Whocarez, many good players would call your stroke a topspin stroke without losing sleep over it. You could learn to come over the top of the ball more and that just means making your paddle more parallel to the ground at the end of the backswing. Facing downwards is hook, facing upwards is...

I agree with the last sentence. The rest that i disagree with I am sure comes down to language. I think looping with topspin when you don't contact the back of the ball but rather the side creates some sidespin and is the dominant stroke in table tennis. I think this is where the discussion...

That's going to be tough one - Monteiro had a good chance to send it to a 5th match by beating Mizutani but lost a good lead to go down 11-13....

Your backhand is really good and can support a faster blade on offensive shots. Your forehand and short game, not so much. To use faster equipment, you have to trust your spin acceleration even on touch shots. When you do then faster equipment is usable. OTherwise, just stick to slower...

It's just a combination of things based on years of observing internet personalities. Just ignore me and continue with all the things you have noticed.

You lost to PRW??? Really????

The basic forehand loop has some sidespin, usually a hook for most players. What people call straight topspin is usually just less sidespin. Some people go out of their way to play fades as these look straighter unless you blade your body orientation more. In any case this is a problem that...

Wow.. Ma Long changed teams... He probably won't play anyways... Why so many line up changes? Did GAS interfere?

Someone said he uses both Tenergy and H3 depending on temperament. This is a good observation as he usually doesn't twiddle when using H3 on both sides. He is restricted to more spinny smashes when he doesn't.

I am geriatric these days, have lost more points than you did since you moved initially. Coming for the teams?

Want to try a Donic rubber with my new True Carbon. Thinking Baracuda but scared or might be too slow. Ant comments?

None of them had to play the China Games where the seamless ball was used except for LGY. I hear you that it shouldn't be a serious excuse. It was deuce in the 7th twice. That is as close to 50-50 as it gets.

Someone pointed out that he won the Japan Open where this same ball was used. To be fair, in this year, he has played WTTC and Asian Champs with Nittaku ball and the China games with Seamless balls. The changes in balls must not be fun for a player his level.

But he could be saying this to just promote Donic as he is often listed as using Bluefire in ads as well.

A good friend of mine told me that a pro he works with was extremely good at fixing handles onto blades. He was never sponsored by Butterfly but played most of his early career with a Timo Boll Spirit. I tell this story so you understand my point and don't think it is worth arguing too much...

It could easily be a Timo Boll Spirit with a Senso handle. With pros you never know. Don't waste your time.

You might be the better player but I wouldn't know watching the match. He seemed to know what he was doing and I never got the impression that you were in control. I don't know what about your game gives you this idea that serving long serves at tight points is a good idea but if you want to...

His attitude is quite fine - not all players are loud. I don't think it helps him compete with his opponent but it is his own approach. He clearly loves the sport and you can see how much he smiles when he wins. He talks about table tennis being the only thing he is good at and the only thing...

I'm not 100% buying this - he could easily have given up the spot and let Fan Zhendong play.
