By the way, I certainly dont think I returned their serves well. A more advanced player would have just easily smashed my weak returns. But these lower level players cant do much. I essentially just returned their junk ball with my own junk ball and won. (this is the strategy many of you...

I made some progress on reading serve. I played a guy who I lost to 0-3 some weeks ago. If you recall, I felt I was just a completely better player than him, especially because he has funny/glitchy strokes, but last time I played I just lost about 70% of points on his serve. I couldnt return...

Exactly, this is why I find it very difficult to find a credible answer to why Euro/Jap players arent using H3. If even top females can bottom out the H3, then Ovtcharov, Boll, and other top males certainly can as well. If H3 is so much better for control, spin, placement, bottomed out power (as...

So all these girls are strong enough to bottom out the H3? I would really be interested to know why these girls chose H3 over D09c. I played with D09c the other day, and it almost felt like a perfect rubber to me, with spin and control from the tackiness, and speed from the spring sponge. Also...

I feel like any top Chinese pro would also be great with D09c. Would want to hear their commentary about why they havent switched already. What is the reason Timo and others have switched to D09c? They have finally appreciated the benefits of tackiness?

I think 60s and 70s Chinese were suffering revolution and mass starvation and war, so maybe they deserve a pass for not producing great talent in that generation. But in the modern era, and in the foreseeable future, nobody seems to be able to compete with China consistently in TT.

I think in this video I dont rotate my waist as much as I usually do or as much as necessary. But it was my first day using the backhand grip, so I was just trying to go slow.

Because its not a winning system. Chinese have won almost every gold medal the past 20 years. If bottomed out H3 is so much better, why dont the Europeans train from a younger age with it, bottom it out, get sponsored by DHS (surely DHS would happily oblige), and win more gold medals. Im sure...

So why dont more Euro/Jap players use H3? they surely are trained and can bottom out the H3?

When I look at the video, the forehand grip still looks a little odd to me. What do you guys think? I am purposely trying to hold it as the same grip I use on backhand, but maybe I am subconsciously moving the grip a little. But one good thing is that my elbow does look to be a lot more bent...

So today I switched my forehand grip to the same as backhand grip as many suggested. And I tried to snap my elbow more. At first, it felt really unnatural and it made my arm feel really tight and tired quickly. By the end of the session, I was starting to feel more accustomed to the grip. I...

Is the Hurricane National real? How much is he selling the Hurricane to you for?

But people have said Dignics 09c is not nearly as tacky as H3. I mean, why not put a fully tacky topsheet on the Tenergy/Dignics sponge to get the best of both worlds? Im pretty sure back in the day, the Chinese team would make their own custom rubbers such as Sriver topsheet on Bryce sponge or...

Are there any clones of Carbonado series? or clone of Stiga composite blades?

Ive heard that topping out idea before, but i never understood it. Im not physics expert, but i dont see how h3 could be faster than tenergy if the same guy with the same power hits it. I can see how tenergy has a Limit on speed because of the air drag on the ball, but i dont see how h3 can be...

Also, why dont more euro and japanese players use hurricane? And why dont any pros use chinese rubber other than dhs. Is 729 or sanwei or yinhe incomparable?

Sure they have enough power, but wouldnt 10% more power help them win even more points? Most loop-loop rallies dont end that easily.

Why dont the Chinese pros use Dignics 09c? It seems the best of both worlds with the tacky grip and springy sponge. Wouldnt a top Chinese pro hit faster loops with Dignics than with H3?

I find that when I am so close to the table, I need to close my racket head so the ball doesnt go long. But with the racket so closed, it often results in me swinging and missing the ball.

How does he hit the ball so hard (still with upward stroke), so near the table, without the ball going long.
