  1. CNT Closed Training for WTTC 2017

    The man cannot retire, he loves his job too much...
  2. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Sometimes, I watch some of my old videos and I like to think the equipment made me play better (Hexer and MX-s, where are you?). Then I use the equipment and realize that even videos deceive me and mess with my memory lololol...
  3. Just another blade thread

    Innerforce with slight modifications unless you know what the redesign does for you or Tiago is your favorite player why spend the extra money?
  4. Just another blade thread

    The Freitas ALC is the new Maze, so to speak. You can try the innerforces as well. Blade choice is not rocket science, it's more like dating and marrying - some get lucky with love at first sight, some hop around and then commit, while others continue to date until they die, or some marry for...
  5. Who has the world's best backhand?

    Any answer other than Fan Zhendong at the current moment is purely a joke (Jike) right? There might be a few Liang Jingkuns and Karakasevic's and Jeoung Youngsiks out there, but there is only one FZD. What I find really impressive is the overall global improvement in the level of backhand...
  6. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Yeah - I kinda fixed that (Upup is close enough). Might tell Mr Lehman who gets the Spinlord short pips to get me a sheet of Dormenglanz. The guy who gave me the tutorial is a chop blocker and we used to play a lot until I got over 1800. So because of how he used to block lots of spinny loops...

    Yeah. Not so much on the dark side (yet), but since I coach people who play the dark side and I am trying to help people adapt to various spins, this is an important surface to master at least up to an 1800-2000 level so that students don't get frustrated or give up once they face a good long...
  8. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I guess the software has improved - threads like these were often closed by moderators and restarted as fresh threads in the forums I used to belong to in the 2000s.
  9. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    It is not as farfetched as you describe. Large threads like this usually push the databases supporting sites like these to their limits.
  10. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Went to my club today even though it still has no floor covering. One of the supervisors was giving the club owner grief because the new space lacks an accessible restroom. Well, now you know why I don't play as much... In any case, i had put together a new paddle with my old flame, Big...
  11. NOW LIVE: Champions League FINAL 2017!

    Complete destruction after the first match. Karlsson fought, but he was never really convincing.
  12. Forum Game - Who is in the picture?

    Likely correct, the image looks reversed.
  13. New era with DHS D40+ 3 Star Balls

    He left mytt to bring this crap here?
  14. German Association Reject Ovtcharov & Mizutani's doubles bid! WTTC 2017!

    That is evidence, we rarely see those players in Doubles at all. Even last WTTC, did Dima play doubles? Mizutani was a good doubles player but again, is he going to be the one to push out good players like Yoshimura who probably deserves to play singles? And like I said, Samsonov is almost a...
  15. German Association Reject Ovtcharov & Mizutani's doubles bid! WTTC 2017!

    Odd and makes no sense, since he would be limiting China's doubles partners opportunities. I think he was just trying to make a comparison to Boll though without offending Boll. IMO, the only realistic pairing is Samsonov (Mizutani would have limited Japan's teams), and Samsonov is not a beast...
  16. German Association Reject Ovtcharov & Mizutani's doubles bid! WTTC 2017!

    It seems Germany is allowed 3 entries. I think the issue is Dima's doubles ability and the idea of having all three pairings be with foreigners.
  17. German Association Reject Ovtcharov & Mizutani's doubles bid! WTTC 2017!

    Every country is allowed two pairings (not sure about hosts), and Dima and JM would not allow Germany one more player. It probably makes more sense for Germany to field another home duo. Medal chances also factor in and Dima is not necessarily the best doubles player in the world.
  18. CNT Closed Training for WTTC 2017

    Practice!
  19. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    A walk on the darkside. Comments on my technique are welcome.
  20. CNT Closed Training for WTTC 2017

    I don't think he understands the nature of the problem. He probably thinks every country has China and Japan's allocation to TT.
