  1. Thinking of going to the dark side

    The idea terrifes me but objectively speaking my two problems are the serve receive in the middle and to the backhand and backhand top spin. If short pimples will allow me to solve the receive and spare me the backhand top spin by sticking to the table to setup a ball for the forehand , I'am all...
  2. Need help receiving a particular serve

    Hello folks, I posted years ago about something similar and I actually got a response that solved the issue, here is me trying again on a different issue. Forehand oriented, been working on my backhand for few years and I got to the point where some opponents telling me that it is because of my...
  3. Anyone in Ras Alkhaimah (UAE)

    I've been there before, and now again for an extended period. It is one of these places where to the best of my knowledge, there isn't a proper club. It will be wholesome if anyone here is living there so we could maintain form
  4. Broken WCQ blade

    There should be a reason why he was so furious, why not his second blade would just perform the same ? some ppl were talking about boosting, that is, the broken was boosted but the second wasn't yet and we all know boosting take some time. I myself going for another theory being a long time...
  5. Backhand topspin tutorials are useless

    hello everyone, I would like to share this thought with you to see if anyone actually agrees. I feel like forehand topspin mechanics are pretty much the same for everyone, like we can distinguish European and Asian styles, Aruna Quadri style and that pretty much it, the basics are common...
  6. My incredible story at the very high level

    Let me begin by saying I'm only intermediate, maybe even lower than that. But then how can I access the very high level ? you ask, because my country of origin is not into table tennis at all, while I live and play/train in France and have this mid-level, I'm among the best in my country of...
  7. Are vibrations a good thing or a bad thing

    I moved to an Innerforce blade after few years of playing wood blades. I actually liked it and found it controllable but also I can appreciate the reactivness which causes the unforgivness to increase. Yesterday, I put a new rubber on and used an overgrip Butterfly. The overgrip decreased the...
  8. Is Gauzy using a blade from a different brand ?

    I saw Guazy's video with Bobrow and I noticed he specifically pointed out his Rasanter rubbers but when it came to the blade he was more vague saying he is using "an Andro Carbon" blade. Also the handle seems to be painted blue/black to cover the mark or something
  9. Unforgiving backhand rubber

    Hello folks, yes you read that right 😂 I'm rather looking for UNFORGIVING backhand rubber if such thing exists. I blv there is an educational value in that drawing a parallel to the DHS NEO 3 on the forehand side. But I'm not sure such thing exist , I would appreciate it if anyone has an...
  10. Truls silver medal is a small victory for all EJs

    Hi everyone, I mean what are are the odds someone changes their equipment and hop ... they are in the WTTC final. I didn't check the stats but I don't think any finalist was that far away in the ranking (77) before. This is a great comeback for Stiga after losing FZD contract. I know some of the...
  11. Insane scenarios to occur in the olympics

    I will start : Ovtcharov never won Ma Long , it would be insane if his first win against Ma equals a gold or a silver olympic medal
  12. I've never seen a lefty defender

    Been scratching my head all day to recall just one , at any level and I can't find any ... I remember telling my coach once about a 2100 points guy winning against the best defender in France who is about 2700 ... my coach told me while it is still a surprise, but lefty attackers like our 2100...
  13. What actually happened in that point between Simon and Hugo

    Hello everyone, TableTennisDaily (and ITTF) posted a video of a point between Simon and Hugo that everyone (me included maybe) don't seem to agree on what exactly happened. My interpretations coming from my not-so-bad knowledge of the game but also from Simon and Hugo personalities. None of the...
  14. Possible reason on FZD not performing

    I think FZD got to know early on that it is ML and XX who will get the two olympic tickets. Others on the CNT also improved but his general vibe is more like "whatever why should I even care".
  15. Reverse engineering chinese dominance

    Here we go again, one of these topics that keeps appearing over and over again. To be honest, I don't even think about this subject but the other day it just came to me and it was a moment of Ahaaaaa !! that happened while I was watching a match. Here is my argument and bare with me to the end...
  16. Harimoto Documentary

    I found this on Youtube. I don't speak japanese and I would normally just rely on the auto-generated subtitles. However on this one, at one point 23:48 there was what seems to be like a deep difference in opinions between Harimoto and his father on how to handle Timo Boll. From the looks of it...
  17. shouting at every point is the new trend

    Hello everyone, been a bit busy lately and I couldn't watch full Asian Games matches. But the few minutes I saw for FZD X JYS and JYS X Achanta. Maaan all players are shouting on every point exactly like Harimoto. I truly blv this sport will be very annoying if everyone started to shout at every...
  18. how to deal with Tomahawk service

    Folks !! I'm progressing a lot, now what is holding me from virtually winning every player from my level and probably the level just above is tomahawk service return. My service return is basically a chiuquita on short side-spin serves,spinny push for pure under spin , and I attack directly...
  19. Opinions on my game [video]

    I welcome any comment on my game and should I be working on. This my 3d season and I'm totally hooked to this sport. I'm the one in red
  20. ZHOU Yu new equipement

    First time in my 3 years closely watching table tennis stuff to see a CNT member playing RED in the forehand, thats Zhou Yu in German open 2017. I wonder if he changed only the colors for some reason or he completly changed his rubbers ...
