Your BH topspin issues are what they are (they are really about elbow positioning relative to the ball and taking it too far in front of you), but if DerEchte is generating backspin on your no spin with a push (as opposed to a heavy chop into the ball), then your no-spin serve is heavier than...

Your spin looks fine to me, but I guess the person who blocked you knows best. Chinese rubbers can reduce your ball quality though, people think they help give better spin but it is so far from the truth, the players I block their balls into the net the most are those that use Chinese rubbers...

There is really no need to defend DerEchte. You've seen Takkyu play and know his TT history so you know the perspective from which he makes these comments, just as you know the perspective from which you make yours.

Hirano win 11-6 in the 6th. Ishikawa now has homework!

Hirano up 3-1, 8-2 or something like that and ends up losing 9-11 in that game. Will Ishikawa come back?

Mizutani was down 0-2 to Hirano but seems to be coming back...

Many defenders don't consider Filus a defender - he is an attacker who sometimes chops on backhand and uses pips in their view. And Joo has a level limitation - his teammates usually beat him easily.

I enjoy hearing from people their impression of other people's games. Waiting for DerEchte to describe ttmonster's game and vice versa.

DerEcthe laying a smackdown on the California posse (with whom he will soon be assimilated.) Can you please describe the event, ttmonster? What was it like to face a Rambo loop third ball? And DE, how did it feel to face those bad loops (Archos said it not me) that were monstrous in nature?

It's not true????:p This is the only relevant thing you have said. But the human mind feels the need to persuade instead of look at facts...

What I don't get is why everyone is debating technique with someone who literally dreams at night of coaching Olah...

What makes me scratch my head about the ITTF short forms is that the 3-1, 7-3 point that TTD highlighted did not even make the short form of the video. This is not uncommon BTW.

The correct answer (IMO) is that there are multiple ways to expose a weakness and you should keep that in mind when selecting how to play against an opponent with an issue. At the lower levels, it is simply a matter of putting the ball and expecting a weak shot. At the higher levels, you have...

If I had to guess from all the backhands I have had to fix with similar issues, you wanted more spin. I tell people that it is a big mistake to think spin with the backhand from the first movement. Think contact first and then over time, you will learn to add spin with subtle adjustments in...

My POV exactly. This is the second strongest national championship in the world. The only guy who is really head and shoulders above everyone else is Mizutani.

Hahaha... when HTSB starts serving, ttmonster will have all that eagerness confused out of him...

Thanks. The effect is present in all sponged play and while it is not as pronounced in short pips as it is in inverted, the fact that you are using sponged pips means that your stroke relies upon it more than you might realize. It's more complicated than my explanation obviously as both the...

So when NL says it, he is just making noise. But when Mark says it and Michael Landers does it, it is the best thing since sliced bread! Now I get it...:rolleyes:

Suds79, Your spin and speed analysis is not quite complete. The key thing is how much the ball is wrapped by the pips and that depends on a number of things, especially the stroke speed and the sponge hardness. While it is easier to get more spin from softer sponge, it is easier to hit...
