  1. Learn the Reverse Pendulum Backspin serve. It has helped me a lot!

    What I find interesting about all this is that if you watch Brett's serve, he is sometimes actually doing exactly what you describe, though he confessed on MYTT that occasionally, the handle does hit his wrist or come over. Note that Timo Boll for example has his come over the wrist and I...
  2. Foam /Protective edge tape?

    I bought this tape on Baal's recommendation and I now offer tape to people since I often reuse mine over and over and even transfer it across blades.
  3. Question (Grand slams Masters)

    Kong Linghui also did - I find the achievement contrived and not that impressive other than as one mark of a great player. Wang Liqin is a great player and has no Grand Slam - no World Cup even!
  4. TTEdge Executing Table Tennis Shots Series!

    99% of the same effect comes from turning your shoulders while your knees are bent. The bottom line is that you just have to use proper and natural technique. IF you throw a ball/frisbee or punch a bag, how do you generate power? The loop uses 95%-100% of the same motions.
  5. Rubberquestions (no, their already bought!)

    Missed that detail - it's already prefactory tuned. And you know me, the only boosting I do is with my wrists - turbo boosted elbow and wrist snaps!
  6. Rubberquestions (no, their already bought!)

    What glue do you use that made Big D stubborn? It has always been well behaved for me.
  7. Waldner or Ma Long?

    Playing till 30-33 is fairly recent. They used to stop a bit earlier than that when China was really dominant.

    Here are the reviews of Evolution rubbers - no reason you can't buy two Evolution rubbers and be done with your search. http://www.tabletennisdaily.co.uk/equipment/reviews/user/23040
  9. TTEdge Executing Table Tennis Shots Series!

    I find your statements interesting in light of why I am trying to do this. While I may or may not use these movements in matches as much as I would hope to, I want my body to perform more like that of a TT player. And I think trying these things out and learning them makes me think more like...

  11. Re-Building the BEAST

    You move very well and you are leaving 200 pts of easy rating on the table with the love tapping. You just need to learn to spin the ball and let the opponent deal with it as opposed to love tapping to get those low hanging points. You should be over 1700, seriously.
  12. Rubbers for DHS Hurricane Long V

    Carl, I disagree with this though I understand where you are coming from: "If you had Evolution MX-P I might say to try that and give MX-P a slight edge. But, again, you don't. EL-P may work for your FH too but it is probably a bit too soft for the power of someone who predominantly drive...
  13. Re-Building the BEAST

    How did your tournament go? The weight will be fine.
  14. Rubbers for DHS Hurricane Long V

    Human beings do not agree all the time. The page author requests people who find anything that is wrong to correct him. Thankfully, he did a lot of good work and it accords with most of my own experience.
  15. Rubbers for DHS Hurricane Long V

    In general, if people have time to spend and want to understand blades and rubbers, this is a good website/blog. thoughtsontabletennis.wordpress.com/
  16. Rubbers for DHS Hurricane Long V

    Everyone has a different contact depth and speed that generates the speed and spin they like to consistently generate. Power is a combination of speed and spin - some like to put more into spin, some like to put more into speed. Usually, if you use a soft rubber, at lower impact, you will get...
  17. Rubbers for DHS Hurricane Long V

    Understood. Some people today still use Sriver and Mark V and play well. Most of the rubber diversity is hype from manufacturers. You have used Tenergy 05 and Tenergy 64 for a while now. Usually, you may even have rubbers like Mark V so that you can figure out your blade before trying other...
  18. Rubbers for DHS Hurricane Long V

    Then you are too good a player to be asking these questions the way you ask them. You should know the rubbers you like and just use them. If you want to EJ, then have fun with the rubbers. But if you don't want to waste money, just buy the rubbers that you know you play well with and use them...
  19. Returning backspin

    You have the whole side of the table to use your forehand on a short ball to your backhand so you can play a full stroke. You have to run around to the side of the table and then use your forehand over the table.
