  1. Reverse Pendelum fast an upspin

    Nice video from @Matt Hetherington. Matt, I'm also trying to learn it... There is also this point that the fore-arm needs to "swing" around the elbow (where the elbow is high). But in order to do that, we first must go forward with the elbow, while the fore-arm "stays back", so that it then can...
  2. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    I don't know. We are all on the same boat, there will be idiots, there will be good people, in any nation, saying "Japanese" are like that, "Chinese" are like that, there maybe some grain of truth, if you extrapolate correctly, but imho it's not worth the price to do that... I'd say it's safe to...
  3. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    Funny? Those "know-it-alls" who dare to speak like that about pros just look like idiots, not funny ;-) It occ. happens here too, but I guess much more freq. in Tieba, which doesn't really show it in good light...
  4. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    (y) I think you can also see that on some players, e.g. Cotton, Sora. It's like the hand is more up also, reducing danger of edge-hit...

  6. Singapore Smash 2026, Singapore, 2/19-3/1

    When we see the TTR it essentially ends up with producing a number for the angle. Does it really need to take that long nowadays? And even if, I'd rather let the players play and use their playing time until the "internal everytime TTR" is done and then make the call - I mean only if it was...
  7. Intensive 5-7 Day Private Coaching in Europe?

    Table tennis academy It's in czech, but you can see the dates of the training camps. There is an e-mail, you could try to contact them. Havl. Brod is closer to you than Havirov, but that's a detail. Cheers.
  8. Singapore Smash 2026, Singapore, 2/19-3/1

    The way must be changed, umpires can't proceed like that. In the future the umpires can only say "check", not "fault", and that will trigger review.
  9. Yasaka Rakza 7 Hard

    I thought Rakza XX has the same top-sheet as Rakza 7, isn't it so? Now R7H is supposed to have the same hardness as RXX... Is it just the same rubber with different name? I'd not be surprised when I see Yasaka claims Rakza X has higher throw than R7, for me RX was ideal blocking rubber with low...
  10. Ultra-thin sponge?

    By chance, can you provide link to this/these Yinhe rubbers? My friend dislikes the default 729 Super FX sponge, I think he'd enjoy the hard dense sponge.
  11. inverted ox

    I don't know. He said he ordered - actually made someone else order for him - two sponge sheets, 0,6 and 1,0mm. But what glue and how he will do it - no idea. But he said he can do it... "Unreturnable chops" are coming, I don't want to scare you too much, but if I were you, I'd consider...
  12. inverted ox

    I just bought 2 pieces in black. You've been very helpful @firetack, thank you very much.
  13. Ultra-thin sponge?

    Where did you get 729 Super FX in 1mm, if you can disclose? Thanks.
  14. inverted ox

    One player asked me to buy the Friendship 729 FX top-sheet, Ox, without sponge. He claimed I bought it once for him, which I can't recollect ;-) and doubt it. Anyway, he is an older player, a defender, who plays his whole life, he helped a lot of people when they were younger. But he is kind of...
  15. Throw angle is not a rubber property!

    Confusion from conclusions grows ;-)
  16. Throw angle is not a rubber property!

    Common @zeio , allow us, once in 2 years... I'll be leaving though for couple of days, will watch from distance ;-)
  17. Throw angle is not a rubber property!

    Yes, I mean loop - I mentioned it there actually... You're right that's crucial - we can only speak about loop here... Regarding the H3 and D09C comparison, here for me, the differences in throw angles in loops and power loops are not that dramatic and I can adapt to both... But for me the D09C...
  18. Throw angle is not a rubber property!

    First, don't take it personally, I'd love to have a hit with you... For that shot - a loop - the higher throw means you add more spin relative to speed, the ball goes higher but also falls down quicker (due to spin) and so the trajectory is at the end shorter (I mean where it lands on the...
  19. Throw angle is not a rubber property!

    Well, good, if it's clear, it's clear... It was not obvious for me to recognize, you know what you speak about, especially when I see you give like to @joshmak10 's post, which imho is missleading... Why? It's not the high throw angle which is associated with overshooting loops, it is the low...
  20. Throw angle is not a rubber property!

    TBH I only managed to read the 1st half ;-) But I like the point about derived properties... And we have a good discussion, don't we? ;-) So, mission accomplished...
