Look at the video I posted and the date. He is more likely to be using a custom blade than a Viscaria unless he was messing around for the exhibition.

This meme is way over my head...

Everytime I point out (based on the Euro Champs equipment list from 2016) that Shibaev and Liventsov and many Russians use Korbel still, I get someone who corrects me that Shibaev uses a Viscaria. Maybe it is a Viscaria with a Korbel handle? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFIdFSiq8vE Look at...

Paul 11-3.

I didn't play for a couple of weeks as I travelled out of the country. I got back and my gsme is like trash. My game was going down the tubes last year and I started taking anti inflammatories and was able to play again. I don't take them more than twice a week to avoid full dependency but...

I will make a short video and show it to you on Monday or Sunday or whenever I go into the club. Basically, I will explain an element of this guy's loop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aimx2M5G46w

Doesn't mean it will work for anyone else. But it is basically similar to that grip I showed you when you came. I have figured out why it works on the backhand and I am trying to replicate it on the forehand to get a smaller but sharp forehand in cases where I just need to hit the ball down...

I think I have figured out a way to simultaneously improve both my backhand and forehand technique.

The reason why he tries to take the all very early is open for others to speculate but IMO it all goes back to his movement issues as someone who has that much power should not be forced to take the ball so early if it is hurting his consistency. It really comes down to how your style allows...

It's definitely a Wenge wood. I have heard that formally elsewhere from Nexy.

Nothing you said addressed the point I made. And since I said he lacks variation, that is the same thing as your saying it is mental and strategy. Fan Zhendong can make up for his relative lack of variation with his ability to move and be extremely consistent. If you think LJK is as fast as...

He doesn't have variation and he is not as fast as Fan Zhendong so his forehand is worse. He is right now in many ways just a lower level Fan Zhendong. I think he needs to lose weight like Fan has.

That's apples to oranges. Ma Long was first team on CNT when people said he struggled internationally. It was an extremely subtle statement. Who knows, maybe he would still be struggling if we were still using the celluloid ball...:p

I have seen a lot of people play and I am not talking about technical play per se as so much as an understanding of what constitutes an effective game. I don't see any reason other than the quality of people you may regularly practice against that prevents you from being 2000 USATT. I am not...

I know you play for fun, but the lack of discipline and structure in your game is too evident. The easiest ball to serve short and low is heavy backspin. I know many penholders don't like doing it, but some of the heaviest side backspin serves I have ever dealt with come from penholders. So...

I would blame the blade more than the glue but that's me. I used my hands like 42abp recommended for a long time. On another blade of the same type, the outer ply chipped off. I have seen rubber cement do the same thing to a Gergely. But that was because the rubber wasn't changes for a...

Lots of decent level players used rubbers like Calibra Sound or T05FX. Those are probably medium too. The point is that even if pros use something, it doesn't mean you have to, especially when there a pros and good players who use soft rubbers. FX-P is not a hard rubber and before that...

True. I usually see the concept of playing penhold without a coach who plays penhold or has a deep knowledge of the grip as ice skating uphill but if you enjoy It, by all means do it since this is a hobby.

Tell that to Emmanuel Lebesson.

Play and practice with more spin. The lower the amount ofspin you play with, the easier it is for you to struggle with small changes to the ball and environment. Too many players try to practice hitting the ball for winners in matches but I got better when I started learning to spin the ball...
