  1. The Backhand

    I watched this video as well some time ago, when I tried the movement I figured I was actually already doing this when I do a backhand topspin in front of my body. It feels more natural for me. I only really rotate my body front my left leg to my right leg when opening op against backspin or...
  2. The Backhand

    I remember having lots of trouble with my backhand. 1 tip that revolutionized my backhand topspin was: rather than actively trying to use your wrist, relax your wrist and release your wrist right after you swing your forearm foreward. I watched Ti Longs video, and he is doing this as well. At...
  3. I am looking for that 'effortless forehand topspin mechanics' tip

    Well what a coincidence! Last night I tried to do something I have never done: Record my gameplay and watch it back. And right after seeing the first few points I noticed I am standing way to upright, and that my poor footwork is causing me to not use proper mechanics in every shots. And just...
  4. I am looking for that 'effortless forehand topspin mechanics' tip

    Thanks for all the replies! Those videos from Anders en Craig really look helpfull. Also the tip of starting with the ball of my foot ball sounds like a good starting point. Yes you are right, effortless probably wasnt the right word. What I meant was easier and less effort for the shoulder...
  5. I am looking for that 'effortless forehand topspin mechanics' tip

    Hi there, I am looking for that one special tip that will make my forehand topspin easier. And with easier I mean: more power with less effort. I once got a great tip like this for my backhand topspin: "You should do the backhand topspin like you are throwing a frisbee". My backhand has...
  6. Retired Celluloid player needs Plastic ball bat ;)

    Hi there! Im a former member of this forum. I quit the sport a few years ago due to an injury. After a decent recovery I have tried some different sports, but I miss the competitive drive I had with this sport. So I decided to dig up my account here and see what’s up 😁. Of course the first...
  7. Blade for a beginner and rubber

    You are fine man, looks like you really are a beginner. You dont need to change anything in my opinion
  8. Blade for a beginner and rubber

    Well it really depends on, do you feel like you need more speed? Or you need more control? As long as you are just able to play as you like there isnt a reason to change your equipment ;)
  9. Please give me advice.

    Any Decent Allround(+) blade will do and combine it with some soft rubbers. Blades that they reccomend for most players in our club: Stiga Allround NCT/ Evolution Donic Appelgren Allplay (senso v1/v2) Andro Super Core Cell All(+) Butterfly Peter Korbel If I had to choose one of these for you...
  10. Slow down a blade or speed up the rubbers?

    I found out that the Blade is more important for the Speed of your bat then the Rubbers. I played with someones bat that was a Donic Appelgren Allplay with Bluefire M2 on both sides. And I have played with a Timo Boll Spirit with Andro Impuls Powersponge on both sides. Surprisingly a slow...
  11. andro Rasanter

    The biggest difference Andro made for Rasanter relative to not only the Rasant series But also any other rubber is the length in the pimples And the thickness of the sponge. There are rules for a maximum thickness of a rubber (sponge+topsheet). So what Andro did with Rasanter is they made the...
  12. I tried so hard, and got so far... In the end it doesnt really matter...

    Hi guys thanks for all the kind responses! Right now I will definitly stop playing with my right hand. Maybe I will ever come back to my right hand But Im not too Hopefull. Im going to continue playing with my Left hand. I think I just want to play without holding back, without limiting myself.
  13. I tried so hard, and got so far... In the end it doesnt really matter...

    Hi guys! No this is not an tribute with Linkin Park in the background :P, I wanted to tell you something thats been going on with me for some time now... Some of you may remember me, some of you have never heard of me. I have been on this forum for a couple of years now and table tennis has...
  14. Knee pain caused by shoes?

    Sounds like you stand flat-footed when you play. You should try to play a little more on your toes ;-)
  15. Is Samsonov finished ?

    Why would he stop right now? Maybe he is not getting batter at his age, but if he still enjoys tabletennis why would he quit?
  16. Stiga Intensity

    I have no Idea, but whatever it is I dont think it will be worth it to be honest. The Intensity is great by itself ;)
  17. Stiga Intensity

    I have to say that the Intensity NCT (standard version) is a very nice blade and I love it. But it really depends on your playstyle. This blade is made for players who like to Loop with controll a little bit more away from the table. Combined with Baracuda it gives a really nice, spinny, high...
  18. Blade upgrade needed from tibhar stratus carbon

    I recently played with Samsonov Stratus Carbon, and I liked it alot. I also have and Viscaria and they play pretty similair but the Viscaria has noticable more power. So this would be the best upgrade for you in terms of power. However, the Viscaria is just as head heavy as the Stratus Carbon...
  19. Rakza & Acuda

    Hi Roman, I think the Rakza 9 is the closest to Acuda S1 and the Rakza X/7 soft are the closest to the Acuda S2 but this is only the closest... Both the Soft versions (7 and X) are both much softer than the Acuda S2, at least from my experience. There is no Rakza that has really comparable...
  20. Timo Boll Spirit Vs Timo Boll Alc

    Timo Boll Spirit is more head heavy. The ALC is more balanced in its weight.
