My back was sore after Saturday but I did some looping on Sunday to our club champion junior. After reviewing the video, I was very unhappy with with my forehand loop. IT seemed to be losing the upper body rotation that I had worked so hard on with Brett while he was here. I think part of...

OP is an inveterate EJ. Without that context, you are missing a lot of relevant information. In China, they really believe in ball bashing and softer rubbers make such ball bashing have far less predictable results closer to the table, especially vs topspin. In any case I don't believe a...

\ Softer rubber allows for slower swings to generate spin, eases pressure on the technique of the user.

Nah, he got extremely lucky. If CCY lost to Crisan by 2-4 or worse, Ma Long would not have made it out of the group. As it happened, CCY lost 3-4 - CCY could have lost the match by more and eliminated Ma Long so credit to CCY for playing it straight. It also ended up costing XX a chance at...

The cues are the same. It's really more that you are looking at things other than contact.

I used it in 1.9mm in 2014. Would be surprised if it changed that much. But maybe it did for all I know.

I never thought of Grip as very soft - soft topsheet, maybe, but I used to bash the ball with pleasure.

T80FX. All these things are ultimately personal preference.

You can make the videos unlisted so they are not youtube searchable and post for a specific audience. But if they are 100% against it, then just record for self as I think you do now. Many of the players I play against use the videos to improve their games and I don't out any tags for table...

OK. There was the 2012 World Cup vs CCY where he flew in late. Not the World Tour but still an ITTF event.

ITTF said 2008 China Open so my memory may be playing tricks on me.

I think he lost to Lee Sang Su 0-4 in 2012. That's as far as I can remember.

IT's interesting that the vocalized appreciation for Bobrow has improved in recent times. Before, the people who used to complain about him were louder. Now I get the impression that the appreciation is louder.

Chen Meng is physically gifted. Zhu Yuling, it really comes down to experience.

The kid was only 10-15 pts below me officially. I was down 0-2 and had to come back. Had a couple of match points but could not convert. In the end, my game just has to get sharper.

I use the same rubber on both sides almost all the time with few exceptions. I haven't used Rakza 7 for an extended period, but it can't be that different from the Baracuda/Genius/Hexer generation. I would have stuck with Hexer but for my newfound spring sponge addiction. I think T80 might be...

Just finished a tournament day. Looks like I am changing equipment again. Lost the U2000 semis to an up and coming kid 15-17 in the 5th. Could not handle serves to my short forehand. I also did not record any matches as I forgot my disk in my infinite wisdom. Played my last 3 matches with...

How long you have been playing is largely irrelevant to the main point. We don't know how good a player you are, but there are world champions who have gone back to the basics to develop their strokes when they knew it was their main weakness. I for example spent a long time working on my...

At some point, with all your cynical comments and skeptical snide remarks and negative questions, I am going to put you on timeout every time someone says something good or fantastic (too good to be true) about TT.
