Don't be so sure man. The new NL is hitting video game levels of spin and speed on some shots. That and Der Echte's tactical brain might just be enough to silence Kowabunga.

Well, it's all immigration policy. They paid their dues. They can't play WTTTC or WTTC or WC. But they can play the Olympics.

Here is another one.

If ajtatosmano2 wasn't such a good guy, I would have revoked his TTDaily membership for writing that.

The swings below are all you need if you want to topspin.

IT's easier to just see a video and say whether your loop looks good or not. As Tinykin pointed out, you can play at a decent level with technically inefficient strokes if the stroke output and consistency is decent enough. There are many approaches out there but I am familiar enough with what...

It's an incorrect approach. I use to think like you. The bottom line is that spin comes from hitting the ball off center. What is ideal is to read the incoming ball and set the angle early and only use the closing over as a last second modification if necessary. Making the closing process...

Freitas gave it to Ma Long. As did Boll. People look too hard at the third ball forehand but forget that you only get that chance with the serves. That's why WLQ was not a third ball master.

Post video if you want proper feedback. Otherwise, just practice the correct stroke until it works. It is not too late a change a bad habit. You just have to stop focusing on putting the ball on the table and just do the stroke until the stroke puts the ball on the table.

That's like saying that because you have the second best short push in the world, your short push is weak. Ask Xu Xin and Ovtcharov about Ma Long's short pushes. Or ask Oshima about Ma Long's pushing game in general. There was even a match where Ma Long blocked down Xu Xin so much that it was...

I referred you to a video. Maybe you could watch it and see if he changed sides and then ask the question.

As we all know, they are CNT robots designed by Dr Liu to take over the world.

Andro Hexer, Donic Baracuda, Tibhar Genius or Yasaka Rakza 7. Start with those on forehand. On backhand, you probably should stick with what you have or try one of my recommendarins in 1.7mm sponge. You can also try many kinds of short pips.

ZJK can't really lob/fish, Xu Xin isn't comfortable with his backhand, and Fan Zhendong is not a master of serves and short pushes (generally inexperienced). But Ma Long? Even chop blocking is up his alley. Ma Long is a true Frankenstein monster. A guy posted a dimensions analysis chart...

Tacky rubber holds on to the ball longer than non-tacky rubber so it slows the ball down on flat hits, and a little less so on loop drives. If you see top CNT smashing with their Chinese rubber side, they don't smash so much as they topspin smash. If anyone wants a modern example, they can...

I know that stroke in that video anywhere. Here is my first time trying out Hexer seriously. First 5-10 mins of this video.

As an EJ who has also trained hard, I would like to apologize to all those rubbers I commented on when I was 1400 and didn't know how to loop per se. Those comments may be read by someone right now who thinks I actually knew what I was talking about but didn't know the rating level I was...

I think Ma Long is already a Frankenstein monster. Easily the best server in the world for me and impeccable footwork and forehand. Maybe we can replace the backhand counter hit or topspin with Zhang Jike but that is about it. Or we can replace his power level with Fan Zhendong but...

Tibor Klampar and speed glue. That is the answer I would give in a nutshell.
