  1. Creating side underspin with a loop

    With the particular shot in your video, I actually think the axis may be biased towards the topspin tilt. The reason, it would kick more sideways and less forward on the shot in your video if the axis was tilted towards backspin. It kicks to the left and away from the net and there is not so...
  2. Creating side underspin with a loop

    Knowing where the axis is absolutely makes it easier. You could push from the FH side and act as if it was heavy backspin because from there, it would respond as if it was. If you contacted the back of the ball (side closest to the end line) you can do whatever you want because there would be...
  3. Creating side underspin with a loop

    I am not sure if we are talking past each other or if you just are not understanding what corkscrew is. Both of those shots, the axis of the spin is not quite front to back but close enough so that, if you contact that side of the ball that both of them do contact, the spin acts like backspin...
  4. Creating side underspin with a loop

    Blaness, if it is corcsrew, which is why it would kick to the BH side, in the FH side, it would be as if it was backspin, and on the BH side of the ball, it would be as if it was topspin. If he contacted directly on the back of the ball which is where the axis of the spin is, it would be as if...
  5. Why are there restrictions for pips out rubbers?

    Me saying the ITTF's reasoning for something (certain pips being hard for up and coming players) does not mean I agree with their reasoning. That is you NOT UNDERSTANDING what you are reading. Just because a name is not accurate does not mean you should make silly childish names like you are...
  6. Why are there restrictions for pips out rubbers?

    Also, the way you try and create new names for simple things like: 1) Social Rubber 2) Spooster 3) Spooster Supremecist I won't mention older versions.... Things like this are childish and immature and make you come off looking even worse to everyone. You are an adult. Can't you actually...
  7. Why are there restrictions for pips out rubbers?

    I was saying there was no intelligent reason for the rule change: that their reasoning was flawed. But, you are a person who clearly likes to say dumb things and attack people without knowing what they are saying and likes to pretend or attempt to say people said or thought things they didn't...
  8. Video Footage Safe Thread

    This is a really fun video to watch. It is clear in many places that both you and Kazeem are having fun and playing around. But when you are executing shots, it is easy to see how clean and solid your technique is. Thank you for posting. It is really nice to get to know forum members a...

    Ander999 has been added to the list of people who can comment on video footage. Welcome to this thread Ander.....
  10. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Ander, your comment is good and useful and I like that you added a video of you to demonstrate what you mean. I want you to read below and then PM me. If you are interested in being listed as one of the people allowed to comment on the thread, we can work that out fairly easily.
  11. Should I upgrade my blade or change rubber?

    Table tennis is a very interesting sport. The racket is fairly light (blade and rubbers combined)....even a "heavy" setup is pretty light relative to any other racket sport. The ball is very light. You don't actually need much force to make the ball go fast and/or to make the ball spin. You...
  12. Should I upgrade my blade or change rubber?

    Honestly, I am not sure more than these two posts were needed. It is good that it was brought out that the H3 is unboosted. If you changed to a rubber that does not need to be boosted by you, it might be fine. But we really can't tell anything about what you really would benefit from...
  13. Advancing Table Tennis Robots: PongFox Tests Service & Return Feature - Thoughts?

    Many of those people are just good players whose commentary is worthwhile rather than them being coaches. But the important issue is, this version of discussion didn't really belong in a thread that is intended to make it so people can post video footage and be comfortable that the people...
  14. Advancing Table Tennis Robots: PongFox Tests Service & Return Feature - Thoughts?

    Since this is really the same thread as Palguay's, does anyone mind if I merge the two threads? Then, if the people Tony is asking come to the thread and comment, they are going to the original source.
  15. Advancing Table Tennis Robots: PongFox Tests Service & Return Feature - Thoughts?

    You can do that to anybody. I think it should give them a notification if you do. @NDH , @Brs , @Richie , @Lula , @Takkyu_wa_inochi ......
  16. Advancing Table Tennis Robots: PongFox Tests Service & Return Feature - Thoughts?

    Only problem is, it would not be right to not let someone like BrokenBall or anyone else make comments, especially when their comments are valid. And that thread is to restrict comments on people's play to people whose commentary would be valid. So this would be a hijacking of the thread with...
  17. Advancing Table Tennis Robots: PongFox Tests Service & Return Feature - Thoughts?

    Stroke technique, sure. But the things that happen in random play where a player gets put out of position and has a habit that limits their ability to create certain shots....seeing the flaws that are brought out in game strategy, not sure there is a robot that can read that stuff and help a...
  18. Advancing Table Tennis Robots: PongFox Tests Service & Return Feature - Thoughts?

    I moved this subject to its own thread because it is not a subject about one specific person's footage and to restrict comments from people who are not on the authorized list would not be fair, especially when the comments are useful. NextLevel makes excellent points. So, I would agree with...
  19. Is EJing good for improving?

    Are you kidding? Do you know who he is? Of course he got formal coaching. And he is a coach. He coaches at Lily Yip's club in New Jersey. Here: this is him on TTDaily. He is one of the original members of TTD...
  20. Is EJing good for improving?

    Well, for you, learning how to loop so you are not only stuck with one shot would be helpful. Good, hard flat hits, used strategically can be excellent. But if you want to learn to play, what you will actually need to learn if you would like to change your level is: 1) Learn how to...
