Think about Bruce Lee's one inch punch and he managed to generate so much power with such little motion. I agree with you that it is harder, but I've been surprised before with what can be done with proper timing, weight transfer and contact position/type.

I wonder how much effort will it take to kidnap LGL, sneak him across the world and smuggle him into Dallas Texas where I can ball-and-chain him in my garage and force him to teach me his secrets. I feel like it's doable.

"Failed national player, fetch us a ball"... I totally lost it after that. Bravo

XX strong appearance in doubles may also be his undoing. Sadly, ZJK doesn't need to be better at singles than XX, just suck more than XX at doubles. I haven't had a chance to really follow the three, but my take so far is that XX and ML have really come a long way, ZJK has mostly stagnated...

Bigger talent pool. If it was strictly their training paradigm and regime then no European/Japanese athlete would be close to the top 100 (much less top 10). However, while 50% of the top 10 world ranked players may be Chinese, only 6% of the top 100 are Chinese too.

Unless you are NL, then your opponent couldn't be him... but then, I just commented on your comment on how I think you may be me, so I doubt you are NL (if you are me), in either case, I'm wrong because I don't remember this match, and I certainly don't remember being NL.

Are you me?

This notion that lifting weights will cause one to "bulk up" is mostly fallacious. Bulk and mass comes from supplementing intense workout with heavy supplements to push your body beyond its natural state. A lot of "bulk" you notice in lifters is due to high caloric intake and in many cases...

How old are you? How much do you weigh? When was your last physical? Have you ever been to a podiatrist or been fitted with custom orthotics before? I myself hit 35, and am no longer 25, am grossly overweight and after a knee injury and a recent foot injury realizes a little late that there are...

The rubbers have been boosted with baby oil so they will never undome. I want to know what glue (water based or otherwise) can I use that is strong enough to keep the rubbers sticking but not to where the blade will be ruined if I try to remove them later.

Over boosted my coworker's rubber and now the excessive dome keeps the rubber from sticking to blade using WBG. Coworker does not compete, I just want him to have gear that can help him keep up with me. Will Elmer glue be strong enough? If so, when replacing rubbers, can it cause the wood to...

I fear the current lack of quality control and exorbitant prices is establishing a dangerous precedent.

Also, how many tenergy rubbers does he go through in a month? Also, also, say hi to Dirk Nowitzki, from a mavs fan

why does he think boosting is unfair? If ITTF revoked the boosing is illegal law, would he still think it's unfair? Since sponsored top tier athletes have nicer equipment and the ability to change out expensive rubbers much more frequently than average players, what measures can be taken to...

So I thought I'd follow UCD's lead. I' talk a lot about how I think my style matches xu xin, that I built my foundation studying him (and other pen holders) and via YouTube vids. There have been al lot of insightful comments so Ive decided to solicit some advice. I should add Im a 35 years old...

This is hilarious. I just got rid of my "rocket launcher" (though, more of a relative term when it comes to the rest of my gear) as well! But, I am so happy I got to build it and try it for a few days! I recently built a shake hand paddle (I'm pen holder left handed, but shake hand right...

I boost my opponents' paddles before playing so they can stand a chance against me.

I get we don't have an infinite number of attempts, but even if we simplified the trick and put a limit of say 25 tries (such as 25 tries or less to knock down 1 ball). I know many of us can't record/upload a video, but they could chime in and say something like "got it in 13 tries" or "got it...

Very nice Dan! I think this would make a great competition as long as people are being honest. Prompt the members to attempt the 3-in-a-row trick and report back with the number of tries it takes? When I have a chance to do so (and I don't forget to try) I will look for this post and report...

I always joke when playing with coworkers, if you smash than either hit the table or the opponent.
