  1. Need help on building a new racket for a new playstyle

    I have a question for you: It says you are using DHS H3 Commercial Blue Sponge: where did you get that?
  2. What is the best way to return side topsin serves?

    It is worth actually understanding spin in the first place. On a pure topspin ball, the ball will arc down towards the table. If you try to contact the back of the ball or the bottom of the ball (like for chopping or pushing), the ball will POP UP. You know what to do with a topspin ball...
  3. Footwork..

    The more you practice responding to random placement and work it towards being faster than what you face in a match, the more those pressure matches will feel a little slower and you will start relaxing more in them. But nerves are nerves. So, some stuff is beyond your control.
  4. Footwork..

    Here is a short video with Zhang Jike doing the type of random multiball drill that would increase brain-processing speed and anticipation for someone of his level: You might not want something as amped up. But notice, it is not a predictable pattern; it is random; and ZJK is being forced to...
  5. Footwork..

    Lots of good input. But the anticipation thing should not be underestimated. Over and over again, in that video, you are responding late to what is coming at you. You can't use good footwork if you start out late to the ball. If you start moving to the ball after it is on its way to the net...
  6. Can You Help me Choose a New Setup: Blade and Rubbers for Under €200

    Sven, one more comment, if I have to do this again, then perhaps you don't belong on this forum. I don't want to remove you. But I will if you keep on posting thread after thread on the same subject where you are trying to search for equipment for yourself. Use this thread and this thread...
  7. Can You Help me Choose a New Setup: Blade and Rubbers for Under €200

    Sven, do you think this thread is actually separate from your search for a new setup? I am going to let your Butterfly thread stand even though it is still the same subject, but for now, for the next month, if you post any more new threads, UNLESS THEY ARE ON A SUBJECT THAT IS NOT AT ALL ABOUT...
  8. Can You Help me Choose a New Setup: Blade and Rubbers for Under €200

    Sven, do you really think this subject is separate from your search for a new setup?
  9. Is this forehand topspin technique in the video for both top and back spin half-long serves?

    Your setup says Tenergy for FH and BH. What version of Tenergy are you using for each side?
  10. Yao Jinxiang: Invader? More Japanese youths think Japan is a "victim"

    Tony, no need to bother with this. As long as it is in the correct forum Zeio can post this stuff. I could be wrong but I believe Zeio is referring to a thread that was on the subject of the olympics where a flame war about history and politics got started and I simply removed everything that...
  11. Can You Help me Choose a New Setup: Blade and Rubbers for Under €200

    Just choose between the setup(s) (two blades and the rubbers) that TensorBackhand gave links for and the setup(s) (one blade and two different sets of rubbers) I laid out for you. What TensorBackhand listed will actually be a higher end setup and will cost much less. What I laid out will be...
  12. Yao Jinxiang: Invader? More Japanese youths think Japan is a "victim"

    TTDaily has a sub-forum titled: "General Off Topic Discussion". That is because the forum does allow people to post stuff that is not on the specific topic of table tennis. This thread is in the General Off Topic Discussion sub-forum. It is okay if it is here and it is also okay if you...
  13. Can You Help me Choose a New Setup: Blade and Rubbers for Under €200

    NAH. I am going to leave it all....at least for now. It shows that the kid is a little impatient and a little on the spoiled side. :) Not a great look for him. But seeing his responses when people are telling him he shouldn't bombard the forum with multiple versions of the same exact...
  14. Can You Help me Choose a New Setup: Blade and Rubbers for Under €200

    Sven, I had already merged two threads you made and told you I did. This is the second time I am MERGING your threads. ALL THREE OF YOUR THREADS ARE IN THIS ONE THREAD. So this time it comes with a warning. If you make another thread that is the same content as this, you will need to go...
  15. Can You Help me Choose a New Setup: Blade and Rubbers for Under €200

    The smiley face was supposed to cue people that the blades in those prebuilt rackets which I also called "recreational" shouldn't be compared to actual high end equipment
  16. Can You Help me Choose a New Setup: Blade and Rubbers for Under €200

    Thank you: @TensorBackhand. I do think that would be a great setup with either blade for Sven.
  17. Can You Help me Choose a New Setup: Blade and Rubbers for Under €200

    Can you provide him links for each component and maybe full name like Yinhe Big Dipper (and maybe what hardness you think he should use). Yinhe Moon 12 (ditto). Maybe a link where he can get all from the same place and have them assemble?
  18. Can You Help me Choose a New Setup: Blade and Rubbers for Under €200

    I wonder if the blade from that prebuilt Joola recreational racket would be comparable to the carbon blades you are talking about. :)
  19. Can You Help me Choose a New Setup: Blade and Rubbers for Under €200

    Sven, I cleaned up the grammar and spelling on your posts. You also had two threads on the same subject. So I put them together. You only need this one thread. Guys, feel free to give Sven equipment suggestions. I am going to suggest: Blade: Xiom Offensive S FH rubber: Xiom Vega Pro...
  20. The Archer Grip

    My opinion is, all you are looking at is blades where the angle of the handle is askew. It has nothing to do with the blade. And odd handle angles limit what you can do with a blade. For sure you can't twiddle. Take that blade and see what happens if you try to adjust the blade angle for a...
