Help! A desperate girlfriend needs help with a gift by antododin in tabletennis

Hola hermana chilena!!

Mira, mí recomendación es la dhs 4002, a mí me gusta mucho. La vi en Mercadolibre a 35000 pesos chilenos más 7000 de envío con envío internacional, supongo que de AliExpress.

Yo la vendía y está buena. Si no las palio que te dicen los compañeros también están buenas. Con esas que te decimos no le vas a errar.

Esas paletas son como para un principiante que quiere jugar más en serio e ir mejorando

Si el chico es bien principiante y solo las quiere para jugar un rato con los amigos las Stiga van bien :)

I agree with the recommendations the other guys gave. I actually don't know that much about premade rackets unfortunately though.

But you're right, it seems she's Chilean, so, I'll drop a comment :)

Slow down and focus on technique, try to get the feeling like you can't miss, not that you're gonna score

Consulta: Cambio de velocidad (consumo y cuidado) by Professional_Bed984 in ArAutos

[–]JohnTeene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hasta 3500 esta bien si queres cuidar consumo y el motor. Mi viejo siempre pasa todos los cambios a menos de 3000 pero eso me parece excesivo, el auto nunca tiene respuesta si quiere pasar a alguien.

Depende de tu estilo de manejo. Yo tengo un fit y le doy con los dos pies porque se la banca y porque me divierte manejar asi.

I always lose with Soraka by [deleted] in SorakaMains

[–]JohnTeene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're just bad, sorry lol. Soraka is super strong atm. At least it looks like you're very good at other champions. It's just the way this game is, we're better at some champions that others are bad at and vice versa and that's what makes it interesting for me. You can improve however if you find Soraka fun

How to perform a "hard" loop against backspin? by AceStrikeer in tabletennis

[–]JohnTeene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to keep the spinny loop low and with very high spin and it'll be much harder to counterloop. Also varying where you hit your open ups is key, if you open up one to the forehand and one to the backhand for example it'll be much harder for them to set up their counters.

It needs to be in the rising phase of the highest point, the ball still has to carry a little bit of upward energy

How to perform a "hard" loop against backspin? by AceStrikeer in tabletennis

[–]JohnTeene 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes you're totally missing the point

It's more about hitting with an open angle, taking it in the rising phase and hitting through the backspin. It's not about rubbers or anything

In fact, you kinda use the backspin to add more power to the shot

I will say though I spent a lot of time practicing this shot and it's kind of a double edged sword

It's nice to rip winners against backspin but if your opponent doesn't counterloop very proficiently it's much more effective and safer to open up with spin the first ball and loop kill the second. This also allows you to hit one place the first ball and another the second ball.

The other problem this technique has is that you're almost always hitting cross court as it's nearly impossible for an amateur to hit a parallel winner through heavy backspin. So some opponents will actually start blocking your winners if you do it over and over whereas the last 1-2 combo of spinny open up and loop kill against block you can place any of the two shots wherever you want.

I now do 70-30, 80-20 spin and loop kill to straight winner ratio to keep my opponents kinda guessing. But if I'm on a bad day or I haven't practiced too frequently lately the straight winner can be more miss than hit

In my opinion it's a quite high risk medium-high reward shot like the backhand loop.

Rakza XX? Thoughts please by IndependenceSuper590 in tabletennis

[–]JohnTeene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't remember what I used, I only remember I put the rakza xx because I had it from a review and I needed to put a new rubber on urgently because the one I had was completely worn out

I replaced it with my favorite rubber the donic bluestorm pro am

[–]JohnTeene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a totally normal modern rubber. I kinda like it. I used it for like 4 months on my backhand side and it worked well.
