    First time gluing and cutting my own rubber today, and the guinea pig was a H3 neo province. No accidents, I still have 10 fingers. Then had a hit with my robot, ok not 1 hit, maybe few hundred to a thousand.
  2. 3 star 40+

    3 out of 5 rating for 3 star 40+ I've been playing with some plastic balls, and mostly with 3*** DHS 40+, but sometimes with 3*** Stiga 40+. My first DHS 40+ ball broke within 1 session of playing. It might have hit the edge of the blade, but then I have hit the edge of my blade many times with...

    Given how close the trial is and I don't want to play more than usual, I will try again on Saturday and hold off the idea of switching rubber. I think Pricey's theory is probably the most likely, as the rubber did play fine for the majority of the session (2 hours), and then it became so...

    Review by 'JeffM' on item '3 star 40+'

    I've been playing with some plastic balls, and mostly with 3*** DHS 40+, but sometimes with 3*** Stiga 40+. My first DHS 40+ ball broke within 1 session of playing. It might have hit the edge of the blade, but then I have hit the edge of my blade many times with other balls, and they don't break...

    I went to a different club today to practice. First lost to someone 3:1, but then beat the same person 3:1 in our second match. Then I went to train with my friend who is better than me. I practiced backhand looping backspin, 3rd ball attacks, and then just random serve and receive drills. At...

    That helps Monster :) I'll try to get into the play for fun attitude. NL, this is an interesting topic :) Usually I don't like to bring in the top of the world players because their levels are so high that it doesn't make too much sense to compare, but, from my view, Mizutani does not beat...

    Thanks Monster, I'll try the left hand up strategy. I was using the robot to not lose the touch of TT, not really to fix any problems immediately. And since the last time I was having trouble finding the touch of forehand loop with the short balls from the robot, I found more confidence in it...

    Hey Monster, thanks for the advice! I think I agree with all of them. I practiced serving today as well as usual forehands and backhands at home. And when I did the serving, I started to have a pre-serve routine. I can't comment on how well it is working for me yet as I have not tried it against...

    Just in comparison to practice. In the match, I didn't loop balls over with my backhand much, keep missing the high balls, and bad positioning. I just didn't feel like Im playing like myself. But with the posts above, I know it is something that I will just have to work on, especially with the...

    Ok thanks, Der_Echte and Monster : ) I am going to another club to play tmr night and then play again on saturday night, and that should be it in terms of playing against real people. And I will try my best to get into the relaxed mode on next Thursday to play my best. Here is the video in...

    Thanks for all the love guys :o. Will keep persevering until the trial and hopefully pass it.

    So I played at my club again, and today is 12 days away from my trial.. During random hitting, my strokes were all fine, backhand loop was going quite well too, even for lifting backspin, but then as soon as I start a match, even if it was with the same guy that I just practiced for an hour...

    Thanks Archosaurus, I was inclined to blame it on the kind of balls the robot is feeding me, but I just thought if there is more to it. I will focus more with the legs more next time, but I wonder if the balls were too short which causes me to feel more awkward with the hips involved. Thanks...

    Here is my practice session from yesterday. I feel my backhand is in control, but not too happy with forehand. Just doesn't feel right, something is wrong with it. Oh yeah, after some modification of the collection net, it is awesome for practice now.

  18. Ask ITTF President Thomas Weikert a question on the TTD podcast!

    Do you think it is possible to increase the number of camera recordings from the current 2 to say, 4? Do you think it is possible to hire more commentators to make matches more interesting, rather than solely relying on Adam Babarow for the more advanced rounds? (even though Adam is very good...

    These few days have just been unreal for me. First ping skills membership, then my friend brought me 10 boxes of 3 stars DHS balls with discount, then my collection net came 5 days earlier than the estimated delivery day, and now tonight, I am going to a new club! Here is the my set up now...
