  1. New Rule Approved! Coaching Between Points 2016!

    I need to understand how coaching happens between points? Can the player walk over there (like in the picture) to get that coaching? Would that terribly slow down the game? I'm assuming it's with like some hand gestures or whatever and the players have to keep playing? Can someone explain how...
  2. Adhesive vs non-adhesive protection film

    I like the adhesive ones but IMO they're a bit of a rip off. ex: two butterfly sheets are $3.99. That and I find they get dirty quickly. Furthermore, when I order from China-friend on ebay, hey always throws in a non-adhesive rubber protector sheet so I just use those. Now back to the topic...
  3. STIGA Genesis Soft & Medium Rubber Review

    Good stuff. Nice review. Informative and I like the comparison two T05 just to give people a frame of reference. Well done.
  4. What did FZD say to Dan ??

    I can read lips. I believe it was... "I don't understand why you just don't hit it here and kill it. So easy. Now do it." He gets his coaching style from Liu Guoliang. :p
  5. Best balls

    I'd agree with this. That's why i ranked them. While they play very similar, I prefer the sound of the Gambler ball say to that Yinhe ball. I don't think if our club switched to NP 40 we'd save any more. I don't recall a time that a seamless ball has cracked (at least in recent memory) just...
  6. Best balls

    I buy the balls for our club so price is a factor. I don't care how good a ball is. 3 some dollars per ball IMO is highway robbery. Particularly when there are not good but great balls as alternatives for 1/2 that cost. I'm a seamless fan for sure. My favorite ball is the Gambler 3 Star ball...
  7. How do you banana flick?

    Impossible to know for sure what's going on without video. That should be step one. What NL posted should be all you need but just in case, here's another. No shortage of videos on how to perform this stroke. I've been using this stroke (RPB) at club with success. I try to keep my mind...
  8. Removing Rubbers That have been glued with a Glue Sheet

    I used to use gluesheets for OX rubbers. But after a painful experience of trying to get that rubber off, no more. I was able to get the rubber off but the glue sheet was firmly stuck to my blade. I had to heat gun & rub it with my finger to get it off. I'd say all in all it took about 2 hours...
  9. My table tennis drawings :)

    I dig your work man. Well done.
  10. At the moment, who do you consider greater: Ma Long or Zhang Jike?

    When you comparing two players to say who is better, it's hard for me to ignore a 12-5 head to head match record.
  11. Fundamentals of shakehand vs penhold grip

    Oh boy penhold grip & RPB. Here we go. I grew up being taught TPB by my brother. I posted this video years ago talking about more curled finger approach. Interestingly enough, I like this curled fingers approach if you twiddle. I did that for a long time playing inverted on one side LP on the...
  12. Cleaning rubbers !

    there use to be this cleaner that was called Kinetix Rubber Revitalizer but they stopped making it. Shame as that stuff was amazing. Could bring back almost any rubber back form the dead. If anybody knows what they put in that stuff or something they claim to be just as good, let me know. As...
  13. Problem boosting rubber

    Yeah I've applied boost before the glue. It works fine and your rubber will dome. But I will say this. Do not ever do the boost before glue method on any DHS rubber. To me that's a guaranteed bubble. But any other rubber? no problem.
  14. Zhang Jike Will Retire After Rio Olympics 2016!

    "Don't worry Fan. I'll challenge you." Sincerely, Harimoto Tomokazu :eek: :p
  15. Zhang Jike Will Retire After Rio Olympics 2016!

    Okay who you got as the mens gold medal winner in Tokoyo in 2020? FZD or the field? I'm taking FZD.
  16. Walking the Talk: My drop shot collection 60fps

    I think the pingskills video summed it up the best. IMO if you want to practice a drop shot, you need to go to a club, have someone lob to you. Practice your smashes a few times then mix in that drop shot. I don't see how one can accurately practice this shot on their own. I think it'd be too...
  17. Regarding h3, and boosting

    It's frowned upon to boost? chuckle. Either it's boosted in the factory or you do it yourself. Makes no difference to me other than the ability to save a ton of money in rubber costs. I don't play in ITTF sanctioned tournaments, just play in local non-sanctioned ones, so it's really a...
  18. Rio Olympics 2016 (Singles Event)

    lol. I made this exact statement to my wife last night. Totally agree.
  19. Ma Long vs Zhang Jike Final FIXED???

    Get that tin foil off the heads boys. No way. Yeah ZJK, who has worked all his life, with his past success and what it'd do for his legacy, is just going to willing lay down because he was told to do so. No way. Early on he was trying to give it a go. It wasn't working. At this point in their...
