WH was "way" past his prime in the same year he came second in the WTTC and represented his area in the National games? Wang Hao was not even 30 until the end of 2013- the only thing we can say about Wang Hao is that he was also someone who used to train hard for big events - the amount of...

Not just super league but there were also national championships and national games matches. Some of those matches were pretty important too, but that is not my main point. I am not discounting the ITTF record but the record for the first 10 matches was Wang Hao 8, Ma Long 2, which makes the...

Someone else put the match record at 20-17 ML. So there are matches missing from the record. The other thing is when many of those matches took place. Counting matches that took place before 2009 is putting a baby up against a giant. Good for sadists but not really a measure of what is going...

Yes, you obviously played well, JeffM. What I find about people who tend to play differently under pressure from how they play in practice is mostly three things. 1. Practice 2. Spin 3. Movement/footwork. Practice is important as you have to get used to playing a certain way to commit to...

Let's keep it in perspective - ML still has a superior head to head over his career vs. WH.

I seriously doubt that.

Exactly. And sometimes, you have to push that third ball to beat blockers. Yes, it sounds crazy but it is true. The decision to attack is in part about ball selection - you have to select the right balls to attack and the right places to attack to. I just lost a match which I should have one...

Played the league but forgot my camera. Played some of my best TT too. Oh well.

Your question was a good chatting question. Phrased in a very broad and chatty way. If you had come just asking whether to use T05 or MX-P ( instead of realizing that Carl has already answered that question wisely), I would have given you the Judge Dredd sentence reserved for the top Goon...

Putting on Judge Dredd helmet... nah, going to play some TT and will post some video from tonight's league.

Why does chit chatting end up becoming EJing without any warning? We must get to the bottom of this or the notorious Goon Squad will soon use this thread for kicks.

What you talking bout, Willis? :mad: youtu.be/cC5KkXTgbbc?t=514 As I tell people all the time, I can't do better than Yogi Bear's review on mytt. http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75650&title=stiga-2016-blades-updated-with-review

I haven't used either so I seriously can't tell you. I am a limba lover though, but everyone is different.

My point was that you can play an offensive style with an all round blade even up to the 2400+ level. Obviously the rubber is important. The point still stands though. A friend of mine was told by his coach to get rid of the one-ply Hinoki he loved so much and to switch to a Grubba all blade...

Question for everyone - how many people felt that it was 100% clear, with no doubt in their minds whatsoever, that when ZJ won all those majors in 2011, 2012, and 2013, that ZJK was the BEST player in the world, no controversy whatsoever? Again question for everyone - how many people felt that...

So Ma Long has 1 gold and 3 bronze. Zhang Jike has 2 gold and 1 bronze. Waldner has 2 gold, 2 silver, and 2 bronze. Where is this huge gap you are talking about? 3 or 4 medals vs 6? Out of how many events played? And since we know that the main reason why the Chinese lose out is...

I get why people think ZJK is the best player of all time or why he is the best player of this era. Some people make the same arguments for Nadal or Djokovic in different ways. The thing is that there is no way you can make it by looking at the numbers. You have to make it by the eye test...

Come again?

It is harder but the trade off is that if you swing hard and fast, the spin on drives is more with harder sponge. Softer sponges have a lower drive spin threshold so you won't get more spin by swinging harder. With harder sponges, the harder you swing, the more spin you get up to a higher...

Shuki, Danny Seemiller uses an ALL blade with Tenergy 05 1.9mm. I think that speaks for itself. I would not be surprised if a coach told me my blades were too fast for me.
