  1. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Get the racket to the baxk of your thigh on the backswing as quickly as possible. It will force you to rotate and likely solve some of your problems, that is what I think @latej is trying to tell you.
  2. Victas Rubber Cutter

    I prefer my Anders Lind style cuts, thank you...
  3. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Just about nobody i know goes back the same path if they are advanced, it is hard to end up with the racket close to your hip if you do. It is usually a visual illusion or a warmup stroke. The main issue why I think pulling back close to the body is best for amateurs is that it is hard to not...
  4. Butterfly Zyre 03

    I have a different experience with Zyre but it I think is a nuanced one that might be tied to my technical limits. For me with Zyre, blocking perfectly flat and still is easier than with Dignics 05 and so is punching for me. I find that with Dignics 05, the block is more of a tiny counter...
  5. Interesting how things change - while everything stays the same

    Zyre plays faster than the other rubbers you mentioned and it also plays better on flat shots (blocks better) as well. For some players it spins better - I can definitely play better loop kills with Zyre than with Dignics. The issue is not Zyre but what happens when you are used to playing a...
  6. Interesting how things change - while everything stays the same

    In reality, what happens is that most people when they review equipment are thinking about it in terms of what they have used prior and often a subjective relative performance evaluation using both. An amateur can use Zyre just fine if he isn't having to shake off lots of muscle memory from...

    Is there a point you are trying to make citing Zhu Yuling's results from when we now know she had health issues and couldn't play WTTC 2019? And did you watch the Kuai Man -Nagasaki match and the harimoto vs Felix match which the first quote refers to which you now seem to be taking out of...

    The women are comfortably ranked, got what thry needed and are not in crisis. They do have some fixes to work on given what Han and Zhu did. The men are in a ratings/rankings crisis for sure and need more information on what to work on. Lin Shidong has put in a lot of training by his own...

    The statements while all likely true, have the limitation of turning one match result into a tight pecking order, when in reality, the match was so close I wouldn't have blinked if the result were reversed.
  10. Butterfly Zyre 03

    Its actually quite common. I find it more common than preferring it on the forehand because some people prefer sticky rubbers on the forehand and can't stand the fast ball release unless they were non-sticky there previously. He fit that group of people. If he had used D05 on forehand...

    Both of them made significant changes that paid off. JWJ made his backhand more than serviceable and this improved his forehand coverage as he could select more carefully when to go all out forehand and when to play 2 winged. LYJ slightly slowed down his blade and radically reduced its...
  12. Lin Yun Ju not using his own blade?

    He has outgrown it. That thing is too fast and stiff for really great players.

    Has greed sown the destruction of thr CNT? Since trying to create a tour has required the players to play more and this has affected the CNT and their usual internal training, i guess it is reasonable to ask this question. Fan probably saw the handwriting on the wall and just got out while he...

    For sure. Anyone who watched the level that Tomo and Lin achieved at this event in the quarters and semis knows that whoever won that march was going to win the event. Just saying. The Jang vs Lin match did not reach that level at all.

    He made changes that is for sure. Zyre is affecting professional TT for sure.

    I had the foresight to buy 2 before the gold rush. Kanak made a wrong move he should go back lol. In all seriousness, we know the LYJ SALC is coming out. And it will be recommended with Zyre on the forehand...

    By all means have your own opinions on the matter. But let's not confuse them with the performance of the player. And calling someone a nepo-baby is basically a distraction from the performance of the player. Agassi hated tennis for a long time and is now a Hall of Famer. Other players have...
  18. Nagasaki: "I've never liked table tennis that much to begin with..." (#1169)

    You need to watch Anders more. He tells himself and the coach everything you need to know.
