  1. Starting a club on a budget - Which table would you rather play on?

    I know a club that got a bunch of stag tables at $600 each and they were great
  2. Liang Jingkun signs with LOKI

    Its not unheard of for a company to send the mold to a different company to make a different rubber for a pro. When wang nan went to dhs she never liked the h3 tops so they had 729 make her some Sp with an h3 mold. She already was using a dhs sponge with 729.
  3. What happened to Darker?

    I have a darker center carbon. Used to love provine. Just speculation but id be afraid the original owners were quitting and sold the name for what it was worth to someone who will buy cheaper stuff and use the darker name while it lasts
  4. Idea of a new technique - hitting with your hand

    I learned to serve off the back of my hand when I was a kid. It's very easy. I have been told it's legal since above the wrist. However, there is terminology about this or that rule for intentded hitting surfaces that makes me think it's not. Maybe if I painted it red?

    I like to move into a position as if to kill the ball, then just roll it back.

    Yes, thinner sponges like tackier tops. I think thats what youre saying.
  12. Thinner rubber inherently less spinny than thicker rubbers?

    Thickness of sponge adds topspin to loops but not as much to serves and pushes where youre not sinking the ball anyway
  13. Sponsorship of retired players

    I think if nothing else these guys travel around and do events where they can promote the brands. For example I remember seeing Rossi in Vegas for joola
  14. Rubber protectors, where do you have them while playing?

    Suds is right better not tacky. Wash them early and often till the sticky is mostly or gone. Warm water and soap is super easy Until washed, mine are too sticky to where they can peel off the lettering if stuck together
  15. What are the best scissors to cut rubber?

    I like the conair from Walmart. They have patterns on the handles. Not the Grey handle ones
