  1. Backhand smash tips

    If done like how hard-headed engineer does it, then of course. At this point, biomechanics in table tennis remains in the descriptive and comparative stages, where most studies only try to describe the racket head velocity, angle and angular velocity of various joints for, say, the loop stroke...
  2. Backhand smash tips

    Here is another one from the just concluded final between AJY and Gauzy at the WTT Feeder Havirov 2023. Closer in height to the one at World Cup 2014 but with Gauzy a little further back from the table. [url unfurl=false]https://youtu.be/i-bKhSaROkw?t=7714[/url] [url...
  3. Backhand smash tips

    Pivoting to smash with the FH is actually what the CNT players used to do more than a decade ago. Around that period, there was a coach by the handle 我爱国球 at sundns.org that was very vocal against this "FH first" mentality (one reason he didn't like ML) and coined it "京帮单面拉" (Beijing camp...
  4. Backhand smash tips

    Here is one from last month. Not as high a chop-block as the one at World Cup 2014 (roughly 2 nets vs 3 nets), but the same principle. [url unfurl=false]https://youtu.be/z8qgoUnDxH8?t=179[/url] BTW, in 2020, Mizutani made the following statement in an article of Table Tennis Kingdom...

  7. What is the difference of DHS Hurricane 8 VS Hurricane 8-80 rubber.

    H8 has the #25 sponge, at 39°/40°/41°, high-density/nonporous. H8-80 has the #80 sponge, at 37°/38°, porous. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/sponge-hardness-between-fh-and-bh-rubbers.24335/post-328260

    Figured it out. In China, the Shore C as specified by HG/T 2489-2007 is based on Asker C. However, the Shore C durometer from China, be it analog or digital, that is commonly seen on the internet is actually based on the older revision HG/T 2489-1993, which is identical to Shore E. I believe...
  9. China super league 2023

    It seems to be the case. SYS has been playing nonstop since WTT CT Zagreb 2023, WTT SCT Ljubljana 2023 and CTTSL, having played double the matches of WMY and CM. That makes Hirano's win in Zagreb even more impressive, seeing she had also been playing nonstop at that point, having just lost to...

  11. Ladies and Gentleman, Dreams do come true

    Hardheaded engineer happens to be half right and half ignorant this time, as in 2011. As with the COR for softer/harder thinner/thicker rubbers, I've seen conflicting results on this. Data collected by ivictor and posted by JimT. [url...
  12. Ladies and Gentleman, Dreams do come true

    Sadly no, you are comparing a solid metal ball with a hollow plastic ball (different brands have different hardness, too). What folks have to understand here is that there are multiple hardness standards out there, some of which are interchangeable/compatible. What some of us are attempting...

  14. Is the Donic Baracuda the same as it was in the beginning (2009/2010)?

    It was noted in 2014 that the sponge of Baracuda has also been changed. Whatever the case, the first wave of porous Tensor is worth trying, whether for celluloid or ABS balls. [url unfurl=false]https://www.hkttf.com/viewthread.php?tid=67878[/url]
  15. Is the Donic Baracuda the same as it was in the beginning (2009/2010)?

    As stated in that thread, both Baracuda and Acuda S1 have received an "update".
  16. Is the Donic Baracuda the same as it was in the beginning (2009/2010)?

    The answer is likely a no. Donic is known to change (perhaps update is the better word) the formula for its popular models. http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53054&PID=657718&title=has-acuda-s1-topsheet-changed#657718

    Butterfly has actually published experimental data in its own magazine Takurepo. I think DHS has supplied data similar to the COR on a small card for blades since early 2010, starting with the Hurricane King 655 and Hao 655.

    As Nextlevel stated, multiball is a must. It is the easiest (fastest and most efficient) yet the hardest (dullest and most strenuous) way to improve anything. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/return-of-international-tt-matches.23956/post-328638

    Me: I could narrow it down to Asker C or Shore E with a single image, and one from ESN. You: Nothing but speculation and conjecture. Who do you think people will find is closer to the truth and more informative? Refer to first image below to see why knowing the specific scale in addition to...
