No difference You always know which direction to start to rotate or move... Where You like to serve has no meaning here. Doubles is a different game. Cheers L-zr

Not arbitrary at all. If You think about it, it defines the star for 2 right handers where the first 2 players move to right and backwards. The start would be much more haphazard if the serve was not diagonal... Cheers L-zr

And I say, "wow lots'a spin on that one"... Cheers L-zr

Wouldn't it be easier just to say spin instead of second speed? I realize that what You call second speed has two component spin an speed. But it ultimately depends on the spin of the ball... To me a ball always leaves the racket with 3 components, speed, spin and angle (against the table...

Actually there is a special video thread that is for this purpose where only selected people are allowed to comment. It’s called something with “video safe bla bla…” Find that thread and post there. Then you will get more valid opinions… Cheers L-zr

In both videos. Don’t compare yourself to them, they hit much harder. Compare yourself to someone with about the same experience. If your ball goes long then adjust your stroke accordingly… Close your racket angle and hit more forward. It will happen when you start hitting harder. Cheers L-zr

I don’t think it’s that bad. Remember that tacky Hurricane rubbers have a lower throw than non tacky ones. This means a more upward movement or more open racket angle is called for. What I saw was that you have tendency to step forward with your right leg. This will forfeit your hip rotation...

A very low energy style, perfect for a 70yo if the player is fast enough. I am not saying I will do better against this style but it’s mostly a matter of getting used to. Unfortunately not too many players with this style to practice against. This style is using your spin and speed against...

Seal it again since you may have taken the first layer of. After it has dried, rough it up ever so slightly so that the glue has something to grip. After this you don’t need to do this again… But a sealed blade is no absolute guarantee against ripping, but it definitely reduces the possibility…...

Obviously this game, specially the first one. Appelgren - jialiang. WC 1989 Here is an interesting documentary about Swedish TT and how the team built up for that event. With English subtitles Cheers L-zr

You my friend are a dirty ol’ man 😉 Cheers L-zr

Very slowly… Cheers L-zr

Correct, more Oxygen atoms in water than the same volume of air... Iron actually oxidize more in water than in air... But it all depends how the O atoms are unlocked from the H2O molecule. Cheers L-zr

I stopped playing in 1975... When I started again in 2021 I didn't even know the ball was gonna be different,, :) I also got my 38' from TT11. They look discolored but mine are round enough. so enjoy... Cheers L-zr

I actually do play with old 38mm celluloids every once in a while. Its a lot of fun... Cheers L-zr

But I still can get a lot more spin from my H3 prov OS... I am using Friendship on BH though. Cheers L-zr

I can almost feel no difference between Nittaku premium and DHS DJ40+. Next time I buy I will try Double Fish. I think being used in an Olympics must mean something. My expectation is that they will be like Nittaku and DHS. My club is sponsored by Donic and is of course using Donic balls. The...

I used to have GAS too, now that was expensive... My favorite was (and still is) G&L, But lately I found out I play mostly on a Fender Tele FMT HH (The old one Korea built). The reason being, It sounds close to a Gibson SG and is super light... But I luckily was able to suppress my GAS :) Lets...

I think the current tackiness out of the box right now is perfect. The problem is that it decreases too quickly.. If it stayed twice as long it would perfect.... But since the pro's can change their rubbers weekly (or even daily) it is beneficial for them. I am hoping that DHS comes up with a...

Hell no, NOT CHEAP... Chinese is cheap, Tensor and (most) Japanese are expensive... Cheers L-zr
