    Yep same here, very slow
  2. Felix the champion

    Felix solved the speed problem of the FH in RPB penhold play. He takes the ball early off the bounce both on BH and FH. Although he doesnt use the traditional FH big loopkill this speed advantage finally puts him at par with all the new gen speedsters like Harimoto and Lin Shidong. I think...
  3. Jpen vs Cpen

    Yes. When i faced against penholders, there is nothing they can do against a quality short heavy sidetopspin or pure no spin/mild topspin serve that can seriously harm me. If they do any kind of push it is always attackable for me be it flick or loop. So it forces them to flick the ball which...
  4. Jpen vs Cpen

    I have been talking about this for some time: You should put inverted on FH and OX LP on your BH side, train up unbeatable serve/3rd ball FH loopkill, and then on receive it would be OX LP receive (makes you immune to short spinny serves) + 3rd ball FH loopkill. If they serve long just pivot...
  5. Club level players using Counter-Loop vs block?

    I recommend the mini counterloop (not the Ma Long style full blown FH counterloop kill), but similar to what the women use which is pretty much an abbreviated topspin stroke. It is not a block (which is too passive) nor a counterloop (which is too risky). I am quite good with this stroke and can...

    Cant play TT for some while but i was at home playing with the antispin racket. It was pretty funny, i did some standard heavy backspin serves into the air towards myself and used the antispin side to receive it, it was funny that the heavy backspin ball did not react much on the racket at all...
  7. WTT CHAMPIONS MONTPELLIER

    Xiang Peng's BH weakness finally revealed in this loss to Felix. It was ridiculous how he was winning only like 20% of the points BH-BH and this is why he will never get up to Lin Shidong's level... You really need a good BH to stay at the top these days, one sided play just aint it.
  8. Do pros push topspin serves?

    I cant believe all the answers. Yes they do it all the time. Even I can short or long push topspin serves if they are short. Watch Fang Bo and Yuya Oshima demonstrate this. 11 mins
  9. Jpen vs Cpen

    Lol if you like your grips so much, you should really try Wingspan from WRM. I feel like it is gonna be so fun to play with.

    Sorry to say but this viewing angle absolutely went back to shit....
  11. Countering heavy top challenge

    It is almost impossible to cheat in badminton. The atmosphere is definitely better imo. And you get a way better aerobic workout with badminton.
  12. Countering heavy top challenge

    He is definitely cheating, but what Im saying is that there's even worse cheaters around. This is why sometimes I hate this sport and prefer badminton at times.
  13. Countering heavy top challenge

    This is actually still tossed somewhat vertically, I would be happy to receive it personally. That day I played a guy who literally throws the ball horizontally into his paddle to create some gigantic weird spin serves, plus he was actually hiding it a bit. Unfortunately it was only for fun so I...
  14. Drills VS In Game

    The problem with a lot of these is that, the point starts with serve and receive, not a nice medium pace topspin ball. And that is a lot more complex than drills. If you want to do better at matches firstly you need to know how exactly to loop every different type of spin (there are 7 types in...
  15. Countering heavy top challenge

    If you use arm to control the ball it is very hard, you have to use your body to control the topspin especially using the upper body to 'hug' the ball - this will create a lot more stability. But the biggest problem is that you are pushing long serves and also serving long, thus giving up the...
  16. ETTU European Championships 2024

    It is not all about power. Speed is very important too, for eg Harimoto. Felix's topspin rally tempo is way faster than Alexis, and also Felix has better spin variation in serve/receive. When Felix becomes more muscular he will close the power gap fast, but speed is something that is very...
  17. ETTU European Championships 2024

    Alexis appears to have worked hard on his FH pendulum. It is very consistently short and low now. Previously it tended to drift long a bit too much which allowed his opponents to open up first. Also stopped serving a lot of his other serves like BH or lolipop serves to focus more on FH pendulum...
  18. ETTU European Championships 2024

    Also Felix choked hard, he was leading so much at so many points in multiple games and became emotional and pissed away points easily after some lucky points by Duda and didnt adjust to Duda's variations.
  19. ETTU European Championships 2024

    Hahahaha yep, i watched the video and it was obvious he learnt some tricks there. Also with receive, he was receiving Felix's serves really well at the end which is really not easy to do because Felix has a lot of very tricky serve variations. Somehow he started turning things around when he...
