    It's easier to think this way in Finland than in the US... just be warned.

    It is true in an important sense. After all, everyone has gaps in what they can read and adjust to, even Ma Long. And the sooner you accept your responsibility to read and adjust your stroke to the incoming ball, the further you will get and the faster you will get there. That is why playing...

    Great one-two serving combination from Wang (Eugene) Zhen. youtu.be/_dGKgfoHfaw?t=504 BTW, on the topic of weaker players beating stronger players or players playing better against better players and worse against even weaker players - I suspect the real reason why Boogar played supposedly...

    Spot on, and this supposedly weak player won it all. I have played many matches as a blocker where players would complain about losing to a player like myself who supposedly had no strokes. It's one thing to say that when judging a player's technique but another thing to say that when judging...

    I find that whenever I rewatch a match that I thought I played badly, this is never true. The real issue is either that I was tired or that I had issues reading the player. Still need to see you use excess power.

    Thanks - figured it out. I had them the wrong way round. Have taken the MX-P off the Hannibal and it is the one I am currently leaning towards though it is quite possible that I haven't given the Kanaph a real chance.

    My backspin serve is now heavy enough that on the club floor, I can double bounce it short and if it comes off the table after that, it still has enough spin to come back to where I am standing. I did it three times in a row. Now I know I am getting to the point where it is no longer an...

    Boogar, What does playing terrible mean to you?

    So it's against the rules because someone just had a silly idea at the ITTF. Shame on them!

    Choing in a tight match is part of life - no apologies for that. I actually declined to play my next opponent initially after the match. Then I came to my senses and played my matches.

    I behaved embarrassingly after this match - I almost wanted to go home and not play again that night... Very immature...

    I don't have a precise number - the guy who gave it to me claims it is light, but the setup feels heavy to be honest. I would be surprised if it wasn't 88g but I could be wrong. It could definitely be 82g as Karis M+ is no featherweight.

    I think this is spot on and pretty much what I would have said. I have similar issues when my very large index finger wraps around some blades. IT might also be in part grip pressure and some people just change their grip if the sanding doesn't make it better. Some people also carve things...

    BTW guys, I beat Big M for the first time in over a year with the IF ALC. Those Nexy blades have work to do.

    Limba is softer, anigre is harder. It might sound crazy but in some ways, the IF ALC has better feeling than the YE.

    You know it is against the rules with a white ball, right?
  17. Changes in Table Tennis

    I don't find them boring when people do things I have not seen before. That's why we need a separate event scored differently.
  18. Changes in Table Tennis

    All of the above is why I believe there should be an exhibition or synchronized TT event at the WTTC and maybe the Olympics.
  19. Possible DONIC Timo Boll ALC, Timo Boll Spirit, Viscaria, Zhang Jike ALC alternatives

    Kicking me in the only place where it doesn't make my body worse isn't much of a threat, is it? Seriously, was looking for ALC and Hinoki in an OFF-/OFF blade. Carbon is okay but I usually like it with arylate as the vibrations can cause pain over time. If they can beat Innerforce ALC, they...

    My first coach was a chopper and unfortunately, he never discouraged me from pushing serves and never worked hard enough with me on reading them. One side effect is that I push too many serves, but the other is that my real push even if it pops up is heavy, and unless you have good technique...
