EMG measures activity, not force, does not indicate which fiber types are firing.

Very little of the force needed to generate stroke force on the BH comes from biceps. Mostly its role is postural. The motor units are not "twitching" rather they are supporting the forearm (but they do engage more on the follow through as suppination occurs ) The force mostly comes from...

I ended up giving mine away. It seemed to not affect the quality of the glue job, maybe because I don't boost. And with WBG I don't glue each day anymore.

Nothing wrong with experimenting a little. Then you will see what you can do and what you cant. A weird weapon is always a good thing if you can develop one. One thing I strongly recommend developing is a very reliable BH flick you can use to attack short balls

And even with Dima the question is HOW FAR does he move to occasionally favor a BH? Now compare that to how far Gatien or Wang Liqin would move to hit a FH from their own BH corner -- and how often they did that..

The thing about Kreanga, Karakasevich and Dima is that their BHs are freakish. A big question is wht the rest of the top pros over the last 30 years don't routinely step around to hit BHs? The thread above gives lots of reasons. Among amateur players, I have occasionally seen very BH dominant...

Excellent point. It is possible to hit powerful spinny FHs from many less than ideal positions. That is almost impossible from BH side. The ball needs to be coming at whatever your ideal spot is (for me somewhat above the outer margin of my left hip). Trying to rip shots from an even slightly...

Arm flexors (FH muscles) are stronger than extenders (BH muscles). By contrast leg extenders are stronger than flexors (they support your weight).

If BH is ONLY option, well, then you hit a BH. But good players would rarely step around to hit a BH when a FH is right there.

I haven't read through the whole thread. But there are two reasons. The arm muscles that generate most of the FH force (flexors) are a lot stronger than the extenders used on the BH. Also it is easier to get body rotation on FH.

The problem is in the OP's initial assumption, that BH and FH are equal. In terms of power and spin you can generate WHILE MOVING LATERALLY TO GET TO THE BALL, good players will always be stronger on the FH side because the force generating muscles for that shot are much stronger. By contrast...

I agree with Carl but the Viscaria plays infinitely better.

I thought the op makes an interesting point about visual element, whether you agree with him or not. It's pretty rare to read a unique and novel post on a TT forum so hats off to him.

Everybody goes through those periods of frustration where your level plateaus. Just keep playing. Try to be disciplined in your practice, which means working on the stuff you're bad at. Equipment changes should be kept to a minimum. I'm not saying dont ever make a change but it's pretty...

So much pace. Moves so smooth. Timing so perfect.

Have you ever tried either one? If not why do you think those are the blades you want? Maybe you are a fan of those players? My advice is don't buy expensive blades you haven't tried. Maybe someone at your club has one you can hit with?

Maybe if you ask again on a third thread someone will answer.
