  1. ITTF/WTT problems reported from players

    Pretty sure there's a lot of illegal terms in the contract which are unenforceable and can be challenged in court.
  2. Backhand loop on side spin ball

    Actually, writing this out helped me realise that I'm not looping receives of my hook serve directed to my FH side correctly. I've been looping them as if it's curving outwards, but in reality those are curving inwards, I need to approach them like I'm looping a FH pendulum serve, ie need to...
  3. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    I meant for upcoming juniors. There's no guarantee that you would make it as a double inverted player either as there's 1001 kids playing the exact same way...
  4. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    He won't go far with the terrible footwork and weak FH that he has. A lot of it is just bullying the unfamiliarity of players on the tour with anti. It's just very annoying to see good players like Gauzy (who took LJK to 5th set decider) losing to guys like him who has significant technical...
  5. Backhand loop on side spin ball

    Yes that is correct, but your racket is still brushing clockwise around the ball like your normal stroke. I like to think of it like receiving serves. So, the spin from BH natural push receive of your hook/reverse pendulum serves = spin from opponent's FH pendulum serve. FH natural push receive...
  6. Backhand loop on side spin ball

    If it's popped up, just use the chiquita movement to kill it. Doesn't matter what the spin is.
  7. Backhand loop on side spin ball

    No, you misunderstood. If you think in terms of clockwise/anticlockwise it is easier to understand. Against the spin means you're brushing the ball (BH fade) to create anticlockwise spin which is opposite to the incoming spin which is clockwise. What I meant was continuing the spin in a...
  8. WTT 2024 feeder events

    Cho Dae Seong is definitely one of the most aesthetically pleasing style to watch. There's just something so fluid and powerful with his movements. If he brings his error rate down he would be a very dangerous opponent.
  9. Backhand loop on side spin ball

    This is literally the easiest spin to attack on the BH imo. A trick is that if the ball is curving left you also have to approach the ball going a bit leftward to increase your chances of contacting the ball solidly. Follow the ball with your body. If the ball exits the side you have to cut off...
  10. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    Yes I mean playing weird with inverted or pips/anti. The unfair thing is that the pips/anti player already enjoys this "unfamiliarity bonus" without doing all that much - it is simply equipment based. I also try to play quite weird with inverted and it works to my favour often. For e.g. my BH...
  11. Best anti to try out

    Hmm this sounds interesting, I will see if I can buy one and cause some real grief sometime in the future lol
  12. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    This is why it's not worth it to play standard in amateur TT. Anyone that plays standard is at a big disadvantage because of this effect you mentioned. Best to adopt the weirdest and most disgusting point patterns. You must have some specialities which ppl have no chance to practice against.
  13. Best anti to try out

    Ok I saw somewhere that it was like hundred dollars, I must be wrong
  14. Best anti to try out

    So I checked Butterfly Anti and it was as expensive as Dignics wtf... What are some better antis to try to use? I can basically play all of the LP like inverted shots like sideswipe, strawberry, chiquita, chopblock, short push, loop, counter. I saw some ppl using some sort of toxic green anti...
  15. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    Tbh Luka's inverted FH loop and footwork is quite bad for a pro. Olah was simply giving him long fast serves all the time and he could only piece together a lukewarm loop, and same with all the lukewarm FH soft flicks Olah was doing. If you gave the anti setup to any CNT player (even 2nd and 3rd...
  16. chinese rubbers and physical fitness

    Yes, this is where we admit we are not pros and switch to something easier like Dignics :(
  17. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    None of what Olah is doing is a flat hit. He is basically loopkilling all balls, which is extremely hard to do even for pros. It's a good strategy because he doesn't want to get dragged into a rally, and he doesn't mind making the errors.
  18. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    Nah if you search more there are anti attackers out there (who can also defend very well). I mean you can already check out Sreeja Akula, her style is definitely not all block at all. Sure inverted BH is cool af. I too hit ridiculous cool shots like a BH loopkill down the line or the chiquita...
  19. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    Gozo, it's no use complaining, you just gotta join them haha... just slap an anti on your BH and I reckon you'll play 2 levels higher at least given your current lack of a inverted BH game anyway.... Not sure why you're persisting in the inverted path lol, i feel like it's just a bit of...
  20. Should i go for fan zhendong super alc and dignics 05 combination both sides

    I think i have an even faster setup lol. Basically, you'll need a whole new skill set in terms of absorbing momentum, that you didn't think you needed. But it's a joy to attack with a fast setup, the ball really goes boom so easily.
