I used to pop salt tabs before playing soccer. thanks for the friendly reminder to start adding this to my TT routine. I thankfully do not really suffer cramps but the salt tabs do help with the hydration and feeling good a lot.

those backhands are insane.....

I'm definitely not taking away from Cho D at all. I haven't seen the match.....but it just seems like Hugo is getting "upset" in nearly every tournament.

Hugo has to be the most disappointing TT player in the past year or so. just goes to show how close these top players in TT really are..which makes the chinese dominance all the more impressive.

oh man.. my cousins who grew up in alameda had a strict rule- unless you can actually see the physical bay, you're not in the bay area. I'm not as strict, but i m 100% not in the bay area even though i am easily within driving distance. The Sacramento valley is its own unique culture and...

woah woah woah...i'm in the valley baby!! haha. about 90 minutes north of SF.

pics??

#6.....this is the way. H3N is a counterlooping beast. As long as you swing was through the ball, you take any incoming topspin and return it with interest.

I saw the TSOS retiring one of his old rubbers last tuesday. most have been 2 years old if i had to guess.

I came from using tenergy 05/19 for nearly two years. I am now using the latest version of the h3n. it's about the same level of tack as the dignics 09c, at least by appearance. this hurricane rubber works very well for me. I am able to loop all sorts shots that come in with varying amounts of...

he keeps his fingernails freakishly long. makes it hard for me to root for him lol.

What kind of scissors you using bro?

eliminating that excess wrist motion (thanks to you) improved my backhand tenfold in literally 30 minutes. still a lot of work to do though....like focusing on the impact zone and timing. hopefully i can get a bh loop going sometime this year.

I'm jealous! You can do all kinds of spin variations with that robot. i'm stuck to one type of spin per drill, so i focus a lot on footwork drills..and drills that let me practice my Forehand to backhand transitions.

What kind of robot do you have? I have a newgy 2055. I spend a lot of time doing drill #9, 10 and 28. pg 22 and 24 https://shop.sport-schreiner-tischtennis.de/media/pdf/7f/2c/77/donic-robopong_1055_2055_engl_owners_manual.pdf

played a match with the DHS ball last night. really enjoyed it. felt slightly harder and more round than our normal club nittaku balls. I didn't look closely enough to see if it was the DJ40 though. Are those the top of the line DHS balls?

True true. Plus we live in california so it makes it doubly hard to afford a good quality of life. i am in management now too and thankfully its flexible, but almost all of my flexibility in my day job has been given to my side hustles to pay the mortgage...and for the PING PONG PARADISE!!!

You are a generous man for helping Daniel. I have also been on the receiving end of that generosity, thankfully! Per your question with Albert- I'm beating him in 80% of the rallys now. His only advantage is his serve these days, but so long as i take a step back, stay low, i am getting a...

well screw me for having a day job LOL. Soon the Ping Pong Paradise will be in action....you're E bike will get some drain some battery coming over to train with me! Daniel is solid. Needs to learn better serve variation though. I beat him 3-0 a couple times because he served short every time...

That is crazy that the university doesn't at least give you a parking pass for coaching their team. or a food court stipend? lol. Meanwhile the president is banking half a mil a year easily. yikes. BTW- how long is the college table tennis season? i'd love to go out and give those boys a run...
