Good point, I guess I'd already ruled it out because 1. I've tried it a few times and didn't particularly like it, I definitely preferred the viscaria to it and 2. Because I want something a bit more different. When I changed to the acoustic it took some time to adjust but I also learned so much...

Hey guys, so about a year and a half ago I posted this thread https://www.tabletennisdaily.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?11608-Looking-for-a-new-faster-blade and I'd like to thank everyone who posted in it, especially Carl who not only gave me some great info but also for inspiring me to do more...

I would love for a translation of this video.. ;)

He seems like a really cool guy and it's pretty cool all CNT members seem to be quite different in terms of personality, yet they're still so good at the sport. It's nice to appreciate the different nuances of all of the players, I think it's more fun that way than if all of them were exactly...

I'm so sorry Carl, I can't imagine how you're feeling. I hope you can stay strong during this tough time. You're a great contributor to TTD and no doubt a great husband and father. All the best to you and your child.

I used to do this serve by punching into it using pretty much no wrist and it has been effective for me.. but then I met Craig Bryant a few weeks ago and asked him to do 10 minutes of serving with me and he had a look at my serve. The way he does it and the way the japanese guy is doing it is by...

It's probably not "good". But.. and I'm gonna copy paste a comment I saw on fb by Eli Baraty as a response to another about the chop costing him the point etc. "Yes.. but I think we often forget why we play sport! We all start playing a particular sport because we enjoy or love it, Stephane...

Ah, apologies I didn't mean to lecture you. Instead I got a very neat lecture haha. I wasn't aware that more exposure to the cold gave you better ability to produce heat. Good stuff and eloquent enough ;).

Bit off-topic but you don't catch a cold from being cold, you catch them from a cold virus and you can't kill viruses with pills. Agreed on the shoes though, prefer not too much cushioning unless you have knee problems I was told, then you might want to consider a bit of cushioning :).

http://www.worldchampionshipofpingpong.net/news/yan-new-world-champion/ According to this article he said he's never had any professional table tennis training so I can't imagine it to be too high. He also said that he's only been playing ping pong for 6 months, pretty impressive that he did so...

Played my first grand prix and first tournament other than BUCS which is playing against other universities. Only entered the banded competition and since I had no ranking points I played in band 5 and 6. Started off poorly by losing my first game in the group stages and was 0-2 and 9-10 down...

It seems that you as an adult were able to adapt your technique despite issues in mobility. You fixed/adapted it, hence you got to the.. NextLevel ;). I think there are many factors which need to be considered, a lot of it depends on the adult learners mindset too. Overthinking things is...

It hit the net clamp which counts as the net, then hits the table so he has to put the ball away in order to get the point. He wouldn't get the point if he failed to put it away.

Went to the ping-pong world championships over the weekend and just got back home, thought I'd share a few pictures. Amazing experience and lucky that we got free tickets as the head of our club the woman on the left in the 7th picture (my team mate on the right) raises money for cancer...

The atmosphere is amazing, Flemming has a lot of support. Watch out for me on stream, head of my club is in a pink pink-pong shirt and a cap and just above to her right are some others from her club and me ;).

I will be there with some others from my club, really looking forward to it! :D

I agree. I actually find it interesting that people care so much about things they ultimately have no control over instead of just focusing on themselves and what they can do to get better. So if you don't think they're credible (which you have all right to do) then simply ignore it and move on...

That's a shame, understandable though! Travel and hotel costs plus entry was almost too steep for me as well but being my first GP I couldn't resist the temptation.

Looking forward to seeing it :) and you'll have to let me know if you're going to Bath GP, it's all booked for me and I will be there on the Sunday too. Not sure if the others from my uni are wanting to go look around the city on the Sunday though.
