  1. Table Tennis Crisis

    I would say I have the same problem. my own "rating" is not the one that i think i deserve, but numbers don't lie There is a cave-at as I'm in Japan and there is no official rating system, only some non-official round-robin type tournaments participate in a private initiative to make ratings...
  2. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    the thread about the guy looking to play WTT tournaments has been deleted ? self-destroyed or moderated ? what a waste of talent
  3. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    after 1 month holidays in Europe, i started to practice again. Elbow is more painful than after 1 month without playing, so why not play ? maybe i'll actually feel better ?
  4. Rubber advice for Nittaku Acoustic

    i used to have Acoustic Inner and had T80 (FH) + D80 (BH) both 1.9mm at the time. i used to like it very much, but i wouldn't return to it now because i am able to handle faster stuff and use smash less than i used to do in FH due to injuries + playstyle change T80 plays faster for flat shots...

  7. JTTA: Selection System to be Revamped for Paris 2024

    they had all their chances. they participated in the internal trials and never got far.
  8. Does anybody else mentally fall apart against pure pushers or weird styles?

    more and more i don't consider pushing as an isolated stroke, but as a combo. I practice : aggressive long push + pivot to get ready to counter immediately with FH the push will force the opponent to attack. the fact that i anticipate with a pivot puts pressure on the attacker as he sees me...
  9. JTTA: Selection System to be Revamped for Paris 2024

    they are very good players but they know they can't make it to OG, and even getting a spot to WTTC is very tough for them
  10. China Smash 2024, Beijing, 9/26-10/6

    the total is the same so it must be spread more evenly... its socialism
  11. Does anybody else mentally fall apart against pure pushers or weird styles?

    @TensorBackhand are your loops going in the net or out ? or both ? also why not push back and let him attack first ? when you play a pusher, the most important thing is to keep moving all the time, more so than against an attacker. against an attacker, even when you're not moving, and reaching...
  12. Beast in ASC Grünwettersbach

    i don't know about USATT ratings, i don't live in US and never played there (and probably never will) i don't think Beast has got a USATT rating, he's based in UK.
  13. Changing rubbers to change technique.

    A change is a new start. If you change the rubbers it can be the opportunity to change and upgrade your technique. Anyway there will be needs for adjustments. In my own case I played with slower equipment (Tibhar MK carbon with hybrid MK on FH and K3 BH) for a year. It forced me to change my...

It seems not only you played very well but managed well your energy levels by adapting your tactics depending on opponent style and level. Very mature play. You won your series and did very well...
  15. Looking for Opportunities to practise/play in Tokyo, Japan in Oct

    No such monthly membership system. If you work or live in Minato-ku you can get in for 500 yens. Basically it’s a public facility. It’s cheap because I pay a lot of taxes 😂 It’s just the entrance fee. There’s no coach for this price although some staff can occasionally play with you. There...
  16. Beast in ASC Grünwettersbach

    The Beast was doing indeed very well against pros in the TTD videos. Is he now too good to be a member of TTD team ?
  17. What's the best way to practice near table counter-loop?

    compactness is indeed very important The other point is racket angle should be very closed near parallel to the table and thus you should try to contact the ball from above Also the body shouldn’t go up during the stroke else the ball will fly out of the table. Try to keep the head low (but...
