LGY is 27, LJK is 26. WCQ is 22 FZD is 25 at the moment LJK still looks like an olympic candidate, but LGY is pretty much out of the equation....

Things haven't changed for 5-10 years for LGY. Its not just his lost, but how he lost. But that is the reality when your colleagues can replace...

There is no quota. Look at how many Japanese of Taiwanese players they sponsor. I'm taking a wild guess, but I would easily say the ratio is 5-10...

according to Igor, "castomized rubbers and sponges" do not exist at all. and that is what I'm calling rubbish. If just 1 exist in the world, his...

Rubbish. I know so many players that have customized equipment. both blade and rubbers. Even Butterfly advertise its sponsored players with some...

Then they say, ITTF approved balls must be used. And of the link I shared, for years now, there is NO celluloid versions approved. If you have an...

I think both Ito and Hirano was also too small in size many times points won against them was they couldn't reach those far balls compared to the...

Agree. In fact using Ma Long’s exact setup can make someone’s performance worse.

my exact thoughts as well. CNT men's team superiority over all other teams will be in question once XX and ML retire FZD alone will be...

This i do not know as i never played with a H2, sorry

What about normal H2? 😁 (And of course, with at least 40 deg hardness)

That would be the normal H3 😂

Most of us have long realized that we actually would have ABSOLUTELY NO USE for rubbers specially made for the very top players. Most of us...

Let's say Ma Long is using the National Neo H3 40 degree blue sponge. He wants a slightly harder sponge, DHS agrees to make a blue 42 degree sponge,...

Some Japanese women athletes succeeded in the past such as Hirano and Ito. But they were merely a flash in a pan because the CNT studied them...

Try to avoid wooden blades with high flexibility. They aren’t linear and you will struggle with BH. Look for 5-ply all wood blade with a...

Sorry I have to disagree. I’ve used T64, T05, D05 and D64. D64’s topsheet is slightly more tacky than T64. The D sponge is also slightly harder. As a...

A rubber with the same requirements as a H3 Neo but more suitable for Backhand: Requires commitment, does not forgive placement errors, not very...

BTW I assume you all know that the 40- ball (celluloid) is still perfectly legal in all ITTF tournaments This is the same stunt Adhamm Sharara...

Here is a video with a bit more after the match https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdGrYSBUtXE Was that Matthew Syed at 7:34 on the video Was it...

Take a look at LOKI - T3. Fast and hard. https://revspin.net/rubber/loki-t3.html Or perhaps the Sanwei - Target National (New). Really fast and...

By unforgiving, what do you mean? Do you want less grip? Do you want extra-low throw angle? Do you want extra high power input requirement? Do...

interesting , but when i went through the ball section of the ittf rules, celluloid was still mentioned as a material to make balls

Funk Fu Master asked for a light blade, with the ability of looping - if looping wouldn't have been mentioned, I'd also mention balsa blades, but I...

You can still email a retailer, if he/she has a lighter piece. Table tennis blades are not uniform, they have natural variance in its wooden...

It will be a tie between Yasaka Anti Power and Tibhar Grass D-Techs.

Sweden Extra is (at least should be on average) lighter, thinner and slower than a Korbel when comparing specimens with the same weight. Korbels can...
