I would say this differently. It is a shortcut. It simplifies things for someone who is just going to seal a few blades or one piece of furniture with it and not think about it again. I agree with the idea you are presenting. All it is is thinned out sealant. So, for someone who is able to...

I would not have explained that I let the ball bounce 2x if I did not do it on purpose. How about you watch the video, watch my timing, how relaxed it is and how it has a rhythm to it. Notice the ball is bouncing towards the back of the table. Notice that is as close to how you would hit if...

You would be amazed at how frequently this is the case. It is one of the reasons I would encourage everyone to post footage. It helps everyone actually know who they are giving advice to and who is trying to give them advice.

The test was to see if or how using WBG would impact the feel of a blade over time. Once a week for 6 months would duplicate someone who reglues regularly over the course of a few years, without having to wait for the few years to see the results. Gluing the rubber on a blade you don't...

I would enjoy seeing that.

It is okay for you to choose to use water based poly. I am fine with it. I am simply explaining why I wouldn't. If I did seal tons of furniture, or thousands of blades, I would use water based, because the harmful fumes would be a more important issue to me. But, for 1 or 10 blades over...

Years ago, I filmed the video in this thread with @Der_Echte. This is me sealing a blade with Minwax Wipe On Poly and how long it took. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/the-upsidedown-method-of-sealing-your-blade.15836/ This process is really simple and there is, in my opinion...

I like the oil based stuff. I am okay if you and others like the water based stuff. Even that small amount, I personally don't want to put directly on the top ply of my blade face. We are all adults. You guys can decide for yourselves. When I play, water does not sink into the blade face...

Gloss means it is shinier and the surface is more smooth. Satin means the surface has a sheen that is not as shiny or as smooth. I feel like satin lets the rubbers stick to the surface better because there is more surface area. But either is fine. The real difference is in how it looks and...

I fully agree with this. I have played with a few blades where the handle was sealed and it makes the handle slippery and to me, it made the handle feel awful. But everyone is different. I know people who like having their handle sealed because, then it stays looking clean and new. I...

Would you take a damp sponge and brush it across the blade face so you got a tiny layer of water on your blade? Would you do that on purpose? I see no reason to do that ever. Especially when the only thing that is INCONVENIENT about the OIL BASED product is that it takes a little longer to...

@PenHoldSandro : You made two threads for the exact same subject and the exact same videos. YOU CAN'T DO THAT. I have merged them into one thread. I also think you should know, you got some good information. Too much information will do the opposite of help you. You need to work on...

Minwax Wipe On Poly is what I would use. I would use the oil based version: In USA you can find it in any hardware store. You can also find this on line at Ace Hardware Store, Amazon, Walmart and plenty of other places. All you need is a pint and you could probably seal 200-300 blades...

I believe I told you a bunch of things to work on. So, you are asking me to do something I already did multiple times. Or did you forget already? 1) self hit. 2) if you could, robot. 3) if you could, multiball. 4) work on hitting the ball FH to FH 100 times without missing (counterhit)...

The reason he hits everything late is because he isn't even acting like the ball is coming towards him until it bounces on his side.

I have no idea what you mean. But it sounds like this is backwards. As soon as you see where the ball is going, you should be moving or adjusting to where the ball is going. Ideally, this should happen before the ball gets to the net, long before the ball goes over the net, ideally, as soon...

Honestly, I think the reason you hit flat is you are so late you are just throwing your racket at the ball because, otherwise, it will simply just go past you. Your reaction time is not the issue. Once you react, you react fast....too fast to do anything useful so you are often just throwing...

Notice, the stroke is not big. This is a control shot. Not a kill shot. This is part of the basics that you need to improve to start off.

1) I would use that first angle. And I would find a second angle that is from almost straight on from that same side where the table is not in the way, but you can see part of the other side of the table. 2) The stroke isn't bad but if you are only taking one every few minutes, your chance...

Here is one version of self hitting. I like this version because you can hit a whole bucket full of balls in a matter of minutes and get a lot of shots in in a short time before you go pick up all the balls. If you notice, for FH, I am standing at the BH corner so the table is not in my...
