  1. Bodybuilding in Tabletennis !

    It's simple. Bodybuilders want muscle mass, table tennis players want fast muscles. It's harder to be fast with more muscle mass. More muscle mass means more muscle fibers. More muscle fibers are harder to contract in the same time, so you movement will be slower. Also, if you train a lot with...
  2. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    And every set stops at 11. No more exciting long matches. It's short and deadly. I don't like it.

  5. NOW LIVE: Russian Premier League Final 2017!

    Another wow. They stopped at 11-10. 1-0 to Fang Bo UPDATES: 1-1 Fang Bo's face is like 'you told me it will be easy?!' Two timeout. Fang Bo was saved by his super-serve. (very deceiptive very short serve) But this wasn't enough to stop Denis. 2-1, 11-10 to Denis IvoninF Fang Bo's form is back...
  6. NOW LIVE: Russian Premier League Final 2017!

    Wow.Samsonov won't play. Denis Ivonin plays instead of him.
  7. NOW LIVE: Russian Premier League Final 2017!

    Mizutani beats Shibaev 3-2, 7-5 in the decider. I think Fang Bo was announced in the middle of season, when you can bring in new players, but he was used only in the semifinal and now in the final.

    It's might be because you don't hit the ball at the top. During training you can use the right power - spin ratio, but during matchplay when you try to hit the ball stronger you can't generate enough spin, or you generate enough spin but this add more power. Next time try to conscientiously...
  9. Why single-ply hinoki not popular in plastic ball era

    1.Not everybody likes the feel of hinoki. 2.The thickness looks strange. 3.Heavy, and lots of people likes light blades. 4.It's mainly used in JPen. It's advertised mainly in JPen. 5.No pro player use shakehand 1 ply Hinoki. 6.Because of the above, only a few people seen a Hinoki blade and they...
  10. Looking to buy two rubbers !!!!

    Well, nearly every top-class rubber would do. Lets say MX-P.
  11. T2 Asia Pacific Table Tennis League 2017!

    There is 15 men and 17 women and they said that the final slots are filled. Strange.
  12. Butterfly Rozena Rubber Review

    It depends on if you want to chop with FH or not. If yes, don't buy Rozena. Rozena is bouncy and bouncy rubbers are bad for chopping. If you want just loop and lob with FH then you can go for Rozena. However I think there are better options for modern defence. But I don't know your level, how...
  13. Looking for KPEN blade

    Wow. I just realized Qiu Dang uses RPB with Jpen blade! :O
  14. T2 Asia Pacific Table Tennis League 2017!

    Yesss! We will know the true strength of the young chinese players. I guess Shang Kun will be chosen early in the draft, but whom would you choose: Shibaev or Chuqin? Samsonov or Dingshuo? Chen Chien An or Xu Fei? These guys are very good, but they don't have too much international experience...

    In the vs. Leshinsky video you did a much better job (didn't see the whole match). I used to play against trained kids in the training sessions and players weaker than me in the league, which is different than your case. And reading serves is something that improves only with playing (though...
  16. Butterfly Rozena Rubber Review

    Yeah, Zhu Yuling using Rozena shocked me too. But don't forget that women tend to have longer rallies and better stability might worth more than the extra spin. I don't think we will see any men using it in the top 100. Another thing to consider is the reaction to boosters. I believe none of...
  17. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I see in your videos that both you and many of your opponents have some good skills, but neither of you have a complete game. For example you have good loops, stable shots during rally, but I feel that you are not friend with short game and your serve receive is a little predictable. I think you...
  18. In search of a new blade

    I think you would like my blade. Unfortunately, it's only available in Hungary. It doesn't has a good 'feeling' like Virtuoso and it's quite stiff, but not hard (limba outer ply). It has a textreme (glassfiber+aluminium) layer next to the core. However it's very reliable. Good short game, good...
  19. In which countries is table tennis booming in popularity?

    That's what would be necessary everywhere. Talented players shouldn't fight for training (good training is not a small amount of money).
