  1. LF: Butterfly Blades

    I know pro and semi-pro players, who like the ZJK ALC and it's their choosen weapon, but the Viscaria somehow didn't fit their style, despite the minor differences. They tried multiple blades from both series.
  2. Killer Spin upgrade

    As you're new, you must know: Carl is the wise man here, better to be aware if he says something ;) (seriously) The usually recommended cheaper chinese alternative is the Dawei 2008XP.
  3. I am blaming myself in matches, how do I stop?

    I perform better in tournaments than in league matches. I learned to control myself enough that I can keep my fighting spirit or I can be calm and analytical, but the results are still worse than in training matches. However, my consistency improved with better self-control.
  4. Can we reverse shrinking?

    I don't stretch it evenly. I stretch it more in upward-downward direction when I place the rubber on the blade. After it's on the blade, I use the roller to stretch the rubber in every direction. This gives you a 'mechanical boost' effect. This method is certainly bad for the rubber, that's why...
  5. Can we reverse shrinking?

    I stretch the rubber with a roller. Boosting in itself won't work. I did the same today (used small Tenergy boosted and stretched onto my old beginner blade (limba-ayous-ayous-ayous-limba, ALL+ speed, great feeling). I will try it on Friday.
  6. Outrageous wiggle by Simon Gauzy!

    Gauzy did a very nasty trick, namely he only used his racket's angle and the incoming spin. If you look at it carefully, he only does a fake followthrough, there is no true followthrough. He simply just touches the ball from the opposing side you would expect from his followthrough and probably...
  7. I am blaming myself in matches, how do I stop?

    You know about the problem, so just keep fighting against it. Write a card which says:'Hey man, you gonna lose this way! Calm down!' Every time you feel yourself angry read this card, take a breath and calm down. Do this till you can do it by yourself.
  8. LF: Butterfly Blades

    Then just ask them where can you find a dealer. So you don't have to directly buy from them.
  9. Outrageous wiggle by Simon Gauzy!

    I thought it's officially named 'The Snake' by Adam Bobrow.
  10. Can Timo Boll's victory give rest of world belief?

    The problem is that the ITTF WR isn't based on a pure Élő rating. Élő points only represent the players effectiveness, while ITTF uses bonus points. So if you attend more tournament and always get a stable good result, you will have better rating than a player who only attends a few tournaments...
  11. Are there any non-Asian penholders?

    Depending on your view, Cazuo Matsumoto and Qiu Dang.
  12. LF: Butterfly Blades

    Baljit & Co. are the official Butterfly distributors in India, at least they say so. Here is their email: [email protected] I am sure that you can ask them.
  13. World Cadet Challange

    Just a thread to discuss this event. Funny that in the teams challenge event in the first round every team match was 5-0. Asia beat Hopes. Europe beat Africa. N-America beat Fiji-Pacific. L-America beat Oceania. ---------------------- Team Europe has András Csaba, Hungary's top young player...
  14. Can Timo Boll's victory give rest of world belief?

    Back then Hungary was world No.1, but that's the past. Walther and Duda made progression, but it was a short burst and as I said, they are still out of top 50. Qiu is developing consistently, but he is kind of lacking the attacking mentality and plays a controlled attacking game. I don't know...
  15. Can Timo Boll's victory give rest of world belief?

    This phrase exists in hungarian too. And the problem is, that China still has 20 times as much good young player than Germany. Please, tell me who is the german prodigy? Patrick Franziska? Duda Benedikt? Neither is in the top 50. The best german U18 player is Tobias Hippler, ranked 38. Actually...
  16. Primorac Vs Korbel

    That's the point. In our club, most of the kids use Primorac. One of my teammates, who is quite strong, uses Korbel. They are very similar, both good allwood blade for attacking style. Korbel is faster. Korbel can be used at nearly any level, Primorac is a little slow when you're above a strong...
  17. Can Timo Boll's victory give rest of world belief?

    I think Hugo Calderano has the greatest potential right now. He has power and speed, still lacks tactics. Maybe he is predictable for the other top players, that's why he isn't among the very top western players. It's one of the biggest issues that european players can't keep up with the speed...
  18. Can Timo Boll's victory give rest of world belief?

    He looks bored if you look at his back. :) He really really rarely chooes and his stance looks like he is just standing, but it's not true. He is ready. He is working hard. He enjoys playing. He enjoys winning. Sometimes you see that after winning a match he quietly quits the court. It's not...
  19. Two HUGE losses for Lin Gaoyuan. What will this mean?

    After Boll beating Ma long it get's a little different perspective, but even ML beating TB would mean nothing. He will get more chances, because he is the best CNT can work with. German Open will be a real trial, it'll be like a mini (or more like midi) WTTC. Anyway, CNT now sends more players...
  20. Men's World Cup 2017

    By the way I am curious what would happen if it's ZJK, not LGY. ZJK might play shitty nowadays, but still... he definitely has the nerves to finish a match.
