I was sick, so could not play in the last two weeks. Tomorrow shadow training starts again! Then why I am here? Because I've seen a few matches from the hungarian open live! Probably they have been discussed, so I want to share details which are hard to spot watching streams. First: everyone was...

Weekly report: last week we lost our "revenge match". One of us injured his shoulder in the first singles match and our strongest player was sick and played with fever. We put up a good fight in the beginning, but after we lost in just the second singles round, the motivation was gone. I am not...

Butterfly, no question. But their prices are incredibly high. I only played with Tibhar rubbers so I don't know about their blades and balls, but they have good quality control. The other brand that comes to mind is Gewo. I played the Hype KR and I was satisfied with it. Also I bough some of...

Thank you for the responses! Roday I had my first shadow session. I targeted these areas: 1. FH loop weight transfer. I have an exaggerated weight transfer movement. I can go full RSM, but lose balance or I straighten up after the loop and loosing mobility. I tend to straighten my right leg...

We had 8 players participate in our Top 12 championship. Everyone else preferred a calm weekend.

Lol, average. He isn't BH oriented and actually most of his opponent try to play to his FH because it's weaker. Even Timo had problems with his BH opening loops. But I would never say he has the best BH in the world. Nevertheless, it's pretty damn strong. During practice...

Hello everyone! I am back to the forum after a long break. Since the autumn of 2018 I barely practiced, only played league matches, due to university and work. I found a video of me playing, so I decided to share with you. I still don't have time to practice more than once a week, but I decided...

Hello there! The local TT shop doesn't have the Revo glue and I need glue pretty soon. The alternatives are Tibhar Clue or Xiom Energy. Which do you recommend? Based on the description the Xiom one works similarly to the Revo Nr.3, while the Tibhar is different, but still got a few good reviews...

Well, someone mentioned Benedek Olah. I don't see the point of this arguement, but he can rip the ball pretty well too... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC3z3fV-kmI (Also, hi everyone, I haven't been there lately (due to univ.). I hope I can be more active from now on!

Xu Xin has monstrous FH, with such quality, that only the very top players can deal with it. He has the most powerful FH. Ryu Seung Min, ZJK and Wang Liqin doesn't play internationally, so they are out. Ma Long and FZD are the second bests. Harimoto and Timo Boll and good contenders with their...

Hi everyone! Merry Christmas! I am back on the forum after a long break! I had to take back from table tennis training for a while, but now I am working and finally have money for coaching. Also fixed training with a promising youngster. I am very happy about this as I couldn't find a...

I guess it's just T2 with more top player...

I see your point. They play similar, but the differences are there. HT is more active and tries to finish the point earlier. He does much more fast attacks off the bounce on the BH side and uses this more effectively. LYJ likes to step around and attacks continously with his FH more. Also, his...

Well, I don't think that's a good idea (you did it already, so...). If you overboost the H3 it might get mushy and have a very low arc. Hard sponge doesn't mean that it don't have more spring. I only boosted H3 Neo and normal Skyline 2. Skyline 2 was a brick, the H3 Neo had some spring. I think...

Go to an addictology specialist .DD

It supposed to be an answer to the post, where someone wrote that Lin Yun Ju plays like Harimoto....just my tablet browser didn't quoted the original post.

No different from LYJ? In what world?

Well, kids first here use off- blades and average speed rubbers. I believe that's the good way. Fast and spinny rubbers like an MX-P are bad for development. It's easy to generate high speed and spin, but beginners can't control it correctly. First you want stability. Stability comes from doing...

Actually, I believe doing similar trickshots or excersizes, you develop your fine motor skills, so your touch improves. To get a good feeling before matches, I like to open up backspin balls. First, slow and heavy spin loops, just over the net. Then more powerful loops. Many people think they...

Yeah, something like that. The key is that you don't have to try hard imparting heavy spin on your own. If you return a heavy backspin ball this way your ball will be a light backspin ball. But it will be safe. Of course during training you have to try to push through, but usually it's enough in...
