  1. How do you block a flat fast drive from short pips?

    Yep it is unfair, and there is no reason why you shouldnt join them too LOL. You should watch this: This is also what I plan to do with anti, I feel like I can easily transform the rally into whatever i want, be it topspin counter or dead balls or even sinking fast light underspin balls or...
  2. How to stop 3rd ball loop attack?

    Basically chiquita eats this serve for breakfast. I love it when ppl serve this to me, it means i get a free 1st attack. If he goes for the FH pivot i will actually contact chiquita on the left side even more to increase sidespin and increase the angle even more so that if they still wanna pivot...
  3. Looking for a no gears/variables setup

    Apparently you can get some topspin action on anti. I havent got the chance to try mine out yet but from these videos it appears to be possible.
  4. How do you block a flat fast drive from short pips?

    I either open angle counter it back (which gives no spin), or open angle spin it back (but pretty much with the spin coming from the fingers). If you try doing nothing with the block it is indeed going down straight into the base of the net unfortunately.
  5. How low is your stance (for loops etc)

    Yes, i see some adult players trying to do like 90 deg knee bends, it doesnt work because they are not Fan Zhendong or Zhang Jike with massive quads. Much easier to bend forward at the hips which is what most pro players do anyway. You only really need something like 20 deg knee bend for the...
  6. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    Funny, my tackiness enhanced D05 performs almost exactly like the national version here...
  7. How low is your stance (for loops etc)

    Going low is not all about bending at the knees but really more at the hips. Too much knee bending actually makes you slower. The knee bend actually doesnt lower your centre of gravity by much.
  8. Recent forum performance....

    Yep same here, very slow
  9. Felix the champion

    Felix solved the speed problem of the FH in RPB penhold play. He takes the ball early off the bounce both on BH and FH. Although he doesnt use the traditional FH big loopkill this speed advantage finally puts him at par with all the new gen speedsters like Harimoto and Lin Shidong. I think...
  10. Jpen vs Cpen

    Yes. When i faced against penholders, there is nothing they can do against a quality short heavy sidetopspin or pure no spin/mild topspin serve that can seriously harm me. If they do any kind of push it is always attackable for me be it flick or loop. So it forces them to flick the ball which...
  11. Jpen vs Cpen

    I have been talking about this for some time: You should put inverted on FH and OX LP on your BH side, train up unbeatable serve/3rd ball FH loopkill, and then on receive it would be OX LP receive (makes you immune to short spinny serves) + 3rd ball FH loopkill. If they serve long just pivot...
  12. Club level players using Counter-Loop vs block?

    I recommend the mini counterloop (not the Ma Long style full blown FH counterloop kill), but similar to what the women use which is pretty much an abbreviated topspin stroke. It is not a block (which is too passive) nor a counterloop (which is too risky). I am quite good with this stroke and can...
  13. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Cant play TT for some while but i was at home playing with the antispin racket. It was pretty funny, i did some standard heavy backspin serves into the air towards myself and used the antispin side to receive it, it was funny that the heavy backspin ball did not react much on the racket at all...
  14. WTT CHAMPIONS MONTPELLIER

    Xiang Peng's BH weakness finally revealed in this loss to Felix. It was ridiculous how he was winning only like 20% of the points BH-BH and this is why he will never get up to Lin Shidong's level... You really need a good BH to stay at the top these days, one sided play just aint it.
  15. Do pros push topspin serves?

    I cant believe all the answers. Yes they do it all the time. Even I can short or long push topspin serves if they are short. Watch Fang Bo and Yuya Oshima demonstrate this. 11 mins
  16. Jpen vs Cpen

    Lol if you like your grips so much, you should really try Wingspan from WRM. I feel like it is gonna be so fun to play with.
  17. WTT CHAMPIONS MONTPELLIER

    Sorry to say but this viewing angle absolutely went back to shit....
  18. Countering heavy top challenge

    It is almost impossible to cheat in badminton. The atmosphere is definitely better imo. And you get a way better aerobic workout with badminton.
  19. Countering heavy top challenge

    He is definitely cheating, but what Im saying is that there's even worse cheaters around. This is why sometimes I hate this sport and prefer badminton at times.
  20. Countering heavy top challenge

    This is actually still tossed somewhat vertically, I would be happy to receive it personally. That day I played a guy who literally throws the ball horizontally into his paddle to create some gigantic weird spin serves, plus he was actually hiding it a bit. Unfortunately it was only for fun so I...
