I had a revenge match vs someone who I beat me I last played years ago. The theme was he kept serving me long and fast to my BH and in my arrogance I thought "he can't give me that". And I missed a lot of Bh loops. Fast forward years later. I know I'm better now but I remembered his style. Yep...

preach it. For people who like to smash, the just block it back is almost sure death.

I practice vs a partner who has one of his FH serves pretty darn fast, dead and towards my BH. So it's exactly what you're talking about. Now I play penhold with inverted & long pips so on my backhand I can choose how I want to return the ball either with inverted or long pips but for the sake...

I show Kaii Yoshida make it up to 32 world ranking in 2015. And 38 in 2016. That's certainly world class. When was the ITTF plastic ball switch? I'm thinking 2014 going off memory. So it could be done if someone was the right player in their prime.

RSM would still be world class. And he had his run winning an Olympics where he was on fire. But would he beat Ma Long, who many consider to be the GOAT or FZD today? Hmm. hard for me to see that. I think a Jpener could still be world class. Maybe not #1 but world class if they're that good &...

Back when i was playing SPs, I had an excel list of SP penholders I liked to watch to try to pick up stuff from their game. Most of them were 38mm era but I'll paste what I had just in case. Some notable ones that come to mind that I particularly like. - Jaiqi Zheng. (same style as Tin Tin Ho...

USATT balls for events is either Nittaku, Butterfly or the Joola ball. But around here most people play the Nittaku ball because that's what's most common in tournaments. Our club uses the DHS D40+ ball. It's more affordable and I think it's vastly superior to the Nittaku ball. I honestly don't...

Well we won't see it all that often given how good he is but I always enjoy watching someone stick it to Harimoto. I'm over his yelling thing and get that's just who he is. No biggie. But that being said, I'm still not a fan of it so when he gets it put on him, I don't mind one bit. ;)

TSP Spectol Red was the fastest thing I've ever played with on pips. I loved the new tuned sponge on that rubber. But I hated the Spectol topsheet. And I thought 802 was a classic SP. 802 was far & away spinner than Spectol which is borderling MP if you ask me. Anyways. If you like a classic...

I tried it out briefly (so probably not long enough to get a full, fair review of it) when it was all the rage in some forum where everybody loved it sometime back. Was just meh for me. I Like H3 Neo much more personally.

Well I think it's a mistake to go too soft sponge with Chinese tacky but Geospin tacky is pretty soft. So is Gambler Wraith. Neither of which though is as tacky as H3 IMO. Few things are. Except Battle 2. But that's a hard sponge. I get it. You want to be a spin monster. You want to loop and...

Had to revive this thread to see what you guys think or where you get your DHS D40+ (maybe you've moved to a different ball) from. Our club has been ordering DHS D40+ for some time now from TTNPP. About a month ago or so, our local university club traveled to play & train at a professional...

Good video. Obviously I'm sure Dan would have liked to pull it out but when it's 3-2 | 12-10 in the final, really that's about as even as it gets. IMO not really about one player better than another. Just who happens to hit a few of those critical final hits in or not. Could be different next...

I've have H3 Neo commercial on my FH. I like it. It's about 3+ months old and I got some boost. I didn't have any before. Falco Long. Boosted it and I've got to say the spin jump was nice. Now this was coming form an older Chinese rubber than had never been boosted and certainly lost pretty...

Trolls will be trolls. He just was waiting for an opportunity to take a shot no matter how much of a stretch it is. He is not the 1st nor the last to be down on the US. We understand there will always be those who are jealous out there. It happens.

Probably need more explanation of what you mean playing with players with no ball feeling? Are you saying they make a lot of mistakes & easy touch play errors? Anyways. I like playing less experienced players every now & then to practice looping vs low spin or almost no-spin. Particularly if...

So here's what you can expect in this thread. You will get a lot of advice on what you should do. And it will be sound, good advice. It'll be what pros would do, etc. Here's the thing. We're all amateurs here and if you're like me, you'll miss more than you like giving away easy points which...

Speaking of forum members who haven't been around in a while. Seriously what's up with OSP? Is he okay?

Hey OSP. Was just thinking the other day you haven't posted in forever. Just checking on you. You doing okay?

I boosted my H3 Neo for the first time with Falco Long. I had used Falco Tempo (I don't think they make that anymore) some time back and never thought it made much of a difference. That wasn't the case this time. The speed and more importantly spin was a nice boost. Only 1 week with it but...
