  1. New DHS 40+ Ball - TTNPP (Is it fake or is it real?)

    So maybe someone is trying to pass of 40+ as D40s!
  2. Advantages of 1.8mm

    Maybe Sebas died and reincarnated (very rapidly) in Asia. We should ask this guy's coach what he thinks.
  3. Advantages of 1.8mm

    Ok. So evaluate that. Now evaluate all the other advice he gives you. Good luck with your improvement. I suspect you will need it.
  4. Advantages of 1.8mm

    Not sure what being ethnic Asian has to do with your technique. Anyway, you have a coach for a reason.
  5. Are styles conforming and hurting the sport?

    My experience is watching how quite little kids are taught in China but we will simply have to disagree on this.
  6. Are styles conforming and hurting the sport?

    I am glad that there are people who agree with me that the sport is not heading to a steaming heap. There has been a lot of that kind of posting at various forums. The complaints include: They are killing spin! The rallies are short! There are no blockers! They are dumbing down the game...
  7. Are styles conforming and hurting the sport?

    I have wanted to actually say part of this myself, but was afraid I would be shouted down. On the other hand, it is not like I disliked TT in the 40mm celluloid era, there have been lots of incredible matches and achievements. One of my favorites was 2003 WTTCs in Paris. But some of the...
  8. Advantages of 1.8mm

    I honestly think it is a crutch that will impeded your development. But I am not your coach.
  9. Critique Me

    Some of the tenseness could come from playing in front of a camera when you are not used to it. Videoing yourself is a great way to get better. Two things I notice. I am not going to suggest how to move your arm. 1. You are sliding around a lot. Maybe your shoes get dusty? In any case you...
  10. New DHS 40+ Ball - TTNPP (Is it fake or is it real?)

    My guess is that these balls are not fakes and that DHS is changing the way they are making them, and I have generally been happy with stuff I have bought from ttnpp (which admittedly is not a lot). His clothing is without question fake. But we still have to admit that we don't know the full...
  11. Butterfly Tiago Apolonia ZLC or Butterfly Viscaria (Normal and Fish Scale Surface)

    I haven't tried one but have read that the handle is small and thin.
  12. Who has the world's best backhand?

    Better add Wang Hao in his prime. And Ilia makes a good point.
  13. New Tibhar case -not very happy

    I am sorry, I am not getting on an airplane or crossing any international border with a blade case that has a picture of a big marijuana leaf on it, even if if is supposed to be a palm leaf. Not doing it.
  14. New DHS 40+ Ball - TTNPP (Is it fake or is it real?)

    Here is a conspiracy theory. It is a theory, not a fact, and it is unsupported by anything. It is pure speculation on my part. What if CNT has communicated to DHS that they don't like the results they have been having with the ABS and Nittaku balls, and they have asked DHS to make the new ABS...
  15. All things service

    My understanding though, is that the patent for a seamless ball was owned by the wife of an ITTF official, and not Sharara, but one of his close cronies. Also that the process in question was NOT the one that Xu Shao Fa came out with, and that the process patented by the ITTF guy resulted in a...
  16. LF: Viscaria

    Dude was also offering "Pro Version" Viscarias for $300. This thing does not exist. The reason I know is that I have actually hit with Viscaria blades that have belonged to pro players. They are just like mine. You want a good new Viscaria, buy from an authorized dealer and specify a...
  17. LF: Viscaria

    You won't either. He is too busy creating new identities at MyTT to promote his scam websites. He is trying to confuse people with names thst resemble TT11, one of the best vendors in the world (based in Estonia). This guy is based in Vietnam but uses various ways yo obscure that. He is a...
  18. Butterfly Tiago Apolonia ZLC or Butterfly Viscaria (Normal and Fish Scale Surface)

    Except for the part about more speed and spin. Handle is slightly different. Notable that ZJK doesn't use it.
  19. Butterfly Tiago Apolonia ZLC or Butterfly Viscaria (Normal and Fish Scale Surface)

    ZJK ALC is softer feeling and a little slower than ZJK sZLC but weight balance is similar. Both are designed for more or less the same kind of player. I like them both. One is half the price of the other, though. I prefer ALC because I've played with those for 11+ years. So other people...
