It's also never called at the club level though, even when umpires are present.

That's nice in theory but that rule was never enforced until now, when tech is used to enforce it.

Which is why the rules need to change IMO. Hiding the ball with the head is only relevant WCQ style when the contact point is hidden. The ball being hidden before contact is totally irrelevant. Hiding the racket before contact makes a much bigger impact in service deception.

You must be getting old Gozo :ROFLMAO: this was my last post with videos! https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/daily-table-tennis-chit-chat.13168/post-522137

I posted some a couple months ago I think, I can post some of yesterday's when I get it edited tomorrow!

Just got back from my latest trip. 10 days in Maui was quite relaxing, but spent quite a bit of time doing mental training still! The focus was on the FH, since I knew that was gonna be a really tough transition to the new form. It actually made a pretty solid difference. Then I had a...

Is it just me or is he using a new blade? His shots seem to have less arc than usual.

Yeah, I mean CYY has no chance against him. He just needed to get past Togami.

So I had 2 more coaching sessions the past couple of weeks. Going on another 10 day trip later this week, but then no travel for 3 months so hopefully I can make good progress then. So much stuff to work on, but a lot of improvements in form already. Last week I focused on BH, and I feel quite...

It's probably the humidity. Players release a lot of moisture via sweating and fast breathing while playing, and a smaller hall would get more humid, which results in more magnus force. Since boosters like speed glue affect spin more than speed, one may want to compensate by using a bit more...

I agree on the spin and timing issue. 90+% of the amateurs never learn how to use their body properly, so while nice to learn and should ideally be one of the early steps if you want to learn TT properly, it's not the reason you're missing. To brush the ball well you need to accelerate through...

Blade absolutely matters. Usually stiffer blades have lower throw angle. My 968s have a higher throw angle than my Vis which has a higher throw angle than my Yinhe T11 (7+mm balsa outer carbon).

I think the handle is roughly the same size, with the Vis being a bit more squarish and the FZD a bit more round. I think the difference is the shoulder. The FZD's shoulder tapers more aggressively, so allows you to grip a bit higher up the handle particularly if you don't have big hands.

Had a coaching session yesterday, finally able to fit one in. On the FH side I had some minor tweaks, raising my arm up a bit more, keeping the racket angle more stable, don't backswing my arm past my body, and strike with more consistent timing. On the BH side there was a much more extensive...

This video just popped up in my feed and the 2nd part (Fang Yingchi's part) is exactly what I described in my previous post! I keep falling back to the motion of kicking directly from right to left, instead of doing so in a rotational manner. But now that I've got the rest of my form nailed...

There is also a lack of information re: factory boosting though. Those things absolutely do outgas, you can smell the strong stench of it when you open the packaging, and the ingredients as far as I can tell are not publicly known. This is as opposed to say Seamoon or Falco boosters which have...

It absolutely gets heavier each time. If it evaporates then you'd expect an off boost rubber to return to its pre-boost state, like a speed-glued rubber, but that's not the case. Off-boost rubber becomes floppy like an overstretched rubber band. All behavior re: boosters is, interestingly, as...

They're very different. I actually liked the 37 H3 on the BH a lot when I tried it on a Viscaria type (it was a ZJK). It was boosted a few times but many moons ago so completely off boost and slightly softer than the D09c per my manometer(~1/2 degree). It was slow but very, very spinny. The...

After a brief review of yesterday's training footage, I had an interesting observation. On the BH side, despite how vastly different the new technique feels, it actually looks almost identical. It feels like I'm bringing the elbow in a lot, and I'm definitely using my shoulder rotation a LOT...

Winning majors.
