  1. Tearing my hair out with OX rubber

    If you have enough patience you could clear the rubber from the glue but it's not fun at all :) As an OX user I found out that not all water based glues are strong enough for gluing OX pimples. For example Revolution #3 wasn't strong enough for me and the Yasaka Norisuke san worked just fine...
  2. Slovenia Open 2016

    It would be very cool if Joo could win this one too :D
  3. Croatia Open 2016

    Jun Mizutani ..................... 5 . 100.00% :D
  4. Glues

    Revolution #3 is just to weak for me. Not good for OX pips at all. I find Yasaka Norisuke san (who's that?) very good - strong, but not too strong :)
  5. Blade or rubber when trying to get more control on Long Pip chopping?

    It's really hard to answer your questions without seeing.. May be you have some video where your problems can be seen so we could try to help you? I can say only one thing - about the slow and spinny loop. You need quick wrist action when chopping such loop. These are the best loops for a...
  6. Should serve safely or try to serve a surprise to win deuce game?

    As I see it: the point when you are 17:16 up is as crucial as when you are 15:16. And as I understand - you've already played 7 times such points before this moment and took them using one certain tactics. So why change it? I don't see a reason. :)
  7. players who win by "oficio"

    If I understand the question correctly then Samsonov should qualify for an answer :)
  8. Solo Drills

    I'll try to describe my experience in solo drills.. The simplest thing is using a bucket or a cup or something like that placing it somewhere on the opposite side of the table and trying to make a topspin in it (my coach forced me to do for some time :) ). Second is training around the net...
  9. Blade and rubbers from Yasaka

    I would recommend Rakza 7 or 9 for rubbers. 9 is just a little faster with the same topsheet.. The X version is just.. I didn't like it - the topsheet is very soft (not for me). but I know a lot of players that like the X very much.

  11. Can anyone give me any coaching on my long pimple chopping?

    Ruth is just great! :) But. I think for your defense to improve - you need a stronger opponent. As I see it, the situation is like this: the topspins are slow and not very powerfull so you don't have to really chop them with a long stroke (your stroke is short, you don't use your legs and body a...
  12. Europe Top 16 - 2016

    There should be such an option on the Browser settings menu.. But it depends on your mobile phone(OS) + browser + do you have flash installed..
  13. Europe Top 16 - 2016

    No - it's free, but has some advertising.. Also if you try to watch from a mobile device you should load the Full version of the web page.. When the mobile version is opened it says you should pay :)
  14. Help with rubber selection

    I would suggest Hurricane 3-50 soft. It has lots of control, softens after a while and the spin is good. For me it can be the closest actual approximation to Geospin Tacky (which is tacky, light, slow).
  15. What table tennis rubbers & blade do you use?

    Blade: Butterfly Mazunov AN FH: DHS Hurricane 3 50 soft 2.0 BH: Sword Scylla OX
  16. Swedish Open 2015

    Yan An is out! :)
  17. Need more spin after the plastic ball!

    In terms of spin Yasaka Rising Dragon is really great! BUT, I don't think the rubber is your problem.. You just need to be patient and to change some of your serves somehow. The point of contact or the wrist impact.. Tenergy 05 is still a very capable rubber! Even with the 40+ balls.
  18. Men's World Cup 2015

    I think just the opposite.. For me Ma Long looks way stronger on this tournament..
  19. Asian Championships 2015

    Mixed doubles finals is nothing interesting for now :( But it's great that zoptv shows it in great quality. For CCTV 5/5+ tv schedule I use this: sinoepg.net
  20. A possible fake match between KIM Donghyun and CHO Eonrae?

    Cho was coaching Kim through all the tournament so such ting was normal as I think. Although I really hoped there will be a proper match. I can only say that the crowd was OK with that(I watched it live not on screen).
