  1. I need new equipament

    I think Iskandar is a secret bat-thrower. He needs a bazilliin M8s because when he misses an easy smash at 9-10 he tears them to bits with his bare hands. Just a guess.
  2. Japan Women's Race to Tokyo 2020 Singles

    If Hirano was the much better player that day why did she lose?
  3. I need new equipament

    Good point. Always need a backup for competition. And you can use it to test rubbers later.
  4. I need new equipament

    Buy it! TB CAF plus 2x rozena sounds excellent.
  5. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    How many fhs have you hit the old way you do it now? All you have to do to change to a new fh is hit the same number the new way, without mixing in any old-way ones. Easy!
  6. Older blades are better

    LOL I have cheap knockoff KT tape from aliexpress on my ankle right now. IDC if it is only placebo effect as long as it lets me keep playing through minor injuries. But then I also buy lottery tickets and use a blade "made according to the principles used in making string instruments."
  7. Upgrade question

    Of course it is an upgrade. The Donic blade costs 3x the price of the Sanwei, so ipso facto it must be 3x as good in all table tennis qualities, speed spin control dwell time gears vibration etc.
  8. Older blades are better

    That and pros know changing their blade will not make them a better player.
  9. Older blades are better

    No. And no.
  10. New blade

    Get the TB CAF. YOLO
  11. Rozena, Tenergy 05fx, Tenergy 64

    +1 adding a very small weight to the handle changes the balance a lot.

    Why, in case an occidental wins one? Hahahahahahahahaha [wipes tears from eyes]
  13. Help me improve!

    Take 100% of the time you are spending on fh topspin and use it to practice serve and receive instead. Your fh is fine, and I'm pretty sure it is ahead of your serve and receive game. If you really want to improve fast switch half your backhand topspin practice time also.
  14. Your currently-fine blade vs Newly tried and you-really-like blade

    By the new blade used ona TT forum. Play with it for a couple weeks until you realize the blade isn't that different and you still play like you do now. Then sell the new blade (slightly more used) on the same TT forum. Roundtrip if you don't ding the blade should be only $25 - $35. I have...
  15. Chinese Women's Team vs USA Men's Team 2019

    Neither of you have enough data points to draw meaningful conclusions so agreeing to disagree is a very reasonable plan. Are there any stats on worldwide how many men play competitive TT vs how many women? Because if the pool for one gender is 80 million and the other is 20 million, the...
  16. 2019 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals

    That's why people don't want to serve to the side or in front unless forced.
  17. saying Thank you to your rival

    That's okay if you are friends, training partners, or whatever. Not for people you don't really know, that's just rude
  18. Forehand rubber recommendation for my Zebarate

    If you have been playing beginner-level players the first time you face a more serious player with proper equipment you will not be able to adjust. The spin is going to be so much more. If you play with him for five or six hours you will get used to it. You may want to change the R7soft...
  19. 2019 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals

    Since my posts are never clear, let me qualify in advance. How much spin does body rotation contribute? Not quality by virtue of hiding, quality in the ball produced independent of any receiver.
  20. 2019 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals

    How much does the body rotation contribute to the quality of the serves for somebody like Mima? 0%? 50? In between? I have no idea, but I think it contributes something significant, at the margins they are dealing with.
