  1. Suggestions for Viscaria replacement

    I thought the frequency of vibration was a measure of the stiffness - I know the blades might feel different but why would a blade with a higher frequency of vibration be stiffer than one with a lower frequency?
  2. November World Rankings 2017

    They will fix it to find a better balance like the ATP. They can't skew towards participation so much that it makes ranking meaningless. ELO systems on the other hand can be maintained by anyone. Ratings central is still there for everyone else.

    Thanks. What did you get for your True carbons and Viscarias?

    Going to do a review for the True Carbon soon. The blade giveaway this Christmas will be epic.

    Hey, you know I am an EJ... I remember when a few months back, I watched some videos of me playing with Big Dipper - I got so nostalgic and I gave it a go - and I just realized that the effort was too much for me in my current physical state, so I let it go and I gave away the other sheets I had...
  6. What handle type do you use

    I used straight handles almost exclusively until late 2014 when I switched to flare for a period to work on my forehand. Then I went back to straight and had an on-and-off with flare. Later some of my finger work on the blade changed and I figured out the benefit of flare - it allowed me to...

    1. I am not sure she was but edge calls are missed all the time - LSW had one on the first game that I thought was missed. 2. Then go back to H3 and see what happens. Sometimes, you need to learn from experience. I hear this all the time from people who are coached or hang around someone who...
  8. Suggestions for Viscaria replacement

    Not faster than a Viscaria according to Butterfly spec charts and in my experience.
  9. T2 Asia Pacific Table Tennis League 2017!

    Who did Jeoung Youngsik replace? Wow, I have to watch T2APAC again!
  10. Slower, soft rubber a good idea for a beginner?

    You seem confused in more ways than one unless you miswrote that. A flexy, slower wood blade will have more vibrations than a stiff, faster carbon blade. So what you have is exactly what you should have expected to have. Feeling is subjective and changes with time and experience. An example...

    I was typing in a rush from my cell phone and I was trying to make it as short as possible - LOL.

    Interesting. What frequency do you get when you measure ?
  13. November World Rankings 2017

    It is clear that they are rewarding tour participation over performance. It seems a bit too much right now. Hopefully they will adjust the formula better over time.
  14. Suggestions for Viscaria replacement

    I think my blade wins, though I am not sure about Stiga part or the handle part. But lower throw and larger sweet spot for sure.
  15. Xu xin switched to inner ALC

    His new coach is his old coach, nothing to write home about.
  16. Can Timo Boll's victory give rest of world belief?

    Okay - I still don't get it. But Samsonov is definitely lacking by this standard, yes?
  17. Can Timo Boll's victory give rest of world belief?

    The loss was hardly a big deal as if he didn't qualify that day, he would get another chance the next day (which he got and did). Same as CCY's victory in the group stage of the World Cup in 2012 - of course ML almost got eliminated on tie breaks, but the win didn't cost him much in the bigger...
  18. Too much sidespin on forehand topspins

    Exactly. Focus on rocking on the balls of your feet to protect your knees. Knee pain and damage amongst untrained amateurs hitting the ball hard is an undisclosed epidemic.

    So this weekend, me being the EJ I am, I got my backup True Carbon and Tibhar Genius rubbers on Friday night so I could not train with them. I did get my favorite Donic VarioClean glue which I have not used for a while. So I build the paddle on Friday night. I had a tournament on Saturday...
