I discovered that while learning the reverse serve from Brett. I immediately transferred it to my backhand serve and sometimes use it on my pendulum serve as well. The swing is never exactly the same, but as long as the receiver thinks it is, good things will happen. It's not that hard to see...

I have tried all balls including the V40+ from Dfish. I couldn't disagree with you more, there is more similarity between the seamed ABS balls than between seamed ABS balls and other plastic balls.

Understood. What you call patience is what I call getting better at what you do. Comes with mastery of your stroke and your seeing the ball better. Which all comes with age. You can't tell people to do it, they just become better with practice.

IT is a great question, I really think it depends on the quality of the defender because she probably kills her teammates and has killed some defenders on the tour, though she struggled with Han Ying at the last World Tour final and could not take a game I believe - that could have been travel...

The above analysis misses the whole point by saying that Hirano should learn to be more patient. It is her kamikaze approach that is her strength, she takes the Chinese approach to the next level similar to the men's game where while the Japanese would like you to make 100 shots in a row, the...

Every thing you said was what I picked up watching the match. I think it was a point of pride that he can't lose to LGY yet. But against FZD, it was clear even looking at ZJK's face that he accepted that the amount of spin and power that FZD was generating was beyond his pay grade. I think...

That is exactly correct. His father was a player and coach who took his son to Korea.

So maybe wording it better and promptly apologizing for the potential misinterpretation would have ended this a long time ago? I get you didn't intend to offend anyone, but at this point, your digging in your heels over this is unnecessary IMO. "Korea doesn't manufacture TT rubbers as far as...

Someone showed they have more ice in their veins than Niwa.

To me, the balls (D40+) are similar enough to Nittaku Premium but the most common complaint I hear is that these balls have less spin than Nittaku, not more spin, but who knows. In Ma Long's specific case, given he was the king of the plastic era with the DHS 40+, I get it. But the D40+ ball...

She had won it quite a few times as a Chinese too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Table_Tennis_Championships She won in 1988 which needs some explaining given the story.

Curious, what should one learn from the video?

The three problems are eliminated. Spinless is a matter of personal preference.

I disagree with a lot of this, even when agreeing with some of it. Most people I know already hit through spin with the seamless balls so I am not sure I agree with this. The thing about the ABS 40+ balls is that they are faster than the seamless balls and the ball trajectories are more in...

I watched the "fault" call and it is another good example of why the idea of 6 inches between the ball and the hand is proof of a 6 inch toss is nonsense.

The reason why the closed training is an "issue" is because of the ball changes. Without that, it would be far less of an issue.

There are 7 different 3* ITTF approved balls at least. I am a bit of a ball expert, having bought and tested every ball and played with various types of equipment for every ball, I just don't talk about it. 1. Made in China old DHS - this is the cellulose acetate ball that was used in WTTC...

I could play with the Xu Shaofa, I even had decent results with the Dfish egg. I just hated the DHS egg and its clones. I mean don't get me wrong, I may come to rue the loss of spin, but I am a heavy spin player by nature, I left equipment with more spin to use equipment with more control...

No, they are comparing the ball to the old cellulose acetate ball. China built a whole practice venue for their team in Rio, do you think they would skimp on the cost of ordering only 3* NP40+ balls for training? They are complaining that their spins and strokes don't draw errors like they...
