No translator built in to TTD. What I did was copy the post into Google Translate. I had to break it in half. It was too long in its original. And I pasted the translated version into TTD. When posts are in foreign languages, people will often report those posts since TTD is an English...

Yeah. I feel fortunate to have a lot of friends who are pretty high level. Guys who have helped my game include: Edmund Suen, Michael Landers, Mark Croitoroo, Paul David, Matthew Suchy, Alex Peres, Attanda Musa, Damien Provost; there are a bunch I am forgetting about. Sorry about that...

Carrot, I am just making sure you know that the part in quotes is Google Translate, translating what ShineSnail posted in Chinese. So the only part that was me writing was me saying it was a translation from his Chinese text and me asking him to use a translator to put what he writes into...

You are using a translator to turn Tony's content into simplified Chinese. After you write, you should use the same translator to turn what you write into English: Google Translate translates what you wrote into English like this: "I agree with part of what you said. There are many overseas...

I think you are just going to have to wait and see if anyone responds. Bumping the twice on the same day you opened the thread does not seem to have made you any friends. :)

I deleted a bunch of posts. I am not doing this because of anyone. As I see it, there was an issue with communication and I am not going to say anyone was at fault. I think, perhaps, one of the biggest issues, seems to be that Newbiee may be writing in a language that is not his native...

I will say, Paul David was my coach for years. I really like how he works with people. Also, you will work harder than you ever thought possible with a solid high level coach.

You can use edge tape or not as you choose. It is a personal choice. Either is fine. Relaxing is not a bad idea though. :)

And note: this is why my posts include things like this: I agree it does not matter and it is about personal choice. I just think, if you tested, more people would be able to tell. Then you would just decide which you like better from a more informed position. And, certainly, many can't...

I really am looking forward to seeing footage of you. :)

@Der_Echte : How do you feel about weight balance: handle heavy....head heavy? Do you think a few extra grams at the tip of your blade matters or does not matter? :)

Start with the thing Freitas is doing on the edge of the table. But start by trying to do that against a wall where you don't have to be as exact in ball placement. That will really help your short game and improve many things you never would have thought of in your game skill set.

Do the test I suggested. Take your blade, hit several balls with the edge tape on. Then take the edge tape off, ht several balls; then do it again till you have hit at least 10 sets (several hits in each set) with the edge tape on, directly followed by making the same shots with the edge tape...

It is worth training your touch though. Your short game will improve and your spin quality on offensive shots will improve also. To me, Sims kind of shows that he does not really understand a lot about the game in may of the things he is saying. He also, in confrontation tones, shows that he...

Table Tennis is a sport that relies on touch and feel to a very large extent. It is a game of precision. You can't get good at the subtle aspects of the game, without developing those skills. Short game is an easy example of a place where you need those subtle skills that Freitas is...

Romain Lorentz who Dr Evil is recommending would be top notch. I think, at Ping Pod, getting a good coach is something that matters. There are a bunch of people listed in the categories of beginner and intermediate level coaches who I know and like but who I would never consider getting...

Something I left out for those who are fussed about head heavy or handle heavy (blade weight balance), adding the edge tape does make the blade a little more head heavy. When a blade is more head heavy, it feels more powerful. But it also makes it a little harder to get faster racket speed...

You could also try NYISC: http://www.indoorsportsny.com/html/index.html That stands for New York Indoor Sports Club. It is a bit hard to get to if you are not driving. But the coaches are top notch and the price is less than Manhattan for top quality coaches who come originally from China...

Lets separate the issues of whether it changes the weight, whether it changes the feel, and whether it matters. 1) It definitely adds weight since the tape does weigh something and you are putting it on the edge of the blade. It adds more of a feeling of weight than if you put the same...

Again: is there a reason you are asking about this in a thread about completely different equipment? = Еще раз: зачем вы об этом спрашиваете в ветке про совсем другое оборудование?
