  1. Service receive: Soft x Hard rubber

    For me serve receive is not a passive stroke. I do positive stabby motion on FH and choppy motion on backhand :| I have no preference regarding hardness though :/ It have been easier for me if the rubber was tacky though.
  2. Learning Tomahawk Serve Like Dimitrij Ovtcharov

    Great video as always, is this serve legal though. Shoudn't the toss be almost vertical? (2.6.2. in ittf handbook).
  3. Reccomendation for TT Shoes.

    Question to asics owners, do your shoes "hurt" when cold? I've had this issue during late autumn if I left the shoes in the car, but now I sometimes play in unheated environment and this issue came back. Any ideas how to mitigate? Or is this just how the gel padding works and I should just use...
  4. How can a harder rubber be slower than a soft one?

    Other way of the explaining thing is to think of the sponge as compression spring. The softer the spring the less force you have to use to compress it, but also the lower energy it will release. The harder the spring, the more energy it can store, but the harder it is to compress it. If you...
  5. Hugo Calderano on Team Xiom

    Is it inner or outer fiber blade? I can't see that on the attached photo.
  6. What is the best way to learn serves for kids?

    Toss I think is one of the very important pieces of serve. It helps with generating spin. Learning hiting ball through serve should also help develop timing, no?
  7. Critique my technique and my match

    You can also check 10 minute toughness book. It might help you with being down in sitiations like the one you described.
  8. Critique my technique and my match

    Then stamina workout will be helpful. I do run 6km few times a week and skip the rope as mentioned before (I am still fat though). This is very very weak training but that's what I can afford timewise. I think people on this forum will recommend a much better solution to this problem. If however...
  9. Critique my technique and my match

    I may be blind but in the first game you seam to be lower on your legs, have more stability. I think later on you were more upright which decreases stability (at least for me). I have a tendency to get more upright when I am exhausted, maybe you have similar issue as me. Think about it when you...
  10. Chinese forhand rubber + semi-tacky backhand rubber

    I've been playing Big Dipper on BH and Jupiter 2 on FH for 6 months, so I might have some idea what I am talking about. Jupiter 2 is great FH rubber, but it needs boosting. Big Dipper is usable rubber on BH but it's a bit bouncy. I find 729 Bloom Spin (10$ on our favorite Chinese shop) much...
  11. Coronavirus impact on TT clubs

    Then sry I was lost in translation. In Polish it's called "zakażenie drogą kropelkową" which was translated to airborn by the dictionary.
  12. Coronavirus impact on TT clubs

    There are numerous sources reporting it to be airborne. Cnn, times all not so trustworthy sources. On the other hand New South Wales Government suggests `Infection control precautions should be applied throughout any admission; additional isolation precautions (contact and airborne) should be...
  13. Innerforce composition

    They may not have exact same composition. They are made from wood of same type in the respective layers. Wood thickness, cut, source and age are contributing too. Carbon may be different thickness and weave too. Also if that is old Long V it's just longer which may contribute to deflection.
  14. Coronavirus impact on TT clubs

    Wear a mask? Corona virus is airborn, it's spreads via tiny dropplets of water in the air. A mask will hinder your breathing capabilities, but will keep you relatively safe. Also keep you hands clean. Wash them often.

  16. Short Pimples on a carbon blade! Yinhe M202

    He has couple of blades. It's an EJ way of life, to try enjoying all the playstyles ;) (No pun intended MOG, I am an EJ too and I am not ashamed by it. I proudly carry my blade collection :D)
  17. German Open 2020

    JHA vs Koki, second game I believe, 7th point for jha, that kid is damn agile...
  18. opinion on my racket choice

    Donic Quattro A'conda, https://revspin.net/rubber/donic-quattro-aconda-medium.html, very soft and spinny. I got one of those from a friend when he was done with it. Sweet for spin oriented players. No power though.
