  1. Andro TP Ligna Allround Table Tennis Blade review?

    It is a great blade with an unprecedented feel. It is very close to the blade I played with years ago, which was an Andro Temper Tech all+. For me, still the blade with the very best ball feel. If you put offensive rubbers on a Ligna All, example 2.1, you are not going to be short of anything in...
  2. What blade does Gionis actually use?

    That's not correct. He was at our club on 27 April last and with what he is playing now I have already mentioned once above.
  3. Need tips on how to improve my feeling/control

    Feeling and control are two different things. Control can be learned through much, very much practice. Feeling is a little more difficult, some are born with it like Desmond Douglas, XuXin, J-O Waldner, Truls Möregard, and a few others. You either have it in you or you don't. That is not to say...
  4. What blade does Gionis actually use?

    Pana was in our club last week. He is indeed playing with a Korbel OFF (Japan), Feint long 2 on his BH and Tenergy 05 on his FH. Great personality!
  5. Superlight weight allround setup

    Nay yet not. I play with the Gewo so on my FH and that is topspin from short & medium distance with lots of rotation (old style) I do/can do the same on my BH as my FH but use the Hexer Grip SFX mainly to block but can also use it to flip over the table. I also used to play with Hexer Grip SFX...

  7. If you are the CNT boss, what would you do?

    Only 6 more Chinese players in the top 30 in the men's side!:oops:
  8. Zhang Jike: "Those who rely primarily on a Backhand system, can not reach the top"

    Indeed, his mental resilience was exceptionally high.
  9. Zhang Jike: "Those who rely primarily on a Backhand system, can not reach the top"

    Saive was always FH-oriented and his BH was only of moderate level, especially in his run-up to the top. That was also the reason why he did not like playing against left-handers but armed himself better against it over the years by improving his BH. His way of playing was therefore very intense...
  10. Zhang Jike: "Those who rely primarily on a Backhand system, can not reach the top"

    But he was world number one in a sport dominated by Chinese!
  11. Zhang Jike: "Those who rely primarily on a Backhand system, can not reach the top"

    Jean Michel Save had a great FH but only a weak to mediocre BH that did improve later. Admittedly in different times but he did reach the world top.
  12. ITTF Men's and Women's World Cup Macao 2025, 4/14-20

    With great effect and parallel/counterfeit balls were the key to his success. It all doesn't have to be that difficult but you have to be able to execute it, both practically/technically and mentally of course.
  13. ITTF Men's and Women's World Cup Macao 2025, 4/14-20

    Incredible but illogical shot.

    What a match from LYJ. He is back and even better than before.:love:
  16. How would you define a Pro?

    A pro is someone who can live (well) on the income he gets from playing table tennis regardless of where the money comes from, without having to pursue another profession. All others are semi-pros or amateur pros.

  18. WTT Champions Chongqing 2025 - 11-16 Mar 2025

    This! True indeed. Mind you, his FH service starts from the corner of the table. Except when he struggles. Then disappear his legs pretty much completely beside the table with all the benefits.
