  1. Tips for the backhand loop technique

    Which direction is your elbow pointing when you start the stroke?
  2. UTT Season 6 Player roster is out

    After many displays of self-assured ignorance he has graduated from "there's no way anybody could have CNT-related contacts" to "your direct sources who share their experience with you in confidence aren't reliable, but public statements put out by the team are", so we're making progress!
  3. Why are we so adamant about grippy rubber needing tensor?

    I think what he is going for is that the SE is a simplified but still modernized version of the iPhone, whereas the 5 is made from outdated hardware and has a maximum storage capacity that doesn't suit modern usage.
  4. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    Just tell Fan Siqi that she will need to bring at least 3 pieces of direct evidence to TTD, preferably a sworn video statement from Liu Guoliang, to satisfy Shine's burden of proof. Until then, he will throw a tantrum and call everyone liars because they posted information that contradicts what...
  5. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    Of course its not sacrosanct but direct info from people directly connected is worth sharing and carries more weight by nature. But if you're so determined to seek truth then post your disputes and disproving evidence rather than the same tired "you're lying about having direct CNT info"...
  6. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    Oh, I fully knew you were going to call me a liar yet again since know-it-alls like yourself don't learn, such as from the last time you made an ass out of yourself thinking that CNT clones were a conspiracy theory or expired practice. As I've written before to someone else, the fact that you...
  7. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    I've been told otherwise by former provincial players and coaches who were closely connected to those involved, but, I am sure you will call it hearsay
  8. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    Partially because he was LGL's chosen one, perhaps also because he has an established position as one of the big 3
  9. How much do you think a old beat up Viscaria should sell for?

    Should be $40 max but if you can scam one of those weirdos with the fetish for 10 year old Viscarias as if they age like fine wine, then go for it..
  10. Why are we so adamant about grippy rubber needing tensor?

    The whole point of Rozena/Glayzer is to give a beginner friendly introduction to modern rubber feeling that is suited to work to the new ball. Other companies have similar product lines. And they do a good job of doing this. Another huge myth I see here is that sponsored coaches/players have...
  11. Finally grasped the essence of table tennis biomechanical principle Chinese style! (Chain reaction of power from the ground) (UPDATED AGAIN)

    Hitting 50-100 consecutively in practice is basically a practice for early beginners as they're just grasping the concept of making the ball hit the table. But after the beginner levels, 50-100 shots is not practical if you're doing anything besides for single strokes cross court especially when...
  12. Liang Jingkun signs with LOKI

    Do they advertise it as "better quality component made"? If so, I wasn't aware. Do you have any example?
  13. Liang Jingkun signs with LOKI

    For the player named versions of Butterfly blades, there are still clearly noted differences in head size, thickness, handle and wing shape, and maybe other things, even if the wood comps are all the same. So while the blades are similar construction wise, those things make a difference. And...
  14. Finally grasped the essence of table tennis biomechanical principle Chinese style! (Chain reaction of power from the ground) (UPDATED AGAIN)

    I didn't say to just "arm swing" - but just to temper down the leg/hip/core movement and re-direct it forwards instead of so much upwards. You are free to disagree as much as you want, I won't be interested in or useful towards contributing further until I see video of you consistently putting...
  15. Finally grasped the essence of table tennis biomechanical principle Chinese style! (Chain reaction of power from the ground) (UPDATED AGAIN)

    Well there are plenty of videos on the internet that are easy to find of people doing proper forehands but I don't think trying to learn from imitating a video of someone else is very useful either. You need to feel things out for yourself but to guide yourself in the right direction you need to...
  16. Finally grasped the essence of table tennis biomechanical principle Chinese style! (Chain reaction of power from the ground) (UPDATED AGAIN)

    What nuance am I disregarding? There are plenty of videos online of people doing proper stable forehand drives and they are very different from what you're doing with your body in the shadow stroke video, if this is your way to question my credentials you are free to disregard my opinion but I...
  17. Finally grasped the essence of table tennis biomechanical principle Chinese style! (Chain reaction of power from the ground) (UPDATED AGAIN)

    In pretty much every way - the upper body rotation is way overdone and not in the right direction - you should be rotating mostly forwards rather than mostly upwards as you are in that video, same for the hips and left leg rotation, the arm speed is almost certainly not the speed you will be...
  18. 5 Winners and 5 Losers from the World Championships

    She might be better, I wouldn't want to say for sure, my point is that I don't think Anna is so much better that losing to Amy would be considered a big upset or unexpected in any way
