  1. I know it doesnt seem to fit the trend of this chat, but can we take a moment to appreciate Joo Sae Hyuk?

    Saw a fairly recent match between JSH and Schlager on YouTube. To watch both players so obviously enjoying it was great.
  2. Throw angle is not a rubber property!

    Psst @Tyce next thread: slipping is not a property of a rubber 😉.
  3. What makes more difference - rubbers or blades

    If you change the question slightly, is the original question easier to answer? Is it harder to find the right blade or the right rubber? Which search have you invested more in? Speaking for myself, it has been harder to find a blade that I am happy with than finding a rubber that I am happy...
  4. Chinese fans laughing at Hashimoto's service error during her match today

    Could be worse, could be like USA Ryder Cup "golf fans" (ducks for cover)
  5. I want opinions on my chances of pro

    The OP stated question is VERY specific. As some have pointed out, there are many unforeseeable achievements that are worthwhile, or even fantastic. Here is one such example, Lavajac, ranked 397 in the world. Enjoy.
  6. Damien Éloi: Are the top players’ rubbers different?

    Only elite professionals have such finely tuned senses. Where have I heard this story before?
  7. Can anyone talk me either into buying this or leave it alone

    Hi @lodro I have owned a number of Hinoki blades, some all-wood (5 and 7 ply Kiso), some fast carbon (Gergely and TCore Kiso-carbon), slower carbon (Rossi Emotion), and most recently an Andro TP_Ligna CO Off (Italian 'Hinoki' in quotes). I enjoyed all of those blades, however the Andro is the...
  8. EJ dust spraying is killing off valuable TT forum contributors

    Hi @Der_Echte Newbie player here. What kind of STD should I get ;) LLS
  9. First attempt with new blade

    Meant to buy s-cz on sale last week, but they ran out straight away so I now have Andro tp-ligna CO on order. What made you go for the Long 7? (Other than as explained above)
  10. Will my Blade brake?

    Peter "I was just putting it back in my bag" Sereda ;)
  11. Let Detector

    Every time I see this title 'Let Detector', my brain reads 'Lie Detector', and I think its another @igorponger post about catching booster cheats ;)
  12. Tibhar Shang Kun Hybrid AC Blade

    Hi @Crillo I have a TSK AC blade. It is as new condition (only used for a couple of weeks as it did not suit me). It weighs ~88g. Let me know if you're interested. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/post-your-latest-ej-purchase.30602/page-41#post-452671
  13. Receive short topspin or dead ball ?

    Yeah, those 'nothing serves' can be annoying. Usually I tried to end the point with a decisive blow, however more often than not ended up hitting the ball off the end of the table. So recently I short push and get ready to backhand flick. Worst case is I end up in a neutral position when...
