  1. My BH topspins are very flat, need more arc and spin

    In my view, both videos are confusing and poor.
  2. My BH topspins are very flat, need more arc and spin

    Arc simply means circular strokes. If your ball has no arc, you haven't figured out how to turn the ball. It's really as simple as that. Most of the time, it means either your elbow or your shoulder is not aiding the circular turn of the stroke. The wrist tends to follow the shoulder/elbow...
  3. Please recommend blade softer than Timo Boll Spirit

    Try fastarc g1 instead of Rakza 7, Rakza has a bit too much catapult.

    It is very important to teach adults non-inverted, both to play with and to play against. Some may already use it and those that don't will like them more if they understand the rubbers. They are also very common amongst adult players so it is a win all round.
  5. Upgrade Grubba to Xiom Off S vs. Andro Core Off vs. IF ALC (V-6)

    With those sensitive shots, use thinner contact. As for faster blade, playing distance is one of the considerations.
  6. Upgrade Grubba to Xiom Off S vs. Andro Core Off vs. IF ALC (V-6)

    I would actually argue that the G1 is spinnier and faster. Less arc on some shots but arc isn't the only component of spin. Mastering something like G1 will be a good example of how advanced your technique really is.

    I know the Federer fans will come for my head but am I the only one who thinks Djokovic is the most complete and probably the most dominant amongst the great players of this era? I mean Djokovic is the moat dominant player in an era of dominant players like Nadal Federer and Murray while when...
  8. How to return a fast short pendulum serve to the wide bh

    Dominus7, Being able to return serves properly requires extensive coaching and experience. The first thing is to be able go read the spin on the serve and depending on the level of the opponent this can be hard. Then the next thing is to be able to create the racket angle and the stroke that...
  9. Upgrade Grubba to Xiom Off S vs. Andro Core Off vs. IF ALC (V-6)

    I think there is a difference, it is up to you to see whether it fits your game. G1 is the most popular rubber in Japan for a reason. As for the equipment, you can use a Timo Boll ALC anytime you want to. It just depends on whether it fits your game or not. If you are looping competently and...
  10. Upgrade Grubba to Xiom Off S vs. Andro Core Off vs. IF ALC (V-6)

    Change the Baracuda to Fastarc and keep the Grubba.
  11. Viscaria vs long 5

    Looks like a Yasaka Alnade just like Fan Zhendong's blade looks like a Stiga Infinity.
  12. China Super League 2018

    I know my point is that everyone loses.
  13. China Super League 2018

    LGY lost both his matches after showing good form on his trip to Hungary. I know what you mean, but FZD is still the top performer in Super League.
  14. Is double inverted the most viable setup to play?

    I have actually used them. To use LP especially at a skillful level takes practice and time but it is not *much* harder than inverted depending on what you are trying to do. Getting to a very high level is what is really hard. That inverted has serious advantages is just the nature of table...
  15. Is double inverted the most viable setup to play?

    I think the framing of the question shows a misunderstanding of what the issue is - how far a player with a weakness, which is usually relative, can be pretty far. Let's say someone uses inverted on both forehand and backhand and is losing a lot of matches. He switches to pips on backhand and...
  16. Is double inverted the most viable setup to play?

    Some people use it for style reasons but some people use it to mask a weakness or a relative inability to use inverted to loop and control spin. If your blocking is good but your looping is bad, then short pips at least give your blocking a different feeling. That is not really a style change...
  17. Is double inverted the most viable setup to play?

    Much harder to do what? Each rubber makes it easier to do some things and harder to do others.
  18. Viscaria vs long 5

    Sure ... wink wink.
  19. Chubby pros

    The point of the story was that this guy was being harassed to lose weight and get smaller because everyone thought he was overweight when he wasn't. Maybe my memory exaggerates the number because I haven't seen the book in a while. But the focus on 2% is not my point. My point is that the...
  20. Is double inverted the most viable setup to play?

    Ah, pointing me to the Facebook page. Haven't seen that in a while. I actually don't use Facebook at all. Anything you can share here on YouTube or another internet site?
