  1. Opinions on the Hurricane Long 5 Blades

    You need a certain kind of impact to get the most of the Long 5. I do not have that impact and am not interested in training to get it.

    I have done several visits to Westside TTC there in the vid and know Kyle personally, he did not surprise me by getting there with a good chance.
  3. Why isn't table tennis equipment produced in the USA?

    BB and Tony correctly point out some nuances and the basic reason: It is too expensive to make the goods and ship to markets compared to where it is currently being done. The ROI is not there so no private investor nor VC firm will be willing to throw away resources making a manufacture center...

    Underspin balls that will bounce high... not a good shot selection for slow heavy loop... loop kill targets they are. MAYBE you can do the slow heavy loop near the bounce if the ball lands deep... but if you see a high chop or underspin... OPEN THE BLADE. Keep bat chest height or higher... STEP...

    Yes, If I let the ball come to me a little more, most of the time it will be at table height or a little less when I go for my heavy slow loop. It makes me get down and use leverage and kinetic energy generation to pass along my body and make the whip to transfer power to the ball in terms of...

    On the topic of taking the incoming underspin ball early on the bounce with the BH... (not way in front of zone)... If the ball bounces middle of table and is coming a few inches long... it is not in your best interests to strike that ball over the table 1.5 feet in front of the endline unless...
  7. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    When you vid yourself, you can easily see. I showed you the BH strike zone... it is not too far in front of you... like 12 or 13 inches... but you can reach out and extend it a little without giving up much leverage... but that strike zone is pretty small compared to the FH, which is big and...

    19:33 Next Level should immediately examine the match ball... I believe written all over the ball were the letters B Y Y A... By- Ya !!! Like next Level hit the ball by him that it said BY-YA on the way by him..

    @NextLevel There is a Nigerian 2000 level player here named Chris... maybe 6 ft tall, stocky. He has legit skills. Should snap a pic and send you on whatsapp or something.
  11. Oh no! Zhang Jike in trouble?

    A lot of people have not been around terrible gamblers with poor judgement and worse self-discipline... You would be very surprised at how much and how quick someone can go in debt gambling vs pro outfits. Dammit, now I gotta make a JZK Trouble Makers jersey with black and white stripe theme.

    Just like locally here with Ali... Giving mis-information and advice to Dingyibvs is almost cheating. Dingyibvs can accept it analyze/validate it or reject it, and same session fix the issue to a large degree. I gave him a ton of nuggets to process, he prolly would have wanted a video camera...
  13. Technique advice for me

    The big problem is tightening too early, many adults tighten arm and or shoulder, it kills whip and power transfer, plus adds a bunch of errors or lost quality. When you learn to time the firming on BH, you can surely hit with power very quickly with very little space in a flash.. it is a...
  14. Common Sense Rubbers

    Truth, it is not spoken even a fraction of what it is deserved. I spoke of this to many of my TT friends and frenemies recently. Development in the mental aspect of TT is very akin to maturing as a person and has many transferable aspects to it.
  15. Quick poll on name on back of shirt!

    Hi Carl, Which jersey was this one? The V1.0 of the large logo Nexy or another? I mean, I sure would have dun something like that for real, and I know you would have liked it and appreciated the intent, but I just do not remember exactly which shirt this waz. On another front, I have invested...
  16. MXP National?

    Gozo is not gunna out German the original, but it is good to see appreciation from Gozo. However, Gozo prolly discovered TT earlier in life than Der_Echte did... and Der_Echte was in Germany 10 years and did not know TT back then. What a shame, eh?
  17. Technique advice for me

    A matter of seeing what happened, a step in, bat up and BANG with a firming at impact. You can make it sound like you are breaking the ball with a one foot stroke. Higher, softer, shorter balls on BH are targets for destruction if you can see it and have done it a couple times. You get these...
  18. Technique advice for me

    If they soft block, you want to be at the table to BH pound it if the block goes there... very easy. Show you in person later. You can punish them for blocking too safe to your BH.
  19. Technique advice for me

    I never been there, but the vids I see from Coach Daniel on his Road to Pro TT channel on youtube make the club look on par with ICC or TTA for play conditions.
  20. Quick poll on name on back of shirt!

    If the last name is REALLY long, then I go with First Letter of first name then the full last name. That is my convention for the name. I also prefer to include the country. eg: Trouble Maker USA I also like to include the team, sometimes the country too Trouble Maker Team Tsos...
