High throw.
 

Id like to know how the expression "high throw" (of a rubber) is understood, does it mean "high throw angle" (steiler Ballabsprung) or "strong catapult-effect" (starker Katapult-Effekt")?

´High Throw´.....? - I know only ´Deep Throat´ *



* Remember Linda Lovelace...?

What is "deep throat"; never heard about it...
Do you have any personal experiences concerning "deep throat"?
I still prefer "high throw"...

I have no idea - could you give me a little bit more of the context? Is the term "high throw" being used within the product description of a rubber?

Especially, if the original version was put together in Chinese and then translated over to English, I sometimes came across with some really odd terminology.

Having a first guess without having any further details, I think "high throw" indeed refers to the parameter "catapult" - so probably "high bounce" would have been a little more descriptive.

I think Upi is refering to the mysterious person who had unraveled the blur surrounding Watergate.

But who knows - maybe I am wrong and he rather thought of something more suggestive ;) ;) ;)



Aha - there we go. I just noticed the Linda Lovelace remark. So of course I was off with my first assumption....

"throw" as people use it to describe rubber characteristics.

I found this (cant name the site):
So "throw" is most probably short for "throw angle".

Okay, makes sense! However, I had never heard of that expression (in that context) before. I'll ask the guys at my club tomorrow whether they know more about that and explain in more detail. I'll let you know...

Wo wir schon dabei sind, habe ich das richtig übersetzt:

speed drive: harter Topspin alias Schlagspin
loop drive: weicher Topspin
counter drive: Konterball
drive: (allgemein) ??
flip / flick: Flip
smash: Schuß / Schmetterball (beides gleichbedeutend?)
slice: Schnittabwehr
chop: Schupfball
block: Block
lob: Ballonabwehr
stop: Stopball

AW: High throw.
 

Almost perfect and I guess everybody would know what you are talking about.

harter Topspin alias Schlagspin: power loop, power spin, (and very slangy: rip-off spin)
weicher Topspin : soft loop
Konterball : counter (drive)
Flip : Flick
Schuß / Schmetterball (beides gleichbedeutend? - ja) : smash
Unterschnitt-Abwehr : chop
Schupfball : push
Block : block
Ballonabwehr: I'll find out....
Stopball: short push (and you could use stop)

Now, that I think about it - I definitely heard once a player using the expression "moon - ball". However, I don't know whether he had just made that up or whether it is actually commonly used..

As I said, I'll find out tomorrow...
