How high are you? :rolleyes:

Perhaps getting in contact with your national team would be wise.

If you can make a quality shot look like a rubbish shot, your technique is good. Or does no on here understand the concept of hiding slightly high no-spin serves as backspin to get a pop up or straight up flick miss off the end? What about a very high, very dropping no-spin loop that looks...

The difference is that a clear foul is a clear foul and needs to be called. A borderline illegal but not actually illegal serve shouldn't be called. I do believe that top western pro players could get their sponsors to provide them with DHS sheets if they really want. At least, with a lot of...

A 1700 player should never win against a 2000 player, statistically. I never said Dima or Boll said anything about the Chinese hiding serves, although Boll has complained about players in general hiding their serve. I cannot confirm if he has stated the Chinese specifically do it. Google around...

Doesn't that mean that China is just simply better in the equipment department as well and Europeans should strive to produce a superior rubber instead of trying to limit China's equipment? The booster ban rule is only a thing because Chinese rubber is nigh useless without good boosting and...

To me, it's hypocritical to call someone out for boosting and "unfair rubbers" or whatever, when their own setup is heavily boosted and not available to the public in the first place. Somehow, it's okay if it doesn't have "National" in the name and is instead just "Tenergy XX", and you don't...

Boll and Dima are complaining that they themselves can't get their hands on National H3. Now, I do believe that you could get your hands on National H3, actual pro grade H3, if you were close enough with pro players or suppliers to actually acquire some and it was discrete. It's not like...

Unfortunately, I don't know of a place to acquire H3 National with the proper weight.

H3 with Tenergy sponge isn't sold publicly anywhere on any site. You can, allegedly, acquire some by going to China and talking to the supplier who has some in stock. I do not know exactly how that is done, or who supplies it. For all I know, it could be rubbish, but the prices I've seen...

The above. I was referring to a scenario where the shot would not work, and an overall higher level of play would be required. For example, when playing a pro player who is on balance and does not fall for such shots. In NextLevel's video's context, the shot was brilliant. There was tons of...

You were probably looking at Provincial rubber if it's 55USD. I've never seen National, especially the ones with Tenergy sponge, for under 110USD.

I think your shot would have been fine even against a faster player, and you would have been able to probably kill the next ball if it came back. That is ONLY provided that they are not fully ready to move. If they're ready to move, you basically need to flick it off the sideline. If your flick...

I like 4:27. It could be argued that your shot isn't anything special, which is true in itself, but it looks like you're about to backhand flick down the line, and instead you push to the forehand sideline. I saw that coming a mile away from behind the screen, but I can see that being very...

Chopping and non-standard surfaces being inferior meaning that their ultimate potential is not as high. Of course, we all know that we are NOT top 10 players, and we all have a hard time with good choppers. Thus, it's not really an inferior surface at everything except the highest of the high...

This. If a player who is using "bad technique" is beating a player with "good technique", imagine what he can do if he uses "good technique" as well! That video's hilarious. Once you start respecting pip users, you can start eating them for breakfast. After all, there's a reason why the...

@luqketti He is preventing the chopper from attacking or making any kind of aggressive moves. Players like Ma Lin and Wang Hao who eat choppers for breakfast also make mostly shots with only spin and no force. The standard Chinese way is push -> soft loop until they get a ball to kill. The...

I somehow think that if two high level players are playing each other, and things are going too well for the other and balls are coming to his sweet spot with no spin, he'll immediately see that it's a ruse. It's just too good to be true. Then again, I don't know. On the world stage, lower...

These videos are a good example of "Knowing you can do it, so you're lazy on execution" and missing easy shots. You just know you can return mostly everything that comes your way, and the only reason you would lose is just pure statistical inconsistency, so you assume that the ball will go over...

It's not wrong per se, to have a strange and non-conventional style for details like this. I think we all do some things a bit "strangely" to great success. If it was all fundamentally wrong, people like Seemiller, or Boll, or Hasegawa or even Jean Alesi from F1 would have never had any...
