Wow, what a slapsmash routine... To quote a singer, this one's for the slappers, strictly for the slappers...

My phone gives me a mobile version of mytt - not that I care much for mobile versions of anything in general. Don't let any crazy people put you off mytt or ooak - I am a member of all three sites - I like to think of mytt as having a more American membership/focus and this site as having a...

ttnpp.com had them when I last checked - not sure what the OP is complaining about.

Personally, the new ESN rubbers I have tried (Evolution, Bluefire Turbo) are so heavy in max with hard sponge that I would recommend that people use 1.9-2.0mm and they will probably enjoy it more.

Speaking for myself, I almost never play pure topspin loop, which is why I liked Rajah's post. Too much work when the underspin or topspin is heavy and the ball you create is not tricky enough for some players, though it is too heavy for others - always going for sidetop by taking ball early or...

PN Looping (definition) - a novel stroke where you generate heavy topspin by slapping high chopped balls without arcing them. Produced by matching the TANGENTIAL acceleration of the paddle with the spin of the ball. TANGENTIAL, TANGENTIAL, TANGENTIAL... yes, even though you have to slap the...

Andy, Where are the videos you promised... Given where you are at right now based on the problems you have described recently, I wouldn't suggest you take any view you have on equipment seriously. All of us who have been there and done that know that until you have mature strokes, you really...

I love it when foreigners describe ridiculous situations in English. Always spot on - makes you wonder why the English don't say it that way.

Try MX-S as well - you may like it.

Killerspintt, What is your rating/ranking in France? Just curious. NL.

No, that's not the problem. The problem is that his level of table tennis is not high enough for him to know what he should be doing vs. what he is doing so he thinks they are the same thing. I know because I was there - when I was 1700, I had a long conversation after a bad loss with my coach...

I will quote myself once more: Pnatchwey and I have history on the mytabletennis.net board. He's a smart guy, but he doesn't appreciate his limitations as a table tennis player and it's annoying to discuss table tennis with anyone without that awareness (...). As a sidenote, Pnatchwey...

BTW, here is the video Pnatchwey is talking about And here is a bonus video. Can anyone estimate his technique level?

They need to promote the "fish scales" as being magically created and scientifically proven to raise TT looping spirits from the dead and imbue the ball with special resonances. Then make it a custom centennial Viscaria type with typical Butterfly inflated pricing. Quartersawn wood just sounds...

Pnatchwey and I have history on the mytabletennis.net board. He's a smart guy, but he doesn't appreciate his limitations as a table tennis player and it's annoying to discuss table tennis with anyone without that awareness (think of the story you gave of how you evaluated a blade when you...

Pnatchwey, A coherent response with a positive thesis would be helpful. Taking statements out of context is bad practice. A few points in response to your drive-by mishmash: A player's style makes a difference but equipment makes it easier or harder to play that style. At the highest levels...

Did you see the revenge matches I posted on my ooak blog thread? I couldn't play Song as he didn't enter the league, but he had a replacement who used SP FH, LP BH and I beat Liu in straights for the first time.

Not sure I agree with this. Generally, high throw vs. low throw *equipment* as I understand it (and I am to some degree parroting William Henzell) is more about whether you primarily want to generate your own speed and spin or whether you want to primarily borrow your opponent's speed and spin...

You already have good rubbers - don't waste your time unless you are broke.

If you have a good loop, all this stuff is trivia at the margins and more about personal taste than objective considerations.
