I think that you are correct and he is merely demonstrating where the emphasis of the grip should be. That is, thumb and forefinger. I don't know how or why this relaxes the whole process of the stroke but I tried it today and it does work somewhat. It sorts of ties in with 'whip mechanics' as...

Sorry to hear, Yogi. Get well soon. we are all here rooting for you.

Your bike has a very steep seat to handlebar angle. You must have a very strong back and no belly to get in the way😊. Definitely a good combination for fast footwork around the table.

The nearest equivalent to EJ that I can of is used in photography, GAS."GAS stands for Gear Acquisition Syndrome and it describes a “condition” that some people have which causes them to want to purchase new camera gear, even when their current camera setup is perfectly good. It usually occurs...

Stop the video at about 24secs in. Then look at the faces of the spectators. Nice crowd reaction

Classic interview

Most players stamp heavily these days when they serve. We can see on the video how the vibration causes the camera to shake. The table must also vibrate even a small amount. I wonder. does it affect the bounce of the ball in any way?

That 20% sounds like the VAT. Formerly European store prices included the UK VAT. So it looks as if they are simply quoting the price less the VAT.

The legend that is Timo Boll has given his verdict on T19

Whew! I just read this whole thread in one go. Some interesting points, especially around how a Pro-player reacts to equipment vs an enthusiastic amateur. I am feeling the EJ itch from an overly fat TT wallet. The scratch will be to try something new for when we break out from the pandemic...

An organiser once told me that the perfect handicap is where the game score gets to 10-10. Based on the points score per game, even though match score was 3-0, the handicap could be deemed correct. However, I think that in handicap matches, the better player has to have a really good serve in...

06:04 Ggong-Yang, bringing back the whiff to whiff whaff.

1-ply with SP worked great for me. My setup at the time: American Hinoki WRC with Degu SP on the back. I used this bat for a couple of years. I had my best ever results during this time. I did not test the Degu with a harder/stiffer blade so I can't comment. I only returned to inverted because...

I don't think the video was a setup. As a viewer, I could see her gradual improvement until she actually felt that she got it. I took from it: elbow down or in line with wrist/ thumb Get the body close to the ball, that is, bat in front of body. Wrist straight, use elbow for leverage He didn't...

I read your post and immediately viewed at half the normal speed. Much better for reading the subtitles, although the coach then sounds very drunk. Good tutorial, Der_Echte.

Very, very captivating match. I think blue shirt was genuinely, very tired at some points,Perhaps the pre-match alcohol intake and that belly did not help😁. But I think the higher quality of his stroke play (even his many misses) was obvious. Or maybe I am biased towards spin players. However...

I assume that that setup is best suited to Choppers.

About the same time I also got my first 'sandwich' bat. It was a Barna of some kind. I never heard of Alser bats. But my richer friend played with a MarkV bat. Maybe it had something to do with the Alser contract and weren't all called Alser to make them cheaper.

Apparently, Persson had a car accident in 1994 from which he never quite recovered (neck injury). Thus he could not make sustained runs in tournaments. This makes his 2000 WTTC finals match performance against the Chinese a very remarkable one-off in his post 1994 period.
