OK, I am going to assume you are actually for real, although as with Archosaurus, I tend to doubt it. Insanity is when you do the same thing over and over again and expect a different outcome. He is serving topspin that you can't see or have never seen before. That kind of spin makes the...

Well you are stuck now. Here is the thing. You probably have no chance at all to keep your money. But here is some technical advice. When you see the ball flying off the table from his serve, notice the direction it goes. See if it is always in the same place. If that is the case then...

It's 3:00 in the morning in the UK and 5:00 in the morning in Helsinki. Shouldn't you guys be sleeping? This is devotion to table tennis, for sure. Misguided of course, but still notable.

The odds are she d umped you because you are an idiot who can't see when he is getting scammed. In any case, if you are really worried about your lunch money, you are probably too young to have a girlfriend. People here are trying to explain to you what is actually going on, but you seem...

Each injury is different and it depend on how bad yours is. A couple months is very realistic. But you need to make some changes or it I'll come back. Liighter setup? Faster setup? Change grip and handle shape? Some things you can try.

Yes. The rubbers should not be reused.

Wear gloves. Do it outdoors. Use 30% bleach in water. Use a sponge. Kills the mold in a few seconds. Then wipe the blade with another sponge with water. Wipe it dry with a towel. Repeat 3-4 times to make sure all the bleach is gone. Don't do this wearing any clothes you care about.

I thought it was NL was saying. It's just that some people call the light serve "no-spin" and but it can't really be no-spin, just more spin and less spin (or as bobpuls said more accurately, side-under or side). But the serves need to look as much possible identical to each other. Ma Lin did...

Bleach is better.

One coat is all you need. I also used it on my handles with good results. Do try to find a room that is not too humid while you use it, though.

If nearly all pro players are boosting their rubber (and the factories too) isn't it time to just eliminate that rule? Just enforce the thickness rule after boosting.

Can we get ITTF to apply more pressure to improve the very poor quality of plastic balls with seams made in China? They are far worse than Nittaku or Butterfly balls, or seamless balls. I don't mind plastic balls. I hate bad plastic balls. Can we get a moratorium on major rule and equipment...

One high level coach told me to keep your normal loop stroke and just open up the racket angle a bit (against very heavy underspin). Another said to keep your stroke moving forward (not more vertical) and just aim higher. If your stroke gets too vertical you lose all your power and throw...

The blade sealer sold by Revolution is super easy to use. It doesn't change the way a blade plays. I highly recommend it. It dries in about 3 to 5 minutes.

One guy who had the most ridiulously well-disguised "no spin" seve was Ma Lin. Somewhere there is a video of him playing Adrian Crissan who was around 30 in the world at the time. Crissan popped up almost every one of them. Something Eric Owens always reminded me though is its not supposed to...

To Archo re slow serves, Last Sunday a US team member netted two of these when I served them to him.

Let me add a closely related trick. On very low and short serves make sure the ball moves very slowly through the air. Low and slow. I have noticed that this reduces the margin of error the returner has to judge spin correctly. So relatively small spin variations have larger effects on the...

The current guy is ok but was closely associated with Sharara. Time for a clean break. Saive would be that

That would be good.

A little bit of bleach will kill the mold permanently and won't hurt the wood. You might want to check your house or apartment near wherever you store the blade to make sure you don't have mold there. You do not want to be breathing mold spores. Very bad for your health.
