  1. Who has the world's best backhand?

    Perhaps the only time in his life Karakasevic has been described as elegant. Great BH thiugh.
  2. Who has the world's best backhand?

    I think this topic is actually really interesting and one that evolves over time and pretty quickly. It is worth revisiting from time to time. Right now the top Chinese shakehand players all have insane backhands when you look at all the different things they can do with it. I think they they...
  3. Righties versus Lefties in Table Tennis

    Yes. Sorry!:o I should have read the whole thread! Sorry again. But I did add how you could test the prediction of the hypothesis,
  4. Righties versus Lefties in Table Tennis

    The question is when does that advantage show up? Probably long before the lefties become world class. The interesting test would be to compare won-loss records of LH vs RH players in randomly selected matches between people in, say top 200 in the world, and compare that to outcomes between...
  5. USA Leagues New Idea

    Who is this USA Hobby Table Tennis Coalition? Is it a coalition of one?
  6. What blade is this?

    Ignito or Axelo but I would say Ignito. Very fast blades along the lines of Schlager carbon or even faster than that.
  7. Nittaku Resoud is 3000 euros!

    For some reason this reminds me of the lyrics of a Stones song. "My Maserati goes 185 I lost my license Now I don't drive"
  8. CNT Closed Training for WTTC 2017

    Some day we will learn that rainneverforever is actually Liu Guoliang.
  9. Lin Gaoyan's Style and the Poly Era

    I kind of agree with this. I think Xu Xin was always going to be limited and he has never accomplished as much as Wang Hao because what he does is so physically demanding and he will only get slower, not quicker (like RSM). Given the states of their backhands, it is absolutely amazing either...
  10. CNT Closed Training for WTTC 2017

    Thx for letting me know. I will delete some.
  11. For Sale: DHS national equipment (rubbers and blades)

    My question is that REALLY Liu Shiwen over there?
  12. CNT Closed Training for WTTC 2017

    The thing about those of us who work and teach at medical schools is that we actually know something about what the kidney ACTUALLY does and HOW IT DOES IT, so we actually know what to look for to see when it isn't doing it adequately. (Actually one thing you can sometimes see is swelling around...
  13. CNT Closed Training for WTTC 2017

    Every time I travel to China, especially to Sichuan province, I feel like I am eating too much all the time and I always come back lighter than when I left.
  14. CNT Closed Training for WTTC 2017

    I will have to tell that to my close colleagues at the medical school where I teach who diagnose and treat kidney diseases. Look at the clothes colors!
  15. PROTT.VIP and others

    5. Changes in racket coverings The ITTF authorisation applies to a racket covering as originally submitted and tested; its subsequent alteration, by a supplier, a player or anyone else, is not permitted
  16. PROTT.VIP and others

    Yes, but according to T4, that should not be allowed since they don't just test the topsheet, they test the entire rubber now, and the things they test for are specified in that bulletin. Once they have submitted something for testing and it is approved, they are not allowed to change it at all.
  17. PROTT.VIP and others

    Pleiades, it seems to me that this is a much more interesting point than it may initially seem. It is amazing to me that rubbers that are so different can have the same ITTF identifying number. The rules ITTF has for racket coverings and their approval are quite specific and are found here...
  18. New era with DHS D40+ 3 Star Balls

    I suspect a lot of people who have not been mostly playing with NP40 will react exactly like this.
  19. [Clone or fake?] Yinhe Provincial ALC blade

    Yes. My last comment was about the suggestion that a Pro Feeling might be like a Viscaria. I am having a hard time understanding how it could be. The dk4 is built more similar to Viscaria from what I could find. Will depend a lot on the core thickness and wing shape though. Still looks like...

    Ten million thumbs up to rainneverever for the awesome pictures!
