Depends how much of a shock you want! D.tecs is generally regarded as the most difficult to use lp, but the hardest for opponents to handle. So going from inverted to d.tecs will take a lot of adjustments! If you can mentally tolerate that, I'd say go with d.tecs or if you want slightly less...

Lots of people still play with pips, and still win. If you enjoy it and it fits your style, give it a go! For amateur play I don't think long pips is a death sentence!

It's a sliding scale DISRUPTION ...................... CONTROL -----0-------------------------------------------------------- Any sort of sponge is going to slide it over to the right side, which usually reduces difficulty for the opponent. Do you think you're going to passive block and let...

Not necessarily. The rule states, so long as it is superficial hatred/rage then it will be permissible.

Man, you guys are wild... if you think this is some extreme example of poor sportsmanship or athletics! Looks very tame coming from where I play. Hell, even on some edges I get I'll raise a hand to get the opponents attention and then say, "hey... and I'm not sorry, bahaha!" Lighten up...

At the us nationals I beat someone 11-0 in a game (3-0 final score) and they pulled me aside afterward, then informed how rude and disrespectful I was for not giving up a point. If it happened like that again, I'd probably try to win TWO games at 11-0 :D I've come close to losing 11-0, but...

I think it also depends on what kind of shot you're going for. Is your big loop a kind of suicide attack? You win it or lose it on the hefty swing? Problem there is you run into issues like Chen does at the timestamp video here. Then try to see how many are actually winners... if your attempted...

I quite like both of the rubbers. Having used mainly tenergy 64 as of late, swapping to either dynaryz rubber didn't require much of a change at all, if any... Initial testing, t64 was easier for me to generate spin on serves. Though a few tweaks here and there brings out the spin of the...

I had the same injury spot on my wrist... How did I fix it? Well, I now use pips on the backhand! Never did heal entirely, and still cannot use the backhand flick/loop movements without it popping again. Physical therapy and all that proved useless for me. Point being: be careful with it or...

Oh lord, a good video! But I think I found too many Dima moments to be unintentionally funny. From his loud breathing every shot, to the https://youtu.be/RnoNipHJQXo?t=421 timestamp when his voice goes high, and it sounds like he's trying to do an old granny impression

How can you prove his intent? I some times do something similar, hitting the ball with the back of my hand for a real wobbler!

Is it strange that Par didn't serve even once to Dan's backhand side? I think the only conclusion to draw there is... he fears Dan's backhand blaster!

Certainly not everywhere! https://tabletennis-reference.com/player/detail/5221 She's been playing against pros since about age 13 it seems... using long pips the whole time as a chopper.

Pocket also didn't try to slow play the other guy much. Now, I don't know if Moses is good at that type or not.. but neither does the PR! The counters Moses did were generally off of long balls that went too slow or too far off the table. Instead of trying to loop him away at a distance, just...

For brushing top spin against heavy backspin, I try to tell people imagine they are using one hand to throw a heavy rock over a tall fence, that they are standing right next to. If you throw it forward, you'll hit the fence and it won't go over. It's heavy enough to where you can't just flip it...

Another good episode! Thought Danny was crumbling like a cookie in that last match... but he managed to adjust, relax and outlast the other guy. Looked like his opponent had been relying on Dan to miss more shots, and when the ol' boy began landing them, he took a lead the villain couldn't...

Just know that defending is RARELY as glorious as those top players on youtube make it seem... it can be a very fun style, depending on your opponent. To me it's not like being an attacker, where you try to impose your gameplan on the other player no matter what (attacks!). With defending, you...

I bet Dan's regretting not playing in episode one now... :D So much pressure on him now from all these weeks of "playing soon"! that the build up will be crushing!! CRUSHING!! :cool::cool:

Oh that's right, the orange guys had a fisher and a chopper. Rewatching it just now he took both of them to the 5th game, but was beaten at 11-4 on one and similar on the other.

This is my only YT subscription that I actually click immediately when the notification pops up! To Dan... are there no pips players in those leagues?! I don't recall having seen a chopper or pips blocker in any of the matches yet.
