  1. "Deadest" blades out there?

    I believe the Garaydia T5000 is the ultimate in this direction . A guy I know who thinks like you uses a Sardius. The chart provided by Mr Tom is the best source for butterfly blade characteristics. Were it not for my Sardius using friend ( and you may be him for all I know) I would have...

    Dusseldorf, Saarbrucken, Ochenhausen.

    A friend says I play better when I don't film myself. It might be true. I guess it's just funny that so many interesting moments happen when the camera is not on. Now let me give you all an example of how the universe speaks to you and how you should take a hint. So after the matches against...
  4. At the moment, who do you consider greater: Ma Long or Zhang Jike?

    It was Wturber but I have similarly embraced the role of luck in TT for a while now. Was it really about winning big matches or was it a Wang Hao problem? Yes, Ma Long was a bit of a wreck about losing but I think that Wang Hao was the more the issue than the size of the occasion.

    The earlier you take it, the more pace, spin and power you get to borrow, the later you take it, the more pace spin and power you can add. The top of the bounce usually means just after the top of the bounce when it is just after its highest point. I would just try both and see which I prefer...

    No, because he only does it against blocks. He needs to do it against loops and punch blocks as well. Many people say that such stuff is advanced and never try it but what I have learned is that you try everything and you see what you like and end up being good at. Don't put anything as being...

    Some of us who want to play TT are on the "I am not good enough to try this and that or practice this and that" plan. This is a big mistake. You should take the opportunity to practice EVERY kind of offensive shot and situation that you think will show up in your games and add in some...
  8. Will Liu Guoliang retire?

    Your allegiances are well founded. Ma Long has not played a match that has excited me as much as ZJK-JYS. Until then, ZJK is on my TT Mount Olympus and can do whatever he wants and I will approve 100%. They should create a special position for him on the CNT that he can come into and play...
  9. Will Liu Guoliang retire?

    People exaggerate this head coach grand slam winner thing. In any case, LGL retired really young and he was a brilliant server. There is something about the mindset that goes behind brilliant serving that makes one ideal for analytical coaching... So I think only Ma Long and Xu Xin are...
  10. At the moment, who do you consider greater: Ma Long or Zhang Jike?

    WH was "way" past his prime in the same year he came second in the WTTC and represented his area in the National games? Wang Hao was not even 30 until the end of 2013- the only thing we can say about Wang Hao is that he was also someone who used to train hard for big events - the amount of...
  11. At the moment, who do you consider greater: Ma Long or Zhang Jike?

    Not just super league but there were also national championships and national games matches. Some of those matches were pretty important too, but that is not my main point. I am not discounting the ITTF record but the record for the first 10 matches was Wang Hao 8, Ma Long 2, which makes the...
  12. At the moment, who do you consider greater: Ma Long or Zhang Jike?

    Someone else put the match record at 20-17 ML. So there are matches missing from the record. The other thing is when many of those matches took place. Counting matches that took place before 2009 is putting a baby up against a giant. Good for sadists but not really a measure of what is going...

    Yes, you obviously played well, JeffM. What I find about people who tend to play differently under pressure from how they play in practice is mostly three things. 1. Practice 2. Spin 3. Movement/footwork. Practice is important as you have to get used to playing a certain way to commit to...
  14. At the moment, who do you consider greater: Ma Long or Zhang Jike?

    Let's keep it in perspective - ML still has a superior head to head over his career vs. WH.

    I seriously doubt that.

    Exactly. And sometimes, you have to push that third ball to beat blockers. Yes, it sounds crazy but it is true. The decision to attack is in part about ball selection - you have to select the right balls to attack and the right places to attack to. I just lost a match which I should have one...

    Played the league but forgot my camera. Played some of my best TT too. Oh well.

    Your question was a good chatting question. Phrased in a very broad and chatty way. If you had come just asking whether to use T05 or MX-P ( instead of realizing that Carl has already answered that question wisely), I would have given you the Judge Dredd sentence reserved for the top Goon...

    Putting on Judge Dredd helmet... nah, going to play some TT and will post some video from tonight's league.

    Why does chit chatting end up becoming EJing without any warning? We must get to the bottom of this or the notorious Goon Squad will soon use this thread for kicks.
