  3. Andro TP_Ligna series

    Yes indeed, new one. Last week, it was not yet on their site. Thank you for sharing. I exchanged my CI for an all wood a few months ago and VERY happy with it!
  4. I want opinions on my chances of pro

    I witnessed the rise of the Saive brothers quite closely. They both started at a very young age and had the talent of both their parents at an early age. Philippe, the youngest was more talented than his his brother Jean-Michel. Problem with Philippe was that he always found table tennis to be a...
  5. New Andro NUZN 48 and 45

    Earlier than expected then.(y)
  6. Damien Éloi: Are the top players’ rubbers different?

    Possible! And a few weeks later, they will start production of a new line with harder rubbers from a few degrees more.
  7. Felix Lebrun lost 14 direct points on serve when faced Wang Chuqin

    His body is definitely not in front of the baseline but beyond the baseline and next to the table.
  8. Felix Lebrun lost 14 direct points on serve when faced Wang Chuqin

    If your body is already almost completely past the baseline because you are standing next to the table, you must either throw the ball backwards with your throwing hand (to hit the ball in front of the baseline as you should) or hit the ball past the baseline. And it is precisely the latter that...
  9. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    TH has two major shortcomings: he lacks powerful short serves, and his biggest problem is his responsiveness. It's unbelievable how many balls Wang hits around his ears without any reaction from him because he's ready on his forehand and the ball goes to his backhand, not to mention his reaction...
  10. Felix Lebrun lost 14 direct points on serve when faced Wang Chuqin

    From what I can see, at least 10 serves are illegal. His pelvis/hips are 80% to the side of the table. This causes him to hit the ball above the table, beyond the baseline. After those serves, the third fatal ball inevitably follows because he keeps making the playing field smaller with his...
  11. Damien Éloi: Are the top players’ rubbers different?

    Punishment!:oops: That they are going to adjust their rubbers/sponge mix and machines for perhaps 200 or 300 copies/player. So why is Damien being so mysterious about it?:unsure:

  13. Damien Éloi: Are the top players’ rubbers different?

    I don't believe a word of it. I can't believe that they would adjust the composition of rubbers and/or sponges in the manufacturing process specifically for one particular player (or several players). I do believe in test compositions for professionals, but in my opinion, this is only to...
  14. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    Seems pretty logical to me, since 80% of Lebrun's services are illegal anyway. They (all players) have protected each other for years. I wonder if they will now try to harm each other in the future by invoking TTR.
  15. Lighter BH rubber for CPEN setup

    Andro Hexer grip SFX/powergrip SFX = very light rubbers.
  16. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    Harimoto's FH has increased in power by at least 25% over the last few months!
  17. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    I am particularly pleased because there are finally referees who dare to criticise players. The fact that a player now wants to challenge an opponent's serve can have advantages and disadvantages. Perhaps there is now a little bit of fear, so that players themselves will pay very close attention...
  18. Best matches of contemporary table tennis?

    I will always remember this one because we watched the final live in Rotterdam.
