Lodro, the Richard Pryor fan :giggle:

It depends on your style. Some players start with a completely flat bat then close the bat to a vertical position. This gives them the option of flicking or keeping the ball short. Master of this is Paul Drinkhall. If you ever get the chance to see him play live, get as close to the action as...

Nope. It's very similar to Timo style return. What he's basically demonstrating is to be very active in your returns as compared to simply neutalising the spin when putting back the ball.

The Fang Bo tutorials are really interesting. But the thing that he inadvertently displays is the difference in technique/stroke-smoothness, between extremely good players like his sidekicks and a top 10 player like himself.

Think of how you disguise a hook serve topspin. Remember that the incoming ball has lots of spin so you, the receiver, have lots to play with on your return. I think that's what Blahness is saying.

Great facilities.

Try the ordinary cling film. One sheet can last a couple weeks with removal/replacement. But refresh as often as you like. Cling film is cheap. Definitely use when storing long term eg. Your collector bats.

Unfortunately, It does happen. Especially the dehydration bit. Umpires concentrate so continuously that on many occasions they simply forget to take in the necessary amount of liquids. Or they forgot to bring a bottle to the table and try to man it out. As players in that situation, we have to...

Assuming that he's an experienced umpire, I suspect that he was either extremely tired, dehydrated, ill or a combination.

Many times a poster says that, with today's equipment, the ball travels just as fast as in 38mm days. I then refer them to this video of a young man with an all-wood all+ blade, with speed glued rubbers, playing against one of the best retriever around at the time.

"There are other factors more important... and it is good to discuss those technical technique things... but 99 percent of the forum would rather start another H3 boosting thread, drool over a top CNT player, or make a useless list of dream rubbers..." A little unfair methinks. Like most here...

Something different - main use for recording tt matches Sony FDR AX700 uses a 1inch sensor. Big advantage is the long battery life and ease of use.

Nothing wrong with the rubber. It's your bh so the crack is far from the hit zone. Of course you also won't be allowed to play with it in a tournament.

Aging is a killer

This, I think, supports your discussion about the modern stroke. And although not mentioned specifically, one can see the salute action.

"Hit the ball somewhere in front of your chest where the two arms meet. Usually, this will involve hip rotation and a lunge that will shift this point to the side of your body" In the late nineties/early noughties, several coaches were teaching the technique wherby the left hand was used to...

Your two examples exemplify the problems that ITTF have. The two examples are permanment light solutions for arenas having a fixed purpose. So plenty of time for the lighting people to design and adapt the lighting arrangements and design. For the Olympics, again huge money available and plenty...

Good learning point is to watch the player feeding Coach Yoo. It shows the different bat angles used when facing a good LP player.
