Yes, but in addition to the control issues you have already mentioned, the fact that his toss is not high and his motion is short means that some people will follow your logic and assume his spin is not that high. That is the kind of deception I am talking about. And he is in a unique position...

Actually, it's the other way round. The low toss serve allows him to deceptively generate spin that people do not expect. The issue is that he is often borderline on legality. Boll has exceptionally fast hand action so it is not something that would work for everyone. But it also makes toss...

My game isn't precise enough to care about these things. As long as the topsheet is fresh and the rubber adheres to the blade, I just loop the heck out of the ball. Vega PRo and other 2nd gen tensors are going at a great price these days. Loving Tibhar Genius now...

You should get power from your core. What is not obvious in that video is that I have bad knees so I do not get as much from legs as I would like but I get enough from my core/hips to do my own stroke. That video is also 2 and a half years old. The arm should be relaxed but the people who...

Here is my stroke self hitting. I think I used to use and probably still use too much arm and forearm and not enough bod on the forehand topspin. But I post it mostly to give whocares an idea of my sidespin and my contact point. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4aPh10ClZfU&feature=youtu.be&t=274...

The whole CNT does grip switches and I believe Dima does too. Not sure if Dima uses a flare but the whole CNT does.

HDK's win over LSW doesn't count?

All these 7 set games have backed up the schedule - we need a 4-0. Come on, Hurricane Hirano! Clear it up!

Sometimes, we act like technique and winning is what the sport is about. Her style is also easier on her body and height than the style that Samara plays. Who knows if she would still be playing today if she was a looper?

She got to where she was in life with all those things. That you only notice them when she loses and not when she wins and loses in a close match 3-4 is puzzling. Cheng is a better player, nothing wrong with losing to a better player. And Pota destroys many players with that style. It's a...

Is Sabine Winter injured? Her scores make no sense.

Whocarez, many good players would call your stroke a topspin stroke without losing sleep over it. You could learn to come over the top of the ball more and that just means making your paddle more parallel to the ground at the end of the backswing. Facing downwards is hook, facing upwards is...

I agree with the last sentence. The rest that i disagree with I am sure comes down to language. I think looping with topspin when you don't contact the back of the ball but rather the side creates some sidespin and is the dominant stroke in table tennis. I think this is where the discussion...

That's going to be tough one - Monteiro had a good chance to send it to a 5th match by beating Mizutani but lost a good lead to go down 11-13....

Your backhand is really good and can support a faster blade on offensive shots. Your forehand and short game, not so much. To use faster equipment, you have to trust your spin acceleration even on touch shots. When you do then faster equipment is usable. OTherwise, just stick to slower...

It's just a combination of things based on years of observing internet personalities. Just ignore me and continue with all the things you have noticed.

You lost to PRW??? Really????

The basic forehand loop has some sidespin, usually a hook for most players. What people call straight topspin is usually just less sidespin. Some people go out of their way to play fades as these look straighter unless you blade your body orientation more. In any case this is a problem that...

Wow.. Ma Long changed teams... He probably won't play anyways... Why so many line up changes? Did GAS interfere?
