It's funny....a lot of us just need a chance to play some of the higher rated players to get a rating increase. Nisanth me and Brian play each other so much, it's hard to get a jump in ratings. but as soon as we play some opponents rated 200 points higher than us, we give them real trouble.

yeah...the open racket angle is way easier. thats my go-to for sure. but don't ask me, i can barely flick with my backhand buts its definitely getting better. actually had some pretty wicked ones last night at open play lol. I also use D09C.

I've had mine for over 2 years and it works great! lots of pre programmed drills so i get in a lot of good practice. Just wish i had a robot that alternated spins within the same drill.

If you want a good cheaper robot, i would look into the newgy 2055. has the return net which makes a big difference with robot training. the only problem with it, which is the same problem with the Joola Short is that you can only do one type of spin at a time....it can do all the types of spin...

What hardness are you using for H3? I have 39 degree OS commercial i am using on my forehand. But i have a couple variations of the BS prov i'm waiting to bust out. probably after this next tournament i will make the switch. i find it hard to take off a rubber that is still performing well for...

How rich is Fan really? enough to retire already? Might be hard since he's still so young. Unless he wanted to join corporate china or something? But who would want to do that when you can play TT for living. Nothing wrong with being second best and being rich and famous lol.

who says that? ping pong requires extreme agility and hand eye coordination. strength and conditioning....that is to be at a top level of course. However, it is a unique sport (kind of like golf) where talent and or technique can make up for a lacking in the pure athleticism...

Wouldn't the rubber be more comfortable to rest the thumb and index tho?

for penhold its pretty standard to have the rubber cut a little further away from the handle yeah?

Wow...beast really is good. i don't know much about him, but i'm assuming he's training quite often to perform at the level he does? Otto has the raw power and i know at one point he was a very distinguished player in his home country, but I do not think he's training at the level he used to...

I don't hate any table tennis players but Wang Chuqin's freakishly long finger nails make the hairs on my neck stand up lol.

maybe we could cause some trouble with @Der_Echte too. There's two "big" clubs in our area. Tuesday nights in citrus heights. Monday nights in sacramento. Besides that, there are tables always available in folsom to play at any time. Saturday would be good for us to play the longest...

you ever gonna make it up to the sacramento region? would love to have a hit with you.

I thought you were the one who created this thread as a joke lol. You stay boosting your uniforms.

i'm afraid it's a lost cause. I'll pay you for the shipping & handling and dispose of it for you bro. ....kidding!

Personally, i think it's perfect as is, but maybe find a nice sticker?

I'm guessing WCQ and FZD for singles. but i know nothing lol.

yeah 2000 is a pretty high level here in the USA. not upper echelon but you would be a top player in all the clubs around where i live (but still completely out classed by the 2400+ players in the bay area of california). I actually just watched a bit of that Lin Yun Ju video and maybe not...

its funny..my right hand is stronger in lifting weights too (I don't box or wrestle, lol). Maybe its from playing paddle sports with my right hand my whole life (the nadal effect?). Thankfully I never had any serious injuries from playing soccer so the time devoted to improving my right leg in...

that is awesome. which hand does your coach write with? I write left handed but ive always played racket sports with my right hand. i also shoot a basketball with my right. in soccer, my left foot is dominate though. I am completely mixed handed.
