If you want 7 ply wood, pg-7 has vibrations. Snawei f3 pro (inner carbon kevlar) also has far bit of vibrations paired with g1.

Interesting, but how in the heck does that work!? Video would be nice, because I have no idea how they can use a bandsaw to get a perfect cut. Also if they are cutting that many rubbers, maybe a dedicated rubber cutter would be much more efficient?

Yeah, currently only way is to order a chinese robot from chinese site, which may or may not be a trivial task depending on the person. Hopefully more current better chinese options will come to amazon or US based tt equipment distributors eventually, but I doubt this will ever happen.

nice review! I would like to see more of these mid priced, high quality motor+programmable style robots (like this one or tenni-robo) on amazon. The current offerings are waste money cheap crap or the robopong (nice but expensive and not portable). I don't think the tenni-robo design is...

1. This may be a personal problem that is personally frustrating, but this is not unique to TT compared to other highly developed sports, and it is not something that I think affects the popularity of TT. 2. Maybe in some places this is an issue (like the new fangled PingPod in NYC), but in...

Brokenball, I understand that you can be frustrated, but you have to understand, being dismissive helps no one. Rather, try to debate or educate in an calm, friendly, eloquent, and descriptive manner. This is the best way to be persuasive and improve the quality of discussion.

Yes, you can say gears are a subjective, relative, and practical feeling stemming based on COR, although I also said there maybe more factors to consider of the relationship between the two. I agree that the term gear does not completely work if you think of a car or bike and "shifting gears"...

Pickleball is the most physical friendly tennis derivative, but it is still pretty hard on the body, especially the shoulder and ankles/knees once you get to the intermediate level. Table tennis at a similar skill level is much easier on the body comparatively. Of course, the level of physical...

For the backhand, there is still a little bit of body use. You want to squat a little bit (and be bent over a bit of course). During the stroke, you put pressure on your dominant foot (or both feet if that is more comfortable) and push up and forward. Lead the stroke with your body. I have found...

What pickleball has done is that there is there is a pro tour that pays pros to play and have video coverage and commentary. They make money from amateur entry fees and brand sponsorships (pickleball, pickleball health related products, and now some bigger non-pickleball brands like Bubly)...

Actually, a fair amount of young people play pickle, and the pros are starting to shift to mostly 20s people as the sport becomes faster and more aggressive. Nah, you will be playing TT until you die Gozo. In fact, I think older TT players would probably be less inclined to gravitate toward...

Cool beans. Since you played tennis do you play a lot of singles pickleball? I play with some former D1 tennis players in the area and it is always a blast (and more exercise than doubles).

In my experience I think table tennis is as easy as pickleball for a group of friends to pick up and start having fun. Of course, the play will look nothing like "real" table tennis. Table tennis does take alot more skill to get to a "confident with all aspects of the game" level. Table tennis...

> It's funny how some "people" try to re-invent the wheel with "new" sports.As for inventing new sports, its no different than inventing new equipment; to create a different game with different mechanics. Imagine people being content with hard bat table tennis or wooden racquet tennis because...

Lack of spin does not give it a lower barrier of entry, rather inclusion of spin in table tennis gives it a higher barrier of entry. In tennis and tennis style sports, the incoming spin has a small effect on your stroke, and the topspin you put on your shot helps you control the ball more...

The appeal is that it is very easy to learn the technique and strategy and start hitting balls, which translates to having fun. Tennis or table tennis takes a lot longer to learn to actually start having consistently decent rallies and thus having fun. With the current equipment, the slight...

first of all I think that "more known for it gears and accuracy at the fast/high spin level" could use some more detailed discussion. lets try to discuss in good faith. To answer your questions broken ball: 1. what is a gears? a "gear" is terminology for the range of speed a paddle, rubber, or...

Thanks for fleshing out how tangential COR would be found (with drop test I was just thinking of normal COR, but tangential COR can be found too with a moving paddle). Also, thanks for posting the link to the Tiffenbacher paper so it is immediately accessible to the thread. In the experimental...

Okay, do you have any examples of people using strawberries in the past? Maybe video links?

Okay, drop test is standard way to measure COR. Please explain, what is this "normal" AND "horizontal" COR you speak of? That's what's confusing me here. Also as you previously said, COR are the only things that matter, which I don't understand because obviously spin performance and feel both...
