That's basically the perfect case study for the point I was trying to make in the video. I suspect this might happen more often than we might think. Thanks for sharing your story.

Video is 3:20 long. I got an opportunity to test out a couple of Sanwei blades here. The Tiger Claw HP4 & HP5. The focus of the video is around the idea of getting kids into penhold & teaching them working around the setback of often having too small of hands. Check out the video for more on...

I used to twiddle way back in the day. I don't do it anymore as I think for me, and it'd be my guess for most people, you're better off not doing it. So here's a video I made on it back in the day and I'll talk about it's shortfalls after that. Currently I just play inverted on the FH & BH...

A cool video. I hope everybody watched it to the end. I've seen some replies that make me think they didn't. You see the growth & perspective this person goes through. His outlook at the end certainly seems more mature & healthier than from the start. And that's good. He's only 20. He should...

Oh gosh i still have it but it's currently not a blade. I don't even play short pips anymore. My daughter plays penhold SP on her FH. Inverted on the RPB. She currently plays with black METEOR 575 on her FH. And the only reason for that was to follow the 2 color rule as her inverted was already...

Thanks for the heads up. I'm really trying to decide. It was sent to me to test out so I can't really verify on price or find the different price offerings based on a short search here. Mine looks more shiny like what you have in the 2nd picture there but the pattern of this block design is...

I had a chance to test out Sanwei Target National & Target National Gordanga on my Eagle Beak Penhold. I liked the paring of Target National on my FH and I put the slightly softer sponged Gordanga on my BH. Black Target National: Red Target National Gordanga | Marked medium-soft on the...

They're the same type of spin. Me personally I find I can get more spin on my reverse pendulum serve. I find hiding the serve easier with the hook serve and I find the no-spin version of the serve easier to disguise. I think it's handy to be able to do both. You never know when you run into...

So I recently reviewed the Sanwei Eagle Beak and their take on this approach I can say I like having (Jpens do this well) a thin or little to no thickness on the paddle that rests on the webbing between your index finger & thumb. The thicker that is (like on many Cpens), the more the paddle is...

Video is: 7:25 long. Includes close up shots of the blade itself and myself playing with it on club night. YS6 | 7 ply blade. 5 wood, 2 PBO(ZLC) Inner carbon 5.9mm thick. 96 grams in weight. I have the left handed version. These style of blades have left or right handed specific versions...

How would people here who don't know him personally possibly know that? IDK. This thread just feels a little weird to me. There's info out there one can google. Past that what can we do? I suppose if someone knows him personally and they feel inclined to message the OP they can but I just...

People like this guy still playing at 91 are my heroes. I have a buddy who played soccer in college. He loves the game. He's my age now in being mid 40s. Yeah he hasn't played soccer in probably 5 or so years. Too many injuries and too athletic based to really play as you get older. Sad to me...

Yeah I had to look it up. It's suppose to somehow keep the grip from rotating in your hand? IDK about that. To me it seems completely useless. Shakehand blades don't have this. I can feel it when I'm holding the paddle. If I stick with this long-term, I'm quite tempted to Dremel sand it off...

video is 8:54 long. This is part 2. I posted my initial thoughts in a post in part 1 here: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/sanwei-q10-c-pistol-grip-impressions-why-im-doing-this-part-1.39232/

Standard backhand. Much like shakehand. Think of this as a shakehand blade with the head of the blade already down. I posted my initial impressions in part 1 here. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/sanwei-q10-c-pistol-grip-impressions-why-im-doing-this-part-1.39232/ I just...
