@TensorBackhand , It is your personal IMPACT. Simply, you have trained your impact to make use of sticky rubber with medium firmness. It requires a totally different kind of ball strike to use a Euro/Japanese rubber and of course that is over generalized... but those rubbers are way different...

You might have seen this young Korean lady TTer in some vids before - Jeong Da-Yeon... Here she gets 7 handicap points vs long retired KJH. Da-Yeon can really pound the ball on Fh (if she ever gets a chance to do it).

Kid from this vid is no longer a kid. (he now 19 I think) .. he goes to school on east coast... he visits Boston TTC sometimes... I was able to catch him there, spoke with him... turns out he was the kid from a years old vid where he was 1st year middle school TT player.

... and also a local league has zero obligation to copy and paste ITTF rules... the local league is under no obligation to do so... unless they subjected themselves to the authority of an org that does copy/paste ITTF rules.

It COULD go as Tiny suggested for the order and exactly who shall serve, but is does not necessarily be mandatory that it goes that way, the rules provide for the serving team to choose before each game which player of the serving team shall serve.

Yup. Korrekt. The player who served first in game 1 does NOT HAVE to serve first in game 3... it is the choice of the serving team to decide which player shall serve first at the beginning of that game. Receiving player should simply be the opposite of who received him (or her) in the prior...

So to make it simple.. if lodro served to player 1 in game one, he will be serving to player 2 in game two... and serve to player 1 in game three and so on. It is just that the serving team may choose which player of the team serves first at the beginning of the game (the first serve).

You alternate who receives opposing team's player 1 or 2's serves each game... it is only a matter if player 1 or player 2 of a doubles team chooses to serve first on a particular game. if in game one Team A won the serve toss (or other side won and deferred) so that Team A serves first.... and...

There have been some discussions about which player shall or can serve at the beginning of each game in a doubles match. Some TTD members have incorrectly interpreted the laws of TT (since it wasn't 100% clear in the English) to say the serve order is fixed so that whoever served first in game...

Persson Power Play is one of many appropriate wood blades for the OP. With an allround offensive rubber like Aurus in its different degrees of sponge, you can do ANY DAMN THING to the ball and make it look easy. You will want to spin for first shot when you use this blade, however... when you...

Adult learners try to do all steps and motions (with excessive motion) on nearly all shots and wonder why they are not progressing !!! It is no-shyt Sherlock situation if you ever saw one. Trying to master complicated muti-moving pieces shots requiring precision timing and explosion by means of...

I can say this about use of wrist when learning BH shots... it is difficult enough to get elbow out there and stabilize it... and it is difficult enough to make a stroke using the lower arm while NOT moving the upper arm... it is difficult enough just to effectively JUDGE where the ball is going...

Any softish modern dynamic control oriented rubber is fine... M3, Z3, Aurus soft, FX-P, and FX or Soft versions from the major makers... all make it easier to get ball into topsheet and do a topspin, this helps control on topspin and to develop feel to spin.

Big strokes and big backswings are moving pieces that make it a lot harder to time bat to point of impact in the efficient part of the strike zone. Inherently, beginning players develop slowly going full swing full power.

I "Downgraded to the PPP to get back to spinning first ball over driving... mission accomplished... and if I decide to go ground-pound dog pound... then I can bring the Quarter Pounder to the ball. I do not miss any of my former faster bats... I would say 6-12 months on the PPP I could play...

Jimbob is demanding sum Missouri action... SHOW ME. Klasse. but it is always fun to exclaim You CAN'T be SERIOUS ???!!!

I know JM actually said... du kannst nicht ernst sein ???!!! ... but... bist du ernst?... is easier to digest.

Hi @dingyibvs , You would have to glue the 1mm wood piece on a removed handle piece, shave it down and weigh it to know... but I doubt it would add more than a few grams and I would strongly say it would feel LIGHTER after you do it, when you re-assemble it all and start hitting. You would not...

John McEnroe said it way back in the day... bist du ernst ??? You may need to speak a little German, unless you make WR30 senior men level, then it doesn't matter, they will chase you with translator.

You could always start with 1mm shims on each side... remove handle pieces and apply a 1mm thick piece of wood to each, sand, install, sand and go to war with your nice 896 badge still showing.
