Given how he played at the Australian Open, he can't have big upsets anymore unless he beats someone in the top 10.

The only thing I will add to this is that you should either practice with someone above your level or play matches with someone of your level or even better below. This is just to start. As you understand and watch better, you can play anyone. If you play matches against someone at a higher...

Been in Rome for the past few days so no table tennis. It will be interesting when I return because I think my technique was becoming more physical before I left. In any case, life is going to be interesting.

All sports where you need to accelerate rackets the arm or hand over a short distance rely on whip mechanics. If you watch any advanced TT player and don't feel toy are watching a master class in whip mechanics, then you either don't have the eyes or the player is not as advanced as you think...

I almost never grip switch. The only thing I do is cock my wrist back slightly on all backhand strokes. However, my finger and thumb need to be on the blade face and doing most of the grip work with the middle finger as a supporter so I can make all angle adjustments with this grip. I will...

Pricey, the backhand loop is my favorite stroke and is a stroke I understand comprehensively. In fact, once of the things I have realised as I have become more advanced is that it is possible to have very similar forehand and backhand motions and in fact , one of the reasons my backhand is good...

And Timo Boll and other pros use Tenergy 05 because this idea that high throw rubbers make certain kinds of loops easier is somehow untrue for professional players as well? Come on, buddy. The funny thing is if you watch the Buttefly video, they argue that the higher throw rubbers make it...

Sebas, just cut out the act and be you usual self. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G0CEUQveMuw&feature=youtu.be&t=480

They are rotating the Chinese players advertised into a single spot or two reserved for the CNT member on the team that chose them.

And T25 has the highest throw of all the Tenergies. Paradoxical, isn't it?

Brett has video on Ttedge where he recommends trying to do it in practice as the goal. It is a standard practice routine for high level players and a lot of the quality comes from Dan's serve, which is something that escapes people who are not reading what is happening properly.

Let's put it this way - if you are asking the questions you are asking, 3 is a crime. If you were advanced enough to just have fun using 3 blades, you would adjust between them easily and accept them for what they are. Right now, they are making you believe that the blade/rubber is the main...

This is one of the reasons I stopped using it and Stiga blades in general.

This whole post reminds me of how I used to think about equipment when I was 1000-1600 and had enough money to waste on rubber and bkafes

IT's not a penalty specific to anyone and was designed to deter no-shows from players. Remember when ZJK once played a few points before retiring vs Dima in a tournament last year or maybe two years ago? Some thought it was because the points he lost would have been smaller than if he had not...

Fairly sure it was Tenergy 05.

Probably part of the reason his forehand blocking is worse now. Growing pains though, nothing more.

To be frank guys, even Bobrow said it, those three matches from QF to Final, especially the match vs Drinkhall, that was the best TT he had ever seen Vladi play, and he made Drinkhall look so normal I thought it was Drinkhall that has issues, but Gauzy looked just as useless.

Guys, it is a great video to watch of two skilled players hitting to each other but it is a table tennis rubber. It is going to do what every other table tennis rubber does - enable you to play table tennis if you have skills or if you want to build the skills. Even if I buy the rubber and...

Nah. Just youtube viewing.
