  1. Harimoto loses to balding Grandpa

    It is not just his speed but mainly his reactivity. That is obviously not bad but is not top compared to other top players and certainly not in the following movement BH > FH > FH > Body > FH. After this series, he hesitates for a split second and is too late because he doubts whether the next...
  2. 26th Asian Table Tennis Championship

    Unbelievable mistakes by Wang CQ. And those mistakes are untold balls across the table.:oops:
  3. Harimoto loses to balding Grandpa

    And I had only just written this about Harimoto... I'am not surprised.
  4. 26th Asian Table Tennis Championship

    And he already has/had not the fastest reaction time
  5. A somewhat flexible composite blade with a soft feeling

    The basalt mats I come across has to be 200g/m2. I've always wondered how this is glued to wood. With epoxy glue?
  6. A somewhat flexible composite blade with a soft feeling

    I'm curious about your experiences with this.
  7. A somewhat flexible composite blade with a soft feeling

    Lol, that price!:oops: Haven't you asked Sergio to make a similar yet?
  8. Is it possible to improve with only robot training?

    :LOL: Yes that's possible!;)
  9. Is it possible to improve with only robot training?

    No, game is not correct either. ;) You are going to get your stroke under control though or even improve (maybe) if it is good. If you learn the stroke incorrectly and nobody points it out to you, it's not going to be anything in the long run. You are not going to improve your game at all...
  10. Is it possible to improve with only robot training?

    No one wrote that you could not improve with a robot. The TS asked if you could only get higher with a robot. No, you can't. You have to be coached and you will have to have an opponent to learn how to play matches and all that goes with it. Sure, you can learn and/or improve your strokes via a...
  11. For those over 30yo, what could you have done differently?

    I played with this for many years, on both knees. Until they gave me a new left knee at the age of 49 and a new one for the other side 1.5 years later.
  12. Major League TT

    That's exactly what I mean. Most players who play WTT have sky-high expenses. I don't think sponsors and/or national organizations can continue to finance this, not to mention the organizers. If you see what the spectator numbers were in the Feeder of Olomouc...Too much from everything. I see in...
  13. Major League TT

    As far as I know, the Chicago player almost never plays WTT tournaments, only competition in 5 different countries. What I already wondered in my first contribution, I don't know if all those playing options, both competition and WTT, benefit the players. "All about the money" but I fear more...
  14. I wanna play with the big boys!

    Perseverance can help a lot in this. But not everyone will or can muster this, depends a lot on your character of course. But that can also be said about the equipment player. Why didn't he continue to get better with double inverted rubbers? I find even more interesting to find out. ;)
  15. I wanna play with the big boys!

    Oh but suddenly you change the level (2700 vs 1500) that is irrelevant. I have seen several very good players (top 50 players = 2500/2700) struggle against many players of a much lower level because they were playing with technical material. They usually won in the end anyway but with a lot of...
  16. I wanna play with the big boys!

    There is indeed truth in what you write but it always doesn't have to be that way. I am well past 60+ now and have never played with technical equipment. However, I started playing table tennis fairly late (16 years old). But I did have a good and solid training in club and apprenticeships...
  17. Major League TT

    Sure they do, I clarify for a moment, at least 1 player from the Chicago team played in 5 different (international)/national clubs/teams last season, competing at the highest level and in some he even played champion in that particular country.
  18. Major League TT

    What we are seeing in the last two years is no longer an evolution but rather becoming a revolution in table tennis. I wonder if this is for the benefit of players, organisers and audiences. The TT calendar is already overcrowded. I see players playing in 5-6 different national leagues. Is this...
