    Start with wrong gluing (bad glue job). Reglue and make sure the contact is correct after you glue. Glue must dry and bond properly.

    Not the right thread but I am trying to test ALC Koto blades (yes the ones I am allergic to) especially the Timo Boll ALC or Timo Boll Spirit. If you have a cheap one for sale or for trade, please reach out. Haven't played in a while but I want to raise the speed of my setup by reducing the...
  3. New Tenergy Rubbers! Tenergy 05N and Tenergy 09C

    I think the 05N will just have a harder sponge, something that amateurs have wanted access to for a longer time.

  5. Service Advice

    I would be the last person to say that one should not develop quality serve spin. It's hard to serve any serve perfect all the time under match pressure. My point is that if he is having issues with how higher level players treat his serves, he should start with the ball depth, height and...
  6. Service Advice

    Well, we can't see his serves but your spin doesn't have to be heavy for the serve to be what it is not. I know many good players whose actual serve spin is not ridiculously impressive. They just used good placement and deception and play behind the serve well. Spin is very important but it...
  7. Incorrect Service

    Since I am not a pro and I am not trying to hide my serves and I have this problem, let me offer a different explanation. The optimal contact point for a serve is over the right hip close to the body. It is a golden triangle of sorts for your serve swings, especially if you are doing...
  8. Service Advice

    Without seeing video, what I will say is that it is unlikely to be purely about spin as spin is one dimension of serve quality but not the most important. One of my favorite video series is the one by Jim Clegg where he discusses how a serve fits into your game. Then the quality of the...

  11. Are styles conforming and hurting the sport?

    Yes. Don't underestimate YouTube.
  12. Are styles conforming and hurting the sport?

    Exhibit A. Can you imagine a harder WTTC semifinal to watch since this one?
  13. Who has the world's best backhand?

    Oh, I was talking about players still playing today obviously. And Ma Long has done some work to make a credible claim for his current backhand to be on the list. But right now, I have a love affair with Lin Gaoyuan's backhand. Special stuff.

    Very funny. I have both cases...
  15. Who has the world's best backhand?

    Lin Gaoyuan.
  16. European Team Championships 2017

    I hardly need to know you - the way you wrote what you wrote speaks for itself. There are ways people who are sensitive to what stereotypes imply speak and write when talking about other cultures, especially on public forums. And those who are deliberately being insensitive have no problem...
  17. European Team Championships 2017

    What you never said is culturally insensitive. But it's okay. Illegal immigrants also have aspirations. They don't always need saviors or angels.

    Yeah. All Nigerians do in Greece is sell lighters and other such stuff. Thanks for your great awareness.
  19. Austrian Open 2017

    Fang Bo again escapes from the jaws of defeat and sends it to a 7th game - AMAZING. Honestly, Fang Bo has been down in every single game even if only by a point or two and come back to win. Ng seems to be choking IMO, even as he goes up 4-0 in the 5th and is now at 4-2. Ng has a game that I...
  20. Austrian Open 2017

    A standing ovation for Gardos in defeat. What an amazing display of the style required to play with the plastic ball going forward. Fang Bo manages to recover from the edge of defeat - still in a battle as it is 3-2 Ng and Ng is on fire.
