  1. At What Point is an Upgrade from D09c to Z03 Justified on BH?

    Don't have the video, no. And yes, the theory of "equipment is too fast for you" is impervious to criticism in my experience. In the end, the game has quite a few ways to win and lose points and people pick and choose amongst things with tradeoffs, including amateurs. Btu the theory of...
  2. Europe Smash 2026, Malmö, 8/8-16

    I get you, my point though (I really have to finish that article) is that very often, a player takes a streak or semi-streak to get the lead, and the other player takes his own streak to win the game. The streak that got the lead is not seriously discussed, but the streak that lost the game is...
  3. Europe Smash 2026, Malmö, 8/8-16

    Maybe you mean the event? Felix played the second semi.
  4. Europe Smash 2026, Malmö, 8/8-16

    Yes, his footwork to set up the forehand is not as aggressive. and he doesn't really pivot.
  5. Europe Smash 2026, Malmö, 8/8-16

    I know one RPB player whose favorite player was Ma Lin, his backhand sidespin was very annoying to me. Not impossible to deal with but often annoying.
  6. At What Point is an Upgrade from D09c to Z03 Justified on BH?

    I just lost to a USATT1700 kid (not more than 12 years old) using Timo Boll ALC with D09c on both sides. I now realize I was the one who caused it as a USATT 1800 using Zyre. If I had used Rozena, it would not have been a contest! More seriously, no, no, no, musclepong is not having issues...

    Hi @Matteones, are you coming to the TTD meetup in Duesseldorf, next month?

    You definitely are taking it a bit to the extreme, but what I like about your post is that it is definitely all relative for sure, but in this context, it might be more important than you give it credit for. Ultimately, Felix would have been a beast no matter what grip he played with...

    No, he is saying that the player's skill is broader than just the grip. He is 2200+ player who has even played Xu Hui, so he is just sharing his opinion/judgment.
  10. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Bouncing the ball on the table is pretty easy when you get the right feeling. You will surprise yourself. It is more of an equilibrium thing than anything else. The ball catching skills are definitely hard IMHO. But many people can do them. The video itself has to be at least a minute, 30...
  11. A better forum via better moderation

    I read the posts, struggled to find their relevance to the original topic (I could have been wrong about that for sure), and read other posts that pointed out it was likely to just be an attempt to continue to increase webboard discord and took action. My judgment may be wrong but I don't...

    Travelled to Houston for the African TT Diaspora event for which I was an organizer as well as a participant. Didn't do as well as I would have liked but I lost to good players who made good shots. Have to work on a lot of stuff for sure. But I will target the Teams tournament in Baltimore as...

    Sardines are a thing. But they make your loop smelly. Maybe that is where the whiff in whiff whaff is derived from - the fishy game.

    You really should reach out to him and talk to him and broker something if you want him back that badly. That you keep on talking as if you want him back but sound absolutely like you have no information on what he is doing or how he thinks to me would be a problem, but we are different people.
  17. Europe Smash 2026, Malmö, 8/8-16

    I think we use the phrase choking too much unless you really think ZQH is/was the superior player. I do agree with the main points you make, Felix has most given Harimoto a ton of trouble and Harimoto has to play his very best to stand a chance against Felix.
