  1. Everything about WCQ

    Probably no previous CNT main players has as controversial reputation among chinese TT fans as WCQ. There are many WCQ fans following him and supporting him everywhere. On the other hand, many Tieba and other amateur players do not like him even a little bit. A lot of people even considered it a...
  2. Advice to improve my game.

    I would recommend bending your wrist backward to play the backhand and contacting the ball close to your body. For backhand, I think it is better for you to practice to drive with your paddle perpendicular to the incoming ball to have better feel and to borrow more power from the income ball.
  3. What is a compact stroke?

    Most adult amateurs usually started the learning curve with powerful spinny loops, and fast powerful spinny serves by applying pure hard uncontrolled power. From what I saw, most people actually did not know what is the right approach to practice to improve. I also saw many coaches in the clubs...
  4. What is a compact stroke?

    Compact strokes are actually harder to learn. One would have learned how to use the body power and relax to have an effective compact strokes. For beginners, it is better to learn it step by step, learn to use body first or just snap forearm first. Most beginners make mistakes to learn powerful...
  5. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    Here comes the question again, is the dominance of china in table tennis fading? It has never happened before in this century that china won 3:2 twice in like five hours and both wins were coming back wins from 1:2 down. With no promising young players and senior members getting older, will...
  6. What are the must try composite blades from common Chinese brands such as DHS, Yinhe, SANWEI and Sword?

    I have a Yinhe Pro01x. It is a softer, more controlled Viscaria. You can spin more, but with a little less power. Pro01 is probably about the same. Pro01x Max is probably better?, but more expensive than a viscaria with not much resell value
  7. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    More interesting match between France and Taiwan. What is your bet? Taiwan has better chances? I think it all comes down to whether Alexi can play well.
  8. Is there a blade similar to the Butterfly Garaydia ZLC?

    For cheap alternatives, there are some Yinhe blades that have similar structure.
  9. Is it worth it to learn how to replace rubber yourself?

    Gluing rubbers' will not damage your blade, but might damage your rubbers if you need to remove the old glue layers on the rubbers.
  10. Is it worth it to learn how to replace rubber yourself?

    It depends on how much time you play every week. If you only play one hour to two hours on weekends, there is really no need to learn how to glue. One good paddle will last one year or two for you. And a lot of people will consider gluing paddle is the most interesting part of table tennis...
  11. Is there a blade similar to the Butterfly Garaydia ZLC?

    Amultart and Victas Niwa ZC? Hinoki + ZLC?
  12. Alternative for Viscaria Super ALC

    ZQH-90 costs about $130, while super viscaria about $180 with discount. What is the point to replace super viscaria with ZQH-90? And you might have little chance to sell a ZQH-90 at a decent price.
  13. Any advices for my forehand Topspin?

    1. recommend recording full body including leg/foot video 2. Seems right leg is too much behind left leg 3. too much upward, not enough forward motion 4. arm motion is not following after leg/body motion
  14. New Bat suggestion - offers greater spin and is excellent for smashing/ shots

    Get a Viscaria/Boll alc. Or better, a super Viscaria if money is not an issue. And no need to worry for another blade for ten years.
  15. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    1.9mm D09 has much better feel than max D05
  16. Should I boost my Dignics09C ?

    Only use Falcon to use ESN or Japan rubbers. Seamoon or Haifu is a bit too much.
  17. Should I boost my Dignics09C ?

    Usually no need for a new sheet. But for a used one, one thin layer of Falcon Long makes it lively again. But two layers might make it too soft. D05 actually reacts better to Falcon Long than D09C in my experience.
  18. Stiga Inspira Hybrid Carbon

    Inpira Hybrid Carbon is indeed a mixture of soft and hard carbon. It has good feel at soft touch and can produce a cracking sound when hitting hard. It is pretty good for slow spinny loop, probably better than Boll alc. The control and block is pretty good as well maybe due to harder carbon?
