  1. Chengdu IN LOCKDOWN - will WTTC be delayed?

    To take the thread back to its first hijack about money corruption, not the second comparing systems hijack - I read a book about the CCP that said stealing money-type corruption is a feature, not a bug. The ranking party people at all levels are paid almost nothing, so they almost have to...
  2. What should i do ?

    Wow, every thread gets hijacked with this same bullshit. OP, buy the Fang Bo carbon like you thought and put your M3s on it. That's the only way to get a fair evaluation of the new blade.
  3. What should i do ?

    Keep the same rubbers and change the blade. I have played with WSC. It's a very soft carbon, feels more like an all wood blade which is nice. But WSC is not fast or powerful next to any popular ALC or ZLC blade. Get a Fang Bo carbon which was your first thought. It's like a less-expensive...
  4. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Here is a training video and two meaningless practice matches. I am the one who is in all three videos. What collective wisdom from the forum?
  5. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Lula's method is also what I was trying to say with this "Oftentimes people will say take your stance, rotate your body 45 degrees to fh, and extend your arms til your finger tips touch, that is about where you ideally want to contact the ball on a forehand." I failed geometry in school so my...
  6. Experiences switching to hybrid rubbers

    Just to add confusion here is a not happy with the switch perspective. I'm 53 and small and weak besides being old. I switched to tacky for help in the short game because my defense sucks and better players always get the first attack off serve and receive. I used battle 2 and hurricane 8...
  7. Video Footage Safe Thread

    We are clearly talking about your forehand, right? Because your bh is already very compact.Coach has some outcome in mind. It would be useful to know what that is. Like, making the stroke shorter is not a good in itself, only to the extent it produces some other beneficial effect. If coach told...
  8. Are there prohibited items to import when buying from tabletennis11.com from the US?

    I don't think TT11 would display items they aren't allowed to ship to a destination, same like with Bty. I have bought the stuff OP asks about from them and it shows up in Florida three days later, never a problem.
  9. Are there prohibited items to import when buying from tabletennis11.com from the US?

    The only thing you can't import to the US from TT11 is Butterfly gear. Glue, booster, everything else is fine.
  10. Boll Tricarbon, is this a good blade?

    Boll is very good. This blade has his name on. So YES!, it must be a very good blade.
  11. Dhs h8-80

    Unboosted H8 is waaaaaay slower than H8-80. -80 is basically H8 for people too lazy (or too principled but for me it was lazy) to boost.
  12. TT brands introducing new series too fast, hard to understand

    We are looking at different parts of the OP I think. Mainly I was reacting to his question about what is Xiom's flagship pro-level rubber. Those change very slowly at Bty and DHS, and very often at the lesser brands. T05 was the #1 rubber from 2008 until dignics came out (which was when...
  13. TT brands introducing new series too fast, hard to understand

    Butterfly introduces a new series roughly every 10 years. DHS takes many years too. Like how long has H3 been their standard? So if you choose either of those brands you won't have this problem. It's only the followers in the market that have to release new product constantly.
  14. Video Footage Safe Thread

    So far I watched the first 6:30. You guys never change ends of the table? Weird. I think you are quite a bit better than this opponent and could have won 3-0 or 3-1. You made many more attacks, and he had a lot of trouble blocking you. Your serves also gave him a lot more problems than his...
  15. Can you see the ball turning ???

    Every table tennis player in the world could write this post. The reason much better players are much better is because you can't deal with their spin. If the top-rated players you can't figure out were set against world-class players they would have the same problems you have.
  16. New blade advice ?

    If you want two then get the Acoustic and one of the others. The others are all much faster so less different from each other, and less interesting of a comparison for you. Probably for the second one I would try to ZJK SZLC because you already have an ALC and want to test the ZLC...
  17. Can you see the ball turning ???

    No. You can't read spin from the label. My eyesight isn't too good either, I mean, I'm wearing progressives. What you can very usefully read is no-spin. So if the label is visible the ball is functionally no-spin. Not that it is zero rpm, but it's not enough spin to care about. So if...
  18. European Table Tennis Championships 2022

    Interesting question. Adriana is 1 - 0 head to head but from 2018. If anything maybe Polcanova should get more criticism.
  19. Had a forehand loop revelation

    You can solve the problem Carl is talking about with your mind and not have to change the robot. Don't try to control your body with thoughts. It doesn't work like that. Alternatively, try to control your breathing or heartbeat with conscious thoughts and see how messed up it gets. **Please...
  20. Had a forehand loop revelation

    Wow, that may be the lowest-quality video ever uploaded. LOL, said with love. It's just really dark and your arm goes into the shadow of your body and disappears. So this feedback is based on not being able to see you, take it fwiw. It doesn't look like your elbow opens or closes at all. Or...
