  1. Elbow Pain

    I've played through an injury before, and it did not end well. It resulted in a partial muscle tear, and recovery took half a year. I should have just rested 3 to 4 weeks instead. Lesson learned.
  2. would a Ryu Seung Min survive in today's table tennis?

    RSM would be world top 10 in today's game. He may not beat ML, but thats not a jpen issue. It's an ML issue. Good luck to anyone trying to beat him. He is just too good
  3. Strong Mind in the Match

    I just focus on the next point. Go back to what I learned and make sure I do all the basic things. Keep it simple and not worry about the score.
  4. Want to try cheap chinese/euro rubber on forehand

    I have a Fextra blade and use it with the MechTek Predator. It's a great combination. Highly recommended
  5. Avalox Blue Thunder BT555

    I use the BT555 currently. It's light and very balanced (as balanced as I've ever experienced personally). There is some vibration, but I wouldn't say it feels hollow (though it doesn't feel crisp like a 7 ply). Speed is Off-. Slower than stratus powerwood/nittaku acoustic is probably the best...
  6. Match Against a KOR High School Girl

    In the comment it says you are injured? are you playing hurt?
  7. Playing on work tables (need help with adjustments)

    at times i feel like the little kid at the supper table without a booster seat! :P but i get what you mean. i will lean forward even more with purpose! yes :D would you have recommendations? LP's? :cool:
  8. Playing on work tables (need help with adjustments)

    Our work tables are not the best quality, or in the best condition, but we make do with what we have. Unfortunately, though, it feels like a very different game between when I play at work vs the club. The main problem I find is with the bounce. The lower bounce gives me issues when trying basic...
  9. Joo Se Hyuk goofing off with amateur TT Player promoting Nexy

    There's no formal rule. People use whatever sounds right to them. There will always be a popular format though. Like 'ae' will be more common than just 'e', especially since other consonants match better with the same pronunciation, like 'bae' vs 'be', 'tae' vs 'te', etc. But it's never a hard...
  10. Joo Se Hyuk goofing off with amateur TT Player promoting Nexy

    This is a great vid. It equates TT with happiness and community. Makes me want to go to Korea. it's been a decade... :(
  11. Why do you like Table Tennis???

    It is fun and ages well. Other sports are harder to play past 60 :D
  12. What is the average break in period

    It's not a break in period. It's a get used to it period. People think rubbers break in, but it is you who breaks in. Once you get used to it you, are broken in :p
  13. Rubber Comparison

    I find the r7 soft slightly springier than vega euro, but otherwise play very similarly. You can play it on either wing. Get one of each, and decide on one when you refresh.
  14. Wierd vibrations in new racket

    Never used speed glue, so cannot talk on that, but the tackiness usually wears off as dust gets on the paddle. You need to wipe it off every now and then to get some of the tackiness back. I also wipe it clean with water after use and put a sheet protector on it so dust doesn't settle on top...
  15. Xiom Vega Tour Review

    It was measured in a lab by one of neon's friends, so they reflect a specific sheet of rubber. It's a sample meant to give an idea of how they measure up (literally). I'm not a domain expert in pimple geometry/tech, so I will just bow out :)
