  1. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    I second this. It's difficult to describe technique, it's much more effective to use a specific training method. My backswing was just like @Zezima's, and I had a really tough time trying to correct it after a similar number of years playing. What helped me to finally get it is a training...
  2. Fan Zhendong is joining 1. FC Saarbrücken next season

    Yeah, he could just be playing with 2 D09c. All pro attackers boost though, so that's probably not going away.
  3. WTT Finals Hong Kong 2025, 12/10-14

    Impressive tournament by Tomo! Are we finally seeing Tomo reaching his peak? The young man is only 22, it's quite impressive what he managed to do in a big tournament under high pressure situations and in a very hostile environment. Sure, he didn't play against WCQ, but LSD was in terrific...
  4. WTT Finals Hong Kong 2025, 12/10-14

    If Felix had a bit more experience he'd won this one IMO. He did a great job switching it up after being down 3-1, opening up with spin instead of power, and using a smaller motion and taking a bit off the ball during BH rallies. Tomo repeated dumped the spinny openings into the net while...
  5. WTT Finals Hong Kong 2025, 12/10-14

    Impressed with XP. He's playing more like ML in rallies now. Rather than constantly aggressively looking for the pivot in a rally he's now patiently using spin and pace changes on the BH side to control the opponent and then opportunisticly pivot to finish the point when appropriate.
  6. Blade’s weight depending on humidity? How much?

    Wood is full of pores, channels designed to shuffle water around. Unless you can keep your blade airtight 100% of the time its moisture content will equilibriate with its surrounding environment. Lacquering will make this process longer, more useful when you have intermittent high exposure to...
  7. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Had a coaching session a couple days ago. My coach immediately noticed the improved FH (I didn't say anything), and FH training was shorter than usual as I about doubled my consecutive FH loop record. As usual, the hardest thing to get right after a change in technique is timing, and that's...
  8. Q968 compared to Fan Zhendong ALC and Innerforce ZLC

    It pairs very well with H3, excellent spin, still plenty of power when hit hard. I used Q968 for ~3 months but switching back to the FZD now. The Q968 is more difficult to use, harder to hit into the blade, and creates a higher but also longer arc when hit hard so without great technique also...
  9. Sleeping after a late TT session

    You jest but it's actually really effective and all natural (individual experienced may vary)!
  10. National Games of China 2025, 11/9-21, Guangdong/Hong Kong/Macao

    Well, it worked out for them. Not guaranteed a win obviously but now they just need to win the WCQ vs XX and ML vs ZK matches and let FZD win his.
  11. National Games of China 2025, 11/9-21, Guangdong/Hong Kong/Macao

    Interesting strategy by Beijing to go with HYZ/ML for doubles.
  12. National Games of China 2025, 11/9-21, Guangdong/Hong Kong/Macao

    I thought it'd be obvious to everyone that she'll never be known as one of the best all time because she's never won a World Championship.

    Last time I posted about my FH revisions I mentioned that there were just some minor adjustments needed. Well, those minor adjustments sure took a damn long time! But finally, I'm there. Every little adjustment somewhere meant adjustments needed to be made everywhere else, the work just...
  14. National Games of China 2025, 11/9-21, Guangdong/Hong Kong/Macao

    No, you made it pretty clear, my post was agreeing with you :LOL:
  15. National Games of China 2025, 11/9-21, Guangdong/Hong Kong/Macao

    Either way we may not see ML vs FZD. If Huang and ML play doubles then it would probably make more sense for Huang to play FZD anyway.
  16. National Games of China 2025, 11/9-21, Guangdong/Hong Kong/Macao

    If ML and WCQ play doubles then only one will play against FZD.
  17. National Games of China 2025, 11/9-21, Guangdong/Hong Kong/Macao

    I'm more interested in seeing ML vs FZD one last time! Hope they don't pair ML and WCQ in doubles so it remains possible that we see WCQ and ML vs FZD as the ultimate boss fight for FZD to secure his place in the GOAT conversation.
  18. National Games of China 2025, 11/9-21, Guangdong/Hong Kong/Macao

    How about Yu Heyi though? Took down LJK in the singles and took FZD to the 5th set in the team event. He was up I think 8-6 before getting a bit nervous IMO while FZD continued his beastly play. Yu Heyi's play actually reminded me of how Ma Long used to play against FZD, using pace changes to...
  19. Pongbot Nova S Pro owners' review and discussion thread

    I just got the Nova as well for short game and service training in addition to my Halo. The synchronization issue can possibly be bypassed by cutting a single drill into multiple shorter drills, thus resetting the sync every few balls.
  20. Pongbot Nova S Pro owners' review and discussion thread

    I think they all have two wheels. I'm interested in trying to create my own app. There are a lot of functions IMO the pongbot app is missing. I also wonder if it's possible to control 2 devices at once, thus allowing you to create a drill with 2 robots at once?
