  1. Can somebody translate this Chinese blade description?

    ...和 (and) 需要 (need) 球板 (racket) 本身 (itself) 来 (to) 弥补 (compensate) 自身 (self) 不足的 (inadequate) 控制力 (control power)。 ...and the need for the racket itself to compensate for the user's inadequate power of control. Cue hardheaded engineer...
  2. Can somebody translate this Chinese blade description?

    Yeah, 底板, literally "bottom board", is one of a select few terms that does not translate well. In a sense, sole plate, a woodworking term, is a rather fitting translation. In much the same way, it took me a while to get the meaning of blade (why so aggressive lol) when I first started visiting...
  3. Can somebody translate this Chinese blade description?

    Google Translate has done a fantastic job here. 底板/sole plate = blade 特殊次立材/special sub-stands = there is a typo which should be 特殊次力材/special secondary strength ply, likely referring to the composite layer
  4. I used an AI code to translate any chinese subbed video

    Yes, limiting to/identifying specific keywords is one way to deal with it. Drifting is actually the word-for-word and more accurate translation from a physics standpoint (see quotes), but wobbling happens to be the more common term in this context, which is commonly used to describe the...
  5. I used an AI code to translate any chinese subbed video

    Fang Bo's videos are particularly difficult to work with here. A majority of the problems that have nothing to do with AI arise from typos (speech-to-text?) and missing punctuation (standard practice but usually replaced by a space) in the sub. On top of that, some of them come from OCR errors...
  6. FH sideswipe / fade

    Been waiting for this comment. In the article "横拍进攻型打法研究" (On the Shakehand Attacking Style) published in 1995 (published again in 1999 under a slightly different title "横拍进攻型打法之我见"), Cai Zhenhua states that European players, with Waldner as the representative, were the first to pivot on the BH...
  7. Is Liu Guoliang “fairly” one of the greatest players of all time?

    To be frank, characterizing arguably the spinniest shortpips in history like that is comical. I wouldn't say unpredictable even for Spectol with its sinking effect. That would be like saying H3 is extremely spinny yet unpredictable because of its quirky trajectory and kick and therefore too...
  8. Is Liu Guoliang “fairly” one of the greatest players of all time?

    The H2H between LGL and Waldner should be 6-3. LGL won the first 6 and Waldner won the last 3. All of those matches took place before the first aspect ratio reduction, which didn't take effect until 2000/10/1. Reproducing the following post from 2011 here for future reference since the...
  9. Is Liu Guoliang “fairly” one of the greatest players of all time?

    I used the original Spinpips. Extremely spinny? Yes. Unpredictable? No. It was essentially an inverted rubber in disguise. While not as spinny as tacky rubbers of the time, I could get a higher spin-to-speed ratio out of it than I did with Mark V and Sriver. That's its biggest strength...
  10. Alternative to Stiga Clipper and Intensity

    Is that the perception in Greece? Stiga, as a table tennis manufacturer, has been on a downward slope for several years now.

  12. Need Help Choosing a New Forehand Rubber (pls)

    Like any other high-end ESN grippy rubbers since 2012? According to Rallys, the V52.5 is a rubber with "strong arc and high COR" that is good for hard hitters. As for weight, even though Ebenholz NCT VII, along with Rosewood NCT VII, are stiff and heavy, I personally find them light when...

    What's wrong with Vega China?
  14. BB's thread about higher frequency blades being faster.

    I'm itching to write more on the modes of vibration. https://ooakforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=156206#p156206
  15. Need Help Choosing a New Forehand Rubber (pls)

    Xiom Jekyll & Hyde V52.5 (MAX) then Tibhar Evolution MX-P50 (2.1-2.2mm) Don't let your investment go to waste.
  16. Nasty rubber setup, another great ERT video

    The limitations of her style, rather. Notice the limited types of shots. Ryukyu Asteeda pre-match practice? [url unfurl=false]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc4R4YkG9Fw[/url] [url unfurl=false]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaQfazwMXac[/url] ATTC 2021 Trial practice [url...
  17. Nasty rubber setup, another great ERT video

    I guess the OP has the answer now. She cheats on her then-husband, she kidnaps her own son, and worst of all, she plays nasty rubber.
  18. Nasty rubber setup, another great ERT video

    Yeah, that's so unfair. ;) Cheung Ka Long, only the 4th non-European men's individual foil Olympic Champion, is left-handed. He just won 2 gold in individual foil and team foil at the World University Games 2021 in Chengdu. A week prior to that, he won bronze in team foil at the World Fencing...
