  1. What does it mean if I like DHS Hurricane 9 Blue

    It means on the internet people say a lot of dumb stuff with extreme confidence. Consider the possibility that most posters on here have crap technique, and we need $300 of equipment to compensate for that. For example I couldn't play with H9 on my BH, because I have no feeling on BH. That...
  2. WTT 2024 feeder events

    that’s the idea when you start doping, come back stronger
  3. Downgrade blade back to all-wood?

    NL are you using unboosted provincial H3 bc that blade is crazy fast? A week ago I changed to a 5-wood for NL's reason #1. I have medium pips bh, and with acoustic carbon my blocks were not effective. It was a great setup for short pips to smack the ball, but not made for defense. I...
  4. fixing the bad habit of straightening the upper body during looping

    Telling yourself to not do something while you play seldom works. So forget about not straightening up. You have to find a positive statement of what you can do that fixes the problem.
  5. WTT 2024 feeder events

    The next two feeders have Saki Shibata in the qualis. Pity the fool who draws her first round of qualifying.
  6. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    You answered your own question in the OP.

  8. For those who think pips have a ceiling

    Almost none, to answer your question. This post makes sense. If you substitute 'Pips are a constraint on your playing distance.' that's indisputable. If you play SP or LP blocking you must be close, and if you chop you generally have to be far. Double inverted doesn't have this limitation...
  9. For those who think pips have a ceiling

    Pips have a ceiling is a funny way to put it, and not super accurate imo. Kinda dumb to get angry about it tho. There was a time when you could fairly have said double-backside rubbers have a ceiling, when pips-out penhold ruled the earth. Then ITTF changed a bunch of rules. If you look at...
  10. Nittaku New Products 2024

    In the video are they comparing G-revision handle to the normal acoustic handle or the LG? with the wings curved more it kind of looks like the anti-cybershape. You make a hexagon? We will make a perfect circle!
  11. Is my rubber falling apart?

    I had the same thing with Xiom Vega rubbers years ago - they were crumbly. They played nice, just not durable. After that I never used Xiom so I don't know about Omega or any modern series.
  12. For those who think pips have a ceiling

    When Ni was young pips-out penhold was winning world champs and Olympics. There is this guy you may have heard of, Liu Guoliang. She never changed from that style, and why should she?
  13. Should absolute beginners take lessons or just play?

    If you become more serious about table tennis later then you will wish you had taken lessons at the very start. Tony and others said why - habits are easier to make than to break. OTOH, if you never get hooked on TT, or quit entirely, you will have saved money by skipping lessons.
