I am trying Vega Pro now in part because of this post and I can understand where you are coming from.

You lose points once you start a match and lose, no matter what the reason you lose. The issue must have been a later match, not the match being played. As for what your buddy did, yes, personalities and cultures are different. I don't think I would have chosen that approach, but I have...

The Ma Long ball is not ABS - it is just "cell free". It was the ball that broke a lot before the ABS ball was introduced.

You were trying to save money and you thought the rest of us using these tensors were idiots. No biggie. There are many like you so welcome to the real world. Your touch and short game may suffer a bit so be ready for that.

Omar Assar is the favorite but I am rooting for my country man Bode who upset Aruna in the R16 match. Go Nigeria!

Yes, but the logic behind the principle is that you can get good technique without such things. I used to short push by taking fingers off the racket and a high level coach told me that it was unnecessary and would complicate my play under pressure unless I could flick with the same grip...

No one really knows what fingers they apply to what strokes when. They have a general idea which they think is true based on what they have tried in the past and if you experiment and something works for you, just keep doing it. The only thing I would generally recommend is to try to...

My body has been a wreck for the past month and I have been stupidly forgetting/refusing/being lazy about wearing knee braces. No more BS - I can't play TT anymore without those things and I need to accept it or I soon will be unable to walk. I have lost a ton of rating points doing all kinds...

Takes a good teacher and a lot of hours of practice. The practice is the really hard part as you have to experiment and understand until the feeling is there.

Very deep post.

Fixed.

You moderators at TTD are so slow to take out the trash...

Kim Jung Hoon. Former Korean national team player.

Try it and experience it yourself. It's honestly the kind of question that is best answered by personal experience. But just about any spinny rubber will suffice.

If spin is the dominant thing you are looking for, use another rubber. Karis M is more for consistent countering and control and with decent spin.

This is an excellent post. Getting fitter is a part of it, as well as being able to take the ball at multiple timings, especially when you get to it late. I remember that a huge part of my TT improvement began when I managed to loop the ball when I got to it late and put it back on the table...

Being able to play multiple forehands against block is part of the game. IF you need more power, you need to look at ways of generating faster racket head speed. Maybe using your wrist more aggressively as part of a whip motion might help as well as generating faster motion in the core using...

Had a tough day at Westchester. Lost a match in which I had multiple leads in every game and a couple others where I just could not adjust to the slower timing of the ball. There were some good signs and I will see how it plays out over the next week. I do plan to play more in August before...

Strangeloop already posted about this a few pages back, but I also pointed out that Shetty had already beaten good players at Australian Open, including Jang Woojin, who is a technically sounder player than Aruna. So these are upsets, but Shetty has already shown he is more than capable.

My game is going into the tank. I am losing badly to pips players. I am playing Westchester today but I have zero expectations and would not go if friends were not playing and He Zhi Wen wasn't coming.
