If a $400 blade isn't good enough for everyone, what is? You just don't know what you are talking about, and that's the bottom line.

If I had to guess what is really going on here without watching video, we have a guy who wants to play like Kreanga without compromising the forehand. Doesn't work that way, buddy.

Below is my teddy bear imitation video. I tend to have a limited body rotation because of my knee issues, but here is a session with a friend where I was teaching sidespin looping - around the 8th minute or so, I try to show him that he is swing too hard/tensely and that he doesn't need to...

For 6 months, you do play well. The flip side of that is that you are young and athletic, but if you exert yourself in the wrong way, you will get better because of your athleticism, but the effort will burn you out during match play if you don't take a step back every once in a while to...

1. Your overall game is tense and needs to be far more relaxed. I get the impression that you are fighting with the ball by trying to exert strength in a tense manner on all your strokes rather than just doing the stroke and letting the ball do what it does. IT shows up largely in your...

This is my position as well. Anything that keeps TT participation up is good. Someone tried to design an exercise program around TT in England, I believe, in order to attract women. I think the 1000s of hours of multiball drills from 2500+ coaches model hinders the sport's accessibility in...

Here is Schlager giving us an idea of what it takes to play a chopper with your backhand.

I know what you mean, but you have gone back to overstating it. Strength has always been an advantage - many people don't realize this but Waldner was a very fit player during his very best performances. But it is just one kind of advantage - spin manipulation, control/placement, spin...

Now you are talking. Which is why like I said, people should stop acting like Liang Jingkun beating Jun Mizutani is no big deal. To get to that level is very hard, even among CNT players.

Improving a weakness usually needs a slower blade, not faster.

I don't.

I disagree a bit here, as all these players have very strong serve and receive, receive especially - after all, that is the list of the best serve returners in the world. It's all relative to each other that we can say their serve/receive is weak. But even that said, you have to get past the...

Yeah, given a chance 5 years ago. We should have give Ovtcharov a chance 5 years ago. Mizutani is one of the best players (serve, serve return and third ball) in the world, same as Koki Niwa. You have to have the level of play to deconstruct that part of the game before you even get into the...

Did you get married?:p

You play pretty well. Of course, I think you would do better with a slower blade than even a Viscaria but what do I know? :D

Common sense wins out. As much as many coaches are not familiar with equipment, he should at least be able to test and select.

Many people have said very good things about EL-P on mytabletennis.net so I have not heard the negative reports about its durability until today. But again, this is something that you decide as you see fit. If I trusted what people said about the durability of Donic Baracuda online, I would...

The two juniors in my club use it, one with T05 forehand and T05FX backhand and the other with T05/MX-S FH and T80FX BH. The first is 13 and currently playing at a 2200-2300 USATT level. The second is 17 and playing at a 2100 level. They both have strong loops and counterloops on both sides...

People show a lot of disrespect for Mizutani's game so I am not surprised. For all Mizutani's lack of power, he would be a CNT player if he was Chinese. Mizutani also beat Zhou Yu a year or two ago too.

It has a new name/model. If you want the old blade, I suggest you post for a request for a seller for a used one and use a Paypal process to protect yourself..
