On this thread, where pretty much everyone told you your backhand receive technique is too unreliable and that the main issue isn't reading the serve or trajectory, and your response was basically "what the fk is going on, nobody knows what they are talking about, the issue is reading the...

I have suggested that on a few occasions before, but up to you

I'm aware, as I said, Frankfurt is where most international flights are going to get you into

Are you over 2200 or know a lot of people who are? You might be surprised how unaware many high level players can be about small details of equipment like this. Hitting harder seems to me another way of saying "full activation of the rubber".

Also only a ~1.5 hour train + short taxi ride from Frankfurt which is the main airport where most international flights come in from

What does playing away from the table have to do with it - hitting harder?

I don't believe that any hybrid rubber, D09c included, can last 150 hours without significant performance drop off that will noticeably affect your play.

Not true for every single shot, including the one you are struggling with here. Just because something works sometimes doesn't mean that it is reliable or the best way of doing something for maximum results. You could have this guy tell you what serve he is doing and to where, and with the...

It's not about adjustment. Look at the pushes and tap shots you did on the forehand - there was no adjustment, from the second you saw the ball you decided you were going to push and your hand stayed in the same position the whole time. Example at 00:33 at 1:58. Look at the two serves starting...

If it is a spin and trajectory reading issue how come you successfully received nearly all of your passive forehand receives, but missed a large percentage of the more active backhand receives? Because your eyes work differently on your forehand compared to backhand? Or because your technique...

I have mentioned before that Zezima using hard tacky unreactive rubbers on a blade like W968 makes no sense because 1) he doesn't have a lot of arm speed or acceleration even on his topspin shots 2) he often takes the ball when it has dropped a lot already 3) he "taps" the ball on most of his...

Emmanuel Lebesson.

There are high level players from the world class level down to the national levels who serve extremely illegally, who play in tournaments refereed by qualified referee. And yet they've been serving highly illegally for years and get away with it most of the time. That is my point. It sounds...

He probably wouldn't be faulted out of any decent level competition lol. I wouldn't assume that it is that malicious...definitely goofy though

Be careful of plugging your social media links in every post you make here or you may lose your audience fast. What is the reason you ask about what level to aim to be before the tournament - are you trying to win medals in those events? Just hold your own against the competition?

That guy's serve routine is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen but the serves themselves are bad and the toss probably isn't giving him any advantage. If a guy serves everything long top spin to the same two spots for an entire match you have to be able to actively receive it.

That's great I'd love to see that too. But who is providing those numbers comprehensively? Victormanriquey?

I think everyone knows that the brand measurements cannot be compared cross-brand and that they are not truly objective but they are just meant to give customers a point of comparison. Maybe not. But I think this is common knowledge. You say there is absolute no way to compare products cross...

Are you cutting a mattress to your personal body size and then expending most of the product's useful life during a 100 day trial period? No. You would be for table tennis equipment. TT brands also provide clear information about their products and how they compare - most of them give you...

So in some cases you are recommending your customers equipment that you have tried for 30 minutes maximum? And people are letting you borrow their rackets for days and weeks at a time?
