It is hard to keep your serve low and short with a high ball toss without a lot of practice. If your opponents are able to flat hit your high-toss backspin serve, most likely the top of the bounce on the opponent's side is simply too high. Try contacting the ball as close to net height on your...

Have a look at Dora Kurimay's "Get your game face on!" - it has a number of very useful and practical tips on how to deal with pressure in TT. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Your-Game-Face-Table-Tennis-ebook/dp/B0073V98C0

The hype surrounding Big Dipper is almost reaching Palio Thor's level.

2:2 Both players are playing very well. Both deserve to win.

And now feeling silly and preparing to eat humble pie. Go Baggaley!

Shmyrev is going to win it. He is the only one who is playing ping pong, while everyone else is playing table tennis. All these loop-like strokes ain't gonna cut it.

Another software engineer. Sounds like TT is the sport of choice for us ...

Basically, if you don't brush the ball during serving, and instead tap the ball flat, then the result will be float. Of course, you need to keep it low, otherwise it will be killed. If you want to add deception to the serve, and be able to serve both spinny and floating balls with a similar...

The effect of boosting H3 is only really noticeable when playing topspin rallies away from the table. So if rallying is your primary point winning tactic, then go for it. Otherwise, and especially, if this is your first experience with an H3-like rubber, don't bother. You can always do it later.

What a pathetic troll.

That's basically how I feel too.

Actually, it is important. There is much more at stake for professional TT players, and they would do anything, especially as simple as this, to tilt the outcome in their favour. So if giving away the serve actually worked for them, they'd be doing it. In other words, very likely, it is...

Has anyone ever seen a top chinese player like Ma Long or ZJK to give away the serve?

If you read the article carefully, then you'd notice that there are two very important conditions: 1. The assumption that 85% of players who get to 5 first end up winning, from an article in China Sports daily. The article says: "Statistics shows that 85 percent of the players who first reach...

The statement "Unlike other rubbers, H3N requires good technique and footwork, with the implied 'otherwise it is unplayable'" has always perplexed me. Seems like an urban myth perpetuated on many TT forums. Good technique and footwork are a plus regardless of the equipment being used. It is a...

In short, don't change your rubber at all. As Der_Echte wrote, H3N is perfectly fine for any kind of loops.

Bluefires have a reputation for being heavily factory boosted, so some loss of speed and spring after 3 months is to be expected, unless you reboost. However, 70hrs over 3 months is not enough to make the topsheet lose grip. Do you apply a sticky protective sheet to the rubber when you're not...

The dream of any woman come true - have a pervy man take her photos of her crotch. This "promotes" table tennis in exactly the same way as Big Bang Theory "promotes" science.

According to the latest ITTF rankings (Nov 2014), http://www.ittf.com/ittf_ranking/, Aruna Quadri is world #30! Congratulations!

TB ZLF is not that much slower than TB ALC, it has higher dwell time, and some would argue that it has much better "feeling". So if you're a looper, get the ZLF and enjoy it.
