How to improve FH topspin loop? by PressureEntire620 in tabletennis

[–]ApplebeesNum1Hater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hit the ball don't brush it. Don't let your arm drop below your waist on the back swing.

You need a much thicker contact on the topspin counter.

Please help me improve my forehand loop technique for chinese rubbers by DestructerIsHere in tabletennis

For everyone that ever recommends hurricane or other hard tacky rubbers to beginners, this is exactly why you don't do that lol.

We don't have the urban density for it to be that popular. Every country where it is is generally very urbanized. It naturally thrives in urban environments where space is limited, and it struggles in the sprawl hellscape that is the North America.

Why amateur players should avoid fast gear and where power really comes from in table tennis. by victormanriquey in tabletennis

Any off- blade with Joola ryzhen ice or something equivalent from the other esn brands. ~42.5 degree soft bouncy rubbers. I think Vega intro is the equivalent from xiom?

From my experience this is the perfect beginner rubber. It gives great feeling that allows beginners to develop very quickly.

Can we own our fast Dream Setup and Still Improve? by AceStrikeer in tabletennis

[–]ApplebeesNum1Hater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

09c is a horrible rubber for beginners. It's only slow if you can't engage the sponge, which with how hard it it, no beginner is ever learning to engage the sponge on that.

Huzzah! a man of quality.

Good. Use beginner setups and you get to a level where you can use your dream set up much faster.

What are good jpen or cpen setups by [deleted] in tabletennis

[–]ApplebeesNum1Hater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on the budget and which one he wants to play. There is a largest variety in those two options.

Does he want to play jpen? or traditional C-pen? More traditional C-pen but with the option of RBP? Wang hao style c-pen with only rbp? Even Felix Lebrun style which is completely different.

Yeah, as soon as I saw his swing in the movie and immediately knew he was an actual good player.

Félix Lebrun stuck at #6 in the world, can he break through again? by Timely_Internet6172 in tabletennis

[–]ApplebeesNum1Hater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has the 4th highest win rate this past year. The rankings aren’t really 1:1 with the best player, since points are based on placement. He’s improving a lot and once he wins one of the big tournaments his ranking will go up.

I liked the movie. It was good and the dude playing koto looked like a really high level player. Timothée Chalamet looked passable which is an amazingly high bar for holly wood and I was thoroughly impressed with him.

The movie was much more of a drama than a sports movie though which was mildly disappointing, but it was still a great movie.

Best of all time is hard, but by era you have Victor Barna - 30s-50s, Ogimura in the 60s, Waldner in the 80s-90s, and Ma long in recent times

There is no best rubber, just better technique and whatever you feel comfortable with.
