  1. 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...
  2. 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...
  3. 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...
  4. 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
  5. 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...
  6. 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...
  7. 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
  8. 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...
  9. 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...
  10. 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".
  11. 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...
  12. 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...
  13. 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...
  14. 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...
  15. 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
  16. 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 ...
  17. I like underspin coming at me than nospin , is that normal ?

    Hello everyone, I just started my third year in TT. My style now is forehand topspin big stroke mid-range and working on my backhand to be more of a two-winged attacker. It comes natural to me to topspin underpin balls because I can transfer my weight really down my right knee/leg and then...
  18. Cornilleau Target Pro and the spinny push

    Folks, for you who watched Dan review of Cornilleau Target Pro video, at one moment I was amazed (and Dan too) about the amount of spin the guy could put in his pushes, basically it was as spinny as a ghost serve, the ball literally went back to the net every time. I was wondering is this only...
  19. 2016 best moment for Ma Long and Ito Mima was kinda savage !!

    In an official ITTF video , Ma Long best moment was winning against JYS and seeing him CRY. Ito Mima on the other hand won some title with a very nasty net ball and and delved into celebrations without saying a word to her opponent.
  20. Would a grip tape help me find the anatomic feel on a flared handle

    Hi folks, So I went back to use my ZJK ALC after been working on my technique for few months now. I noticed that I'm so comfortable with my anatomic handle that I've trained with than the flared handle I have on ZJK ALC. My question is would a grip tape just help me find again the comfort of...
