  4. Besides table tennis, what hobbies/sports do you do in your free time?

    Fountain pens are like TT, the selection and choices (esp on the wooden barrels) are many. What I meant was if you assemble them yourself the wooden barrel choices are huge! For those more interested in these components, see the link below...
  5. Besides table tennis, what hobbies/sports do you do in your free time?

    I started playing Pickleball in January. It's getting popular in the US and many cities are opening courts. For example my city (500,000 people) is building 8 new courts ( on top of the 26 courts around town)! Tennis is losing players to Pickleball. Does it replace TT? No, it's just...
  6. Tell me about your table tennis experiences in foreign countries

    I'm currently in Istanbul Turkey (on holiday as they call it). This past Monday I visited Fenerbahçe Veteran Table Tennis Club and had a great time. The people were great and playing was a blast. Interesting that people half the world away can find a common sport and have fun. I'll visit...
  7. How to Clean your Blades?

    I occasionally clean my handle with rubbing alcohol. Stay away from any plastics. It (the rubbing alcohol) can lift off some sweat/grime (depends how long it's been there). Again, this is what I do. Best part it doesn't contain harmful chemicals.
  8. What do you think is the best tournament ball?

    I've been happy using Sanwei ABS Pro. They're nearly identical to DHS DJ40+(?) and better quality. I believe they're all spec'd from a few manufacturers.
  9. Is there a way to responsibly recycle dead rubbers?

    There is no perfect way to recycle rubbers. Yes we can hand them down to others (where they may be used for months or years). They will eventually end up in the trash. Sorry to say that. Only we're a consumer society. Just look in your trash at all the things we toss away. I am guilty...
  10. My game needs serious help

    @flathitter. Tell me how many of the top 100 ITTF players use your grip? I bet you can only count the number of penholders on one hand. Now how many use SH? I make my point. You've been buying equipment and that will not change your situation. Just buy an All+ or Off- blade and...
  11. My game needs serious help

    Blue Devil logo, does that mean you're in NC? If so you have some decent clubs (Triangle, Charlotte, Ashville) possibly in a 2 hr drive. Without changing your grip or taking in person lessons, you are limiting what improvements can be made. There is no magic rubber. Since you haven't played...
  12. New Blade for player with wrist problems and physically weak

    There are many blades in: DEF, ALL, OFF++ both light and heavy. The question you need to ask is: what is my playing style? Do you like to stay close to the table for a fast paced style, or step back? Or?? Get a coach, play some friends, let them provide some input. Ask to try some...
  13. Edge tape thickness

    12mm all the time.. it covers the blade and both sponges (into the rubber). I've used 9mm & 10mm in the past and there's nothing wrong with it, it can leave portions of the sponge exposed as it's not edge to edge
  14. Coached vs un-coached player

    Both players had 2 games each, and in the 5th Dan was only 2 points away from match point. Hats off to both, a nice tight match! But all that counts is a 'W' in your column...
  15. What is my USA rating?

    MOG, do you know how big the US is? The drive alone (with no table tennis) is 3 days (4 days is more realistic). If you played selectivly along the way, it could be 6-9 weeks (assuming most TT clubs are more active on the weekend. Getting in a couple tournaments along the way. I'm in...
  16. What is my USA rating?

    MOG, Why not plan for a US tournament in the future (after this mess goes away)? You'll have time to practice at your club, and, resolve your curiosity. Tournaments on the East Coast are a 6 hour flight away from the UK.
  17. Reputable Chinese websites to buy original blades and rubbers

    Why not buy from tabletennis11? The price (including shipping) will be cheaper. And they are reputable.
  18. What is my USA rating?

    Which player are you? Also this was one rally (in one person serving too).
  19. The Orange Ball should be the standard ball

    Orange ball on a red rubber is not exactly easy to see (lacks contrast). Will you then ban orange shirts, orange shorts during competition? And what shade of orange will you ban (light orange, medium orange, dark orange)?
  20. Should I play short pips or inverted?

    Why not start off playing shakehand? In the long run it's more dominant and will help you progress. While you think about that, think about the top 10 men & women players. What's their hold (shareholders or penhold)?
