back

I've been playing for around 10 years, most of it on inverted rubber for my backhand, but 4 years ago I started using long pips for my backhand. I have quite a defensive play style, but I was thinking of changing my backhand rubber to inverted again. Should I do so, and if yes, which rubber...

I've been reading that BH dominant players use the reverse pendulum and that FH dominant players use the pendulum however it's not making sense. It's obvious when you watch Zike, FZD and ML that it's true. But...when you pendulum serve with back sidespin, it's common for your opponent to easily...

Hey everyone! I had the luck of seeing another behind the back shot, this time from Jakub Dyjas at challenger series! I love the reaction of Romain Ruiz and also his gratulation, hehe.. :) For the whole match you can click here:

Back to experimenting with the pips here... currently, I am looking for a pip that is very good at attacking pushes/chops, using the relative "flat" stroke. I have been using anti/LP and really liked that aspect of them, as I don't have much of a loop. However, I'm thinking of going to a MP or...

Hey. I've noticed that I've taken it a habit to sway slightly back and forth while rotating. It's not extreme, but I feel that I'm stressing my lower back more than I could be, and I'm pretty sure I'm losing energy that I could be transferring into the ball. I understand that I'll probably...

I am about to conclude a 3-month hiatus from TT. I chose to take a break because I was burned out on the sport, and because I will be competing in a powerlifting meet July 30th and wanted to focus my energy. Beginning this week I will be doing 100 shadow strokes in the mirror per day (50 BH...

This topic is just for discussion only. We know that the switch from celluloid to plastic was to slow down the game, reduce spin(allegedly to handicap China players) and make it more viewer friendly. HOWEVER..... Sure the game has slowed but I personally find the matches to be quicker as the...

Hello. I've noticed that just about every Chinese top player leans back when they hit backhand loops. I also do this without any formal training and I've found it to be effective in increasing pace and allowing me to make the distance larger in a whim if need be. The lean is not throughout...

Hi everyone! It's been a while (for a number of reasons), but I'm back on the forum now! I have been away for a month so I missed the US Open, but I am going back to training now. I am using Nexy Spartacus with Tibhar evolution FX-P on my fh and Nexy Elpis on my bh. I really like the setup and...

Hi all Hands up, I got it wrong. I'm back to using the Andro set-up. After play with the Innerforce ZLF/05FX set-up, I found it very dead and unresponsive. The sound was dull and spin/control/speed set-up for me was far superior with the Andro combo. For the moment I'm keeping most of the set-up...
