  1. Xu Xin & Liu Guoliang Training Olympic Games Rio 2016

    Nah - he grabs stuff from youku or other established youtube channels and reposts them and links to them to make youtube revenue. Never credits the original source and sometimes overwrites other watermarks with his own. He may also change the title to get more views.
  2. Blade for Xiom Vega Pro

    That's a question for someone who has actually used the blade. But based on the reviews, it should be fine for someone out there. Whether it is good enough for you is up to you.
  3. Blade for Xiom Vega Pro

    Then your question is really whether the Drinkhall Allround is a good blade. Again, it is not about the blade matching the rubber, but what you want to do with the combination.
  4. Zhang Jike CONFIRMED and will play singles at Rio Olympics 2016!

    Maybe in your theory but in practice, Germany will only send Steger if he is playing the teams. They would probably reject him if he was the best player in the country because he has no chance of medaling. Germany has rejected better tennis players like Tommy Haas or even other athletes who...
  5. Zhang Jike CONFIRMED and will play singles at Rio Olympics 2016!

    Guys, this is more than just about China. People are so focused on this best player thing that they don't look at Olympics politics in each nation. Some countries will not send athletes if they have no chance of winning a medal or placing respectably. The ITTF had to do what it did to make...
  6. Zhang Jike CONFIRMED and will play singles at Rio Olympics 2016!

    It is official. This is how you know. http://www.ittf.com/World_Events/2016OG/2016_OG_qualified_players.pdf
  7. Zhang Jike CONFIRMED and will play singles at Rio Olympics 2016!

    There was an Olympic trial tournament. Kong Linghui was very disappointed with Liu Shiwen's performance against Doi Kem. It's the kind of loss that can have coach's scratching their heads. To compound LSW's issues, LXX won the trial. Had Ding Ning won, LSW would have had a chance, but with...
  8. What serve(s) would you rather not receive?

    Gene, given the time you want to invest playing, depending on your resources, I would strongly encourage you to join TTEdge given how physically far away you are from good coaching. In the end, serves are really about how you intend to play. The most important thing, other than to know what...
  9. Blade for Xiom Vega Pro

    Danny Seemiller does it though to be fair, he has anti as change up. It really always depends on your philosophy for playing as Danny has one of the heaviest topspin loops you will ever see and focuses on spin and placement over speed and power. I stress to people (and I am speaking as an EJ)...
  10. Blade for Xiom Vega Pro

    You can check my reviews page (link in my profile next to my info).
  11. Blade for Xiom Vega Pro

    Paul Drinkhall used that blade + MX-P in his video. Good popular rubber, good basic blade (I presume based on reviews). They will work for some player out there. Whether they work for you depends on what you are looking for and how you play. So what are you looking for? What kind of speed do...
  12. Blade for Xiom Vega Pro

    You heard wrong. Any good rubber can work with any good blade as long as you know what you are trying to do when putting them together.
  13. Same rubber on both sides for offensive players

    Since he uses tacky rubber the BH now, they are more similar now.
  14. Same rubber on both sides for offensive players

    Why? Sometimes, we confuse our feeling with our technique or consistency. Baal's point is that people can be wrong about this idea that FH and BH are different. Look at Ma Long, for example..
  15. Same rubber on both sides for offensive players

    Interesting. For me, video is always the best way to understand someone's specific statement. Sometimes, feeling is really technique.
  16. Same rubber on both sides for offensive players

    I doubt anyone does and since you are a penholder, it is probably worse. I actually try to make my backhand and forehand technique similar even as they are technically different. I would argue that it is more about the ability to transfer insights.
  17. Same rubber on both sides for offensive players

    Yes. Like I Said, if you do the same things on the same side, it tends to work out, or if you like to think of both sides similarly when approaching shots, then the same rubber on both sides is ideal. But if you have relatively different approaches or a desire for a different feeling on both...
  18. Tibhar Evolution EL-S and FX-S

    Can you compare these rubbers to my new old favorite, Andro Hexer?
  19. Same rubber on both sides for offensive players

    I doubt that most Euro pros have seriously tried asymmetric rubbers. Very often, people start out with similar things on both sides and play their careers that way without seriously considering something different. And just the bias of starting out with something as a child clearly plays an...
  20. Same rubber on both sides for offensive players

    Many of the people who start such threads are CNT fanboys or use Chinese rubber on FH with hard sponge so I am not sure your advice will work for them. For the rest, it is sound, IMO.
