  1. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Thank you for the responses! Roday I had my first shadow session. I targeted these areas: 1. FH loop weight transfer. I have an exaggerated weight transfer movement. I can go full RSM, but lose balance or I straighten up after the loop and loosing mobility. I tend to straighten my right leg...
  2. Prize money at your national championships

    We had 8 players participate in our Top 12 championship. Everyone else preferred a calm weekend.
  3. Darko Jorgic - best backhand ever?

    Lol, average. He isn't BH oriented and actually most of his opponent try to play to his FH because it's weaker. Even Timo had problems with his BH opening loops. But I would never say he has the best BH in the world. Nevertheless, it's pretty damn strong. During practice...
  4. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Hello everyone! I am back to the forum after a long break. Since the autumn of 2018 I barely practiced, only played league matches, due to university and work. I found a video of me playing, so I decided to share with you. I still don't have time to practice more than once a week, but I decided...
  5. Revo Nr.3 vs Tibhar Clue vs Xiom Energy

    Hello there! The local TT shop doesn't have the Revo glue and I need glue pretty soon. The alternatives are Tibhar Clue or Xiom Energy. Which do you recommend? Based on the description the Xiom one works similarly to the Revo Nr.3, while the Tibhar is different, but still got a few good reviews...
  6. Darko Jorgic - best backhand ever?

    Well, someone mentioned Benedek Olah. I don't see the point of this arguement, but he can rip the ball pretty well too... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC3z3fV-kmI (Also, hi everyone, I haven't been there lately (due to univ.). I hope I can be more active from now on!
  7. Best FH in the world at the moment?

    Xu Xin has monstrous FH, with such quality, that only the very top players can deal with it. He has the most powerful FH. Ryu Seung Min, ZJK and Wang Liqin doesn't play internationally, so they are out. Ma Long and FZD are the second bests. Harimoto and Timo Boll and good contenders with their...
  8. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Hi everyone! Merry Christmas! I am back on the forum after a long break! I had to take back from table tennis training for a while, but now I am working and finally have money for coaching. Also fixed training with a promising youngster. I am very happy about this as I couldn't find a...

    I guess it's just T2 with more top player...
  10. Japan Open 2018 - a beginning of the new trend?

    I see your point. They play similar, but the differences are there. HT is more active and tries to finish the point earlier. He does much more fast attacks off the bounce on the BH side and uses this more effectively. LYJ likes to step around and attacks continously with his FH more. Also, his...
  11. Falco and tuning H3

    Well, I don't think that's a good idea (you did it already, so...). If you overboost the H3 it might get mushy and have a very low arc. Hard sponge doesn't mean that it don't have more spring. I only boosted H3 Neo and normal Skyline 2. Skyline 2 was a brick, the H3 Neo had some spring. I think...

  13. Japan Open 2018 - a beginning of the new trend?

    It supposed to be an answer to the post, where someone wrote that Lin Yun Ju plays like Harimoto....just my tablet browser didn't quoted the original post.
  14. Japan Open 2018 - a beginning of the new trend?

    No different from LYJ? In what world?
  15. myth: too fast equipment hinder development

    Well, kids first here use off- blades and average speed rubbers. I believe that's the good way. Fast and spinny rubbers like an MX-P are bad for development. It's easy to generate high speed and spin, but beginners can't control it correctly. First you want stability. Stability comes from doing...
  16. The importance of feel

    Actually, I believe doing similar trickshots or excersizes, you develop your fine motor skills, so your touch improves. To get a good feeling before matches, I like to open up backspin balls. First, slow and heavy spin loops, just over the net. Then more powerful loops. Many people think they...
  17. Service return advice

    Yeah, something like that. The key is that you don't have to try hard imparting heavy spin on your own. If you return a heavy backspin ball this way your ball will be a light backspin ball. But it will be safe. Of course during training you have to try to push through, but usually it's enough in...
  18. Service return advice

    Hold the racket softly and don't push it forward first. This way you can return short heavy backspin safely. As you improve you will be able to control more the length and spin. During training you can practice other options but if you are in league match just try to do this dropshot short and...
  19. Thailand Open

    I didn't said that they weren't good. I was just referring to the urban legends saying exactly that china has more than 100 players who can beat any foreign player. They are good. Their standard is much higher than any other countries'. But they're far from the level described in these myths.
