  1. Best long pip player🇮🇹

    This is why I'm using anti now haha... I don't see all that many weaknesses tbh, i can attack, counter and block quite well with it too, just not with crazy topspin unlike inverted. The main advantage is becoming almost invulnerable in serve receive lol. Anyway his opponents are all playing...
  2. I feel that Dignics 05 is extremely overrated. Is it just me?

    The other thing I wanted to mention as a long time D05 user is that you absolutely need to know the exact spin type on the ball. There are 7 major types - pendulum sideunder, pendulum sidetop, reverse pendulum sideunder, reverse pendulum sidetop, pure heavy under, no spin, pure topspin. If you...

    Same head hidden serves too!!

    I really like Kuo Guan Hong's playstyle. He has the same ultra spinny BH game like Lin Yun Ju, but he has a better FH structure than Lin as it is more compact and speedy (no offence but LYJ's FH leaves a lot to be desired at times and often lets him down). Kid also has a pretty solid FH push...
  5. I feel that Dignics 05 is extremely overrated. Is it just me?

    If you invest some time to learn: 1) short stroke topspins on both wings, with massive spin production from finger action and most of the movement coming from body alone. Not retreating to mid distance and doing relaxed looping. 2) proper short push and block technique where you rob momentum...
  6. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    I went the same way lol. It may have some interesting results. I dont like that she is always chopblocking and doesnt counter the topspins enough. If the opponent knows that she is always gonna chopblock when faced with spinny topspins then they can just stay close table and prepare for a...
  7. Is Dignics 09c good for serve?

    How high are you tossing? My feeling is that Dignics has a different mechanics to serve which almost requires that the ball sinks into the sponge quite a bit. The easiest way to do this is with higher toss (min above head level in my experience). I also have trouble really controlling low toss...
  8. Be honest guys: you don't need carbon blades

    Once you can generate very strong spin with wrist and fingers you dont need all wood to feel the ball anymore. Carbon blades are just faster with less effort so stroke can be made shorter without compromising power. Short stroke big power is very advantageous in the modern plastic ball game. A...

  10. Korean Lady youtuber Ggong Yang goofing off with An Jae Hyun

    My feeling is that with pips/anti one has the chance to upset a player with superior spin technique, but they are also prone to getting upset by other lower level players. When I was double inverted, if i had better spin generation and handling than my opponent on the other side (assuming he...
  11. Korean Lady youtuber Ggong Yang goofing off with An Jae Hyun

    Not me of course because I dont play enough. But i have seen it happen. For eg a guy called Lei Lei Lei (penhold illegal long pips guy) actually defeated a young Lin Gaoyuan lol...
  12. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Havent played in months and i think i dont even have the stamina to chase loop after loop lol. Someone pretty solid challenged me to a match and even though I lost 1 set i won 3 back with not even close scores. I had too many direct service points or setups, and he was just eating my BH anti...
  13. Korean Lady youtuber Ggong Yang goofing off with An Jae Hyun

    This is the problem with double inverted against someone who has spin levels way above you (for eg pros). You will never win the spin generation game and therefore will be at a disadvantage in every single area from serve/receive to blocks against loops to topspin rallies. Just be loading up the...
  14. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    there are elite amateur pips players who won against pro players, something that is almost outright impossible with double inverted. So yeah, the ceiling is higher with amateur pips.
  15. Sharing anti-spin Rubber Techniques

    What is the spin when you hit like this against topspin? Is it close to just no spin? For me BH attack against underspin with anti is quite trivial and easy, it is almost exactly like the inverted BH loop. The attacks against no spin and topspin are quite a bit harder imo.
  16. Are worn out Long pips better than new long pips?

    More reversal isnt always what you want, what is the holy grail is easy control on the degree of reversal. So for if I chopblock your loop, depending on what I do with my fingers and wrist, the outgoing chopblock could have heavy underspin to nospin or even sidetopspin if I so wanted. If it is...
  17. serve grip change after the ball toss

    The central concept is basically not allowing your opponent to determine your service type from the preparation stance and grip, the rest is the details. I think she does transition to a fuller grip halfway during the serve backswing.

    Lol even Aruna struggling like mad from the weird LP shots haha....
  19. serve grip change after the ball toss

    I discussed this a while ago but Chen Xintong actually surprised me when I saw this match - she used the same ideas of showing a service grip, then changing it midway to another grip to serve a different serve. So in her case, she is showing the normal pendulum service grip to her opponent, she...
