  1. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    1st day using my anti setup. Service receive is freaking easy lol coz the sideswipe literally deals with all serves using very similar motions, and so is sidespin chopblocking. Also if the opponent serves a short heavy backspin serve it was so easy to attack. Looping backspin was pretty easy too...
  2. How to attack with Long Pips?

    Lol i played with my anti setup today. Was quite easy to attack - same 2 finger lever arm concept for the BH allows topspin to be generated. Esp against backspin it is easy peasy
  3. Hurricane 3 tips

    So tacky rubbers produce higher spin to speed ratios in general because the tackiness actually reduces the incoming speed of the ball quite a bit (this is why when you drop a ball onto it, it dies off). The huge benefit is in length control in the serve/short game because you can easily keep...
  4. How to attack with Long Pips?

    Watch some Kim Kum Yong and Yang Xiaoxin, they attack very well with the LP
  5. The future of chopping

    Choppers need to reinvent their playstyle to incorporate a lot of close table and aggressive elements (in addition to the chopping), with an active style to rely on spin and rhythm variation to create opportunities for a point ending FH loopkill. The plastic ball simply benefits close table...
  6. Difference between sticky rubbers and non-sticky rubbers

    Or you could use anti for the ultimate receive xD
  7. Why the end of China dominance would benefit to Global Table Tennis

    Now WTT just needs to fix that stupid camera angle...
  8. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    This is precisely why it is not good to 'brute force' counterspin heavy topspin. Much easier and more stable to either go with the sidespin or contact the ball away from the strong spin axis
  9. How to stop 3rd ball loop attack?

    The other way is to switch to anti xD. Then you'll be like uno reverse to all these nasty sidespin serves....
  10. Felix the champion

    The other thing is that Felix is fighting fire with fire with his head hidden RPB hook serve lol. I guess it is really the 'meta' of table tennis now. If you dont use it you're at too much of a disadvantage.
  11. How to stop 3rd ball loop attack?

    You can chiquita/BH loop everything easily including the heaviest underspin - it is all about knowing how to use the closed to open blade angle change to your advantage, using a small stroke and using the body well. I cant imagine he can 3rd ball a fast, wide angle heavy sidespin ball that...
  12. Felix the champion

    I think most shakehand ppl can do two wing penhold - it's not that bad of a transition.
  13. How do you block a flat fast drive from short pips?

    Yep it is unfair, and there is no reason why you shouldnt join them too LOL. You should watch this: This is also what I plan to do with anti, I feel like I can easily transform the rally into whatever i want, be it topspin counter or dead balls or even sinking fast light underspin balls or...
  14. How to stop 3rd ball loop attack?

    Basically chiquita eats this serve for breakfast. I love it when ppl serve this to me, it means i get a free 1st attack. If he goes for the FH pivot i will actually contact chiquita on the left side even more to increase sidespin and increase the angle even more so that if they still wanna pivot...
  15. Looking for a no gears/variables setup

    Apparently you can get some topspin action on anti. I havent got the chance to try mine out yet but from these videos it appears to be possible.
  16. How do you block a flat fast drive from short pips?

    I either open angle counter it back (which gives no spin), or open angle spin it back (but pretty much with the spin coming from the fingers). If you try doing nothing with the block it is indeed going down straight into the base of the net unfortunately.
  17. How low is your stance (for loops etc)

    Yes, i see some adult players trying to do like 90 deg knee bends, it doesnt work because they are not Fan Zhendong or Zhang Jike with massive quads. Much easier to bend forward at the hips which is what most pro players do anyway. You only really need something like 20 deg knee bend for the...
  18. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    Funny, my tackiness enhanced D05 performs almost exactly like the national version here...
  19. How low is your stance (for loops etc)

    Going low is not all about bending at the knees but really more at the hips. Too much knee bending actually makes you slower. The knee bend actually doesnt lower your centre of gravity by much.
