  1. Advice for my terrible receive

    IAMMARU uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu !!
  2. What brand of TT balls do you prefer?

    YES. My high level friend disliked those BTY G40+ balls even more than I did... and that is a damned difficult task to do. That is why G40+ balls in a Nitakku sleave all gift wrapped with care was an act of love to my friend. He would expect nothing less from me and would take my temperature to...
  3. What brand of TT balls do you prefer?

    I agree with you about the skill of the opponent, but a ball can make it easier or more difficult to do something... and if a player has no way to adjust, they are screwed, so it is the player in the end, yes, but equipment affects things for sure.
  4. Advice for my terrible receive

    Maybe you struggle on serve receive against players other than this one... so I would understand why you made this thread. In this vid, you opponent is doing exactly what a many levels higher opponent should do and there are very good reasons why you struggle in many areas. When I did see you...
  5. What brand of TT balls do you prefer?

    As for weight of Nitakku Premium, I would suspect they will be closer to 2.6 grams than 2.7 grams... but I still gotta do the test I promised on 5 balls to know for sure. My own empirical testing and experience shows the Nitakku Premium has a much lighter feel at impact and it gets slippery...
  6. What brand of TT balls do you prefer?

    I will do a weight test of 5 of the Nitakku Premium and see for myself. I did weight tests on nexy training, Joola training, and DHD D40 (DJ - the WTT version)... All of these balls are DHS D40 balls with different levels of actual QC. All three of the DHS made balls came out to 2.68 grams per...
  7. What brand of TT balls do you prefer?

    I call these people NTB. NITAKKU BALL SNOB We both know several of these NTB in our region, they insist on playing ONLY with Nitakku Premium *** and nothing else. mess with them occasionally and slip in a Joola training ball during pickup matches and see how long it takes for them to realize...
  8. Table Tennis Crisis

    You playin' against a mental strong and consistent player in Thomas F. Dude is Der Zersteorer in German. Killing people softly by getting it back.
  9. Table Tennis Crisis

    Of course true, However, if you did a good job seeing what was happening and were decisive early, choosing to play a well leveraged aggressive shot is not out of order at all... you still have good percentages on your side if this shot is within your technical capabilities. Where people get in...
  10. Long pips: If you can't beat them, join them

    When I went to Korea, it seemed like there was a national law saying all women over 40 years of age must use Long Pips and a pushblocking / inverted hitting style. So what did I do to get used to playing vs this crowd? (other than simply playing vs them a lot) I built myself a similar OX LP...
  11. Table Tennis Crisis

    Hey @lodro When I speak to players about how they lose points, this is the number one thing killing them... going for too much on shots... going for too much when100 percent is not needed... going for a swing with way more motion than needed... going for full power when out of...
  12. Table Tennis Crisis

    Here is the pic 888 took of me that your. You will surely spot us and say HEY Der_Echte.
  13. Table Tennis Crisis

    Here is a pic of him taken from the 2021 888 teams. You will run into us and a lot of other new friends, will hook you up with a few more ringers like Ali, whose rating is 500 points below his play level, just like much of the good LA based players.
  14. Table Tennis Crisis

    Hi @Caskal, I have been at Westside a few times on visits and have friends there, Kyle m among others. I am speaking of Sergey the Tsos Tsvor, who is a 2100-2200 player and has the most practical know-how about all things H3. He is really famous on TTD. Here is a pic of us at Dr Le's OCTTA...
  15. Table Tennis Crisis

    Look for Der_Echte and Sergey the Tsos over there among the hundreds... Sergey, the undisputed USA master of H3 treatment and usage hands down, who will soon be on the forum.
  16. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    Glue gasses out and blade can gain or lose moisture weight. 3 grams lost over a few months is not an abnormal threshold.
  17. slightly slower alternatives to MX-P

    Hey OP @Lasse1 Tibhar Aurus is right up your alley. Reasonable priced, lasts for hundreds and hundreds of hours and it is easy to do most everything.
  18. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I have somehow drifted into exactly what you described... on reset elbow several inches behind rib cage... it was like I was almost already cheating on the FH backswing to be more compact. One thing Angie and Stellan Bengston showed me at their camp recently was exactly that... that this elbow...
  19. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    @blahness is totally barking up the right tree (an American expression meaning going in the right direction on some issue) on this. (how elbow position on ready and reset ready sets things up) How you position your arm and elbow on ready or reset ready determines a LOT about what you can do...
  20. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Had a 4 hour training yesterday with John Rambo Daniil without anyone trying to get on the table for matches. Had maybe 350 training balls to use. Did many static and dynamic drills, many combination drills, many drills with a certain sequence then free to play to win point. Legs were smoke...
