  1. Boycott effects: ML, XX and FZD get suspended?

    Really? I thought this was well known. Anyhow... Well Thomas got kicked out of the German Team. The reasons weren´t really officially outspoken, but rumors say that he´s celebrated (alcohol influenced) a little too much for Schimmelpfennig´s likings and first received a warning and then got...
  2. Boycott effects: ML, XX and FZD get suspended?

    Have you actually read the comments underneath the article? Maybe even a bit more interesting than the article itself! Their (so-called) expert got called out for delivering nothing else but speculations.I don´t want to be belittleling his expertise but asking someone for his opinion who is...
  3. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

    Well, funnily it seems to be totally ok if the factory boosts the rubber but not so ok when a player himself boosts! And also quite a difficult task to distinguish one from the other. Hypocrisy at its best!!
  4. Changing from Penhold to Shakehand

    I think it's not only that. IMHO Xu Xin doesn't really play like a typical penhold player, neither traditional nor modern and doesn't stay close to the table but rather looks like a shakehand player far from the table but using the penhold grip. Why does he do that? Maybe he loves showing off...
  5. Getting better my game

    Here's a thread that's got some useful drills that might help. Might be worth taking a look. https://www.tabletennisdaily.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?10260-Training-videos
  6. New to the forum

    Excellent! I really miss that as well. Like yoass I still have an aubergine coloured friendship 729. Back then my backhand rubber used to be Nittaku Milford in honey colour. My friend still has a green coloured Donic Slick as a backhand rubber to his aubergine coloured 729. Feeling nostalgic...
  7. Cornilleau Target Pro GT Rubber Series Review

    You can say what you want, but to me it seems that Dan is secretely trying to attack the english top 10 when he's lately been praticing with all those top pros like Gerell, Aruna and now Akkuzu and disguising his practice as reviews. Can't fool me, Sir. [Emoji6] On a more serious note: great...
  8. New to the forum

    First of all, welcome to the forum, Pablo. Carl has given already some top notch answers, so let me try to maintain that vibe. As far as i've seen is Artengo a brand mostly producing recreational equipment similar like Schildkröt, so if you want to play serious and competitive you should...
  9. Defensive Blade Suggestions? (2017)

    To keep it short: twiddling! ;)
  10. Getting better my game

    Cool. Seems as if the coach doesn't accept wearing jeans. Glad he did so. It always makes our sport look very unprofessional und recreational if someone doesn't wear sport clothing while practicing seriously. Domino keep it up.
  11. Getting better my game

    glad, i don´t have to smell that aroma after a sweaty 3+ hours session! There are quite a few online available, so that definitely would be helpful, but i think finding a coach would really be worth it too!
  12. remove timo boll picture

    Hahaaa. Great! Good job
  13. remove timo boll picture

    Hahahaaa [Emoji2] beat me on this one! Actually sounds a bit argentinian to me too!
  14. DHS hurricane 3 neo normal vs. provincial

    +1 I think 1° degree would still lie in the tolerance zone. Fais what have you done? That sponge looks like it's at least 5mm [Emoji2]
  15. Defensive Blade Suggestions? (2017)

    Have you ever considered the Nittaku Shake Defense? One chopper i know uses it. Depending on the weight it is reasonably fast. I actually don't lose a lot to choppers, but he really gives people a hard time crushing everything weak thrown at him. It's a composite blade though. Some guys like to...
  16. Solution to the current problems in CNT

    Aww c'mon! That's some disenchanting loser talk. Here's what winners write: The ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do! (Steve Jobs)
  17. Boll's tactics against Harimoto

    Nice analysis. One point though: I wouldn't count a missed block as an unforced error, since there definitely was a force behind it that made Harimoto miss, and that force was Boll who's been spinning the Boll errr... ball and that amount of spin made Harimoto miss. But i must admit, hard to...
  18. Crazy flick by Romain Ruiz!

    Over here we call this: Rückhandpeitsche translated: backhand whip (lash) (because of the motion)
