  1. Looping slow no spin balls

    Yeah - I think that sometimes, heavy spin is overrated as the ball gets larger. But it is still a weapon. It's all relative. I saw a guy repeatedly slow loop to Amy Wang's backhand with his - I was expecting her to kill it with her super backhand but she often blocked the ball off the table...
  2. Looping slow no spin balls

    BTW, looping "softly" is a very interesting and ambiguous term - I don't mean lazy looping when I say slow looping. Sometimes, a good slow loop can require just as much effort as a good fast loop and sometimes, slow loops are really medium/fast in some contexts. If you see Der Echte slow...
  3. Looping slow no spin balls

    Raise the spin level. Raise the spin level. You have good spin on your backhand but not your forehand if your game is as I remember it. No one consistently counterloops heavy topspin openers if you put max effort into the spin level. Placement of course is an issue as is variation and...
  4. Looping slow no spin balls

    "Upward" looping motions are fraught with danger. Come around the side of the ball forward and over it - you may combine that with some upward motion if you want some arc, but that can also be determined by contact point. You can only go upward on the back of a ball if you are sure the ball...
  5. Looping slow no spin balls

    What do you consider a high level? And when you think about it, don't you have to slow loop a no-spin ball against a chopper sometimes? Moreso because you can't be sure about the amount of spin on the ball?
  6. Asian Qualification Tournament for Rio Olympics 2016

    Not sure if this is completely true, but I know what you mean.
  7. NEW ITTF.com Website - August 2016! Suggestions!

    And deprive laola1tv of their money? To be fair, I think youtube is not accessible in certain countries. But those countries likely have equivalents.
  8. Europe Qualification Tournament for Rio Olympics 2016

    Maybe I forgot the part about me turning green when I am annoyed - you don't want to see me annoyed...
  9. Europe Qualification Tournament for Rio Olympics 2016

    IMO, Primorac is the original argument for banning grunting - Dima and Assar are just sideshows. Maybe my concentration is poor, but nothing annoys me more than someone being silent, then grunting loudly on a shot.
  10. In London for A Week

    Yeah. His game was hard to read at first but over time, my flat hitting was more consistent than his weird spins - I won maybe 90% of our games if not 100% - they got shorter as we played more. I keep trying to flat hit less, but I keep playing people that make me realize that I might have to...

    Yes, Fusion.
  12. In London for A Week

    If you can anticipate my twists and turns, you'll be rated 2500 in no time.;)
  13. In London for A Week

    Have fun, pgpg. Coincidentally uploaded this from my cellphone yesterday night. Not great quality but I hope it works. I have a couple of training videos working with a coach at one of the clubs.
  14. Europe Qualification Tournament for Rio Olympics 2016

    Given how volatile their team is when it comes to performing at big events, that really sucks.
  15. Europe Qualification Tournament for Rio Olympics 2016

    I think the claim that a country can only send two players is wrong as you can see that Sweden sent 3. It all depends on the country's approach. They still need one more player for the team event.
  16. Who's playstyle do you ADMIRE the most?

    Samsonov and Oh Sang Eun.
  17. is it time to upgrade?

    By the way, I am quite likely down grading again back to a 5 ply all wood (SPW). I thought my EJing days were over but at this point, I just need to play with something that doesn't break my shoulder but allows me to get great spin.
  18. is it time to upgrade?

    Maybe, may be not. He is a former Malaysian national champ if his bio is correct.
