My advice is to train your blocking game. When you are nervous in a tournament, the best thing is to start the game's first set blocking down the opponent and get the pace of the game. By doing this, you will start to get into the momentum and feel less nervous. One more tip is to stsy very...

Hi Everyone... I think this will be an interesting topic for many people here as many are rather confused by this boosting process unless you are a Hurricane rubber user. I do not like boosting but I am not against it since many people I know do that. I am against speed glue as it is unfair and...

Thanks for sharing. You are a legend! I will try eating a burger next time, just before a big match :-P

I will be playing matches with Carl this mid September after I'm quarantined for my travel. We will do our best to beat up each other first :-). I look forward to play you when I visit LA. If you are in town, let me know and we can play in PingPod. I will pay for it :-)

Makes sense :-)

Hahaha... Let's not be harsh on MOG's serve. There are many international players whose serves are borderline illegal. Ding Ning was called fault in Olympic and she said I had served like this for many years and no one told me it is a fault. She said the referee is too strict..haha. I myself...

Well... your power is still more than most people :-)

The power are almost all from the arm swing, not the hip or body. This reduces the potential of your forehand power.

You can compare the video you post with what Timo Boll does. Both are correct as long as you engage the sponge :-)

Next time shows us a loop with hip rotation , together with your arm swing. I would be curious how scarily fast your drive will be :-)

Based on my personal experience, if you are using tensor rubber or esn rubber, it will be more effective and efficient to not have the arm straight. This is because the sponge is springy enough for you to generate power with a chicken wing arm...haha. But if you use a Hurricane rubber, an...

Hi NL... From this video, it shows that you have very strong legs and arms. I am curious...after this drill, do you feel tired on your arm? Your forehand is using too much arm swing and almost no hip rotation. To me, this is a wrong way to strike a forehand unless you are super strong and you...

You are probably way more advance than my level. I can only share what works for me. Arm... you will always use arm in any stroke but I would try to use it during the brushing part and less on the contact portion of the movement. This is what works for me but will probably be different from...

The bubble theory is beyond my level. But I can say for certain is boosting soften H3 rubber so it is easier to use and you can obtain more spin because there is a longer dwell time. Then again, booster is different from speed glue. I can easily block a 1900 player with boosted H3 national but...

The irony is H3 sponge is not easy to engage if you don't hit hard enough. So, it really depends on how boosted is that H3 sponge. Everyone has a different stroke. We can agree to disagree :-), If you look at players above 2500 level, you will see how hard they hit when they loop.

I would gently and poitely disagree. All good shots need to brush with acceleration. But if you are not hitting through the sponge of H3, you are not unleashing the power of this rubber. Many of these H3 players boost the rubber to keep the sponge soft, so that it is easier to hit through it...

I agree. If one boost a hard sponge H3, why not boost the D9C too, which also has a hard sponge?

Haha... I think he miss us. Anyway, anyone that can get a rating above 2000 in USA in any region is not an easy player to beat :-). Carl... we played a few times together before long ago at King Pong. I'm the asian penholder.

If you have played several tournament over a year in your region and still are 2000 rating, you are very solid 2000. Still, your comparison between LA players and East Coast players based on yourself is far from accurate. Every player is different. Most New York players tend to gain rating when...

No I have not. I tend to use Donic, Xiom and Butterfly rubbers. Now I only use butterfly inverted rubber.
