  1. ITTF Korean Open 2019

    The surface in tennis completely changes the game. It massively dwarfs any effects of table or ball in table tennis. Tennis going from clay to grass would be more akin to changing from inverted to sandpaper in terms of the scale. Better players are still better overall, but the order changes...
  2. World veterans tour in usa

    That would be a fun way to lose in the O-50s wouldn't it.
  3. Any advice on how to smash a winner?

    Twiddle to snash then
  4. Any recommendations on Mizunos?

    My only recommendation is if you get the wave medal 6, order a size smaller than your usual.
  5. Short Topspin Serve with Pendulum Motion

    The long side top serve into the body is more effective anyway. If people read the short topspin they get in fast and smack the hell out of it, because it's hard to get short, topspin, and low on the same ball. You can have any two out of the three pretty easy, but all three is hard.
  6. safety when playing doubles

    I would try to partner with only one or a small set of players and ask them politely not to hit the ball out of turn. I would say that to anyone you partner with. Explaining that you were hit and injured and it makes you not want to play should be enough for anyone with any kind of manners...

  11. Is it worth serving short ? - for amateurs

    No one says never to serve spin to long pips, they say not to serve sidespin. Backspin and no spin are fine. In fact they are almost mandatory vs lp bc you can't serve anything else.
  12. Is it worth serving short ? - for amateurs

    I said situationally it may not make sense. Imagine a tall chopper with LP bh and long arms who reaches in and bumps every short serve back with the pips, making some nasty-ass mystery spin ball. Is there any reason to give him another short serve?
  13. Is it worth serving short ? - for amateurs

    Amateur covers a lot of ground. It depends on who you are playing and how good your serves are. Sometimes it definitely isn't worth serving short. If you are playing a defender for example. Those still exist among us amateurs.
  14. Need some quick tips for an upcoming tournament?

    Try to get a good night's sleep the night before the tournament.
  15. Elbow Pain

    It's not going to help an injury that has already happened, but I have found kino tape to be really good at preventing mild overuse from becoming an injury. And it's cheap and can't do any harm. I am surprised more weekend athletes don't use it.
  16. China Open 2019

    Why are all-china finals boring? It's an individual sport. I don't get this idea.
  17. China Open 2019

    Maybe Ito just played better today than vs SYS? Ito doesn't have the consistent level of the top CNT. But since she attacks everything, almost always the match is played on her terms win or lose.
  18. Is the rasanter r47 any good ?

    No, R47 is rubbish.
  19. Please help me choose my perfect setup.

    Go with the goldarc 8. Internet reviews are extremely reliable and you should always uae them when selecting equipment.
  20. Is this service situation a let?

    If the ball is broken at any time during a point it's a let. I learned this at a tournament when I smashed the ball for a winner and my opponent took a let bc the ball broke on my smash. That was lame, but he was correct about the rule. So in your scenario you could serve the ball and then...
