Yea it's just topsheet exposed to booster, it'll most likely go away in a few days.

Wilson Pro Sensation is among the thinnest. It's made for Tennis rackets so you only need about 1/3 of a tape to wrap a TT racket if you want it to be as thin as possible. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GKQFTQS?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1

LYJ looks to be in top form, he's probably the favorite to win it now. Glad to see him getting back in form. XP is playing well, I think the switch from the acB to the W968 suits him well. He has great quickness and FH, should emphasize that. His BH is more based on spin and direction...

You're paying attention to the wrong thing. Racket angle is not very important, it's something people dynamically adjust according to the ball. The goal is always to have a constant racket angle, but when the timing isn't right, and it'll be wrong pretty often, you'll just adjust it. The...

Right, and I believe it'll go into effect next month. It'll likely lengthen shipments from smaller vendors from China, but the actual $$ amount won't really matter since they declare so little. A 30+% tariff on a "$15" package is only like $5.

No, it's slower after ~2 weeks of use. I judge based on loops, which is what I buy the rubber for, not silly tests like dropping a ball on the racket.

It probably won't affect things much if you buy it from smaller vendors directly from China, they tend to declare $500 packages for $15, and nobody can verify. If you buy from say TT11 though then you're SOL. Last time when Trump briefly revoked the de minimis law TT11 shipments were being held...

It's just a sewing mat, kinda like this one https://a.co/d/eZpQ7dD

So I've been practicing the things I learned at the 1-on-1 coaching session over the past week. I learned FH loop vs. topspin, BH counters, BH loop vs. topspin, and FH loop vs. backspin in order, so I've been trying to practice them in order. FH loop vs. topspin was the easiest. I just needed...

You can absolutely stitch them together. It takes practice, of course, but if it can't then why do coaches, even ones who don't like shadow practice like @Tony's Table Tennis have their students practice footwork by itself? If you just want cardio and lateral agility there are specific...

He's got a LOT work to do right now, service receives aren't great either. IDK why the CNT keeps trotting him out. Where's HYZ? He's been doing really well in China and internationally, I'd like to see him get some more experience.

I disagree. Shadow practice is extremely helpful and is the first step in learning new techniques. You get the feel of the technique with shadow practice first, then with a consistent ball, then you try to add things like moving, leaning, etc. and so on and so forth. With every addition you're...

Well, she just came back from an injury. At her age it'll take some time for her to fully recover.

Man, that finishing shot by XP for the last point was pretty insane! Looks like he's switched to the W968, so fully embracing his pivot FH style of play now.

Sounds like D09c FH and D05 BH would work?

I think you should move up. You're making steady progress, so I think you need to play against people who can force you to continue to improve and train with people who are more motivated to improve. I can believe that girl has been improving fast. She has good footwork, body usage, and...

A bit easier with Viscaria or ZJK ALC, which felt pretty much like the same blade to me in terms of ball quality. At least the ones I own (all 88-90 grams) are both stiffer and faster to me. My FZD ALC feels a lot flexier, but consequently loses a bit of crispness on the BH side. The...

You're continuing to improve! Look at how flustered Wolfgang gets. He has zero ability to continuously attack on the BH side, yet he continues to force it because he knows if he just blocks your block back then you'll seize on the opportunity and counter attack. He tries to pivot but he's not...

Had a practice session today, worked on my new FH and BH motions. The FH motion was really easy to implement, it's really all just arm/wrist adjustments since I've been doing pretty well in terms of footwork, body usage, and activation sequence. Sometimes I do tighten up a bit as I focus too...

The one you're most used to.
