Yeah but you haven't explained why you think the Carbonado 190 is not fast enough. What reviews did you read?

Why 290 and not 190?

You should make a new thread. This being your first post on this thread doesn't make sense per se.

My Hadraw and Carbonado 145 are doing well. And I play a different game now. Most of my work is in building forehand footwork. I want to coach so I don't want to teach the wrong things.

My take too, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some jobbing from Sun Yingsha.

It was a small event in California not advertised to the public. So most of the people there will be people who consider TT players celebrities. One of my Nigerian friends was there.

It's all relative but I am one of those spin players that takes the ball early and spins without big arc. It is quite possible to get decent spin without large arcs. The way spin messes up timing is not as effective at is used to be with the celluloid ball. I do get arc but I am trying to...

Don't be fooled by the use of the word "somehow". It was made entirely possible by the benevolence of Carl and his daughter.

The Viscaria and Boll ALC both felt a bit faster. Someone say they play more like Carbonado 190 which is why I am on no rush to test a 190. I get the grip thing and I shaved both Carbonado handles significantly to make them feel more like a Korbel.

They are keeping Hirano practiced in doubles. She already has a decent history with Ito and they haven't decided their teams doubles pairing though they know their team.

When would this have happened?

I think imi get your point that it is interesting that an ex-CNT player is in the USA. Mine was that ex CNT players can beat Polish professionals as well. Juan Liu was at her training prime as a professional maybe 8 years ago. She came back after starting a family and she is still beating 2700...

As DerEchte said, things are in flux. The Korbel has been retired as it has a higher throw than the Hadraw and I don't need throw right now. The 145 just enables to get power without working half as hard and I am not sure why as I don't feel this way per se with Boll ALC and wonder whether it...

Battle axe maybe but the feeling isn't that different. The Carbonado series is the first non Butterfly series that I have seriously felt have that hold on the ball when looping.

I got a Carbonado 145. Definitely faster than a Carbonado 45 and it tempts me to get a 245.

The concept of forehand dominant and backhand dominant is outdated other than for describing footwork issues or bad strokes. You just need to learn to perform all the strokes competently and stop branding yourself based on how your TT developed. All the top players have good forehand and...

Juan Liu (American citizen, former CSL/CNT player) just beat Daniel Gorak, former Polish national team player at Westchester in NY recently. I suspect that these CNT women could do the same to many national teams and that the result says absolutely nothing about NA table tennis.

There are lots of things that could be going wrong. Without video, it is hard to say what your problem is. But the best fix is to learn to topspin vs backspin with your backhand. There are lots of good videos on the internet.

The Teams tournaments also have another issue. The mor matches a player plays, the more points they can rack up (see Cheng I Ching). So you can be rewarded for being the top player on a team that mostly goes 3-1 and 3-2 and be penalized for being a player on a team that wins all its matches...

I don't think that's fair to his fans, who do support the sport indirectly by being his fans.
