Really like NDH's post. I'd follow that. I'll share this story I had when I first learned to play at 19 I think. Anyways, got a premade bat. Got better. I think about a year or two down thinking "it's time to upgrade" and bought a Yasaka Mark V Special Edition paddle with Mark V rubbers max...

Got a question for you guys. How long do you give a rubber before you decide if it's not for you or if you simply need time to adapt to it. I have been playing H3 Neo commercial on my FH for probably close to a year. Around the holidays, family members gifted to me a sheet of Gambler Burst...

Can guarantee you it was a point where Xu Xin was smashing vs lobs. That's the only time any CNT member twiddles from their Hurricane FH to Tenergy. I thought Xu Xin's approach vs FZD & Lin Gaoyuan was apparent and a good one. Clearly he was encouraged to stay at the table and don't passively...

I've seen that catch of his probably 5 ish times now and I always thought two primary things - He's got great touch - That hurricane must be really sticky But I just assumed he twiddled upon the catch. Just noticed now he did that with the RPB side. That's flat out crazy.

lol. "modern day body shaming" Oh brother. Lighten up Francis. It was a joke. Life is too short if you let a little comment like mine upset you that much.

Whenever I play anyone with long pips, I almost always serve long, dead & fast to their long pips. When the chop comes back long off the table, you just forehand loop regardless. No questions asked. I'm not trying to make it sound like with this statement "I beat all LP choppers" because I...

You don't make it immediately uncomfortable for everybody else to watch??? :p :p Can we start a gofundme page for Jean-Michel Saive to invest in a simple pair of biker shorts? (ain't nobody wanna see is) ;)

Options on this will vary but I generally believe that there's about a 5-ish % difference between rubbers. Maybe 10% IDK but that's not the point of my post. I hit with H3 neo commercial. A rubber I think I got for $20. Just last week the best player at our club, this kid who is 14 I think and...

Well i'm a left handed penholder. Have played dual inverted a fair amount but was raised on the TPB and that's what comes natural to me so my main, probably best setup is inverted FH, TPB as normal. Long pips on the RPB side for the occasional chop and/or bump. Styles differ but I can tell you...

I think your technique looks pretty good. Compact stroke vs ball coming back fast. Trunk & legs rotation used, etc. Do you work with a coach? What does he or she say? I would follow their advice probably more than anything since they're working with you. Based on what I see here, I'm assuming...

to the OP. THIS. Can be your main competition ball. Your practice ball. The price is right.

Don't know what to tell ya other than I can relate. Things that have happened to me over the years that drive me crazy: - Ball clipping one of my fingers on RPB - Completely whiffing on a FH loop. (I generally try to hit the ball pretty thin for spin so this comes with the territory from time...

I use to play short pips way back in the day and I remember the feeling back then when my inverted training partner passed me up. Always felt like he was the hammer and I was the nail as he simply could attack a higher % of balls. And that's simply the truth of inverted vs short pips. With short...

Sigh. Just honestly not surprised by Butterfly. For them $90 sounds about right. And some people will be dumb enough to do it thinking it'll change their game greatly. IDK man. Just isn't my thing. I mean unless you're say over USATT 2100 and up, does it really matter? At that level or lower...

I'm not trying to troll here but I'm telling you, it's not the equipment for why you're not improving. The best player at our club hit with my setup (grand total costs roughly $80 ish for blade & rubbers) and it was CLEAR he could play pretty much the same as his normal $200+ setup. It's...

Well I'm generally not too picky. Kinda a go with the flow kinda guy so it's not like I hate this ball. But... If you ask me which is the worse? I'll tell you Nittaku 3-Star Premium 40+ Balls all day long. This isn't for shock value. I know a lot of people like them but here's reasoning. 1 -...

It's a tough question. Any professional I see play who is a pinch on the chubby size and you know is playing 8 hours a day only tells me that maybe some people are just born with certain body types and there's just not a whole lot they can do about it. (shrugging shoulders)

Got a new robot for my birthday. HP-07 It's a two headed robot I got for $200 and it's too early to give a full review but I have a very good feeling about this. I think it'll be worth it's weight in gold. Coming from my previous Newgy RoboPong 540, which is a 1-wheel robot, this is a huge...

So if I'm understanding correctly. When the ball has backspin and they open up, you can block that ball back but if you actively try to counter loop it back, it tends to go long. This is one of those shots that I'm sure a lot of people will have different opinions on as we all have different...
