I referred you to a video. Maybe you could watch it and see if he changed sides and then ask the question.

As we all know, they are CNT robots designed by Dr Liu to take over the world.

Andro Hexer, Donic Baracuda, Tibhar Genius or Yasaka Rakza 7. Start with those on forehand. On backhand, you probably should stick with what you have or try one of my recommendarins in 1.7mm sponge. You can also try many kinds of short pips.

ZJK can't really lob/fish, Xu Xin isn't comfortable with his backhand, and Fan Zhendong is not a master of serves and short pushes (generally inexperienced). But Ma Long? Even chop blocking is up his alley. Ma Long is a true Frankenstein monster. A guy posted a dimensions analysis chart...

Tacky rubber holds on to the ball longer than non-tacky rubber so it slows the ball down on flat hits, and a little less so on loop drives. If you see top CNT smashing with their Chinese rubber side, they don't smash so much as they topspin smash. If anyone wants a modern example, they can...

I know that stroke in that video anywhere. Here is my first time trying out Hexer seriously. First 5-10 mins of this video.

As an EJ who has also trained hard, I would like to apologize to all those rubbers I commented on when I was 1400 and didn't know how to loop per se. Those comments may be read by someone right now who thinks I actually knew what I was talking about but didn't know the rating level I was...

I think Ma Long is already a Frankenstein monster. Easily the best server in the world for me and impeccable footwork and forehand. Maybe we can replace the backhand counter hit or topspin with Zhang Jike but that is about it. Or we can replace his power level with Fan Zhendong but...

Tibor Klampar and speed glue. That is the answer I would give in a nutshell.

I played a guy who was once 2300 and is now older and more injured and moving between 1950 and 2150. He missed a lot of his fast long serves. He didn't call himself a choker, he said that is what happens when you can't put in the hours of practice repeatedly out loud in the match So yes, you...

It's not choking. It's hard to consistently do something that isn't practiced and based in technique. Choking is when you know how to do something consistently with honed technique but it falls apart under pressure. I have heard the whole "choking" thing from many people before, including...

Haha, you have picked an extremely difficult guy to emulate. And you are a lefty too ;). Will wait on the video. The thing with matches though is that you see people playing under pressure and unless you know what they practice, you never really understand their aspirations. When I was...

thekleifeheit13, I watched the video. It probably would have been better/helpful to throw in some of your practice strokes as well. You have many of the issues of an adult oriented BH player. Pretty raw technique on both sides but as things stand, definitely far more promise and convention...

5 out of 5 rating for Stratus Powerwood This is a great blade and its head heaviness may appeal to some people. IT has a larger head so using heavy rubbers may not suit some people. I use it with a relatively light modern rubber (Hexer) so it doesn't bother me. The blade itself is a fast...

5 out of 5 rating for Hexer Whether the rubber being relatively slow is a negative depends on your perception - it is faster with a lower throw than Donic Baracuda, but is definitely a high throw rubber. IT is not as fast as Tenergy 05/80, but the increased control on blocks and in the short...

My current set up is 5 ply all wood with limba outers classic blade. OFF-/OFF. Just saying. It can be a bit head heavy though which is why I love Hexer so much. IT's a relatively light rubber for what it does. But there are lots of similar blades either cheaper or more expensive which are...

I play in Philly at the Trolley Car Table Tennis Club. Hope you will stop over some time.

Playing matches with a 2000 player is far less valuable for someone at your level than hitting with them if they are willing to hit with you. Try to find someone much closer to your level to play with and rarely play players above 1600 if possible (within 400 pts of your rating if you are below...
