Lol I wonder if the double racket style that I invented will catch on xD

Maybe they stumble onto it by accident while experimenting, but I believe Ti Long's method is the most reliable and accessible in terms of teaching the concept. Now of course this is just the contact feeling. To impart real power and spin in the loop is another matter of course.

It's not just "racket angle" or "contact point" which is a completely different concept. You already compared it to counterlooping which means you understand it completely. I think in English the closest terminology I can think of is to "roll" the ball.

To be fair its a direct translation of the corresponding terminology in Chinese. Unfortunately the English language is far less descriptive than Chinese especially in terms of table tennis. From what I see so far even the Japanese have much richer table tennis vocabulary too.

Yes this is another reason why it should be learnt as soon as possible.

Thanks David you understood my points perfectly. I'm talking about not necessarily excessive opening of the racket angle but the importance of developing the spin neutralising contact which is used up to the highest levels of looping (especially loopkilling heavy backspin like what you said)...

Yes I do have a free hand too in the context of service because the right hand is the one doing the serving. I can do perfectly open palm with my left hand while half holding the penhold blade - it's not that hard to do. Edit: It is significantly harder to power the ball toss normally now, I...

I thought about it and the primary goal should be disruption imo because the major threat is my inverted loops. I've already got a free Dawei 388D-1 Ox sheet from a friend. Now I will put Victas Spectol S1 on the other side to complete my lefty penhold setup, so that there is max differences...

Yes I've always seen the black alien too!

I'm never "changing any rackets" during a match though, the 2 I'm using will be used from the beginning to the end.

Gozo, there's another choice which would lead to many easy victories ✌️: Join the dark side and buy some LPs to put on the BH lol Stop paying the inverted tax :(

Will need to practice my lefty penhold skills a bit first. Lol... it's never that easy using your offhand. Tbh the advantages that this gives is almost game breaking haha.

I think it'll be the first on YouTube or Douyin even. Haha....

Yes, it just means I have 2 racket arms. Nothing wrong with it. Also it's cool af playing style. Honestly umpires at competitions are a joke anyway there's no enforcement of service rules and everyone is using illegally treated rubbers - boosters for inverted players and illegal pips treatment...

pretty sure there's no rule restricting it.

Yes LPs are disgusting af which is why I wanted to do this in the first place.... gotta fight fire with fire to wipe those smug evil grins off the pipsters face.

Yep that'll be my first rubber. Do you think MP or SP is better for hitting on the other side? I want some differences between the LP and the surface on the other side on the left hand too.

I think you didn't understand my post lol... I'm adding a left hand penhold game to my existing right hand double inverted game, ie I'm gonna play with 2 paddles, one in each hand all at the same time. I would LOVE it if they gave me any kind of weak balls because I will absolutely crush those...

K3 is good but has trash durability. If we add the longevity issue then K3 may be even more expensive than D05

Update: I figured out how to twiddle with my left hand penhold, and how to throw the ball with an open palm while still holding the penhold blade in my left hand - so all my nasty serves are still available. I also shadowed a lot of LP strokes with my left hand and did not find it very...
