  1. How do I play defensive players?

    Ok, thanks for all the suggestions. Definitely a lot to remember. I'll try those things. If I can remember... lol
  2. How do I play defensive players?

    So that means i have to back up too. Because if I stay close I won't have time to pivot. I did win a few points by pushing them back and drop shot but assuming I can play a FH to push them back.
  3. How do I play defensive players?

    So I'm an attacker and usually can beat 18-1900 players. However I have such a hard time against defenders. A few guys at my club are defensive guys that are not choppers and don't play pips but they give you back floaters and soft backspin balls. The play defensively and far back. The never...
  4. Why did DHS skipped 4, 5, 6, 7?

    This. And the number 8 is considered lucky because it's two round circles which is a good thing. Chinese are very superstitious. Some hotels don't even have a 4th floor.
  5. Hungary had a prodigy...

    I'm curious as to the politics of the situation. Why did the association sabotage her career? Are they trying to promote someone else they like better? Or did some corrupt official get paid?
  6. New rule to invalidate the ghost serve.

    Yeah that would never work for regular players. Unless they can leave up to umpire discretion of unsportsmanlike play.
  7. kids at our club wanting to play penhold inspired by Felix

    obviously it's not the only reason. but the fact is penhold has different stresses which can lead to long term injuries.
  8. kids at our club wanting to play penhold inspired by Felix

    Well i know of two people at my club that have thumb issues. They've been playing for at least 20 yrs.
  9. kids at our club wanting to play penhold inspired by Felix

    So they need to be aware that there are inherent weaknesses to penhold. There's a reason majority of Chinese team doesn't use penhold anymore. The major reason is when you train extensively you will develop injuries to your thumb and pointer. Because they are taking a big strain whenever you...
  10. How often do you change rubbers?

    There is no hard fast rule. It differs from person to person. If you hit the center of the racquet pretty consistently you will wear out the rubber faster than someone who hits all over the racquet face. It makes sense that you contact the same spot over and over will wear it out faster. My...
  11. Mayer Rod glue spreader. The superior invention of all times.

    I doubt the thickness of rubber is that critical. Sure you don't want to have blobs piled up in one area but it doesn't need to be so precise down to the mm.
  12. Have you tried Stuor Cybershape blades?

    I'm guessing the cyber"shape" patent is pretty weak. I know there is no such thing as IP in China but they could enforce it in law abiding countries.
  13. Hurricane 3 Neo (Provincial Blue Sponge, 40 degrees) is the longest living (and the best) rubber I have ever tried.

    I don't know how you can still get tacky H3. The last 2 sheets I bought were not tacky at all. Maybe they have different versions for different markets.
  14. Who are the players you enjoy watching the most? and least?

    That's interesting you say Sora "when playing well". It seems when he's not playing well he's like a moping teenager. His shoulders slump, he looks like he can't get out of first gear and gives points away. I really like watching Hugo. I love watching power players just smack the hell out of...
  15. Americans, do you still buy equipment from Aliexpress?

    I'm not going to video myself opening every single package. That's just ridiculous.
  16. Americans, do you still buy equipment from Aliexpress?

    The store won't give any refund because I don't have an unboxing video. I cannot satisfy their requirements because I didn't know something was missing until I opened it. That's the whole point of my complaint.
  17. Americans, do you still buy equipment from Aliexpress?

    How can it be the fault of the store? There are 3 stores that I bought from. So each store adds an item to the package and passes it on? I forgot to add that both items were packed into one shipment bag. So it was received at the same time. Which leads me to believe the order was...
  18. Americans, do you still buy equipment from Aliexpress?

    It's called CREATEPRO. I ordered two other items from different stores and they were received. I'm guessing whoever packed the package didn't include the order from CREATEPRO and sent it incomplete. I doubt it was the fault of the store since they were probably not the consolidator. My main...
  19. Americans, do you still buy equipment from Aliexpress?

    So I got screwed by Aliexpress. Again.... I ordered 3 items and only 2 showed up in the package. It was supposedly sent but when I opened the package one was missing. So after I opened a refund request they sent a huge list of ridiculous requirements. Here it is listed: To better support...
