Well, at best, we could say the throw-angle is the function which depends on the rubber, blade and the stroke... You could of course try to say "it is a property", but it is not precise enough. Property is more like an attribute, like say color, or say pimple radius... The throw-angle, at best...

NOPE, it isn't. Imagine another term, called bottoming out. I'm sure you know it. So softer rubber will tend to bottom out on harder stroke, and its throw-angle will be lower...You see, it changes with the impact force... That's all... What's so hard for you to see it???

I see it more like the description of what a given food contains, like 30% sugar, 20% fat, 20% corn, 50% alcohol, etc. It should be disclosed, same as it is for food... There is a qualitative difference between a thing like a pimple-structure and internal mechanism of an engine... Not the same...

Sorry I somehow didn't get what is "wrong for variety of reasons even in intent." Well, yes, that's what I said in my example about the player, for whom the T05H is better than MX-P/D. You'll generally not be able to change people, very few are willing to change... (It's better to change the...

;-) if it were my way, a rubber can be certified and sold IF AND ONLY IF all of it's real properties are openly disclosed, especially pimple radius, height and spacing, top-sheet thickness, and maybe some others, like top-sheet coating details. These are the real properties. And we are being...

Well, I think we are being a bit unfair to @Tyce, who ofc kind of asked for it, by presenting something in a bit more controversial way ;-) But anyway, to come back to your point. You say "On the same strokes and on the same blade"... And ofc they have different throw angles, but that's not the...

That one is wrong actually ;-)

And that directly implies, that in fact there is only 1 rubber, and ... are his ... ;-) Jokes aside, I agree with that, and actually always saw it that way... It is a derived "thingee" (to not call it property), which depends on both the rubber and on your particular hit... However, I don't...

I went through something similar on Saturday - the regional championship for this year. Cca 60 players from our region participated (there is 14 regions in our country). We were divided to 15 groups with 4 people each, you play all, means 3 matches, and best 2 of the group continue to the main...

Matej, I'd suggest Glayzer + Rozena this time. You'll see how you like it. I wanted to suggest G09C FH and Glayzer BH, but you said you don't like G09C, that can happen, it's fine. Don't get D09C, you'll like it even less. Forget H3 for a while, give it a year, and try that after a year. About...

I think it's perfectly OK that they use what we call "less perfect" technique ;-), when they are older. I think they know what they are doing... Yeah, is there any point in growing when we'll die? We play for the moment, and then perhaps for the reflections of that/those moment(s) during some...

My experience for the last 7 years, since I returned to the sport, is different. First, I'd not say that the goal is to win points. That we can say about profis. But for us, amateurs, we can have different goals, and/or mixtures of goals, to have fun, to sweat, to win (yes), to feel good during...

@Matt Hetherington @zeio @Tyce @NextLevel <= required to participate in the TTD meeting!!! ;-) I book Matt first, and I've already booked @Der_Echte ;-)

Hey, @dingyibvs, I like your approach of deconstructing the stroke and identifying the parts, and seeing it then as an orchestrated composition of the parts, where the timing of them is crucial. What I'd like to add, is that always when you have parts, there can be, and usually is, multiple...

I think TM is so advanced, that we can only dream about his level, and he doesn't really go elbow close to the body during backswing. He may not go completely the same path back, off course, but that was not my point. There is a range in all things, and let's say ML goes back elbow close to the...

Standing wider, this will make you lower. You can go lower, and not stand wider, but that will feel weird. Try going wider, instead. Standing too wide, is also wrong. You can experiment and find the range. Also you can try to make the V angle a bit more between the feet. Again experiment, when...

Imo it's pretty forgiving, e.g. more than rozena, more than R7 (both very good), still capable of spin... Try and identify what more do you need...

I liked Vega Pro, your profile says you use it, what do you think about it?

Explain this to me. Since I've returned to TT I've avoided Butterfly rubbers because I've considered it over-prized, and I thought I can find whatever I need elsewhere. On the FH I've somehow started to like the dense sponge, and it's already couple of years. On the BH, I tried many rubbers and...
