  1. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    BELIEVE that you will place pressure on the opponent and BELIEVE that you will stand under pressure while opponent might fold like a paper napkin.
  2. Does Rakza 7 generate good spin?

    JJ, Sergey Tsos himself will need to come on the forum and clarify this. :D
  3. Does Rakza 7 generate good spin?

    Rakza 7 make spin? HAHA good one. That stuff is just like Sergey and K1... so hard to make topspin it might as well be categorized as anti rubber.
  4. Winning matches at a lower level?

    Figure out how to see the ball better and figure out what you wanna do. Figure out how to play close to the table and the bounce and work that.
  5. Which Hurricane 3 should I choose?

    OP should ask Sergey Tsos, will get the right answer.
  6. Does doing pushups have any advantage on playing?

    Hi Attitude, You also may remember I spent 30 yrs in an occupation that highly valued push-ups and drinking water... your Feldschirmjaegers would approve. Whenever I met up with those jokers to do the Sportabzeichen, we would do a hundred push-ups just as a form of saying hello to each other...
  7. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    What I just wrote may sound contradictory to what I would normally set expectations for, since it takes a while for improvement in training to make its way into matches at enough quality and consistency... Still, I have seen enough and believe it will show in the local league level better than...
  8. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    LDM7 is back in action tonite in league vs some opponents he hasn't played in a LONG time. I would expect him to do very well vs them, based on how far he has come in training and what he has already showed in local leagues. LDM7 may or may not have shouted it from a mountain top, but he has...
  9. Does doing pushups have any advantage on playing?

    @GregorTT425 I just explained some good reasons why good triceps strength is a good thing. Many members have given good information, especially those who articulated the ecercise/training things that develop core strength/endurance that helps movement, stance, and leverage.
  10. Does doing pushups have any advantage on playing?

    Hi Attitude, I can see where you would be inclined to believe like this. For the majority of shots, this may be so. When faced with a low energy ball to your BH, where the shot you want to do depends on fast twitch lower arm movement, the inner part of triceps is VERY important here, the...
  11. Which of my blades for a 1300 level player?

    To support Next Level et All... pick ONE of the blades on your list that is reasonable for spinning and use just that. Slap on soft sponge modern dynamic rubbers and stick with those for a couple years and see where you are. I know this is not an exciting answer, but most players will be better...
  12. Yoo Nam-Gyu shows how to shave a J-Pen blade and stories about shakehand

    You gotta set the settings to English auto generate and deal with some nasties, but worth it.
  13. Video Footage Safe Thread

    You are consistent and land the ball with spin, so the number 1 and 2 objectives are satisfied. If you want better spin, you need more whip and bat speed. Your current way to loop with bent arm and moving the upper arm and shoulder together will restrict the amount to whip you can make. You...
  14. Looking for rubbers with medium hardness and good control

    Aurus is not all that sensitive to spin with age... and age it has. I get maybe 100 hours of play out of Tenergy. 200 hours out of FX-S or FX-P. I get a minimum of 300 hours out of Aurus. In Korea, when I ditched my Aurus after 300 hours of play, my Korean friend in the club would take it and...
  15. Looking for rubbers with medium hardness and good control

    Look no further than Tibhar Aurus. Soft topsheet, overall plays like a 47/48 hardness. Makes nearly all shots easy. Good top end on big swings too.
  16. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Think of your two step footwork BH to FH where you step with left foot to right, then bring your right foot a step to the right... when you do that footwork, you are lifting the feet off the ground a little. A slide step is a more explosive two step where you push off more and are dragging or...
  17. When is a hand considered large?

    When is hand large? When it is about da size of Sasquatch.
  18. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Hi blahness, it sounds super outrageous, but if you wear SLIPPERS for an hour or two once a week for a year, you will do VERY WELL on such floors. The slippers force you to have effective balance and first step... also good slide step... and forces you to finish on balance. It takes a while...
  19. Rubbers for Nexy Yoo Nam Kyu Pro ALC???

    Modern dynamic rubbers work well on the ALC Pro, MX-K if you wanna keep it Korean, but a gazillion work well. This is a spinning blade with control, not an OFF+ rocketship pounder. I personally use a faster blade (custom jobbed) too, but the blade is not unserviceable, it spins well with a med...
