I see, well it's important to grind the crap out of the movement for it to stick... And I am sure you didn't forget, the most important part is understanding how the chain of energy should go, where it exactly starts and who creates it. Thank you for the comment! 👍

Well, previously I was mostly just "shifting weight from one leg to another", basically simply rotating the body like most players do, which is quite wrong/incorrect, it's bit more complicated than that. I finally felt it just yesterday, so I wasn't able to test it yet + I am sure I won't be...

Indeed, I am exaggerating it bit more purposely so it would be more evident!

Hello, everybody! I am so pumped from yesterday, so I cannot hold it anymore and would like to share with everyone. I have been playing table tennis for almost 2 years in total, 1 year of Chinese penhold... I have been incredibly inspired by Chinese players. Watching countless Chinese videos...

Simply keep it, store it somewhere safe. Maybe you'll decide to come back and play with it again, perhaps you'll gift it to some friend who wishes to play, maybe even kids, if you'll have any...

Haha 😅, not at all. I actually had another thread open because I realized that I have made this under wrong category, tried deleting this but wasn't able to, do not know how... Now that it has been listed on correct thread, it got many responses and everyone helped me choose equipment, ending up...

Definitely reglueing the rubber when it's already cut. Aligning everything is pain, and even more painful if I end up not perfectly aligning it and it ends up being bit more to the side, resulting in edge of rubber sticking out on one side and not covering other side completely. I once ended up...

Some nice 90s underground HipHop Godfather Don - Status (1996)

Yes! The flat hitting, I noticed that too, just was hesitant to mention as I lack experience

Hello! I am quite new to the sport, no expert, however, first things I notice which poke my eye: 1) Your profile is incredibly high, lean forward a little bit, bend your knees, get on the balls of your feet. Your speed and consistency will increase 2) Cannot spot any weight transfer at all...

Almost every player wipes their topsheets between points. I personally use the DHS Hurricane 3 Neo and the environment gets humid here, so yes, you may say that "water condenses on the rubber", which reduces the tack significantly. Even though every rubber can get affected by a humid...

Could also be because of humidity forcing rubbers to "sweat"... So, they could be just drying the topsheet

I see! I appreciate the response, definitely gonna keep it in mind

Sounds good, thank you 👍🏼

Thank you once again, some great additional information! I've received my forehand sheet yesterday, I checked and the sponge seems to be pre-glued or whatnot (it's quite sticky), for the DHS Hurricane 3 Neo that is... Just need to remove the protective firm that's covering it. Would that still...

Thank you very much for your reply! Sounds good. I've watched this video a while ago, however, I thought the glueing process might differ for the Chinese rubbers, so I've decided to confirm, just in case... 🙂

Thank you, I appreciate your reply 🙂

I see! Thank you very much for the input. I guess I'll make sure to check the condition of the sponge after unboxing the rubber - to see if it isn't sticky already.

Hello, everyone! I am here with an update. I've decided to go with: Butterfly Petr Korbel DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (2.1mm on forehand H38 & 2.1mm on backhand H37) Revolution Nr.3 water-based glue After thorough consideration and bit of hesitation, I ended up going for Chinese rubbers and perhaps...

The shoulder pain most definitely comes from getting used to European rubbers, as everything is pretty much done with the arm. Chinese rubbers, due to tackiness, less speed, require more thorough technique using the bodyweight. You must put your body behind the shots using legs and back for...
