H3 is great for learning if you have a coach or you can somehow learn correct technique. But without good form, it might develop bad habits, such as too much upward brushing, or stiff arm, or letting the ball too low, or contacting the ball at it's back. I agree that Tenergy isn't good for...

(I didn't read the longer comments) There is a few match of him on the youtube, even against Eugene Wang (Wang Zhen). He uses sponge for sure. ---------------------------------- So, my tips: It seems that the easiest solution is pin him to the BH with slow loops then when he blocks to your FH...

No need for fancy rubbers. I learned to play with Friendship 729 Super FX and Skyline 2, you might want something softer and easier to play. Same rubber for both sides is recommended. Any blade from Carl's list will do the work. Personally I didn't play with Vega Intro, but the whole Vega series...

Hard question. Partially because I just learnt to do reserve pendulum serves with heavy side-backspin, somewhere in between Lin Gaoyuan's and Michael Maze's style. I could do it earlier, just it wasn't too reliable, as sometimes I couldn't get below the ball and became sidespin/ side-topspin...

Moregardh is playing in champions league or played last year. Kallberg Anton too. Xue Fei and Wang Chuqin are playing in world tours where china sends players. Yuto Kizukuri is strong in the men's singles events, but he is genial as a doubles player, Uda Yukiya is not bad either. Sidorenko is...

I think it was a short sidespin push. FZD's serve had topspin to the right direction. You can see that the ball jumps when it bounces on Dima's side. A side-backspin ball would slow down, a pure sidespin ball wouldn't jump either. If you catch the ball at the right point (just like Dima did) it...

Brand loyalty issues? Man, you were playing with H3 and Clipper, now you will change to MX-P! No offense, just sounds strange. Go to a TT store or to a distributor, try out the Butterfly ALC family members (Kenta/Timo/Viscaria/ZJK) and choose which has the most comfortable handle for you. These...

Badminton players spin the shuttle a lot to control it. You're right that spin has no effect on the racket, but it changes the arc. Without spinning it's hard hit to hit short balls.

I like commentary. I don't pay attention to it, but it's good when you hear someone's voice. The T2 and Junior Champs commentator is terrible, he irritates me, but I'm fine with Bobrow. Someone might want 'more insight', but I want to concentrate on the match, AB is just enough to increase the...

Numbers are kind of nonsense, but the cards look nice!

It's more common than you think, even with kids who don't play such strong shots as Harimoto.

I think many of them has regular training partners and the place is dependant on the partners. Other than this, they train some amount with their club (clubmates might be the regular partners too) and they train with their national team.

I've only seen squash a few occasions, don't even know the rules, but didn't like it much. Tennis is kinda boring for me. Like TT without adrenaline. I am a table tennis fan not just as a player, but as a spectator, no question for me which is the best even to see. But I know that an...

Sorry, I probably gone too far. I am a big ZJK fan, it's just irritating that every single thread where his name appears becomes a ZJK thread. It's ok that we speak about his equipment changes and so on. No problem till it's related to the thread. But that post begins like: It's really not...

TT Forum Rules No.1: ZJK is the only thing cool enough to be posted on every thread without caring about the relevance. ZJK is so cool he simply can't be offtopic. :cool: By the way I'm curious where you heard about that, I would be very sad. Feel free to post it on the official ZJK thread. :p...

One of my regular training partners (my teammate: 13. yo. full out attacker. He is in top 10 in hungary U13). used two Liu Shiwen with T64, T80 and T05 (mostly T64). I think it's a very good blade, but since he changed to Viscaria his loops are heavier (more spin) and he is better now off the...

Seems the Slovakian 4rd league is more or less equivalent to the Hungarian 4rd league. By the way - could you write a review about the Hype KR?

Who else watched Omar Assar's reflex training instead of CCY's flicks? :D

What about short pips? You can produce your own spin, you can distract the opponent with dead blocks and you can hit through spin easily like Ma Lin did with his RPB. If you have a good TPB then long pips with thicker sponge or medium pips might be better for greater difference, but if you're...

T05 is slower. MX-P won't be too fast to play with it. But EL-S and MX-S has enough power to finish a point and if you train with them then you will have better mechanics and higher power. Many players use H3 for this reason: developing technique, as it doesn't have too much catapult. If you get...
