I’m reminded of this

Are you unsatisfied with how you played that day? Being unsatisfied with your day can keep you awake. Happens to me when I think about what I can do better, replaying points in my head. My solution is to be satisfied with what I learned today, write it down in my notes so I can work on it...

@NextLevel Just stop responding to these marketers. Let this thread die. the blade believers probably didn't experience the hurricane+tenergy combo era. the blade can be anything. as long as you put on hurricane+tenergy, we could all borrow and try out each other's blade and loop hard...

@NextLevel , you are arguing against full-time unpaid marketing employees of tt equipment companies.

Actually moderating doesn’t take much “time”. You just have to use 2 minutes when someone tags your name, look at the situation, and remove the thread or troublemaker. It’s even easier when there’s a team. I actually visit ttd a lot nowadays. I mostly ignore everything about equipment and...

I do. We played in robert chen's LIC club for a while and were on the same team for JOOLA Teams. As for his online behavior, he's really just 'yanking your chain', or as the young people call it: 'ragebaiting' Just ignore him. Or on my tt discord server, i just have him banned. His IRL...

Tao wenzhang went 3-1 and then 4-0 in the final match. he's the MVP tonight

i already moderate the discord tt community. i dont mind removing a thread or two on ttd. btw, hi keith, bye keith, see you next year

are we going to see posts for 1700 -> 1900 and 1600 -> 1800 later? exactly the same as this older thread: serve, serve return, first attack, (and first defense if you are older, injured, young child, etc)...

and it's not even close. I don't think they've used a Walmart racket like this example. Or this $10 mini racket. I can literally rip off the rubber and put on a real rubber and it becomes playable. And I can take the Walmart racket rubber to put on Viscaria and it becomes hardbat.

"What would JesusMa Long do?"

correct. you are doing it correctly.

Agree with NextLevel. If your techniques are Ma Long level, but you blunder like a 1300, you are 1300. Keeping the ball on the table is more important. Some related chess analogies.

For long pushes, you don't see people practice it much because it's easy to do (in comparison with to other techniques). It's also intuitive and it's one of the things even an untrained club player figures out with no coaching. You'll maybe see someone learning to push for the first time...

low toss / no toss serve is not really a discussion. It’s easy for the camera to measure and enforce. No need to talk about that anymore. Hidden serves are the topic. Are there cameras on all 4 corners of the table 1 court? ITTF should make a rule that the opponent’s 2 corner cameras need to...

Create a new rule that is easy for the umpire to call out: like, during the serve, your chest/shoulders cannot be more than 90 degrees rotated from just facing the table Regardless of the actual legality of those serves, the ITTF Rulebook says that the ref is able to fault any serve that even...

compared to his long serves, i would still consider those first bounces close to half-table. the camera angle at 1:14 is pretty bad, but you can see his other short serves in the rest of the video (and long serves). for serving short, there's a lot of leeway for the first bounce. there's even...

This isn’t even true. Don’t believe the words people say. Just use your eyes and see for yourself. Link to see 15 seconds in against Timo Boll

In a game, even pros can miss the third or fourth loop. Just make sure they can’t block the first or second one. You can loop really fast right away. Or you can do a super spinny loop first, and do a fast loop later. I encourage down-the-line loops. They usually win the point in 1 loop.
