...
Do you have the Senso handles? If so, i can show you how to jam a little paper weight in the handle (call it James Bond secret storage operation to get Igor of the back) and maybe you get impressed how it flips serves better over the table.
Yes, I do have the Senso version - the V1.
If you want to, show me your technique how to jam the paper stuff into the hollow space...I guess that would be some sort of your patented beast mode.

Hey TTD - Just keeping this thread in people's minds.

I'll be working with @backspacer to see what options we have for a German meet up next year.

Likely August, but both date, time and location are still TBC.

If you'd be interested, please DM me and I can add you to the list.

The total number of people we have will depend on the format (whether we go for more of a league style match, or a larger tournament etc).

Hope everyone is well!

I am inspired to make it now, A lot of coaches willing to fix me and teach me how to forehand topspin. Might help me break 1800!

More seriously, a lot will depend on cost and family. Will get in the loop in DMs.

We'll have an entire hour to see just how many people can teach you a forehand topspin ;)

Would be great to see you!

On a serious note ....Just checking there will be beer involved?

A friend of my friend has a beer cooling machine, and it is also possible to rent it (should his be booked). During covid, we used to buy beer barrel/keg, and meet in our garden house - some of the TT club members. I'd like to reproduce this in our TTD meeting. It's possible to buy different beers and sizes, e.g. Pilsner Urquel you can buy 15l, 30l, 50l, but e.g. Radegast (probably most used beer in CR) starts at 30l. Radegast is 10def (4%), Pilsner is 11deg (4,4%), during play actually Radegast is better, even though you guys from Germany are used to stronger beers, I think Radegast would fare really well during play. So, what remains, is the amount of people attending and drinking, and how many days - you know it's better to have fresh barrel. Then I'd like to bring some barrels with me.

And, even though me, NDH and NL were a bit making fun of people who tried to "teach" us FH top-spin, I really want to say, this is no limits, everyone, everyone, without exception, is welcome, and will be treated as equal. Be sure of that. I hope many will come.

And, since it is a bit far away, please remind me what I just wrote, so that I don't forget the most important ingredience... Cheers, and thanks to @backspacer and @NDH in advance.

Sorry to get serious for a second..... (boo).

But please do DM me directly if you are interested in coming (no commitments at this stage as we obviously don't have the dates etc sorted).

It's just so I can keep a track, without taking a random comment as intention to come :)

Current List:

NDH
Badger 1 (Dom)
Badger 2 (Craig)
Badger 3 (Matt)
Backspacer
Latej
Tyce
NextLevel
Arkady
Golden_Son

I'm guessing there will also be Clubmates of Backspacer!

If anyone else wants to be added to the list, let me know via DM.

Also just tagging @Dan to keep him updated from afar.

First, one training session to set the bar. Then drink, and after that everyone will feel like they play better.
Only liquid coaching necessary.

Hey guys!

Quick update as a few of you have asked.

We are working on something super exciting, and if it all plans out, will be an awesome event!

I can’t share anything just yet, but it looks like it could be a Sunday in June 2026.

I have a video call with all involved in early January, so I’ll come back to you all once I have more information I can share.

If anyone is interested, please comment or drop me a DM.

Cheers!

The World Cup will be going on in the US at that time, so it will be interesting. Hope it all works out.
