Haven't tried pushes, but I don't serve well enough to make comparisons as there's just too much difference in spin from serve to serve with the same racket.

You know, LJK may have helped FZD just as much as he did the CNT. If China had lost I bet a lot of fans would've turned on FZD for not helping the team out.

LJK actually looks slimmer. If he's put on weight it must've been between his legs :ROFLMAO:

The biggest difference I've seen so far is maybe like ~5% between freshly boosted H3 and a dead sheet of H3 in terms of spin. Otherwise with all sorts of combos the difference has been neglible at the top end. With some equipment it's easier to reach a higher level of speed/spin, but once I...

Guys, I think I've finally figured it all out. FH and BH, I think I can play the way I want now! On the FH side the main missing piece appears to be avoiding excessive backswing, especially with the arm. This allows me to always catch the ball a bit in front of the body and before the ball...

Just look at the bracket, it has all the time info.

Oh yea, I have the same issue. It took me many months to start remembering to loop with my BH, and that's with significant focus on using my BH loop in game situations. I've noticed that there's no point in focusing on technique during game situations, things happen too fast for you to remember...

Ha, tell me about it! It always feels like 2 steps forward 1 step back. Just today, I felt that my BH went back to an overly brushy stroke after spending the past couple of weeks focusing more on improving my FH. At least it was fairly quick to switch it back. FH though is still an ongoing...

After boosting it needs to be played for a bit to be broken in. It plays like trash before that happens.

As always, I'm working on a boatload of things. My coach says that my BH technique is now better than my FH technique, especially when I'm made to move, so I'm redoubling my efforts to perfect my FH technique. Main things are: 1) Do NOT backswing with the arm or the body, backswing with my...

That makes sense, perhaps I was just overdoing it. I've still played a good amount the past couple of days, but just taking it a bit easier, and doing my typical more intensive self-care regimen for whenever I have a minor injury. Seems to be working pretty well, it barely hurts now even when...

Mine's kinda weird, it's over the medial epicondyle, which would be golfer's elbow. The TT motion that's more similar to the trailing arm of a golf swing would be FH, but my practice has been much more focused on the BH. Maybe the issue is more that I'm just gripping more tightly after my...

He'll need a lot of training though. I think he recently played and streamed a match against Yu Heyi and he lost 4-2. Granted Yu did beat LJK and pushed FZD to 5 games in the Chinese national games.

A good piece of FZD ALC is really awesome. I'm thinking of switching back to it after my current rubbers wear out next month. I've been transitioning to a more compact motion on both sides, so I think the FZD will suit me better. It's just really hard to hit into the Q968 except with...

I think it depends. If you're developing a set of technique, it's probably a good idea to keep the variables to a minimum, kind of like how you probably don't wanna EJ while you're focused on revamping your game. I think if there's one venue that you're very comfortable with, then venturing...

Sounds like not the best week for us TTDers :eek: I had a bad day at the club too. Went to the club with Butterfly tables, and I just can't adjust to it quickly. So many whiffs, and even against blocks I have no confidence to re-loop, which is usually bread and butter for me. Lost every...

Whoa, you guys have a Pongbot on rails now?

Yeah, Hurricanes really need for you to commit on every shot. It's pretty tiring to play with it. But the plus side is that if the incoming shot has a lot of energy it becomes much more controllable in comparison. I counterloop way better with Hurricanes, the extra dwell really lets you...

Went to my regular club today, had another solid day. Won all my matches, but most importantly, won a lot of points with my BH. People were surprised, they were like "whoa, you're using the red side now?" :ROFLMAO: I got progressively more comfortable as the night went on, and my BH shots got...

To expand on the technique changes on the BH side, I've found that the most useful is all the hitting practice. I used to start my motion as sort of a windshield wiper motion, trying to brush from behind the ball, then add more hitting as needed. Now I'm starting my motion more like a backhanded...
