Weird idea with no actual benefits. Train your technique and footwork harder. No shortcuts in table tennis

Ma Long, no question. Zhang Jike could've probably gone even further, to the height no one has ever seen, he was a total abnormality that threw everyone through the window. Unfortunately, he was a candle that burned too bright

I’m selling a limited selection of table tennis rubbers and glues/boosters at competitive prices. These products are well suited for players of various levels — from amateurs to those seeking high performance without overpaying and throwing their bank. All items are brand new, unused, and in...

Y'all probably care more about his rubber choice than Fan Zhendong himself 🤣

This reference for motion seems okay, although the weight on the right leg is evidently not loaded properly — no tension, no concentration of power. Meaning the ceiling of the stroke is low. It would be unwise to make habit of this

The topspin at 5:16 failed because your arm path was too horizontal. The swing needs to be diagonal — from bottom to top. Your elbow drifts away from the body, and at times the motion turns into a scooping action. Keep the elbow tucked in, close to yourself Overall, your forehand topspin...

How are these different/exclusive?

If you are coming from ESN background and never really used Chinese rubbers for prolonged time... If you want hard truth, then Hurricane 3 rubbers were never supposed to be easy. You either put in the work and tame them, or move on. That's the point of the hard sponge and tacky topsheet. You...

Because there is no such thing as an exactly identical blade or rubber. These are mass-produced items, and no factory is going to invest the resources required to achieve true 1:1 precision at this level — the cost would be 2–4× higher and completely unrealistic for retail products. If you...

Personal experience isn’t proof — especially in a test where the uncontrolled variables (QC variance, sponge density differences, topsheet elasticity, humidity, factory inconsistencies) are far larger than 0.05 mm DHS tolerances can vary by ±0.1–0.15 mm on the same labeled thickness. Boosting...

Majority opinion doesn’t automatically equal objective detectability. Lots of players also "feel" their rubber is slower on Tuesdays, significantly tackier after cleaning, or boosted when it isn’t The difference between 2.1 and 2.15 is smaller than factory tolerance and smaller than what...
