enough to stay on CNT A team. But I know what you mean just pointing that out.

It is really funny that I thought the Qabod was a brick when I first used it. It seems to me that the plastic ball makes everything slower and there are no true OFF+ blades anymore.

So as I try to come back, the main frustration is that after I play, I feel as if I need to put my knees into a cryogenic chamber. How long I can keep this up I don't know, but my ball quality has mostly returned and I actually think my strokes are better now even as my footwork is shit. I...

It depends on whether you engage the carbon or not. It is very hard for a wood blade to compete with a carbon blade on power shots.

Yes, there was a time when you could change rackets during the match and at any point in time too. If it wasn't against the rules, then players will adapt to that as well. There are pros and cons to things like this. But it is obvious that changing rackets is not unequivocally to the detriment...
