As folks here know, I am under a professional coach and there are some variation of what is being taught to me with respect with what NDH's post above. As usual, there are no right or wrong answer, just different approach maybe. 1. NDH said, " Whilst the trend of closer to the table, fast...

I watched Kara's video above and I wish to share some personal observation: 1. Video of ML vs Kara: It appears that it is much easier to distinguish the Euro vs Chinese style during those years ( 2019 ) as oppose to these days. These days, CNT & Euro players are both playing a very athletic...

don't know. Never played with Stiga DNA Platinum before. Donic that is comparable to Tenergy? Hmmmm ..... I suppose it should be Bluefire M1? M1 is loopy, high archy, bouncy, grippy, all the attribute that could have been Donic's attempt at Tenergy clone.

No thanks. I am not into Platinum Blondie. Tenergy ( Japanese ) is my ex coz too high maintanence but now I only have eyes for German aka my Miss Donic.

I have a serious question. Might be controversial, but please bear with me and help me satisfy my innate curiosity, Is it a good idea to look at these old footage of players from yesteryears other than for nostalgic / entertainment reason? During those yesteryears, the ball used were smaller...

Yesterday being a Sunday, my regular club is closed. Hence I went to my old club that I had not been to for many a moons. Met an old club mate who was playing. This old club mate of mine is an elderly woman in the mid-sixties, a diminutive figure. Typical Asian auntie ( 師 奶 / See Lai /...

never tried that before. I am an ESN purist. What is your feedback on this?

G1 and be happy. It is a middle of the road, all-purpose all can do rubber. From there you can then decide what attribute you prefer and then branch out on your own. The three main branch are: 1. Trampoline effect / speed monster - look at ESN 2. Super grippy / spinny - look at Japanese rubber...

Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive choose the seven ply version and not the five ply one. alternatively can check out the list below: https://pingsunday.com/top-10-table-tennis-blades-excellent-quality/ Tibhar Stratus Powerwood is a five ply OFF- blade. Your natural progression will be a seven ply...

Some regulars here have been advocating me to go back to a slower set-up. So, I took out my old bat and try playing with it. It is the Darker Speed 90 with Acuda S1 & Bluefire M1 on each side. No can't do. It is just not the same. Even my club-mate commented, this DS90 does not offer the same...

I want speed, faster and faster and faster... then I found Donic Bluestorm Z1. I am now a happy lil'camper...

BB should be censured for cultural appropriation. He is imitating Asians' stereotype of being good at maths, according to Ronny Chieng, the Asian Cultural Expert 😉 and also according to Jimmy O Yang p/s Back off BB, being good in maths is an Asian thing. Stop this cultural appropriation.

This happened during my coaching session yesterday. Prior to that I watched some video of footwork Legend: Ryu Seungmin and thereafter some YT footwork tutorial. I was pumped, I was imagining myself to be Ryu Seungmin. At the session while waiting for my session to start, I did copied footwork...

So I recently switched to Donic Bluestorm Z1 from Tibhar's MXP. Now I am in love with this Z1. It is blazingly fast so fast, you can't handle the speed. You want speed? Do you really want speed? You can't handle the speed. It is blazingly fast, when I FH drive, I can see the ball shoot past my...

We all know we sucks, however, our ego think otherwise...

The time to change is NOW! Caveat: I am a ESN fanboy. 😜

Come on guys ( USDC & Jim ), Let's put this aside to quell any doubt. I am sure the OP can beat me 1,000:1, so let's just agree on that and put that aside and move on. With regards to the video, it was awesome. OP asked regarding BH and I, coincidentally have this clip with me from my previous...

Adam does what he does for content. He runs a successful YT channel and that generate ka-ching. If what James propose can generate ka-ching, I am sure the business side of Adam will not deny it. Win or lose for Adam is secondary or even tertiary if I may add. Adam is the greatest TT show-man...

I had a wonderful CHO-LEH session yesterday evening. Although I did not win any of the higher level players in any match but I am nonetheless very happy to be able to get a set or two off them. What was different yesterday? 1. Having better than usual footwork opens up more option, attack...
