    3 months is very little time I switched full time to shakehand after a two year pH stintCoaching is to get your strokes or tools as they areGames Is where you have to work out how to use those tools. Keep going and you'll be ok.
  2. Need some help pricing that Viscaria ST black tag.

    The price is high but the market is small. If he wants to sell fast then it will still fetch several hundred pounds but if it's 1k then he will need to have someone well trusted to sell it as it may be hard to shift from a non trader. Also consider asking one of the regular high price sellers...
  3. Give me some advice on my Forehand loop

    You are spinning the ball by coming up the back which is good into backspin of a gentle opener. The reason you are getting lots pr arch and lack of direction is with tacky Chinese rubber you need to trust it and brush more the top when you want the loop to be direct. ​​​​this will lower the...
  4. Who has the best backhand in tabletennis?

    Copy Jun Mizutani. Even the Godking LGL said he is the best two winged modern looper to aspire too. the CNT are too physical and require too much dedication to training for a non-professional but Jun has a nice compact game
  5. Should I change to Chinese rubber on the forehand?

    Get Fastarc G-1 it plays like a euro rubber With some Chinese feel to topsheet hardness and stroke styles
  6. GLUE SHEETS...The Good, the Bad (and the Ugly?)

    I use cheap glue now. It's soft on the blade so doesn't Risk splinters. ButGlue sheets are goodGet the most expensive bty ones you can. The two sides are amazing. Just ensure the blade is hinoki or koto or sealed as they hold quite strong. very easy to use and last a long time. If you cannot...
  7. I never knew to both chop & block like this before

    No clue but it's definitely not FL3
  8. Does humidity have more negative effect on softer rubbers?

    Softer gripper rubber is better thank hard tacky. They're still affected but playing in a tiny humid to turns h3 into anti spin. I once played a whole league match pushing and chopping because I couldn't get a single rpm on the ball trying to loop or drive. I don't have this issue as much now I...
  9. Xiom Asia DF vs Donic JP03

    JP-03 is a very soft rubber, it's topsheet is also soft. It's very controlled but also quite spinny if you brush properly. But on punches etc it's low spin. Speed wise I'd say a touch below fastarc G1. I personally wouldn't use it on my forehand since ABS but used it on my backhand to good...
  10. Need Help Choosing First Custom Racket

    Fastarc G1 is a good forehand rubber but rozena is a reliable rubber for backhand. I personally would just go with that for now it lets you develop into anything really it's a very middle of the road rubber. Better value would be maybe Vega intro or Europe. but I'm not a big fan of xiom rubbers...
  11. #control (science / ability / perception / reality/ circumstanses) )

    See langel the issue is that he understands perfectly mathematics mechanics. He is admirably trying to weed the hokum from table tennis terminology but isn't very good at applying engineering, biology and table tennis techniques simultaneously. ​​​​​​Which would be actually fine if he listened...
  12. #control (science / ability / perception / reality/ circumstanses) )

    Brokenball you're once again taking concepts you understand perfectly and failing to apply them to boxing. I'll stop here because this isn't a boxing forum. Foce distribution is about over area not time. And again force isn't power at all. If you want to be overly technical then at least be...
  13. #control (science / ability / perception / reality/ circumstanses) )

    Brokenball. Sorry mate about the punch thing you're showing your inexperience with the subject again. See a knockout punch is less about force transfer and more about power (energy/time) combined with how well and how much time the opponent has to react and where it lands. Force is actually less...
  14. #control (science / ability / perception / reality/ circumstanses) )

    Standard deviation is useless in this scenario as we are talking about the amount of inaccuracies in a stroke regarding contact point, angles force etc that allows you to play a similar shot. We are not looking for the most consistent equipments but the one with the most forgiveness of each...
  15. #control (science / ability / perception / reality/ circumstanses) )

    Control is impossible to quatify specifically in the way we use it. Peter is right and we need to focus more on how change of equipment affects intended outcomes. For me control defined as best as possible is: The ability of a rubber to facilitate the style of play intended and received by the...
  16. Best BH rubber ?

    Hard feel: Nittaku fast arc G1 is good at everything but could be fast SOFT: DONIC jp03
  17. Viscaria vs Yinhe V14 Pro

    The real answer is the v14 pro has thinner outer plies and is thicker overall especially in the core. It's stiffer and a lot faster. This is because it was made for Chinese professional who often use slightly modified blades anyway But a good blade nonetheless. Fast.The pro-01 as said earlier is...
  18. EJs who have found the perfect setup?

    I've not fully settled. But I've had 3 perfect set ups and I regret getting rid of one. 1st one: timo boll spirit I bought on here for 46 euros 94g with a 999 globe natnl blue sponge 41 degree forehand unboosted and a jp03 backhand in the 40mm cellulose era. It was stable and basically you...
  19. I'm curious if this setup is worth the cost

    Vega intro could be good for a lower price.
