  1. Bobloiy TTD member wins HUGE at Korean Tourney on US East Coast !!!

    It was actually the U1300 and U1550. The finals were tough; but I think the semifinals of the U1550 was harder. The person I played against had an actual USATT rating of 1700~1800, but he didn't play in any KTTA games recently, which is why his (KTTA) rating was only around 1530. I was quite...
  2. Win a new batch of Butterfly Easy Ball 40+

    I too have gotten an email that I won... But I never got a reply from them.
  3. 3 star 40+

    2 out of 5 rating for 3 star 40+ Alright. Here's my take on the ball. I have to say, I was pretty disappointed when I used this ball. From reading agold's review and many others, I thought that the ball would be very spinny, somewhat like the old ball but a little slower. Boy, was I wrong...

    Review by 'bobloiy' on item '3 star 40+'

    Alright. Here's my take on the ball. I have to say, I was pretty disappointed when I used this ball. From reading agold's review and many others, I thought that the ball would be very spinny, somewhat like the old ball but a little slower. Boy, was I wrong. This ball is for one, not very...
  5. Qatar Open 2015 - ITTF World Tour

    A quick question, what happened to Joo Se Hyuk? Why didn't he play in his round of 32 match?
  6. Kuwait Open 2015 - ITTF World Tour

    I'm not sure if it's just me or what, but I've been finding that the ball curves more during games? What ball did they use in this tournament? Maybe I'm just becoming more aware of the game or the angle is causing some weird effects...
  7. Advice needed: From handshake to penhold.

    Eh... You might want to change the title to shakehand. I'm pretty sure that's the correct terminology :)
  8. Help me Improve!

    Haha, I'll ask about you to him when I get a chance to... What's his rating around again? Anyways, I'm practicing my serve a decent about these days around an hour per training session. I'm conflicted on how I should make the serve fast but short at the same time... I guess only practice will...
  9. buying a camera

    Well, any camera will do. What's your budget? The sony a5000 is a great camera for the price($500). a7r I think is too expensive for him "not horribly expensive."
  10. Help me Improve!

    Haha, it's the NJ Korean TT association by the way. Anyhow, you mentioned hitting the ball within the effective strike zone already, so I understand that. However, can you elaborate on waiting for the ball, being in position, and impacting the ball earlier when I'm not attacking? Do you mean...
  11. Help me Improve!

    Whoops, changed it to white... Didn't see it there. Sure thing, I was trying to improve on that. I didn't realize what I looked like doing a serve until now, since it has been a long time since I've recorded my last game or practice session.
  12. Help me Improve!

    Hi, if you guys remember me I'm that 15 year old kid that started table tennis around 6 months ago, haha. I haven't posted on the forums in a while, but I have a video for you guys to watch again. I got noticeably better. I'm vs. someone around 600 points above me, he's around 1750 while I'm...
  13. Carbon vs Wood

    I use the Petr Korbel, it's a pretty nice blade with a lot of feel, not too fast and very soft. Has a lot of vibration, but are the needed ones.
  14. What Rubber and Blades Do You Love?

    I haven't tested or tried a lot of blades yet, but the Petr Korbel and Viscaria are definitely my favorites. The Primorac Carbon was my first blade, and I found it too fast. I switched to the Petr Korbel, and finding that it's easier to do everything with it, the ball goes where I want it to go.
