I was typing in a rush from my cell phone and I was trying to make it as short as possible - LOL.

Interesting. What frequency do you get when you measure ?

It is clear that they are rewarding tour participation over performance. It seems a bit too much right now. Hopefully they will adjust the formula better over time.

I think my blade wins, though I am not sure about Stiga part or the handle part. But lower throw and larger sweet spot for sure.

His new coach is his old coach, nothing to write home about.

Okay - I still don't get it. But Samsonov is definitely lacking by this standard, yes?

The loss was hardly a big deal as if he didn't qualify that day, he would get another chance the next day (which he got and did). Same as CCY's victory in the group stage of the World Cup in 2012 - of course ML almost got eliminated on tie breaks, but the win didn't cost him much in the bigger...

Exactly. Focus on rocking on the balls of your feet to protect your knees. Knee pain and damage amongst untrained amateurs hitting the ball hard is an undisclosed epidemic.

So this weekend, me being the EJ I am, I got my backup True Carbon and Tibhar Genius rubbers on Friday night so I could not train with them. I did get my favorite Donic VarioClean glue which I have not used for a while. So I build the paddle on Friday night. I had a tournament on Saturday...

Thanks for the kind words. If you want to loop serves with your backhand, it is very important to carry your shoulder, either by moving your legs or by turning your upper body, to where the ball is so that you can have your elbow in the right position to loop the ball properly. You can even...

I think they took that video off YouTube, Carl. I looked In my email history but that link no longer works.

This part should be be highlighted to more and more people.

The whole women's CNT is using Carbonados, no? Forget the occasional Viscaria...

No Ding Ning? Zhu Yuling?

Timo Boll and Mizutani are also lacking a good forehand according to this standard, no?

You have improved a lot. The only thing I would say is work on taking the ball earlier. The stroke adaptation you need to make to do it consistently will help your overall game. You are letting the ball drop way too often and it is not allowing you to take advantage of your athleticism. When...

Would like to add one comment to this: it is a common mistake amongst adults working on their technique to believe that you develop powerful technique by swinging at the ball hard all the time. You don't learn to swing at the ball hard or to time the ball better by swinging at it hard...

People don't understand what it is like to be at the top of your sport in your country, but to try anything to beat the people you can't beat.

In the first game at 5-4, there was another point which I felt that LSW won where the ball also hit the edge but no one noticed. In the end, these errors are part of table tennis. If we introduce reliable replay, let's use it, but if not, let the umpire's decision stand.

What he probably means is that people have said that there is a slight handle heavy balance in the Boll ALC vs the head heavy balance of the Boll Spirit which some people say makes the Boll ALC easier to use with heavier rubbers like Tenergy. It is a relatively mild thing and not enough IMO to...
