    Haha, maybe. Man makes the money, money never makes the man.

    @Gozo Aruna, I know you are joking to give us a fuller picture but even if this is not for you, please stop this desire not to show supposedly embarassing scores or moments. Most of the people who will watch and comment on the videos will not focus on the score but the quality of play within...

    As an adult learner, you can and should work on your technique and practice anything you enjoy. It is good to work with high level players and coaches and get their insights and see what you can implement. IMHO, a lot of the stuff that kids learn later like finger use and wrist subtleties...
  4. Dignics 05 1.9 or 2.1?

    Not all uncut rubbers are the same size. Dignics series other than 09c is pretty light.

    So I am preparing for another event this weekend. I worked with my coach on some things. We are trying to shorten my stroke. One of the interesting things that came up was my Karate follow through (heel coming off the ground) on some of my forehand strokes. He said he wanted the weight...
  6. Which Blade is 80% similar to Butterfly Sardius?

    The Sardius because of its oversized head shape is IMHO a notch more controllable than the name and rep might advertise. Despite the technical differences, I would still go with the Carbospeed, but in the end, these are all personal choices and individual blades do have differences.

    My coach is trying to do the opposite in theory but not really. I haven't seen you play, but I am surprised if the issue is the size of your arm usage. Moreover, even a straight arm loop requires forearm snap AFAIK. That said, my coach has been trying to teach me to shorten my backswing with...
  8. Dignics 05 1.9 or 2.1?

    Don't know about durability but it is pretty much the same with imperceptibly less spin and more speed, the blocks and counters are a bit more forgiving.
  9. Which Blade is 80% similar to Butterfly Sardius?

    Primorac Carbon All of the above are reasonable, I would start with the Carbospeed.
  10. Dignics 05 1.9 or 2.1?

    I think the better option is actually to switch to D80 which blocks better but that is just me.
  11. Best way to return short serves?

    There is a point in returning short even if the person doesn't open up well. Quality pushes or attacks off short returns are harder especially for people who do not open up well, the real issue is whether you have the touch to return short with quality. So I would argue that what you are...
  12. Best way to return short serves?

    And there is also a dependence on how you like to play as well. Because if you take the ball off the bounce, you have less time to get off the table to defend. Easier to wait until the ball has come deep, push long while digging into thr ball and then have more time to get back to defend. That...
  13. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    Nothing beats the blue sponge boosted. Nothing.
  14. JTTA: Selection System to be Revamped for Paris 2024

    Yes, but the JTTA is too short sighted, the big picture is that China struggles vs pips and defense so they need to use the defenders while China still has this issue.
  15. JTTA: Selection System to be Revamped for Paris 2024

    Don't worry, @zeio will soon run JNT and shake things up and they will get their chance...
  16. Does anybody else mentally fall apart against pure pushers or weird styles?

    The push as an attacker's weapon is designed to be played off a short ball. The reason is that it has a less distance to travel and often there is more opportunity to create angles, use speed and potentially keep the ball short. Playing it off a long ball takes speed out of the equation and...
  17. final of the Hereford Titans Veteran Tournament 2024 (Aug 25th)

    Big leads completely unaffected by timeout calls to affect the momentum (because timeouts were never called) - my kind of TT match :ROFLMAO:.
  18. final of the Hereford Titans Veteran Tournament 2024 (Aug 25th)

    Yep, this is a tactic I often use too. Definitely not as well as John does lol.
  19. Does anybody else mentally fall apart against pure pushers or weird styles?

    Hurricane 8-80 and Skyline 3-60 both have softer sponge if you are interested.

    So this is my third match of the day and the best one that was played against an adult - it was the B vs C matchup to decide who qualified second in the group for the U2150. I tend to post the ones with kids less because they are young and don't need the visibility. Also was early enough that...
