  1. Setup Question Long 5 + Rubbers??

    Do you have the blade 2x? or just once? Currently thinking about getting a 2nd blade. I just have that feeling there might be a better blade suited for me in the back of my head so I have a hard time committing to this blade and buy it again. But then again I wouldn´t even know what I would be...
  2. How do i start my table tennis career in india

    I always wondered how do they fit in gym hours in if they play 6h tabletennis daily? Full body workouts I mean or is that included?
  3. Setup Question Long 5 + Rubbers??

    Would this not mean that on "faster" shots the ball would overshoot more? In yesterdays training I could figure out that I can loop with a very slow motion and good arc/spin. My "bad" habits don´t work with the D09c anymore just holding out the racket while back then with G1 it would still...
  4. Setup Question Long 5 + Rubbers??

    Also I have to admit that my playstyle is a bit "slow". I don´t topspin hard, because my recovery is bad and I hate losing points to them if they guess it right and hold the racket there only. Thats why I focus on spin first because even if they block I have time to recover and hit the next...
  5. Setup Question Long 5 + Rubbers??

    I mean the other bh rubber I really liked on my old blade was the gewo hype kr 47,5 that was like 2-3years ago. But thats also not that much cheaper.
  6. Setup Question Long 5 + Rubbers??

    I don´t know which game you watched or anything. But its hard to take advice from someone who judges me based of off a couple minutes of gameplay. In matches I play to win. I don´t have to loop every single long ball immediately if my opponent lets me chose a "safer/easier" ball to loop. I play...
  7. Setup Question Long 5 + Rubbers??

    I meant that in my games currently ppl serve long most of the times. I would be very happy actually when they would serve short. Its weird because I had G1 on my Fh when I first glued the D09c only on my bh. There is no way G1 is less bouncy. But as you said you had it on a different blade...
  8. Setup Question Long 5 + Rubbers??

    Backhand: <- only placed it bad and I think I could have looped it with more spin https://youtu.be/_fLhJTyTs-w?t=330 <- active bh stroke in the end which nets me the point Forehand: https://youtu.be/kExjeAU1qP0?t=537 https://youtu.be/kExjeAU1qP0?t=544 https://youtu.be/kExjeAU1qP0?t=550...
  9. Setup Question Long 5 + Rubbers??

    Ok thanks for the explanation makes more sense now! I think I will stick with this setup for now not changing anything till the first half of the season is over (2nd December) Then I will watch my videos from the first games and end of season games. And just write down my mistakes (fh side /bh...
  10. Setup Question Long 5 + Rubbers??

    Yeah my current "holes" are 1) if my opponent opens up spinny I seem to have big problems (you can see that clearly against the lefty player I lost to in the video) Hard to train with players 200 ratings and below who have no spinny topspin.... 2) Attacking long serves in a way that I get in...
  11. Setup Question Long 5 + Rubbers??

    1) you mentioned fzd alc thats what I meant 2) I am not holding back because of no confidence but because I was not forced to do a "more active" stroke to win the game. I do go for more proactive shots when I feel like my "safe" playstyle is not good enough to win the game 3) well I would say...
  12. Setup Question Long 5 + Rubbers??

    Have you played with both? What do you mean will make it easier to play shots slightly out of position? Because right now I can also do "weak" drives back to the table when I am out of position. I also dont quite understand how a slower setup is more forgiving when topspinning for example if you...
  13. Setup Question Long 5 + Rubbers??

    Those 2 Blades are very different. And I don´t think the Setup is my problem. When doing Drills or in trainingmatches I feel confident if you read what I wrote. No Racket combination is gonna make me a better player if I don´t move and use the correct shot in matchplay. I do think matchplay...
  14. Setup Question Long 5 + Rubbers??

    I trained yesterday again. I could do insane loops with Bh (even the lunge forwards hitting the ball more when in rally) loop both sided flick with bh. Opening up with fh on halflong longish balls no problem at all. So I kind of got my confidence back. Even after the first loop I could keep...
  15. Setup Question Long 5 + Rubbers??

    Yeah I don´t have a coach. Also it feels like I am too close to the table and take the ball very early instead of letting it come to my hitting zone. I believe in the 2nd Link last Set I let the Ball drop more and that worked out great. But need to experiment a bit more. Because this thing where...
  16. Setup Question Long 5 + Rubbers??

    Are you using the 200$ Long5? There seems to be different long 5s. Also how does it feel for you in terms of engaging the sponge? Like do you "hit" more or try to contact the ball very thinly? I think the best feeling I got when I was hitting the ball more. The pace and spin just felt better...
  17. Setup Question Long 5 + Rubbers??

    Hello guys, I currently play with the Long 5 and since 1 month both sides D09c for the first time. (coming from R7 Bh and G1 FH) I don´t know if I really make use of these Rubbers especially on the FH I am very very unsure. Even on the Bh I do very slow drives against blocks many times. I...
  18. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2024

    I was there watching them play live is insane compared to what you see online. All those mini adjustment with the foot in-between shots. Actually how low they get and stay. How they adjust their distance to the table, staying not too close but not too far either. And seeing the countertopspins...
  19. Changing from Acoustic Carbon Outer (Nittaku)

    Don't play carbon bladed for a while. You want feel and control so something like petr korbel 5ply or stiga allround blades are good and cheap.
  20. Strategy against this player

    I agree I also tried this sideswipe receive with the FH into his wide BH sometimes. Which net me a few straight points. The big problem was that he was so consistent with his halflong backspin serve into my fh. I couldn't keep it short it seems or atleast not all the time. The lower rated...
