We have a team here who call themselves the Cretan Dentists… (all of them playing with pimples) though, without Pana Gionis…

Just a quick update: Gionis is now playing also with Zyre03 on his FH.

Mmmmm, I only partly agree with that. You should include LYJ’s backhand as well. They all have a brilliant backhand from the baseline and use it at the right moments, but also at the wrong moments, in my view. Sometimes I don’t understand why they go all out on their forehand with their...

I always say that table tennis is like chess played at a very high and fast level.

Last Friday, I trained with this new blade for the first time. My initial reaction was: wow! I originally bought this racket to use as a spare, but it’s going to be my main blade from now on. Compared to my current Andro TP_Ligna All, this Andro Novacell Off/s is just a touch harder and just a...

In the meantime, I’ve swapped the rubbers around. The blade has a great weight to it, 80gr. So the red rubber (1.9) weighs 42 gr, and the black one (2.1), 46 gr. Test day tomorrow!

That’s correct, but these are inextricably linked.

S&M isn’t just any online shop; S&M = Andro, Andro = S&M. So I suppose there is some logic to their observations.

However, the S&M (Scholer-Micke) website states that all NUZNs are capable of generating the same amount of spin.

I have played in tournaments and leagues in my home country for years, at both regional and national level. At tournaments, a volunteer is sought or appointed from among all the participants for the first round. After that, the losing side acts as scorekeepers or umpires (without any official...

I’ve no idea how much the blade weighs. I’d asked for the rubbers to be already attached, but I need to swap them around. The red one needs to go on the side with the Andro logo, but that’s no problem – I’ll do it myself. I’ll let you know the weight next week. That 1g difference is because...

😀 I’ve bought a spare racket with new rubbers. 2.1 FH black & 1.9 BH. We’ll see how it goes next week. (Great service from tabletennisstore.eu)

And it’s not just Zyre03, I’ve already mentioned in another thread that I’ve seen top players have this several times when using certain shots with their hard Nuzn (50–55). I’ve experienced it a few times myself with my Nuzn 45. If you don’t hit the ball properly, it flies straight on the table...

Andro products generally always have slim handles.

I still don’t quite get that. LYJ is also a player with a fantastic backhand flick. I find that both he and Coton use their backhand flick far too often (even though it is their strongest weapon). Okay, those guys are of course much more agile than most of us here, but tactically speaking, you...
