Open your own thread for this, this thread is mostly to discuss what we are trying to do with our table tennis games.

OK, now, maybe you don't understand what we are trying to say. The first question is what are you trying to do. IF we know what you are trying to do, then you can answer whether how a rubber plays on a blade might be what you like or not. But if you don't know or share what you are trying to...

Whenever I give my blade to my clubmates who are using Timo Boll Spirit or Timo Boll ZLC etc., they say my blade has too much feeling and is too slow. We are all using Tenergy (I switched from 05 to 80 recently), so who is right? I find their blades too fast. If they had my blade and changed...

Remember when we used to debate these things? It's not so much wrist action as using a whip motion and relaxing the forearm and wrist. You could ask him whether he uses his wrist and he might say no or he might say yes. But both answers are correct - the wrist is a joint. You can't use a...

Only (well, actually one of two) successful counterloop vs my opponent of the night and a good point too... youtu.be/IOEvy9hsd1A?t=655

Yes. The question is what kind of overall setup speed he is trying to achieve and without mentioning this, he is asking for what "works". I have never understood this - almost as if people think we can imagine how they want to play and what they can do without ever having seen them play.

BTW, there are four different plastic balls and they all play differently.

Just like playing with blades or even preparing for a test. If you care about the result, use the blade you intend to use at the tournament or study the material that will be tested on the exam. If you don't care about the result, use any blade or just party before the exam or read up on other...

I bought those XSF a few times. They are a good deal. Kingnik is another good deal. Nowadays, I pay for the Yinhe from a US Supplier (Cole). The Yinhe 2* seem decent as well though I have to test them a bit more.

So I left off yesterday saying I was going to play the league today. Well, work kept me in late and I kept wondering whether it was worth the 45-50 min drive to get late and not warm up well before playing. I went back and forth with myself and just decided to bite the bullet and play. I...

Nope.

First of all, there are different levels and styles of long pips users just as there are different level and styles of inverted users. I tell people all the time that TT is too complicated to learn if you try to do everything at once. So don't. My advice in my first post was to OP to get...

I played and coached again yesterday, largely using a relaxed version of a grip I used earlier last year as well as a focus on fading rather than hooking the forehand on practice shots. I worked with my temp student on relaxing his shots. I am not so much trying to change his game as trying to...

Read the classic article by DTopSpirit first. http://www.gregsttpages.com/articles3/53-articles/long-pimples/87-long-pimples-for-beginners Then watch the video below and get a practice partner to just use long pimples to return the ball off the bounce and practice what you see.

The only thing that Lebesson did here that was surprising was play his high risk table tennis more consistently over the period of the Euros. He has probably beaten every player he had played before at the Euros at some point or another. Sure, consider that showing up out of nowhere, but if...

Not at all. Maybe if Lebesson had won this match, then we wouldn't be discussing this :).

At the WTTC in 2015. None of those matches took place at the WTTC in 2015. Would I have picked Lebesson to win a major title? No. But watching him play in the French league and for France, is there a player he can't give a good match? He is tough if you are not used to him. That's my...

How do you know?
