people please be careful, this topic is a year old, I sold this blade, someone please lock it !

well you have to be patient and practice a lot, I tried doing it by imparting small amounts of spin and still I managed to do it after 50-100 consecutive efforts lol. I suppose I will need 1000 tries to get it on my bat with maximum spin

its a very good exercise that will improve your short game,hand eye co ordination and wrist flexibility. When I was training very often I could grab a no spin ball with ease. Now its difficult for me to do it, I need lots of practice. To grab a no spin ball isnt much of a task after consitent...

exactly! after several hours of practice anyone can do this trick with a no spin ball. But with sidespin it must be even more difficult, u need to follow throw correctly because of the sidespin so that the ball stays on the paddle

God given talent is only the 5 % of success, hard and quality training is the answer. Without natural talent of course you cannot reach top50 in my opinion. Eventually you need both to excel

Yes sometimes he raises his elbow too high, this is perfect technique for close to the table play but when he is in mid distances he needs to have a bigger swing stretching his arm like you said

It would be nice to upload a video of Fred during a match. This way we could see his overall behaviour/technique and make some suggestions

Your dedication is admirable mister! I think its time for multiball feeding and more complicated exercises. His backhand is very good, his FH is also very consistent but I ve spotted a small "mistake". He doesnt turns his waist correctly from his left foot to the right. Most of the time he...

I suggest haifu, same effect but cheaper than dian chi. It also has 120ml more in the bottle, totally worths the money!

And some corrections to previous posts : WLQ has two not one olympic bronze medals 2004 & 2008. WH has won two doubles world championships (2005 with kong linghui and 2009 with chen qi) overall I think WLQ is a bit better but not "greater" player than the other two

They are all great in my view. Perhaps Wang Liqin has a greater fighting spirit against the other two. Wang Hao was unfortunate in the olympics 2004 facing RSM in the form of his life. Some conspiracy theory lovers say that head coach liu guoliang set up the semi final because WH had much better...

Mario Amizic is definetely the greatest coach in Europe (head coach in the WSA also). Along with Jan Ove Waldner he has implemented the modern era FH loop style that we see in Europe top players. The almighty japanese have also been training as kids with Mario Amizic (in fact his training was...

The reason your serve is crappy and high sometimes is because you dont look at the ball when it is falling and you focus more on your movement. Dont focus too much on your movement and try to watch the ball carefully and synchronize with it

Well, there is no black or white situation here like if it is playable or not. First of all we must all agree on what we mean by the term "playable" Playable for me is spinny and fast at the same time, I cant have both when I am playing with a non boosted tacky rubber. Playable also refers to...

Chinese rubbers with extreme tackiness like the hurricane were invented to be boosted. The first version (around 2000 I think) was made especially for speed gluing. They are extremely spinny but hold the ball just too much and dont throw it back out with efficient speed (this means you have to...

Well, the fact that he can still play and win opponents much younger and faster than him is admirable. But dude really...when he does that thing with his hands I am like : Stop it you @%@%%^#&^%$

In fact when he was young he could cope up with fast rhythms close to the table. As he gets older and slower, going away from the table to counterloop or lob is the only way to break through when his opponent attacks hard.

Akerstrom deserved to be in the Swedish National Team long ago. He is a player with great variety in his shots. He is always entertaining to watch :) He caused serious headaches to Ovtcharov back in 2009. Fantastic & smart play with the twiddling of his paddle!

nice try :)
