  1. Vega Tour

    Review by 'NextLevel' on item 'Vega Tour'

    While the Vega Pro and Euro reside in the OFF-/OFF range, this blade is definitely OFF and has a lower trajectory on blocks and loops, though not by much. The honoring outer gives it and amount of feeling similar to the Pro and more speed. Just about everything I said about the Pro applies...

    I accept defeat. If you hadn't pressed the issue, I would have been defeated even before you spoke.

    Your specific issue with the original poster, I wholeheartedly agree with and expressing it this way leaves no ambiguity. Compare it to this (and you have many posts in this style): The difference is clear.

    Which particular folks? Then it is less likely to be considered trolling and more likely to be a specific issue with a specific person!

    I think you went very well beyond voicing comments. It is possible to voice comments and be very specific about who you are criticizing and to do it politely and respectfully. You can even do it pointedly and be rude. But in your case, you used a very broad brush to repeatedly tar people...
  7. Throw angle of rubbers

    Throw angle is something you just notice if you use different rubbers and loop with them with similar strokes. You find that some give higher arcs and some give lower arcs. It's unlikely to be a butterfly invention and in the Tenergy video, they talk about the exit angles on a variety of...
  8. Throw angle of rubbers

    As a general rule, we all like simplicity in things where we are not experts and tend to disdain it when we are.
  9. Throw angle of rubbers

    I guess you want the Chinese Secrets explanation to throw angles. That's already what the term throw angle does for people who don't want to think harder about why it isn't fully accurate, which is what the deeper stuff I linked to gives you. Same as the grip - you can start off with the...

    BTW, many people underestimate the importance of a circular motion that almost finishes behind/besides your body on both vs backspin and topspin on the backhand (someone in the comments is saying that he doesn't see any pro do the full stroke that William does, though I would argue he doesn't...

    This is the video. Some people do what he does and instead of playing over the ball, they wipe the ball with a fade sidespin. His is better, but both can be effective as long as you know what you are selecting. The most important thing is to have a good elbow position so you can have a good...

    You use your body very well, so it is not easy to isolate it. The backswing should feel like you are slowly throwing something behind you until the ball shows up and forward swing should feel as if you have ended that motion and recoiling from it. You have short arms so you might be doing...

    I am curious where you are with this. Looking at your usage of your arm, there is still a little room for improvement there but I am curious as to whether this perspective on looping has improved your approach to the ball. If you compare both this video and your previous 53 loops video to a...

    Definitely not the same.

    This article explains it best: https://thoughtsontabletennis.wordpress.com/2015/09/07/throw-angle/ Seems Susanne quoted it without referring to it :cool:

    ). I have tested them (like Baal, I test all the 3 stars and since I coach, I also test the ones that are not 3 star). The ball gives me hope. The sound is not great but it seems consistent. I haven't put it through matches though, just some practice hits.

    Yeah - the thread title should not be permitted and if necessary the thread closed.
  18. Rubber with highest Throw Angle

    It is usually loops and loop drives. Hurricane is good for someone with the footwork to get into position and loop drive consistently. In fact some people will tell you not to rank Europe and China rubbers along the same continuum as their strokes don't respond to the ball the same way. I...

    Usually, when I am up 10 - 4 or something like that, if I do a flashy point to end the match/game and miss, I can call a timeout to remind myself of what is important. I have learned my lesson from doing that and watching others to not assume that you have things so under control that there is...

    Youtube has 1.5X and 2.0x speed settings. USeful for getting through the fluff.
