I find using Tearmender as shown in this video the best way to remove old glue and have the sponge be as close as possible to when it was removed from the package

Since Darker has become my blade of choice, I’ve been using Nishohi and Tabletennis11 as they are the two primary distributors for Darker. Taku at Nishohi is a super nice guy and very helpful and attentive. Their prices are somewhat lower even after including shipping. TT11 is the best source...

You live in the US and were able to buy from https://shopee.tw/ ?

I thought the same and bought a pair of Yonex Power Cushion Comfort Z3. Only wore them once. I found the uppers stiff and the midsole hard. Didn’t feel like a comfortable or agile shoe.

I just had the same experience. I wear a size 11.5 and my everyday Hokas in that size fit fine. I’ve been using the discontinued Hoka Evo Carbon Rocket racing flat to play in because of its low stack height. I wanted to get a proper table tennis shoe. Size 11.5 in a table tennis shoe isn’t that...

Thanks driversbeat!🙏 I thought I had gone through the women’s teams but I guess I missed Malaysia. She’s currently ranked 438. Kudos for your keen observation!👏

Penholder enthusiasts likely recognized the top ranked three men’s and three women’s penhold players at Busan: Felix Lebrun, Dang Qui, Wong Chun Ting and Xiaona Shan, Fu Yu, Xia Lian Ni. I was looking at this YouTube video that showed players practicing prior to the start of the competition...

Good to see penholder representation! 👏 And two things especially- Most were Jpeners and everyone including the Cpener played single sided/traditional backhand! ✍️💪

Done

I have used a mild solution of a natural plant based all purpose cleaner and also used rubbing alcohol and water. If your cork isn’t excessively worn, these can help make it look fresh again.

Hoping some others will spot this and maybe chime in with some info

Thanks. I’m happy for the companies that honor and support Jpen!

I’m a single ply hinoki Jpener. I know of no other company that offers as many Jpen blade models- both single and multi ply. Because I feel like Darker honors Jpen and because of their reputation for quality, I’m also a Darker aficionado

I’m getting a sense you’re also a Darker enthusiast
