Hey Kaveern, OK, so the good points. "Table Tennis T Shirt" - That adds at least +5 to your topspin. A really solid "CHOLAY", the pro's would be proud. Clearly have the ability on the forehand loop/drive to play well. However.... I think you've fallen into the trap that many others have...

COOOOOO Gozo..... I don't like rebound boards when it comes to commenting on the play - As you've said yourself, you have to change things slightly to account for the board. But I see some nice improvements! Your serves show you have a much better flow with your wrist, and this is often a big...

I think it depends how much you can make (profit) from the sale. I can’t imagine it would be THAT much surely? So if it were me, I’d use it as an opportunity to try D05 the next time you change rubbers. I’m 50/50 on if I think you’ll like it. For most people I’ve played with, it’s not...

Better value? That's difficult because I think they both last a similar amount of time, and D05 is more expensive than T05.... But for me, D05 is an upgrade to T05 in every possible way. You can get more spin despite the arc not being as high (which is much more deceptive to opponents). It's...

I'm going to defend @hipnotic here (I have no bias either way). I understand what you are saying about giving credit, and I would agree with you in most situations. But custom table tennis blades? That's a hard one because the reality is..... There is only so much you can do? Just look at...

I used a Joole Flash ball for the first time this week and it was a really nice ball. I typically use the Sanwei HD (the Blue ones), and didn't feel any difference with the Joola Flash. Would absolutely recommend them.

Hey French, I know you’ve read my previous review, so I’ll try not to repeat myself. Do I think there is enough of a difference to justify the OALC vs the TBALC or Viscaria? No, absolutely not. If you already use the TBALC, the OALC will not provide much of a different feel. However...

I think the "Ugly" terminology is getting a little lost in translation here. Let's use Ma Long as an example. Ma Long might be having a really off day with his attacking game - Loops are missing, footwork isn't quite there and he's just not dialled in. Plan B might be to keep really steady...

I (almost) feel sorry for the Spanish boss. This is said with zero knowledge of him as a person (so if he's a genuine piece of trash, then fair enough), but it feels a little like the kiss is an excuse to go after him for other reasons. Yes, you have to be pretty bloody stupid to do what he...

Yeah, MK does Women only days and they seem popular - It's good to get more people from all backgrounds into it! I'm surprised they haven't deleted the video - It's such a pointless 40 seconds.

To add to this.... If a random YT account had posted the video, there would be no issue. There are plenty of videos from random accounts designed to get views by posting provocative thumbnails and titles. But for an apparent "Official" account which is designed to promote Table Tennis to...

You'll always see players get to that level though, which doesn't really give a clear picture of the sport as a whole. How does it feel locally? Certainly in the UK, the numbers are struggling. Lack of facilities, lack of coaching, lack of interest, lack of money..... Leagues have gone from...

Grown men: "I don't understand why table tennis is a dying sport and why more women or Juniors don't play it" Official European YouTube Account....... Hold my Beer...... "HOT professional table tennis player doing her job" I know we've discussed this before, and the "culture" divide really is...

As hypocritical as this is (because I think you’ve pretty much got all sides of the arguments covered with the different responses, and I don’t think much more can be added), I’m going to wade in with my opinion as well 😂 Firstly, there is no “wrong” answer here. All of the answers you’ve been...

It’s not that I like stats. I’m relatively indifferent towards them in the GOAT argument. At the same time, you can’t simply dismiss them altogether. There may be caveats (longevity or play, competition in era, rule changes etc) that will impact the stats, but they will play a certain part in...

I agree - But I also find that people who don’t use statistics (especially when the stats go against their argument), will often come up with hypothetical scenarios and “gut feeling”. For what it’s worth, I sit in the middle, and I know I’m biased. For me, Federer is the greatest there has...

Ah, but you are now dipping into the pure love of Sampras, rather than any tangible argument (don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the GOAT argument in any sport has plenty of this!) Regarding the first part of your comment, I would argue that the availability and change to the equipment makes it...

Ooooo juicy...... This is now entirely off topic, so if @UpSideDownCarl wanted to syphon it off into its own topic.... Feel free. I feel people who would argue for Sampras as the greatest ever are those who have been biased by the fact they grew up with him dominating the sport. I personally...

Yeah I get that, but there will always be reasons/caveats for why/why not certain players are argued amongst "greatest ever". I also think "greatest ever" and "greatest of their era" are very different things. Take Tennis..... In 100 years, the argument could conceivably be..... Was Djokovic...

This has been answered already, so I don't want to repeat too much. But from my POV, using *legal* equipment that is available to everyone at the time is absolutely fair. You could comfortably argue that the H3 the Chinese are using is more *unfair* and gives them an unfair advantage. This...
