  1. 4 New Colour Rubbers Confirmed!

    Pink and black is classic combo so I will go for that. https://images.app.goo.gl/RZ4rGHfn4A6MPtiW8
  2. Neck pain

    He could try neckhammock.com. Some very gentle traction could not hurt. If he wants to try a free approach first here is one anybody can do with no equipment. Lie with your back and head on the floor. Use a bed or chair to rest all the weight of your lower legs. So your knees are bent at...
  3. playing with short pips

    Listen, the guy I am posting for is not HZW or Ito Mima. He bought short pips for the first time, played with them once, and said he put a lot of balls in the net. If you seriously think he does not need to change his bat angle from using inverted then your pips advice is pretty suspect, imo.
  4. playing with short pips

    It is actually different. Unlike switching from one inverted to another, pimples makes a real difference. The simplest way I can say it is short pips send the ball where your bat points it. So you can never swing over the top of a ball like you do with inverted. It will hit the table on your...
  5. playing with short pips

    I'm too late with this advice, but don't get 2.0. Ito plays with 1.8, so if 2.0 is too much for her .... My other suggestion is not to choose a short pimple that is easy to adapt to coming from inverted. Unless you have a coach who will teach you short pips play. It's very easy with modern...
  6. Olympian Coach Giving me Multiball

    What der said. Plus 80% of players only play and never practice. Of the 20% who practice, 19.99% of them only forehand loop vs block or counterloop. That leaves about 150 people in america to do multiball.
  7. Stupid question about Tenergy 05!

    Use 05. It won't make any difference but you will feel better about it.
  8. Blade choice for short pimple

    It is expensive, but if her violin has too much flex for short pimples, she could try violin carbon (the outer carbon).
  9. Stupid question about Tenergy 05!

    What you said earlier. Get the best pip hitting blade. If you are going to use pips you have to build your game around the pips. Your fh will just have to adapt. You can't build it around your inverted fh and think the pips will adapt to whatever playing distance or contact timing or table...
  10. Stupid question about Tenergy 05!

    Buying a stiff blade for successful pip hitting is a real thing. Buying 05, 05fx, r48, and el pro 48 because you think it will change your fh loop is more like this. https://youtu.be/InZydV39hb8
  11. Which Joola rubber is most similar to Tenergy 05fx

    None of them. Just buy the tenergy.
  12. Blade for short pips?

    Yes, clipper is better for the short pips. MLSC will flex more. Good for forehand loops, not so much for control with pimples.
  13. 2020 China National Championship

    Just watched the WD Final. Has to be the Match of the tournament. Lot of long rallies and some crazy shots. Thank God pro TT is back.
  14. 2020 China National Championship

    Does it look to anybody else like ML is playing the final like a friendly match between teammates? Already in the first game he is trying sidespin chopblocks. Not sure too much weight should be put on this result.
  15. 2020 China National Championship

    Are the draws and results for this online in english anywhere? Didn't find them on ittf. Wanted to read through and find some close matches to watch without going through all 101 videos.
  16. 2020 China National Championship

    If this second ML-LGY loss happened, and LGY lit up everybody else on the CNT, and LGY won a major event, and ML was injured, then maybe LGY would take his place in Tokyo 202x. I'm sure somebody in Macau would give you great odds on that as a prop bet.
  17. 2020 China National Championship

    Repost this when ML loses to a european.
  18. Improving shot selection

    To me training vs a good long pimples player is the best to work on reading the spin and deciding when and how hard to attack. Someone who can vary between yeavy backspin and dead, whether they block at the table or chop. You always have time, but choosing the right stroke isn't easy.
  19. Should I change to short pips?

    This was exactly my experience. It took about a year to play the same level with SP bh. But I enjoy it a lot more so I am very happy to have switched.
  20. Can a late starter become a quality veteran player?

    Decent local league player is not that high a standard. The OP is not trying to win WVC, he wants to win 50% in local league. It is definitely achievable. But it is not easy. Zyu81 gave you good advice. Get a coach who pays attention to you. Train and play as much as you can, but don't go...
