Started playing it just 2 months ago with the goal of helping me train and prepare for tournaments. I can't say enough about it, as it has exceeded all of my expectations.

Hey! A fellow vegan. :-D
Well, actually I’m just 12% vegan, but still...
Good strategy. If the new rubber helps, you can celebrate with a nice glass of wine. If it doesn’t help, you can console yourself with one or more glasses...
There is one other aspect to the whole EJ experience that I don't think has been addressed in this discussion: It's a lot of fun to try different equipment! The great majority of us here play TT...
I too changed to ST as I found that it is much easier to twiddle with than FL. Prior to this year I also always used overgrips as my hand sweats a lot. My coach encouraged me to try without the...
I did put in a disclaimer that it was false information, so there is that... haha
I fully support the dispersion of bad or false advice on playing against pips. :-D
In fact, I’m happy to start it off:
Long pips players hate when you push heavy under spin to their long pips,...
I come from a Tennis and Badminton background, and I can tell you with certainty, TT equipment is much more diverse regarding speed, spin etc. then any other racket sport. Yes there are many...
That's great news, because presently it's a little head heavy. Was it difficult to make the conversion? I'm a little useless when it comes to modifying things... :-D
I don't know of any other sport where the equipment you use has a greater impact on how you play, for better or worse. For example, if your setup is too fast, it can hurt your development, technique...
Thread Suppression
Speaking on behalf of all long pips players, we would prefer this thread on how to beat us stay buried, and not be revived.
Thank you for your understanding. :-D
I would think yes, because you can customize where the blade (hitting surface) is in relation to the controller.
I only started playing with the settings last night, so I still need to tweak them, but this is what I have so far:
Bounciness - 59
Spin - 70 (Completely off)
Throw Coefficient - .75
I've only...
I personally believe we need a support group for recovering EJ's.
When you have settled for the foreseeable future on a specific blade and rubber, it feels like there is a big void in your TT...
Now I'm really jealous. haha We are lucky here if we get a slice of pizza, not that you'd want to eat it when competing. I've been to tournaments where they don't even have water for the...
I told my wife I was jealous. I sweat so bad, I'd love to play in a gym that cold. :-D
I watched some of the other videos from the same Youtube channel that posted this one, and saw something a little curious in one of them. Below is the link. Why are all the spectators wearing their...
Ok, just played with the paddle adaptor for the first time and it is a game changer. Makes the game even more realistic. In real TT, I play long pips on one side and inverted on the other. With...
It was actually Kevin that suggested the Port Orford Cedar, and made the 2 blades for me. We played in the same club. Weight wise they came in at 110g. To get them to that weight, he shaved them...
hahaha. Definitely my kind of people!!! I actually looked up 'apeshyt" in google translate thinking it was a Korean word. Then I read it phonetically, and almost spit out my water! Too funny.
Thanks for the in-depth explanation. Very helpful and interesting. I have one blade making question.
I wanted to have custom built 2 1-ply blades that would have similar playing characteristics...
Got my paddle today, and can't wait to try it with the game. @carrotstien , you have done an amazing job creating this game! Very well done. I would highly recommend it to everyone. Can't wait to...
So based on this, would that not mean that a 1-ply should have the smallest sweetspot?
If you slap your 1-ply on your leg, there’s a 50/50 chance you’re going to break it. It would be rare for a multi-ply blade to break this way.
I use this example because that is exactly what...
I agree wholeheartedly with everything you say here. Before making a big investment, it’s nice to know the potential risks...
