  1. What, if any carbon blade would you do you use or recommend for short pimples.

    I think it is very subjective what everyone likes. I think many short pimple players still use the Clipper. Proably some use carbon aswell. I have used Timo Boll Spirit and Timo Boll ZLC in the past. Falck use his Yasaka carbon blade and a friend of mine with double short pimples use the...
  2. Does tacky rubber slow down improvement?

    I think In general tacky rubbers are slower due to the tacky surface and often because they are a bit harder. Maybe not true if you cheat with booster. Since the rubbers are a bit slower you need to use the body a lot more compared to regular rubber which is less tacky and often faster with...
  3. Short pimple rubbers

    As long as you get a softer 802-40. The ones I have tried from stores from Europe is rock hard despite saying it is 40 degree? Very hard to play with and feel like the speed bottoms out when the ball have reached the opponent. Bought two from our Chinese coach that got his from some pro and...
  4. Does tacky rubber slow down improvement?

    Think it is difficult to say something in general. If it suits your game and you like it, then go for it.
  5. My technique on fh is bad, am I wasting money on Tenergy?

    Buy cheaper rubber and use the rest for coaching instead. Will give you more value.
  6. Forehand Flick (Short toss on the forehand side): The technique will be extinct?

    Think Almost the opposite. People will continue to do the banana flick but I think it will become kind of predictable if players only do it. Think it is a bit like that already now, players are like a bit chocked when the opponent push long instead of flick.
  7. Racket upgrade - welcome all thoughts and advice!

    How come you want to change? And why do they think you game will be improved by changing blade?
  8. help with forehand technique

    I do not know much about playing with a return board, but it looks like the ball bounce to close to the net on your side. Try putting the return board closer to the table. I also think it would be much easier to start if you do the stroke direct from the hand without the bounce on your side...
  9. Please advise on my equipment upgrade

    I think you can continue with the blade. More likely that you will limit you further development if you change to something to fast. Maybe try a regular rubber on the backhand side? Do not know how hard your Hurricane is. Difficult with to hard rubbers on the backhand side.
  10. Getting sponsored by DHS being from Latin America

    Must be difficult to get sponsorship from a asian company since there are so many good players there. Also believe that it would be easier to become sponsored by a more local tabletennis store in the beginning.
  11. Adam Bobrow joins a California team to Cause TROUBLE at 888 Teams Championship !!

    Is his playing style lobbing or does he play different in a real game?
  12. European Championships 2020

    No? I think they call it 2020. Maybe because it should have played last year? Not sure.
  13. The effect on weight (of player) on play!

    I think you could maybe move faster and prevent injuries. A high level coach with insight told me that Michael Maze do not want to go over 70 kilograms in weight since it is less strain on the body and help him play despite his bad body.
  14. #control (science / ability / perception / reality/ circumstanses) )

    I agree we need to look at external factors in the environment as well. Pimples are very sensitive too humid environments and it is not true that the conditions always are so good that there is no humidity so the rubber is not affected by it. Also different venue(what is the correct word for...
  15. #control (science / ability / perception / reality/ circumstanses) )

    I agree. What is control and when do we mean? and when? I think many here do not have less control in forehand loop against block to one point than Waldner or Ma long. But in the actual game Waldner is so good at serve, return, placement, variation and reading the game so he will have much more...
  16. Psoas injury - is it common for table tennis players

    I get some pain in the hip region and I think it is from too short iliopsoas(iliacus + psoas muscles) from to much sitting while studying and to much playing tabletennis. The muscle is prime mover for hip flex ion and we do hip flexion a lot in tabletennis since we are sitting down while...
  17. LUH pounds an attractive Div 1 Chopper

    Sounds like she is using no sponge? Or at least it sounds very hard. Must be difficult to chop the harder loops then.
  18. Best BH rubber ?

    Feel like we also need to say which blade we use the rubber on.
  19. Booster on T05 Hard and T19?

    If you have the rubbers they have tried I think you could boost less and they will not get as soft. Feel like this would be the same in theory as using harder rubber and boost them? Easiest would be to use a softer version of Tenergy instead like fx without booster?
  20. Booster on T05 Hard and T19?

    I think if they get to mushy they have used to much booster? do not know the level in Spain but do not think it is necessary to boost them to make them faster In the third division in Spain. Maybe if they get more feeling? But also a risk to lose feeling in serve and return if they get to...
