  1. Thick sponge or thin sponge for people starting out?

    In the past, people always clearly left with thinner sponges, usually 1.8 To learn your basic strokes, that's fine. After a (long) period of fortitude, it was usually switched to 2.0 or 2.2 mousse. If you learn loopings/topspin with 1.8, I think you are also going to learn them more easily with...
  2. Banish long pips

    * thats true! ** Thanks to the material. 95% chance that if you give him a simple inverter the set positions could be just the opposite.

    LSD is therefore the more complete player than WCQ.

    There is nothing wrong with a simple primitive BH-service

    A failed time out by SY's coach at 2-1 and 10/9.
  6. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    I put my money on the kid from video 4.;)
  7. How much training and how to train to become a professional?

    Having talent at a young age is also not enough. There are so many factors involved in trying to make it as a pro later on. I was lucky enough to know J-M Saive and got to play against him three times at official tournaments. J-M was a very good youth player, he was coached by his father at the...
  8. How much training and how to train to become a professional?

    Surely you are forgetting one important point and that is having talent. Having talent for a ball sport and possessing an exceptional innate reflex. If you lack either of these, you can assume that it will be very difficult to make it into the top 100. I know someone who was really very...
  9. Gewo Inventus XT PRO tests

    I think when it says XT Pro you can assume it's a grip-full rubber. I have been playing with a Hype XT Pro 40.0 for years and this rubber also has super good grip. I suppose it is typical of the XT series.

    I have been saying/writing this for years, there is far too little parallel play or body play in table tennis. They are all madly trained with diagonal drills.
  11. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    Sorry, but the current generation of referees laughed a bit at table tennis rules. They know Truls serves illegally, they know the Lebrun brothers serve illegally, they know WCQ serves illegally but still no sactions are given, just sporadic warnings.

    It also seems pretty clear to me. Alex's servics (and not only him) definitely do not go less than 30° upwards, you can see that with the naked eye. The fault always lies with the wretched umpires who dare not take responsibility and as long as this does not happen, they will continue to give...

    Je moet "bijna verticaal" gooien. Wat betekent "bijna verticaal"? Dat betekent dat de werphoek kleiner moet zijn dan 30 graden (gebaseerd op ITTF-regelgeving over het TTR-systeem).

    Is normal, Harimoto's natural reaction time of BH > FH is always less than that of his opponents.
