the man. the myth. the czar of spin.

cant wait to see! maybe he should play with his left hand to make it fair lol

wow this is a beautiful blade. how does it play? can you compare to viscaria?

Both of my viscaria weigh 87g lol. Heavy rubbers though.

I dont think anyone in this thread told him his dream was never going to happen. OP asked a question and a lot of people answered analytically and truthfully. Perspective and truth are way more important in life than coddling, even for 12 year olds. Heck, i'm sure there a lot of 20 or 30 year...

do you use glayzer 09c on your backhand or a different one? I used D09C on my backhand for over a year and recently switched to a 38 prov h3n. i mostly made the switch because i was looking for a cheaper alternative. I can get dignics 09c for $72, and my local shop sells glayzer for $44. Do you...

who knows, but i would say he's not a very good measuring stick for the rest of us because hes an elite level physical talent. Even though he's not the best table tennis player in the world, he might be the most physically talented if youre talking purely about the combination of strength and...

also helps that huge is an athletic freak. I found some pictures of him when he was only 13: https://hugocalderano.wordpress.com/category/clipping/page/4/ Already tall and a huge arm span. From what I've heard, he's a natural at any sport he plays. One of those types of talents where its not...

And 6 figures isn't even that good in the bay area lol. 100k is poverty in a lot of the bay area. 200k would be livable there but to make that much coaching and keeping your students, thats a lot of pressure IMO. One wrong injury and your whole source of income could disappear in an instant...

ask chat gpt lol: I dont know who this person is but i'm going to look them up...another racket sport. Jannick Sinner didn't get serious about tennis until 13. Nguyễn Tiến Minh – Badminton Started at: Age 18 (most pros start before 10) Background: Trained in poor conditions in Vietnam...

Awesome story dude. How old were you when you realized you had to pivot to a career as a blade maker and that it was ultimately impossible for you to become a professional table tennis player? Do you remember what your mindset was at that time? It goes back to one of my first posts in this...

how many coaches have you had? what is your litmus test for knowing if a coach is good or not?

online forums dont take up storage on your phone dude. dont delete. keep this thread so you can remember it when you make it. and we can remember you.

harder to do analysis since you have a small data set. You have progressed fast, but Kanak and Nandan were playing at your level when they were 9 years old. You did well your last 5 tournaments, but its going to get harder going forward. I made a little line graph for you...pretty simliar to...

If you could give me the data, i could analyze it for you lol. Does china have a rating system similar to TTR or USATT?

So I'll never be a table tennis pro, but I am a professional business analyst lol. Here is my analysis of two of the top players in the USA: Kanak Jha is currently world rank 28. Here's a table of his age and USATT rating at the time (based on this page...

To become top 50 at anything in the world is damn near impossible. I remember when I was OPs age, I thought I was going to grow up and become a famous actor lol. Good to have goals, better to have a plan B. One day my dad took me to a park where there were a bunch of homeless people. He told...

two weeks ago i put a 39degree 2.20mm H3N BS on my forehand. boosted twice and two layers of DHS15 glue. I can make some pretty good shots but its HARD to engage the rubber fully. definitely had to swing faster. Over the weekend, I threw a brand new H3N BS 40 degree 2.15 BS boosted twice with...

You've been doing it a lot longer than me lol. Also, haifu national yelllow is like thick snot....i try to put a little back into the bottle before i brush on the sponge, which is probably why it takes me longer. Gluing is pretty fast- one little swirl and then brush it on the sponge with the...

H3N does require boosting, but i feel like most people overestimate how much time and effort it takes to boost. it's really quite a simple process: 1) Open vacuum sealed rubber (10 seconds) 2) remove white protecting sheet off the sponge side (10 seconds) 3) open and apply booster (1-2 minutes...
