  1. If you are the CNT boss, what would you do?

    Get all the barred players into MLTT. Give me Sora in a Florida Crocs uni!
  2. Dignics and its Effect on Sales of Tenergy and Rozena

    The auto-translated video reviews say it is basically a competitor to Glazyer/Rozena lines just from price point and performance.
  3. Dignics and its Effect on Sales of Tenergy and Rozena

    Blastac really rising up quickly. Interested to see if it can stay in the Top 10.
  4. Light shoes for faster footwork?

    About a month ago, I started using my Lems Primal Zen to play and my calves are so much bigger now. The wide toebox really helps me move around and be more conscious of my footwork, so I do recommend trying it out. To avoid some of the heel drop impact, I have orthopedic inserts and I put a...
  5. WTT Contender Zagreb 2026 June 9-14

    FB definitely looked gassed out towards the end of the match. Good showing in this tournament. Idk what rubbers he was using, but that ball was flying off on his BH.
  6. How do you use AI in table tennis?

    Google's AI mode mainly links back to posts from here or Reddit, so it's a decent aggregator in that aspect. If you were to use AI for your own training, this will falter if you follow it explicitly. For performance, i.e. using a camera, wearables, etc., you can use it for coding an app or do...
  7. TT11 Blind Rubber Test

    I was able to try out a Z03 on a Timo Boll ALC and I'd have to hit my forehands from across the country, even when engaging the sponge. I can see for my level using it on a 5-ply blade. It might even be a good pair for pips players.
  8. No umpires in USATT tournaments

    From all of the tournaments I've been to in the US, there's typically a floating umpire. I've seen umpires just come out of a void in space and time and rule on issues in the match, but normally if there's a big dispute, you can call one over and they will watch over the rest of the match. They...
  9. Barefoot shoes

    Stumbled upon this thread while looking for a new pair of minimalist shoes. I was helping someone warm up this week and kept my Lems Primal Zen on and realized that my footwork was significantly better in these shoes than my Wave Medal 8s. I was able to feel when I was transferring my power from...
  10. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    Pretty rough loss, but a good experience overall for the team. Most of the squad is under 20, so it's good that they are getting more international matches. They had a really nice bracket draw.

    Started testing out Tenergy 64 since it'll be a bit before I do tournaments again. It's really fun on the FH side and I'm trying to get used to it on the BH. Nuzn 50 has been really solid on my BH, so I like the option of using both on either side. Working on technique and physical therapy to...
  12. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    She did look slow here, but it was also a push battle lol. Surprising tactics by her opponent to hardly go to the backhand after the 2nd game, since Lily was showing some hesitation on the pivot forehand. 75% of the pushes were middle to the forehand and even then Lily was really lifting that...

    USA Women's potential Top 8???
  14. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    The format is funny cause you have a designated carry in two matches (2 and 4), then hope you have a good matchup to get the third win. 62 year old Granny Ni is the carry for Luxemborg and is 50% of the way to filling that role.
  15. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Some days I'm debating switching to long pips because of mobility issues going from right to left due to reoccurring issues with lateral pelvic shift, which is hurting my timing to get to my backhand strokes. Working with a PT for the past few months and decreasing my time playing. Everything...
