Hi Tony, The Korean system defines Amateur as a player who was NOT in a school TT system. The amateur assn never lets school trained people play in City and Regional tourneys, only in a National tourney and only in the Pro Player division. Schools select promising athletes in grade school...

If you did not get that H3 from a vendor on Upsdide Down Carl's approved vendor list, or did the secret handshake when purchasing it, the Goon Squad is gunna think you have an unauthorized national version and will chase you all over earth.

Did a local league for the second time this month on my road to get back my competition level... won my table, but lost to the 3rd rank player in group, just didn't make shots and he did, simple. Won vs a visitor from Hong Kong... that young man must be a strong student of the hidden serve...

My LP wielding friend's chronic, long term EJ Virus has somehow failed to infect Der_Echte one bit. I have been around multiple EJ Virus infected souls without getting it, I been very fortunate.

Hi GM, NL has a good habit of recording EVRY damn thing... it is good to do this to catch and re-hear good stuff. A decade ago, NL and I were in a NYC TT club and he had run his camera for HOURS... when his camera was OFF, I went into a ten minute talk about some things concerning impact and...

I would agree in General about Gozo's coach's observations about sriver... and disagree with you a good chunk... but it is not absolute... as there is no single correct answer in TT. You are actually correct. When I went to Korea, as BTY crazed as the Koreans were in 2009... I saw ZERO players...

Hi NL, You might remember, some of the best moments of learning or discovery happen right when the camera is NOT rolling. It is completely OK. You have a great mental camera.

True. You correctly say this by itself and it is true. My comments were in the context of the same player P operating rubber X on blade A vs operating Aurus on same blade A with the view of articulating how easy or difficult it is to do the common shots Player P does. My definition of control...

Tibhar Aurus out of that list by a country mile. Easy to do all shots, won't get 70% of spin possible with a 20% stroke, but makes it easy to do everything and a good top end and good feel/spin in all strikes. You cannot ask for better control across a wide range of shots and the rubber last...

Tuning is not needed for a lot of rubber for performance or extension of useful life. I get HUNDREDS of hours out of Tibhar Aurus untuned, like 300+... and that rubber does every damn thing pretty damn well, but not the absolute best (ie T05/05FX gets 70% spin potential out of a 20% swing) So...

Yup, PRACTICE. We talking about practice. My Ukrainian TT buddy Sergey and I always get a good laugh about PRACTICE and the famous youtube vid.

Boosting is such a hassle anywayz, more power to all of you who can put up with it. I get more than enough spin from what I use unboosted, but maybe I should boost my knee and hip joints, yes that is something to look at to improve the performance of my crouch.

Yes, eat sum Kürbiskernbrotchen and Butter for meez.

This is OUTSTANDING. Internet table tennis forums facilitate this kind of networking that decades ago required the ownership of a spy network the size and scope of KGB. Being able to find friends and action is so damn good stuff it is indescribable.

Just all of you H3 fanboyz wait until Sergey Tsos gets on the forum to talk... he will put all your H3 myths to rest and set the record straight. :D

Hi GM, We had a Ukranian young guy in his 20s come to the Big Tennis courts in a part of Sacramento heavily populated with Slavic people... he didn't speak much English and said he was master of sport in table tennis... (yes I play Big Tennis a couple times a week and many of the players at the...

The vid makes you wanna go out and buy all those new Donic shirts, but actually, I already bought a new Atlas uni for me and the Tsos unit, they look real good, no need for Waldner and Persson to pimp them, plenty of merit on their own.

Actually... Persson was a great Trouble Maker in this Exhibition match show of matches. He really made it fun and helped Waldner make it more fun.

Persson in the vid too clowning around, fun stuff.
