And exactly that unexpected topspin can create an easy pop up for one....

I see your point to a degree, but I think China [the Tabletennis Association] has realized that helping others will also help themselves too, because the lack of competition leads to stagnation, my dear friend. Also the exchange isn't just for tabletennis. The famous german football (soccer)...

Any choppers in your club?

Oh i see. Oops... I hope no Belgian reads this. [Emoji12]

Nice Vid. Nice warmup. I especially like the irregular drills and the consistency. the Saive brothers have been playing on a high level since i can think, to be more specific since i've started playing as a kid in the eighties and i believe they have left quite a bit of an impact on the belgian...

That number could really be true. But if we pick 10 determined, disciplinned and focussed young players that want to develop it will be a different thing.[I'm aware that those are very rare though] I think if well coached they will adapt, and Most likely much quicker than Adults.

Ok, i can agree that 2801 is definitely not the majority of players in germany. But i think it's quite a large number, and this will lead to my next point... Ok accepted, but then let me try to be the voice for the youth: I believe a kid maybe around 14 years old that get's A-class coaching...

Have you read the posts in the other thread you've opened? Are you referring to this Vid right here?

That's already happening. According to the website Mytischtennis.de the TTBL club TTF Ochsenhausen [the club Liam Pitchford has been playing for until this season] with their Liebherr's Master College and the CTTSL club Shandong Luneng have decided to cooperate in the near future, by exchanging...

Totally correct. No matter if Tennis, Handball, Badminton... Everybody's struggling. But mostly because people or to be more specific parents see a chance for their children to make a decent living from Football. But it is possible to make a living from TT. There are even Bezirksliga Players...

Sorry NL, but this sounds totally exaggerated and kinda farfetched to me. I really don't want to belittle his playing abilities, but if we're just going from the rating and translate it to german TTR then he would be something around 1800 TTR. To be fair let's add another few more points and...

You're very welcome. Glad i could help a little.

Der_Echte, i might be wrong but i've read a whole lot of sarcasm in lastrogian's post.

Totally agree, but it's not just about the muscle memory. I must admit that i used to think a higher net would increase the length of rallies, but i've changed my opinion about this. Here's why: Either they are trying to kill another style or they just can't think. They seem to forget a...

Thanks Turbo. Highly appreciated.

To me the best carbon blade is the Nittaku Shake Offence which is a 3+2 Hinoki+Carbon combination (regular carbon, no AlC/ZLC). When it first came out (38mm era) it was rated as OFF-, so nowadays it would rather be considered on the slow side of OFF- rather leaning towards ALL+ This blade has a...

Hahahaaa. You're too kind. Thanks a lot. I bet after having seen me play, you'll probably say: "who does that fool think he is making all these lousy comments" and then you'll get so compassionate to give me nine pts instead... :D Unfortunately I really don't even have one proper vid of me...

Just a little add-on: Sorry for taking this a bit out of the context, but FTR i just wanted to add on that some tongues might tell that while in Sweden he (KLH) has not only learned about the european mid-distance topspin game, but also learned a lot about speedglueing (originally discovered by...

That's quite interesting. Thanks for pointing this out and also thanks for sharing that link. It must have been a complete change in strategy though, 'cause until 1983 Guo Yuehua was actually in National lead. Having won the worldchampionships twice in a row (1981 & 1983) and totally dominated...

Those are two real nice blades. Hard to tell what somebody would be willing to pay, since that's very related to personal preferences. But maybe you should take a look at this page, to get a better idea what people might pay for collectibles in mint condition...
