  1. TTD Team Spin Challenge With WORLD CHAMPION!

    I have a pixel 6a and might be interested in beta testing this. I have a tripod that goes up to about 60 inches, about 152 cm. Is this tall enough? If my phone and tripod are ok, then all I need is the balls to try this out? How critical is the black shapes on the balls? I could mark up...

    What is the accuracy of the measurements? When it shows spin rate/speed of ball is X, the number is not X, but X +/- Y%. What is Y?
  3. Something stuck on the rubber?

    Wang Hao always had a section of his backhand rubber roughed up under his fingers for better grip, so obviously racket control has been allowing this.
  4. Blade’s weight depending on humidity? How much?

    Oscar, the Nexy designer who posts here once in a while has stated that blades can lose a small amount of weight due to to the wood and glue drying out after manufacture. Your experience is consistent with this. Consumer grade scales usually have a tolerance of +/- 1g. Blade balance is more...
  5. Equipment & tips for new chopper

    When you say chopper do you mean modern defender, or close to the table LP push blocker? I have a goof around chopper setup: Nittaku Endless DEF blade $40 388 D1 0.6 can chop from distance just fine and push block close to the table. Don't attack the ball with LP, you must caress the ball and...

  9. National Games of China 2025, 11/9-21, Guangdong/Hong Kong/Macao

    China Games is not an ITTF sanctioned event. They can have any rules they want. There is some form of racket control because you can see the match officials place the players rackets onto the table. Probably not doing VOC testing. Could have a higher thickness limit for rubber if they choose to...
  10. How to play with a hard ball?

    Are the balls being provided by the club? At the clubs I play at, players bring their own balls. Players who enter tournaments want to train with tournament balls, which vary by event. Tournaments publish which ball they are using in their entry forms. The US Open is next month, which will...
  11. How to play with a hard ball?

    The confusion about the various types of Joola training balls also applies to the balls sold in the US. The same 2 Joola balls from above are sold in the US. But there's more confusion. The Joola Magic training ball costs more than either 3 star ball and has no stars. There's also a Joola Flip...
  12. How to play with a hard ball?

    "3 star training ball" is a meaningless description as these balls are not ittf certified. They can call them whatever they want just like there are "4 star" balls for sale. Life is too short to play with crappy balls unless you are poor and have no other choice. Your sig says you play JM...

  14. Major League Table Tennis (MLTT)

    Maybe someone in marketing wanted spectators to easily see a difference between the men and women. Maybe some of the women asked for it. No sleeves mean that MLTT has not been able to find a logo sponsor for sleeves, because of they did, both men and women would have sleeves with a sponsor...
  15. Pro LP/inverted penholder

    Very dangerous style to play against. He holds the racket under the table during serve receive, sometimes flipping to inverted black side to pivot attack the serve. Nice way to prevent the typical strategy of serving fast long to the pips. His RPB attack also looks pretty solid.

  17. Why is this forum so obsessed with the Japanese women's team?

    In what sports are the dress codes meaningfully different from men versus women? Female tennis players can wear leggings, golfers can wear pants. Maybe you could argue figure skating. Guess why when the Olympics are on TV this sport is aired in prime time. It's not because of men watching. TV...

  20. Major League Table Tennis (MLTT)

    MLTT has low revenue options for video. Youtube streams generated little to no revenue because of low viewership. They had a deal with CBS sports channel to show match highlights. These were shown in filler blocks with shows like cornhole and axe throwing. MLTT most likely pitched CBS to...
