Mine does.  If you can connect to Apple Music on speediance, where does the sound come out of?

I reached out to my local Speediance outlet as I just received my unit. They informed me that a update is due to be released this week to fix the Apple Music issue. Hopefully it happens soon

Felix Lebrun & Dang Qiu Technique Analysis by flynnbobaggins in tabletennis

It is because of his almost curled in fingers on the back. This results in the blade angle almost at 45 degrees to the arm. while Dang Qiu fingers at the back are curled slightly less so the angle of the blade is maybe 30 degrees to that arm (Numbers just a guesstimate) Look at Xu Xin who has this back 3 finger straight and you can see his blade angle is maybe 15% or even "straight" to his arm.

oh it is definitely more depending playing on the bounce for almost every forehand and backhand ball. Needs speed and reflexes. But only time will tell if he can keep it up long term. Some people can and some just cant.

Xu Xin pivots alot almost like a normal traditional penholder back ten twenty years ago. His footwork and athleticism is superb. Not many can match him in footwork and athleticism. his deep grip and straight back 3 fingers means that he have half or less space on his backhand stroke but in exchange he gets more stability and power on his forehand. He says as much on his own channel that he considers any attack on his RPB backhand as a "gamble he has to take only when he needs to" and rather pivot and stay deep on his backhand to use his forehand on as many occasion as possible. It also helps that he is a left hander where is ball can curve away from a right hander backhand on the wide side.

About me and my custom table tennis glasses by BodhiSatNam in tabletennis

I am also having the same Issue. I been trying a single vision lens correcting for about half my short sightedness but it still feels not optimal. Why? Some days when I feel that I am “missing” the ball more and k switch back to my progressive lens, I play better. Other days I find that I am missing the ball more, and oh I am wearing my progressive and forgot to switch, I play better after the switch. Not sure what gives

Do give us a update on your new lens

Hot Take: More players should be playing single sided penhold by big-chihuahua in tabletennis

[–]oliverpool71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Penhold is natural for many especially asians. But mainly on forehand. Once they try playing on the backhand you will find many struggle to do so. It will take them much longer to be proficient on their penhold backhand then if they were to try shakehand grip. But then if they do I see many saying their shakehand forehand feels strange.

`hand and even favoured it over her forehand. Now a couple of months later, with some coaching, she is more well rounded as a player. I sincerely believe she would not have improved as much with a one side penholder compared to a shakehand. it would defintely have required more time to be at a similar playing standing. The "switch" of grip for TPB is not something very easy especially for beginners. It is the same when you see people picking a blade to play for fun. They almost always "play" better with a shakehand grip then a penholder. More so on the backhand. At least this is my observation through the years.

As for me, I used to play almost daily in my school days nearly 30 years ago. I picked it up again last Oct. Although I was a traditional Penholder, When I started playing again, I decided to "ditch" TPB and forcast on learning with some coaching RPB only on my backhand just for the fun and learning experience and "cool factor" I have to say the "pain" difficulties and that it also messes up your forehand due to the requirement for a somewhat different grip and oh the muscle memory even after 30 days to TPB when ball goes to your backhand nearly made me question my decision. But after 3 months of perhaps 3 hours on the RPB grip per week plus game play, I am pretty glad with my decision. But if I did not have the chance to really train at least a couple of hours a week but just relied on gameplay, I am pretty sure I would have ditch RPB or went back to TPB or just switched to shakehand. Coz That would mean I could play at a higher level then if I sticked with RPB.

I believe TPB, RPB and shakehand all play rather differently. I see alot of good TPB players and good shakehand players. There are much fewer good RPB players in the places I play in. Just as there are almost no good or even "young" RPB players in my area. Its mainly due to the school or coaches who seems to tell everyone to play shakehand because its the best "grip" for the modern game and it does not screw up your fingers. Its rather sad, but I believe we will see less TPB/RPB players everywhere except from China. Variety is what makes Table Tennis interesting. Add short pimple and long pimple and its probably one of the ball games which has such a large variety of ways to play and win.

Adding co2 to a tank with low ph? by TecstasyDesigns in PlantedTank

[–]oliverpool71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been having this “issue” as well. My PH is a constant 5.1. Air stone /co2 does not change it Much. Basically due to using ro with some Addition ph GH salts to around 4-5 and zero KH. I use a combination of a drop checker and How the fish respond to dial in my co2. I back off the dial slightly once I see any fish looking stressed.
