  1. EJ's, How do you decide when to change your rubber?

    For those of you who have many rubbers, how do you decide when to change your rubber? Do you have a system or pattern? This is my system: 1. I put a new rubber on my blade. 2. I test out the rubber unboosted 3. I move to a different blade if I don't quite feel comfortable 4. I test the rubber...

  3. Favorite to win 2024 Olympics?

    Who are you picking to win the 2024 Olympics? If I had to choose, I would pick WCQ, he seems like he is entering his prime and is full of confidence and ability now.
  4. Harimoto forehand

    What is it specifically that makes Harimoto's forehand kinda weak and prone to error? One thing i see is that he hits a very parallel brushy stroke. He doesnt hit through the ball as much. Having said that, he is hardly alone in that regard. Another thing is that his arm is bent through his...
  5. Best way to handle slow, high, spinny opening loop?

    When opponent does a slower spinny loop to your fh, what's the best way to return this? You can block it gently to give a somewhat neutral return. You can sorta punch it like Mima Ito, but this seems risky. You can counter loop it. But i think i dont have the feeling for counter loop yet...

  7. How to play against Flat Fast Attack player

    Today I played a 2000 level fast attack player, let's call him Jerry. His strokes are very fast and flat, think something like Adriana Diaz or Mima Ito. He stands very close to the table and just smashes or punches everything. Supposedly I think Jerry loses to Timmy (the two wing heavy looper)...

    Has anybody tried Yinhe or Sanwei balls? how are they in quality in general? Which one is better...
  9. Changing direction when blocking.

    Today my partner was hitting 5 or 6 consecutive loops into my block. After blocking 3 or 4 loops, I kept trying to change direction by changing the direction the racket is facing. So instead of blocking straight back, block back in a different direction. I noticed a number of times that when...

  12. How to play against Hyper-Aggressive player?

    Today I played against a 2050-2100 USATT hyper-aggressive two-winged looper, lets call him Timmy. I was actually up 2-2, with match points at 10-8. He missed a loop, and that should've been match but he called a let saying something distracted him. So we replayed, and I ended up losing 13-11 or...

  17. Ma Long H3 at TT11

    https://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/dhs-hurricane-3-neo-42-ma-long-forehand-black I just noticed TT11 is now selling Ma Long's 42d forehand rubber H3. I'm surprised it isn't more popular yet. Seems like a really good marketing tactic. I'm surprised we haven't seen more of this type of...
  18. Harimoto loses to balding Grandpa

    Just kidding, he's not really grandpa, but the video quality really makes it seem like he is a grandpa. Anyways, apparently he's ranked 500 on ITTF in 2022, so Harimoto really shouldn't be losing to him. Harimoto's career just seems to be wasting away. I wish he would change something, his...
  19. How is TT11's blade lacquering?

    How well of a job do they lacquer the blades? Does it change the blade properties very much? Or is it just a very thin layer?
  20. Dignics 09c vs DNA Dragon Grip

    A friend lent me a nearly new sheet of D09c, as I was curious how similar it really is to ESN offerings such as DNA dragon grip. DNA dragon grip is probably ESN's most well-known 55degree hybrid offering. So I glued D09c and DG both to the same blade and will test how they compare to each...
