  1. Camera for recording matches?

    Hi guys, I am planning to record my and my team's matches next season, but I am on a low budget as usual. What specifications are needed for this? Can you recommend specific models?

    If you are good with the deception, these serves are lethal!

    Our team has 5 important matches left from last season. We were close to fell down one league, because clubs have closed and 4 teams out of 12 would go down. In the year I performed as expected with close to zero practice at the table (one practice in a month on average) and poor endurance. 41%...

    To be honest the guy's behaviour is... disrespectful. I hope you can feel how soft I am with that word.

    I was thinking about how the leagues will continue here. One possible solution is to play multiple matches at one facility and finish the leagues in two weeks. If so, endurance (especially if you play in an energy consuming style like me) will be extremely important. We will have like 4 crucial...

    thanks god we have more than a few rounds left. I hate that solution, except if the current ranking couldn't change.
  7. Higher or lower throw

    I just said they are not superior in gameplay. With a lower arc ball ofc the opponent has less time to react. Hovever based on the situation a higher arc loop can be more effective. More reaction time isn't better than good position. And a higher arc ball's trajectory is usually harder to...
  8. Higher or lower throw

    Nowadays I prefer higher arc rubbers. Otherwise I played well with H3, Acuda S1, Vega Pro, T64, Omega IV Asia. Lower arc loops are NOT superior to higher arc ones. Many top players play with T05 and actually use high and powerful loops. Fang Bo is a great example of a player who varies the arc...

    6 days and no post in Daily Chit Chat. That's really sad. All practice stopped here as well because of the virus. I hope I can hear your 'practice without table' stories!
  10. Chinese Kids Equipment

    I generally disagree on using thin rubbers for learning technique. I believe in both China and Japan the kid's equipment changes from club to club.In china, more kids will use Hurricane and cheap chinese rubbers and in japan more will use victas or Nittaku. But it depends on the coach.

    Last training session: I changed my FH rubber to Gewo Nexxus Pro EL 50. I will do a review, after I spent more time with it, because it's very different from my totally worn out Acuda. My results were worse than expected, mainly because the difference between my FH and BH rubbers and the change...

    Oh, I see. Happy is a better word. Somehow I unconscienciously connect it to being healthy.

    You're probably right about the makeup. But I remember his look (eyes) always felt tired, even when he smiled. I don't mean just physical tireness, mental as well. It was the same as me and other university students in the last semester (avg. 7-10 night without sleep per month). It's the look of...

    Random observation: Tom Maynard is 100% Yan An tamed down.

    Anyone else noticed how much ZJK looks to be in a better shape than when he tried to return?
  16. How to maintain level with infrequent play?

    I was/am in a similar situation, so decided to do shadow training every day if possible. I record my technique and correct it. When I am alone and have some free time I do trickshots, like catching the ball with both sides, catching spinny balls, rollers on kitchen table, aiming at something...

    I was sick, so could not play in the last two weeks. Tomorrow shadow training starts again! Then why I am here? Because I've seen a few matches from the hungarian open live! Probably they have been discussed, so I want to share details which are hard to spot watching streams. First: everyone was...

    Weekly report: last week we lost our "revenge match". One of us injured his shoulder in the first singles match and our strongest player was sick and played with fever. We put up a good fight in the beginning, but after we lost in just the second singles round, the motivation was gone. I am not...
  19. Best Brand Over-all?

    Butterfly, no question. But their prices are incredibly high. I only played with Tibhar rubbers so I don't know about their blades and balls, but they have good quality control. The other brand that comes to mind is Gewo. I played the Hype KR and I was satisfied with it. Also I bough some of...
