Looks weird in Google Chrome and Firefox on both Windows and Linux - the spacing between post titles in the Latest Posts section is too wide.

Thanks for the videos, MrThePortal - I'm enjoying ITTF's youtube channel much more since you took it over :-)

Depends on what type of feel and handle shape you prefer. These blades are relatively similar. Viscaria has probably the softest feel of the three. Many people say that Timo Boll ALC is somewhat more balanced than the TBS as far as weight distribution is concerned. Many others say that TBS has...

Probably not enough brushing, and thus the contact with the ball is too solid. Stop trying to generate a lot of spin with your current serve motions, and concentrate instead on barely grazing the ball with the topsheet (and not the sponge!!!), making sure that the contact point is as far away...

I've got an Adidas Hypertouch (with Adidas Tenzone Ultra on FH/BH) as my backup bat. Blade has perfect workmanship, plays and feels kinda like a BTY Viscaria. Basically, it is quality stuff.

Oh yeah, Xiom Tau feels like a brick when playing.

OSP Virtuoso OFF-.

Lacking both speed and control?

Playing style is determined by the shots you make, and much less by equipment you use! So keep your current blade and practice looping!

Excellent!

Anyone else having problems with notifications that won't go away even after reading them? I've got a red "1" next to the "globe" icon (to the left of the "Welcome, vvk1", and it just won't clear.

I bought all 4 dvd's a few years ago. They cover all the basics - for someone who fancies developing themselves into an aggressive chinese-style shakehand player. The content emphasizes drills, not tactics. IMHO, the videos from PingSkills or from Brian Pace let alone ttedge are more useful.

Looks like it's working on at least one person ;)

Both T05 and H3 Neo are very decent rubbers in the right hands. IMHO, the end result - the spin, the arc, the kick off the bounce, and speed of a shot are far less dependent on the rubber being used and are directly dependant on the technique/skill of the player using it. For example, based on...

If you're a righty and serve from the left corner, then one good place is the far right corner. The opposite works for a lefty. Another good place to place the camera is somewhat to the left or to the right of the umpire's seat, but be sure the viewing angle includes a couple of meters away...

Thanks guys. Speaking seriously, I highly recommend you add Larry's blog to your bookmarks. He posts in it almost every day, and there is always a great tip on how to improve.

Larry Hodges - the famous USA coach - reveals the real secret of Chinese dominance in TT April 1, 2014 Tue, 04/01/2014 - 13:51 — Larry Hodges Tongue Training Anyone watching TT videos regularly can see that most top players make use of their tongue. Most assume this is just a reaction to...

It sure did on more than one occasion, but never looked as hilarious as in the facebook vid. Edit: In fact, here is my "head receive" from just 10 days ago (at 19:32): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BXVk2gq_6I&list=PLTlOzSp18Zee7TLSJYyaNBjHJoaRlpQsb#t=1175

Tommy, next time aim for the opponent's eye like this dude :-) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=435624129916458&set=vb.338233632988842&type=2&theater

Poor Samsonov must be reading this thread and thinking "I'd better get Tibhar come up with something that's more spinny than MX-P" :-) Seriously guys, playing with MX-P is like playing with short pips? WTF. If you are having difficulties generating spin when looping with MX-P, don't blame the...
