    I know. Will let you know soon. I ordered some..
  3. Fish scales pattern Viscaria

    I have a few of both kinds. Its not worth paying more.
  4. Coaching adults vs coaching kids

    I think we can safely say that the promising and stylish young guy who is currently the 8th best player in France is not at the same level as the guy who is overwhelmingly the best player in the world right now and arguably ever. I think we can consider whatever that argument was supposed to be...
  5. Coaching adults vs coaching kids

    Seinfeld. (An American classic. If you are interested in American culture, there are a lot of episodes you need to watch). The bald guy's character was named "George Costanza", one of the funniest losers in the history of American television. Famous for the line "it's not a lie if you...
  6. two versions of the plastic balls Double Happiness 40+ ( photo Ding Ning)

    I have ordered some with the Ding Ning picture, but unfortunately they are one-star. Still, maybe I will be able to tell if the 3* D40+ versions are more like Nittaku Premium (since they seem to be made of the same material). They haven't arrived yet.
  7. fan zhendong returns to use infinity?!

    I finally came up with the Only True Answer to this ever-present question. The blade of FZD is like Schroedinger's cat. It is in a state of quantum indeterminacy somewhere between a Viscaria and an Infinity -- simultaneously both but neither. And it will remain that way until one of the TTD...
  8. Viscaria versus Andro Trieber Z

    I have no answer about the Andro blade. FWIW two more blades in that same general category are the Donic Ovtcharharov True Carbon and the Tibhar Drinkhall blade. The Donic is quite a bit cheaper.
  9. Jab/Shovel Service video

    Floking, For the first time messing with this motion, it was great.
  10. Jab/Shovel Service video

    It is the serve motion I use most of the time, so I could see what you were doing. But you are well on your way! Once you start messing with this serve, you eventually find what gets opponents to guess wrong. It won't take you long and it won't make your wrists sore like reverse pendulum...
  11. Throw angle of rubbers

    And play lots of ping pong.
  12. Coaching adults vs coaching kids

    Keinath stands up straight but he is crazy quick. I met him in Houston and can see also why he would be a really good coach. Another guy with some quirks was Schlager. He always looked a bit stiff. But he won a world championship with it. Go back a little further in time, you saw some...
  13. Coaching adults vs coaching kids

    Cell phones are a great tool now because if you can take a quick video of someone they can see what tney are doing or not doing. Worth a million words.
  14. Nexy Karis rubber first impressions

    Shady. Definitely shady.
  15. Nexy Karis rubber first impressions

    I have to admit, the logo made me hesitate to ever buy something from Nexy. Not that I am opposed to people who wish to "partake". The last time I did was about 35 years ago, though. I smoked enough for a lifetime before that. And no, I have never seen anything on a palm tree that looks like...
  16. Throw angle of rubbers

    By the way, on a previous thread, now locked, I reacted badly to something the poster Tenergy 05 wrote that I mistakenly attributed to Tropical. In fact, Tropical did not make make such a cruel statement. I just wanted to make that clear.
  17. table tennis tips "Increase Spin in table tennis by Chinese coaching"

    My laboratory studies autoimmune kidney diseases related to psoriatic arthritis. There is a subset of them that are associated with connective tissue and joint disease. Ironically, one of the best graduate students I ever had actually has a disease in this category, and didn't know it until he...

    Yes, the Table Tennis Engineer speaks again. He Knows All. Sees All. What a guy. :mad:
  19. FH rubber - control close to table + strong for from it

    Most rubbers that make your short game easier are going to sacrifice something at mid-distance and further back. It's always a bit of a trade-off.
