  1. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    Swyer syndrom, sometimes called XY female. I didn't know about it...
  2. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I know it's not about TT, but if I had to vote, what is the highest level at his personal peek, then I have to say, probably Andy Murray. You know I love Novak Djokovic, and he is for me the undisputed goat, but if I had to compare these 2 at a single point of their highest level, it would be...
  3. First Hurricane attempt

    We're doomed. As soon as we apply the single layer and we recognize the difference, we've crossed the event horizon, the point of no return. Well, assuming the 2nd condition, the feeling of response from the chinesse dense sponge... You see the dilemma, you say don't boost it's fine, but you...
  4. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    I think I tried to express that of course we can speak about diffs. between various chinese dense sponge rubbers, actually it is kind of interesting for me, but we need to be clear that these diffs. in behavior are miniscule in comparison to the differences between these rubbers (chinese dense...
  5. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    From another perspective... Regardless if I use R9, H3, DFVP, STN, it happens regularly that my opponents complain about the SLOWNESS of the rubber, and how it breaks their rhytm, and what a s... that is... and so on... So, it is a set of rubbers, which are similar to each other in this...
  6. Friendship 729 battle 3

    I didn't play with R9 H39 (only with H40,5) and I have the BD H38 on Viscaria on the BH, but I don't play with it now. So, with that said, I agree with @Westy, slower on slower impacts, maybe faster or faster impacts. But for me, the diff. in speed really doesn't matter here, both are not really...
  7. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    NL, I know you didn't ask for advice, so please bear with me. I want to mention one point, which is just one point, not necessarily so important, but I think it could help you to improve your FH a bit. And that is the usage of the non-playing hand. Imo, often you don't use your non-playing hand...
  8. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Patrick Franciska with his 6'3'' and his fluid athletic movements shows the way and motivates me (6'1").
  9. What brand of TT balls do you prefer?

    Double Fish (V40) is to DHS/Joola Prime as Joola Prime is to Joola Flash ;-) Gozo in manly mode... ... ok, the diff. is not that big ;-)
  10. What brand of TT balls do you prefer?

    This topic is somewhat actual for me. If I simplify, I think we can say that the most used balls in CR are the Joola Flash and the Joola Prime, and the opinions on the balls can be very very strong. In the higher leagues, the Prime is used and noone uses Flash, whereas in the lower leagues...
  11. Transfer robot practice

    Some robots can set random-level for each ball. If your robot can't do that, then you can play different balls, like BH, FH. The transition should at least partially break the stereotype/rhytm. Cheers. Edit: Working with the couch maybe 2x better than playing with partner, and playing with...
  12. Sanwei target national new version

    Today will be my 3rd practise with the STN and GearHyper. I was quite curious what will be the difference between the R9 and the STN. You know I like R9 a lot, but the STN, I can play with it. It does have a bit lower throw indeed, but not so much it would be disturbing. The sponges have similar...
  13. Sanwei target national new version

    I've ordered the STN (new version), H40 and Sanwei GearHyper H37, from @harty. Summer Sanwei madness. Edit: Quick delivery today - the next day. I've measured the hardness, the STN H40 is cca 51 on my Type O durometer, which is more like H39 actually. But the old Rxton 9 H40,5 has almost the...
  14. What the H3LL did I get myself into this time....

    I sometimes train with a guy, better than me, it's feels like he plays there instinctively... I want that ;-)
  15. What the H3LL did I get myself into this time....

    Explore ;-) Edit: Edit: Sorry, I didn't want to sound cryptic. There is this "space", you could say in between ZJK and ML, and you can explore it. I'm not speaking about level, obviously. You can first see the differences, then you can understand them, and then you can experiment with it...
  16. What the H3LL did I get myself into this time....

    You're before a tournament, you should enjoy it amap. Now is not really a time for improvement... But you are asking. So when you're back, there is one thing I'd cautiously suggest: Learn from your non-playing hand. What I mean, is when playing FH topspin, be aware of the movement of your...
  17. What the H3LL did I get myself into this time....

    I think Tony was afraid it can get philosophical real quick, so he just kept it at the lowest common denominator ;-) So, common Gozo, you play for fun, and you know it. But what's the fun? What's the fun points for you??? Tell me... It almost looked like you're losing the sight of the fun...
  18. Is this bad form? Or am I overacting.

    Two points: 1. It looks like (from the whole description) he just doesn't mean any harm. The intention matters. However, you really need to get into state, where this has no influence on you, regardless of the intention (which it's hard to be sure about). It is not hard to get there. Other...
  19. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    I'm making a full moon out of it right now...
  20. DHS H3 and all versions

    NTH3PTB is for hulks. I want to see someone bottoming the NTH3PTB out, and then saying, hey, what's this toy, give me some real rubber finally. Quality is high, higher than H3 prov.
