  1. low-cut basketball shoes for table tennis?

    That’s not correct…shoes are specifically designed for different aspects of performance…laterally stable depends on support of the shoes. How wide a base is, how supportive the material is, how good the lockdown is, is the heel locked in? Does it fit properly? A thin layer of foam on a narrow...
  2. low-cut basketball shoes for table tennis?

    Well said Id also add that most basketball shoes, except some Nikes for whatever reason also have shanks in them to prevent too much mid foot flex Right now my court shoe is puma Clyde all pro, it’s a few years old but super minimal and I have no reason to think it wouldn’t be a solid tt shoe...
  3. low-cut basketball shoes for table tennis?

    I couldn’t disagree more, not only do basketball shoes have many different types of tech for cushioning, basketball is also played on rubber floors Also basketball shoes are made to be stable, with the movement patterns and torque put on ankles and knees, they have to be
  4. low-cut basketball shoes for table tennis?

    I would doubt that it was due to the shoes Basketball shoes have wide bases and outriggers to prevent rolling…unless the shoe didn’t fit properly
  5. low-cut basketball shoes for table tennis?

  11. Rate my budget build

    I don’t want to fall into placebo…the shots felt slower but more control…the one thing I noticed was much more spin, any side spin shot looked like a total hook and I handcuffed my opponent a few times or when the ball would hit the ground or net it was almost buzzing because of the spin that...
  12. Rate my budget build

    So I just completed my first rubber replacement. the cut isn't the "cleanest", bought some "sharp" scissors but I think the method will be to use one of the roller blades they use for tailoring. Anyway, I put rubbers on my Gambler Wingwood first, in case I messed up instead of the new blade...

    It’s been awhile but when I had my nanos, the toe box was actually pretty wide I have toe spacers for bunion but I don’t wear them while doing athletic activities and mostly during the week Right now I’m loving the adidas Don issue 4 for wider forefoot but I use them for basketball and not...
