I thought these blades are very fast and hard? Easier to control with somewhat softer rubbers? At least if you want to loop. Edit: typo

Pretty good to compete at such a high level with only lazy blocking! Wonder how good he was when he really tried.

Interesting to see how good players are able to be today with this style. Must be much more difficult with pimples with friction and the plastic ball. Åkerström basically became a modern defender when the old rubbers were not allowed anymore. It seems like they are very high level if you look...

Feel like there are many variations of the banana flip. Good to be able to do more over and also more on the side. Personally I think it is easier to get more power over the ball but feel that the flip is somewhat clean and a flip with more sidespin will give the opponent a bit more nasty ball...

Feel like she is almost to close to the table when going round. Need space to be able to do the stoke but maybe okey since see seems pretty short. Regarding the stroke it looks like they focus on using the body but her arm seems so rigid and tense so will be hard to get a good opening. Even...

Feel like there are benefits of being both shorter and taller. Can image players adapt pretty naturally after these. Would be interesting if coaches think about physical attributes like length when coaching players how to play. Probably not so much? I know that you do not want to to tall when...

Never said it was any wrong with it, just maybe not so fun to watch all the time. I agree the focus is to win. Think to many new players focus too much on the cool shots like looping hard with a lot of spin. Like the OP said the Chinese do this but in my opinion not the main reason why you win...

I think Kong linghui and Waldner did some chopblocks.

Do not think they play much more powerful than the Europeans but the Chinese footwork is much much better than the Europeans. That is the most impressive thing about the Chinese. They move very well and stand correct so can play a better shot where as we Europeans many times do not stand correct...

I have noticed that there are some asian tabletennis youtube channels that seems to be pretty popular. Do these guys do it full time? Can imagine that the pro plays a little softer to get some good rallies but can also imagine that they try to play more safe becuase if they lose a point or two...

Thanks for the answers and sorry if i hijacked the thread. Maybe need to start doing it more at home first. Would be interesting to see if regularly meditation could make tabletennis performance better? I think Yoga proably is good for injuryprevention.

Agree with above. Chinese play a bit like mass produced robots.

I have played with both. Think ALC better if you want to loop more. Personally i feel ZLC more controlled in return game and blocking since it is feels harder, and ALC more bouncy. ZLC make the ball go more straigth and leave racket faster, while ALC the opposite. I remember that i hade problem...

Carl! borrowing this thread a bit. I am studying for like two more years. Thinking about trying to go to Asia for a summer when Corona is over to get some tabletennis education. Not doing meditation or yoga so much at the moment but would be nice to learn a bit. Proably good for the soul. Where...

Coaching would be good But I think you will develop much just from doing easy exercises and playing much slower. Difficult to develop the strokes when playing games and at such a high tempo.

I think you will get better feeling with this equipment too since you have been playing such a short time. If I would change anything I should try new rubbers first since that probably is cheaper. If you still want China rubber I think more wise to use on forehand. The biomechanics are not as...

I have thinking about trying a metronome to get young players to not play crazy hard and miss to early but have not tried it yet.

always good when people do tabletennis videos! personally i really like the 1,2,3 - everything becomes very clear then. Also good that you used slow motion and illustrated with the picture. For the content i think it was good too, but maybe nothing special for just Ma Long. Find the weigth...

I tried it for some trainings. Good spin and speed pretty okey too. Better for serve, return and opening loops due to the grippy surface. Good control too since it is a little slower. I had problem with the super high arc. I play pretty close to the table and the big arc did not work well. But...

what is the pros of using a 1-ply hinoki?
