    Thats why we should not buy it at all .. let them bring it to the same price point as Tenergy or lower :P and we can think of buying it .... lol
  2. Butterfly Dignics 05 Rubber Review

    Nothing will ever be worth paying 105 USD for a sheet ... don't get me wrong I own few of the of the more expensive equipments and have used Butterfly stuff a lot but this is just ridiculous

    I would incorporate some relaxing "pre" motions before serve and receive to get the nervous energy out of the system ... e.g before receiving serve do something like He Zhiwen does where he a quick on the spot waddling motion ( for want of a better description ) to get his legs moving and...

    Der_Echte has invaded the bay area for a 2 day mission. Unfortunately my health ( tonsilitis and tennis elbow ) has taken me off action for almost six weeks now , so I could not host Der this time around and David is doing the honors. However, that does not mean we are not making trouble. After...

    find a happy medium ... like get the advise from the coach in the group class and then practice them with your friend ..
  7. typical semi-beginner questions

    Since you are a tennis player, the best way I can think of to explain how to plan your game in table tennis is to give the example of federer playing baseline rallies not when he is playing one two punch , you can see how he controls the opponent with spin and variation ... I would suggest get...

    Don't get me wrong , I was not trying to belittle your improvement or anything ... I have experienced this myself .. I play against mostly one or two people regularly and its difficult to quantify the improvement ... what I have experienced is that if you are playing just one or two people , its...

    I am not being ageist .. but you need to play against players of different age as well ... even if older players have a higher rating they will normally play in a style where they slow down the game to their advantage ... sometimes its good to get some games in against players who go boom boom...

    no more points for you !!! but to be honest , unless you do a few tourneys its very difficult to judge your playing level ... sometimes you just adapt to the play of a couple of guys you are playing against and it seems like you are improving but may be you have some more holes to fill which...

  14. What rubber and blade to use for maximum speed and spin or either of them.

    video of you playing would help to give people context ... otherwise you can expect these kind of answers ... there is no single equipment solution for everybody .. it varies with your level and technique ..
  15. Practice with lower level players.

    If you don't have coach , don't have practice partner .. the only solution I can think of is .... 1. Learn and Practice a lot of serves 2. Practice a lot of forehand smashes 3. Put long pips on your backhand , and use it to receive serve and block down / push most balls using backhand and...
  16. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    You don't have to point this out OSP ... most of us already know that :D .... gotcha .. I have been waiting too long !!
  17. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    OSP ... I would agree with 10 and 4 ... 9 and 3 is too extreme ... I think the point is you don't do your backhand with your right foot in front .. so be in a FH position where you have to do minimal changes to hit a BH .. I don't think you can do decent forehand loops from 9 and 3 .. that is...

    Does he stop mid rally if the number of hits with a particular side exceeds the limit ? .. ROFLAO

    Hmmmm .. .I am not sure they want ... and you know I prefer to drive back on an empty stomach to prevent nodding off on the wheel ...
  20. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Yes, I know the U2100 and U200 Adults field is loaded but I had no other option given the timing of the doubles ... don't know if I will be able to do any damage in singles , but at least they have to return my serves if and when I land them :)
