Then it is quite unfortunate... sometimes to win you cant be so nice.

If you play with good technique you can use anything really. 09c is probably easier to transition from hurricane, but 05 is possible too. Beware of the effect on the serve and receive game though, this is where I think the biggest differences lie.

He was always kinda second after Lin Shidong. He has a really good FH attack, a bit reminiscent of Ma Long especially with the great FH flicks and loop placement and the disciplined/compact strokes with both spin and power. His BH is definitely not up to LSD standard (when LSD BH is on he is...

Even without twiddling, just using LP/anti one can do rather strong attacks especially against pushes. The stronger the incoming backspin the stronger the anti 'loop' attack can be. But obviously this will be a topspin attack which can still be blocked or countered by the inverted opponent to...

Yes that is correct. It pays off to be 'special' in table tennis. Furthermore, different pips strokes achieve different spin reversal (even generation), and the way that it is interacting with the inverted side is also different. If you have special weapons then it is hard for other ppl to get...

Yep. I actually have a solution for Harimoto - develop his own hidden serve variation by simply leaving his free arm out to hide the contact when he plays against a serve cheater like WCQ. If WCQ complains then Harimoto can make a counter complaint. Since the referees are all blind, might as...

I agree, unlike Luka, Sabine actually has the proper FH technique and movement to finish off weak balls. Whereas Luka basically has no finishing power on his FH. I think Sabine actually hits even harder than Luka even as a woman. But the other problem is that a lot of women players are quite...

This is why I'm using anti now haha... I don't see all that many weaknesses tbh, i can attack, counter and block quite well with it too, just not with crazy topspin unlike inverted. The main advantage is becoming almost invulnerable in serve receive lol. Anyway his opponents are all playing...

The other thing I wanted to mention as a long time D05 user is that you absolutely need to know the exact spin type on the ball. There are 7 major types - pendulum sideunder, pendulum sidetop, reverse pendulum sideunder, reverse pendulum sidetop, pure heavy under, no spin, pure topspin. If you...

Same head hidden serves too!!

I really like Kuo Guan Hong's playstyle. He has the same ultra spinny BH game like Lin Yun Ju, but he has a better FH structure than Lin as it is more compact and speedy (no offence but LYJ's FH leaves a lot to be desired at times and often lets him down). Kid also has a pretty solid FH push...

If you invest some time to learn: 1) short stroke topspins on both wings, with massive spin production from finger action and most of the movement coming from body alone. Not retreating to mid distance and doing relaxed looping. 2) proper short push and block technique where you rob momentum...

I went the same way lol. It may have some interesting results. I dont like that she is always chopblocking and doesnt counter the topspins enough. If the opponent knows that she is always gonna chopblock when faced with spinny topspins then they can just stay close table and prepare for a...

How high are you tossing? My feeling is that Dignics has a different mechanics to serve which almost requires that the ball sinks into the sponge quite a bit. The easiest way to do this is with higher toss (min above head level in my experience). I also have trouble really controlling low toss...

Once you can generate very strong spin with wrist and fingers you dont need all wood to feel the ball anymore. Carbon blades are just faster with less effort so stroke can be made shorter without compromising power. Short stroke big power is very advantageous in the modern plastic ball game. A...

Probably all AI generated lol

My feeling is that with pips/anti one has the chance to upset a player with superior spin technique, but they are also prone to getting upset by other lower level players. When I was double inverted, if i had better spin generation and handling than my opponent on the other side (assuming he...

Not me of course because I dont play enough. But i have seen it happen. For eg a guy called Lei Lei Lei (penhold illegal long pips guy) actually defeated a young Lin Gaoyuan lol...

Havent played in months and i think i dont even have the stamina to chase loop after loop lol. Someone pretty solid challenged me to a match and even though I lost 1 set i won 3 back with not even close scores. I had too many direct service points or setups, and he was just eating my BH anti...

This is the problem with double inverted against someone who has spin levels way above you (for eg pros). You will never win the spin generation game and therefore will be at a disadvantage in every single area from serve/receive to blocks against loops to topspin rallies. Just be loading up the...
