Obviously, most informed players pick equipment to suit their style. Mastering your equipment requires you to adapt to its subtleties. The boost from equipment effects is usually limited and transient.

During the match, I thought it was standard stuff. After the match, my former coach thought it was a lucky shot. As my former coach, he doesn't see my footwork drills so I can't blame him. I was practicing this footwork a while back and posted some video on this thread. Carl made an...

Short pips both sides.

I will remember as will any serious TT fan. It is casual fans or just the larger public that do not remember. The comparison to Connors is a good try but is highly flawed for many reasons. Most importantly, Jimmy Connors is remembered for many things, and is considered one of the greatest...

Have you ever wanted to use Tenergy 05 because you didn't like your rubbers? Are you happy with the current state of serves and service rules in professional table tennis? What do you think of the practice of players marketing blades they never use? Who do you think is the most talented...

Footwork point of the match (Carl should know why, though the ball was faster than the ones I usually struggle with). youtu.be/CDIzuOr1wNs?t=1088

http://www.tabletennisdaily.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?10945-TT-video-YouTube-uploads&p=117412&viewfull=1#post117412 While that is the general idea, there are topspin motions that go around the ball, even when the contact is thick, and tospin motions that go into the ball, even when contact is...

Come on, you know I am going to give the equipment all the credit - that is what I do. Seriously, your grip is excellent. The relaxation is very obvious - I might have to share this video with my students.

Great stuff. I think it is becoming clearer and clearer that that the Ma Long, Zhang Jike and Xu Xin generation is special. It seems like there is a big gap after FZD (FB? YA? LJK? YZY? LGY?) so it might be an opportunity for other countries. That said, Germany will need Franziska to make...

I was seeded #2 in the Giant RR at my club and defended my seeding, though not without some interesting matches. I have been working on combining spin and power. I think my biggest lesson yesterday was that for an Euro rubber user, to use the ITTF terminology, "coating" the ball and "gumming"...

It's probably because you left that MX-P behind. People underestimate what Tenergy 05 can do for you if you let your technique do it.

The most important part of the forehand loop is specific to each individual and is always the part you are missing to make it better. If I had to give an answer, I would say racket head speed/whip mechanics. You can't loop without that. Other things are important like timing, ball tracking...

Both sides look technically much better. You need to be more consistent about coming over the ball with your backhand though even when it feels uncomfortable.

In the past, I used to get my power by brush looping with hard rubbers. So switching back to Euro rubbers has been interesting. I have concluded that I need to improve the power of my regular loops to get better. I look at a kid I play at my club who is 2300 and his power loops have heavy...

Smash flick of the day. youtu.be/PdyqEgX-Sls?t=2834 Some of you may enjoy watching the video as the style of my opponent is fairly interesting and for many people entertaining. He's actually beaten a 2500+ player before even though his rating mostly hovers around 2100.

Tournament at my home club in Philly. Have fun in NY.

You are about the same level as I am give or take a few points.

Yes. T05 responds very precisely to the path of the spin trajectory. What is your TTR?

The expression "feed me balls" is correct in English. I was going to comment on your technique but you already know it is non-standard. Some good club players use similar technique all over Europe and your racket head speed is excellent. I haven't used Roxon but if you don't feel that Tenergy...
