  1. Which top player(s) inspired you to play?

    Ditto here! Also Stellan Bengtsson got me playing table tennis, especially he is indeed also left-handed. Therefore, my love always goes out to all left-handed table tennis players :love: I started playing table tennis in 1975 and first saw him live in 1977 at the World Championships in Birmingham.
  2. How many fake left-handers are there?

    I am left-handed because I do all sports on the left. Football, all racket sports, basketball (left on top of the ball), darts, golf, etc...but...they taught me to write left at the time in school because we had to learn to write right there. I can get by with right in table tennis a little bit...
  3. Luka Mladenovic EASILY beats Darko Jorgic - can you explain the power of AntiSpin?

    His BH movements are abominably bad but he has indeed apparently learned his own movements with the anti. It is un-be-liev-able that someone with so little technique can still make it this far. I keep asking myself then, why didn't this guy just learn good basic technique? Why didn't he just...
  4. Luka Mladenovic EASILY beats Darko Jorgic - can you explain the power of AntiSpin?

    Mmmmm, I don't think that either. The movements with his BH are terrible, but it works for him.

    Of course, if you gain 20cm each time on your playing surface and hide your service, you will come a long way obviously.
  6. Luka Mladenovic EASILY beats Darko Jorgic - can you explain the power of AntiSpin?

    Forgive me, but this is a typical textbook example of how someone who is totally not technically proficient on his BH can still win a match thanks to equipment. His FH did improve I notice.
  7. More tacky = more spin??

    3. Use your wrist Yamas
  8. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    Has nothing at all to do with anti or Yuna. Winter played a very demotivated match with huge unforced errors. You can't win a match like that, of course.
  9. Anyone play with a total knee replacement?

    Yes. Friday night is my weekly TT night. I'm 65 now, after all these years you do start to feel the prostheses more where exactly they are but that's all to do with decreasing your muscle strength around the knee (quadriceps). I am also not of the leanest so they should be able to carry more...
  10. Europe Top-16 Cup 2025

    Very definitely not.
  11. Europe Top-16 Cup 2025

    I just watched her match and that is indeed how it works for her. Sabine has a tremendously fast and powerful FH.
  12. Benyamin Faraji 14 years old.

    I fear that Benyamin within 10 years, he is going to have problems with his shoulder muscle. Hopefully not!

  14. CORKSCREW --the best rewarding type of spin.

    He calls it strawberry! :LOL: 🍓😵‍💫
  15. CORKSCREW --the best rewarding type of spin.

    This is nice! In my view, only a "roller" is a corkscrew because then the ball rotates through its horizontal, vertical and diagonal axis as well, making the ball spiral (backwards).
  16. CORKSCREW --the best rewarding type of spin.

    All Adam does is finish with an opposite arm movement to the spin he puts into his ball. They are just side spin balls with back/top spin.
  17. CORKSCREW --the best rewarding type of spin.

    OMG, an “ordinary” sidespin with backspin. Ok, let we call it a corkscrew in the future.
  18. CORKSCREW --the best rewarding type of spin.

    Okay, show me a corkscrew spin.
  19. CORKSCREW --the best rewarding type of spin.

    Corkscrew bal....🤦‍♂️
  20. CORKSCREW --the best rewarding type of spin.

    The hit point to play a so called corkscrew is in the same place in billiards and table tennis. Back/top spin & side spin going around their axis simultaneously gives a spiral motion. It's some handy media people who think they've reinvented the wheel that came up with such a name I suppose. In...
