I am always curious to know how much pressure you compress the wood with and with which device. I also suppose that when you put more or less pressure on your wood it affects the characteristics of the blade.

about insoles

Doesn't matter. Was also not specifically in response to you but in general. It was about proposals and/or adjustments to regulations (nets, balls, rubbers, playing surface, etc.... I already described my proposal above, for the moment countless illegal services are given in my opinion every...

Yes indeed, which is why my last sentence. A lot is allowed these days. Even throwing 20m with your wood is only penalised with a yellow cardboard.

Lol, maybe they can start banning or at least regulating serving next to/upside the table. When I see Lim Jong Hoon (and there are a few more like that) pretty much standing with their body next to the table and as a result, in 90% of them serve their services above/over the table and take...

I don't think he will ever make it to a top 5 or even top 10 within the CNT. I also see some (regular) tactical errors by Watanabe.

I cannot think of any advantage to this kind of grip. It occurs to me that she would actually be better switching to handshake instead to pen grip but neither will happen. In any case, I don't see any big leaps forward in the near future for her.

It has never been fun but it has been a challenge every time.

Unbelievable, young player with material. No doubt his mentor must be cut from the same wood.:D

Not agree, but that has been discussed here before. They are only better thanks to their material. Give them normal 2x inverted rubbers and you will more than likely play them to all corners of the table or playing area. And weze they are also always the laziest players because they haven't...

Your drawing is incomplete! There should also be a sequel, No.5...how would you draw it? :LOL:

I have always followed this topic with interest because I was very interested in how others put together and made their timbers. My interest still stems from my younger years when we sometimes experimented with making our own speakers and table tennis wood. More than forty years ago, we bought a...

Indeed, Asics is better when you have a narrow foot. I also tried them and for me they were way too narrow. I have put Sorbothane insoles in my Mizuno's for years.

I am of the principle that, tactically, there is far too little parallel play, although there has been some change in this in the last few years. The scoring rate (if carefully executed) will be higher with a parallel ball because of the surprise effect.

Great match from Togami. :love: Real shame about his last three moves. But I have reservations about his tactics, or not... Pretty much all his BH balls went/were diagonal, at least 90%. Rarely, if ever, did he play a BH > parallel and when he did play one, 99% of them went wrong. Remarkably...

I had a thought exchange in another group about Lin's nationality. The other wrote that Lin was a Chinese. I messaged him that Lin is a Taiwanese. According to that man, Lin remains a Chinese, mentioning that a Cretan is also a Greek. An example that is not comparable at all in my opinion...

This: Reflex test and this: Batax-test

I do not know if he himself knows what his lesser qualities are but I have known for a long time what his shortcoming is and for attentive readers I have written it here several times, namely his reflex time especially in his BH > FH movement and with age and having developed more muscles it has...

Not 100% completely agree, your weaknesses must always be improved to achieve better stability. Lin has to have just about the best BH timing in the circuit. His FH has improved a lot now. The fact that he is left-handed almost always gives up some advantage. This, together with his tactical...

Almost every player is vulnerable short on his FH. I don't know how this comes about but many players don't seem to have practised on short play balls on the FH. Some examples, D. Ovtcharov cannot push on his FH > uses his BH push for this. Harimoto does have a great FH flip but usually opts to...
