If I ever come across DE's paddle, I'll have to remind my self not to lick it now.

That year (2013?) when XX was #1 in the ITTF rating, ahead of ML, his back hand was on point. It's the fact that his backhand is not up to par has cost him. My bball coach used to say you are only as strong as your weakest point. I dislike that his coaches did not emphasize his rpb backhand...

Low throw rubbers are so easy to come by. Even the Chinese cheap ones, like the focus 3 snipe and the yinhe moon are pretty decent. Have you tried the Chinese non sticky variants? Though, while decent, they may lack the extra kick you seek.

The penhold grip is not as solid/sturdy as shake hand. It offers more in way of spin, but you compromise a little stability and control (relatively speaking). Penhold for me involved a lot more wrist and grip conditioning and strengthening compared to shake hand. The new ball being heavier...

Liked this, because I too have begun to doubt XX, but to be fair I've begun doubting penhold rather than XX. penhold still appears to be not well suited to the new ball, where as XX is good enough to compensate for its inherent shortcomings... at least for now.

I suspect it's post, like how they show the first down in football games (only visible to tv). At least, that is how it appeared to me (the digits appeared to almost float). I'm likely wrong, can anyone verify one way or the other?

I know it's sexist what LGL said, but I suppose this is what he expressing...

I too had to do a double take on his comment on celebrating. Only thing I could think of is may maybe the player's lack of emotional exhibition indicates perhaps he isn't all that emotionally committed, perhaps his heart isnt really into it?

Is he Liu... IS HE!?!!

If it feels loose or lacking, then you need to strengthen the wrist and forearm with exercise and drills. But then, that is equally applicable to shake hand as well. People do often underestimate how much conditioning and hard work is required to play penhold at a higher level.

The same thought crossed my mind. Not to mention the differences in rubbers.

I don't think you've thought about your post very deeply. I mean, why are there far doctors for that matter, or fat personal trainers? Have you really not seen fat, lazy or out of shape players throw a football, kick a soccer ball or dribble a basketball? If not at an amateur level than...

Almost, but not quite. Practice does not make perfect. Practice makes permanent.

you wow too? I wow too!

Dear God I just want to punch that cho-ing little obnoxious ****er in the face.

So I recently watched the highlights of the two going at it on here, and while Hugo looked to be like he was in the zone, Dima appeared to be in this trying-to-figure-things-out state. What was noticeable to me was how consistent Dima's forehand looked (or atleast) it did in the highlights, and...

I can't possibly imagine him not being blown away by it. I myself swore by TG3N the first time I played with it, and was not entirely happy with the H3N the first time I tried that. Now however, I prefer the H3N the over TG3N, so you never know! And you aren't even talking about the TG3 vs H3...

a quick google search shoes it is actually speed glue, which while it behaves booster, it is quite illegal.

I came to this convo late and haven't caught up, but from what I'm gleaming tthere is discussion regarding sensory deprevation of sorts to heighten/enhance sensory feedback? if this is the case, I think arguing this will guarantee said outcome is careless. The outcome will vary from player to...
