  1. Coaching adults vs coaching kids

    Kids are still developing basic motor skills. At an early age, our neural system is more flexible, more agile, and neural pathways are formed more easily. When training the young, you make room for the quick development they offer. Over 15-20 (it depends) that development slows. "You can't...
  2. Chinese Trials for World Championships 2017

    How easy it looks. FZD mercilessly killing XX FH attacks.
  3. How points are won

    I was wondering, analyzing a number of games played, where the heart of wins (and defeats) are. Ways to win points are there, and some patterns seem to emerge. - The winning service, the losing service - Conversely, the losing service return, and the winning service return - The big kill...

    Not too speedy, much feeling, a lot of control, not too stiff, relatively affordable: Joola Legend Donic Appelgren Allplay Stiga Allround Classic Andro CSV All+
  5. andro Rasanter

    Yes, listed on http://old.ittf.com/_front_page/ittf1.asp?category=rubber but not on http://www.andro.de/home-en/rubbers/ and I'm guessing the R42 replaces Rasant Grip. Wait and see, I guess.
  6. andro Rasanter

    Aargh! I hope it's just a rename, then. Pretty happy with Grip.
  7. andro Rasanter

    You don't think it's a hoax, or a fake? I find no other reference to "Rasanter" anywhere. Seems to be a mini-review, calling it well-balanced, high quality and easily adapted to (if I'm not mistaken).
  8. What handle type do you use?

    Best handle I ever had was that of my second frame, Stiga Kjell Johansson. Concave.

    That is an awesome blade! Wow. I mean, really, wow.
  10. Europe Top 16 - 2017

    The women did play too, but somehow that didn't get mentioned here in the wake of Shiba's ruffle. The WF ended somewhat in an anticlimax, with an injured Solja halfway and finally giving up later. http://www.laola1.tv/en-int/video/ws-final-li-jie-ned-solja-petrissa-ger-len Until then, an...
  11. Europe Top 16 - 2017

    And, did Dima and Shiba courteously shake hands afterwards?
  12. Simon Gauzy and Shibaev Bust Up at Europe Top 16

    Less than classy on both counts.
  13. Ma Long's free arm?

    Yes! Synchronous LR on BH, remarkably different from the rest. Tried that, but it imbalanced me. The FH has the opposing movement, and I do think that helps balance - and consequently power and agility.
  14. Logis - UMMC 1/4 ETTU CUP - Saive, Gacina, Shibaev, Lambiet...

    Seems the referee gave the point to Saive because he thought Gacina touched a ball that might have been on the table, and Saive corrected the referee?
  15. Favourite Table Tennis Player

    Hey, I mentioned Jörgen Persson... and I would have mentioned Jean-Mi and Jean-Philippe too, were it not to keep the list short, and of course, Korbel, Primorac, Appelgren, Lindh, Ulf "Tickan" Carlsson, Zsolt-Böhm, ...
  16. Stiga Mantra S

    One might indeed wonder how it plays unboosted. I do, in fact; and I'd like to see it compared to Genesis S, Rakza 7 Soft, Rasant Grip, Evolution EL-S, Tenergy 05-FX and 80-FX and such... No doubt it's not like Tenergy 05 ("not as bouncy as! throw not as high as! ..."), but hey, that doesn't...
  17. Advice on rubbers

    True. Then again, I went from T05 to Grip and especially this issue went from risky to solid. Still, no tensor is as reliable there as Sriver or Mark V used to be. The pros seem to manage just fine, though. Not many long pushes there, though. [emoji16]

    Mmmm. Had not noticed bumpy, then again I'm using relatively thin sponge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Quadri Aruna vs TableTennisDaily's Dan! 1 set showdown!

    Starting out a bit timidly, Dan got into the game by weaponising his backhand and sharpening up serving. Then Aruna had to start taking things a bit more seriously and it's game over! Well done, well done.

    Wow, that "Carbon-hit the master series" seems something special. Well I never... https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fdef.kondopoga.ru%2Fforum%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ft%3D1665
