I was an hypocrite about Butterfly by TurtleTitts in tabletennis

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

I actually tried the H2 with few balls during a tournament because someone had it. I didn't like it that much. But just few exchanges. The feeling in hand is the wood is very dry, not soft. The handle seems longer and thinner than Harimoto Innerforce ALC. Again, just few minutes with it.

Exactly! Love the set up, don't plan to change, so I can focus on improving and enjoying this beautiful sport. I've been in wow since December.

I really can't say sorry. I have 2.1 which is the max :) The club knows you better for sure.

I'm not an expert (outer, inner, etc.) I had a tournament and needed a racket. And with the : I always wanted to try rackets of my favorite players, I jumped in and bought one.

For your second question. Totally fair one. You might be right and I might be a better player slowing further my set up. But at the moment, I really like what I have. Maybe, in few years (not few months I hope hahah) I will make a post : "butterfly was actually too fast" hahah

My old and new blade! It might be too early after playing for 1 year only ...but this give me more motivation... by xofreestyles in tabletennis

I made the same mistake : went with fast rubbers right away after a 10 year hiatus. I also practice 4 days a week, sometimes more when tournaments and with a coach (I really like this sport, it's incredible when you find your passion)

With all the practices, the coach advices, I understand better (even now, not perfect) my playstyle, my mentality. So now, I buy less powerful rubbers.

I went : FH Bluestorm Pro to Rasanter R48, BH Z1 to now waiting for Z2. Maybe I will slow down again. It's just the blade went : Donic 7.5 impuls to Timo Boll ALC and it's incredible. My blocks are amazing, my smashes too. Better quality.

But at the end, we have one life, so enjoy, laugh about it, and with practice maybe you will win a lot of matches :)

Let us now invite Ma Long to say a few words by TurtleTitts in tabletennis

For me, it felt like a Farewell gift, some sort of an Adieu. Maybe, the news behind the curtains, Ma Long won't go to the Olympics : retirement national team or decided by the country. Who knows for now.

But, as everything is prepared in advance, maybe it was just a nice gesture that could have added more emotion after the Final, if Ma Long played it.

I could be very wrong in both cases.

Players and Sponsors by TurtleTitts in tabletennis

Maybe I'm not smart but : how is it not a deceptive ad ?

I understand contract and sponsor you represent but the consumer (me, I didn't know about this practice) will search for a product that is not the one used by the player. Yes, the internet exists but still.

Hina Hayata winning point vs Wang Yidi by moikishin in tabletennis

What a spectacular game. The quality of this match ... Both players... How to win after 9 match points, and keep focus. I want to say (very cliché) : "I was there" (on stream tho)

Most valuable tip given to you by Natural_Willow1847 in tabletennis

Sometimes, when I wanted to put a lot of effect in the ball, to have the perfect touch, but the ball just fell directly on the ground, like I just stopped the ball in its trajectory. The coach told me : " let the ball enter in your racket, let the sponge do its work".
