  1. Bounce test teaser!!!

    The Bluegrip C2 has smaller pores than Rakza Z. If you visually compare the pores on Tau II and Bluegrip C2, would you say Tau II has even smaller pores? That would be almost like H3. Thanks. (I'll stay with H3 but Tau II looks interesting.)
  2. Relax your Grip You !! Grip Matters.

    Cool, I see FZD doing this too with the thumb. Thanks a lot for the explanation. This middle-finger surprised me, that's all. I am better not going to be picky this time... Agree with your description of loose grip and 3 fingers barely touching the handle.
  3. Relax your Grip You !! Grip Matters.

    6.08 the middle-finger on the bat, touching index-finger. Edit: I posted a jpg image of it, but it is not shown :-(
  4. You be using TOO MUCH SHOUDLER You !!!

    Makes perfect sense, when the lower and upper chains are defined like that. It is the same thing. Here is another video from TTNuri, where he uses much more adept words than I did. In 4.07: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItdOuGOWRn8 "... while the angular velocity of the torso suddenly...
  5. Bounce test teaser!!!

    My tip: ESN, HT, CT, ESS, ESS. If you'd post 10 rubbers, we could pick 5 :-) Winner takes all! Yogi can participate, but only if he puts scarf over the eyes.
  6. Relax your Grip You !! Grip Matters.

    :-) I tend to think he knows what he's doing and we may be just lost in translation... I hope Der_Echte explains. Gamsahamnida :-)
  7. Relax your Grip You !! Grip Matters.

    Interesting. He leaves the ring-finger and pinkie in the air and puts the middle finger on the blade - untypically. What is the purpose of this exercise? The translation - is he really saying what the translation says? I'd think the most relaxed grip is when all fingers are equally relaxed -...
  8. You be using TOO MUCH SHOUDLER You !!!

    Thanks, that's it. I remember now, I remember that I couldn't quite relate to the split into acceleration of lower-body and then upper-body. For me personally it feels more natural to split into acceleration of body and then arm. But I believe these are just different ways to describe the same...
  9. Got Covid

    We didn't hear from you for so long that a thought occurred that your account was hacked :-) Considering, it would have been a better option... It's great to hear you are behind the worst point...
  10. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I didn't try to extract anything. I just repeated what he said. He said: For this reason, it is not possible to adjust to change hitting at the moment of impact. I didn't repeat it exactly (sorry, if this is the problem), but I meant just that. I hilited that part, because I think it is the...
  11. You be using TOO MUCH SHOUDLER You !!!

    My understanding of the extra shoulder-pull is that it is not really a pull. It can't be, there is nothing to hang on (in the sense of Achimedes "I shall move the earth"). Imo, it is just a motion caused by the preceding things in kinetic chain. There was a thread from IzetSpin2012, with great...
  12. Blade or Rubber?

    OK, my take. I think new-comers are confronted with the enormous ocean of choices. Thousands things, unclear how they relate. With blades, the most helpful page for me was https://ttgearlab.com/. Even though, they seemingly add just 1 more dimension to the speed, the hold/kick, it makes huge...
  13. Blade or Rubber?

    Oh, Lazer, I misunderstood. I thought you are telling me, that next time I go to the shop, you'll go with me IN, and let me buy you good blade AND good rubber ;-) Now, when I am no more afraid of it, I think you mean we should know what does it mean for the blade AND the rubber to be good. I...
  14. Blade or Rubber?

    Warrior's blade is the warrior's soul! P.S. M&P, don't misinterpret it :-)
  15. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    A good reminder of how we live in the past... It's good from start, at around 3:45 he explains it is physically impossible to do something at the moment of impact...
  16. Blade or Rubber?

    Recently I was in this shop, I forgot my credit card, just some cash, only enough to buy either good blade OR a good rubber. I didn't know what is more important... When this thread concludes, I'll for sure know what to do, when it happens next time :-) I was thinking, rather than knowing...

    Please slow these to min-speed and have a look at 1:43: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ9nKEFSib8 0:41, 0:48, 0:51, 1:43 (best) Other videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ_8tEhY_Ck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiARkUO6aEE When he hits the ground with the right foot, the movement...
  18. PALIO Ak47

    I had good experience with Playa PingPongStore and Chinese PingPong, and with Ali Battleship.
  19. PALIO Ak47

    If you want your forehand to be faster, you need to work on the technique, get lower, start from recognizing how your right foot (right-hander) pushes the ground, then how this propagates to make the leg, hips and body rotate, and the arm flies only as a secondary by-product. If your FH is then...
  20. PALIO Ak47

    Your pal gave you the best advice. I'd take the Blue on BH and Red on FH - you can then experience the difference in hardnesses and recognize little more what do you actually prefer... ... and then someone let's you try tacky chinese rubber :-) Btw. what's the name/model of your blade? Update...
