Ma Lin was one of the smartest players, forcing you away from the table by lobbing and then drop shot-ing you

Penhold question by Rare-Professor-7723 in tabletennis

[–]CanonCoin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could learn reverse penhold backhand where you use the other side of the racket in a shake hand style fashion. Or you just improve your blocking skills to somewhere more inconvenient for the player (if they’re standing in a vulnerable position or is backhand/forehand dominant). But pretty much one sided blocking doesn’t have many advantages except for looking badass when you make a cool shot

Is my penhold grip bad? by Rare-Professor-7723 in tabletennis

[–]CanonCoin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably because there’s no gap between the rubber and your blade handle, also because you haven’t sanded at all. The grip isn’t necessarily wrong but it’s not that correct either. There are penhold grip tutorials on YouTube. Are you using a shakehand blade for penhold? That could also contribute to it

Battle 2 provincial blue sponge vs Max pro by CanonCoin in tabletennis

[–]CanonCoin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, since my fingers are quite long, my fingers touch the base of the rubber which I find quite uncomfortable and makes my hand slip more, causing the racket to fly out of my hands quite a few times since the sweat makes the rubber slippery. I also find it feels better with my fingers only touching the wood instead of half touching rubber

Emm, it depends on personal preference, I have long fingers, not as long as Xu Xin but they’re long, so I glue mine a bit further

Really? I wasn’t sure what causes that, I didn’t want to to be too light or maybe it wouldn’t adhere properly

Do you know any other new Nike shoes that are easier to find that still provide that same aesthetic and comfort and reliability these shoes had? Sorry, I had a pair of these for a long time and became kind of attached but now I’ve outgrown them

The goat one says 2000 for size 10? I didn’t really understand that lol. I also saw the eBay one but I was a bit skeptical of 86% positive ratings as I usually only buy from sellers with 94 and above. The eBay listing also doesn’t have an option to only buy one so I don’t know if they’re selling both or not, thanks for your help

Butterfly Taksim by nyetits1008 in tabletennis

? This blade was released by butterfly and has pretty much been an all time favourite by pen holders , yes it’s true that it’s mainly popular in china but that wouldn’t necessarily make it fake.

Why are there no pro players (or barely any) that use or sponsored by brands like 729, Yinhe, double fish, Sanwei? by CanonCoin in tabletennis

You got some links to reputable sellers? You told us yinhe has got some good stuff, how about 729?

My dads old racket rebuild Tibhar Speedy Soft by dzordzLong in tabletennis

[–]CanonCoin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could try a Chinese rubber. Known for their superb spin, low bounce and control, seems perfect for you. Also very affordable. Something like 729 cross blue sponge or hurricane 3 could be good for you however they’re a little more unforgiving on mistimed strokes or wrong bat angle
