100%. Also... I've got a trumpet, tennis racket, ballet outfit, gymnastics clothes and a guitar for sale.... All used once! 😂

A heated debate on an online forum..... Juicy. Firstly, I just want to state I really enjoy the content from @Heming Hu and Anders Lind. The more English content from very capable players, the better. But.... I thought the video from Anders was a bit.... pointless? He should have specified...

Do we? What qualifies as someone advancing from "beginner to intermediate"? Time? Ability? Dedication? I know plenty of people who have been playing for decades, and they are still rooted in the bottom division of local league. Are they a beginner? Likewise with Intermediate, that covers...

Local leagues are full of this..... It's the only way I've had success over the years! ;)

This is pretty much all you need to hear. Too little info to be able to advise properly. Get yourself a coach if you really want to improve.

I think there is a slight language barrier, or at least an understanding of the terminology used here. Saying it's your professional sport to most of us here sounds like you are VERY good - Too good to be asking relatively basic questions about equipment to a bunch of online players. What it...

The answer to your questions depends in part on your ability. The 3 blades you mention are all incredibly similar. The Ovtcharov ALC, whilst an inner carbon blade, feels MUCH closer to the TB ALC than the Harimoto does. The FZD ALC, TB ALC and O ALC will all feel virtually the same to most...

Hey Land_Killer (good job I'm more of a water man....) Great first post and review. I think reviews from a wide range of players are important in a sport like this, BUT (and this will shock absolutely no one who has been reading this forum for a few years)...... It would be really helpful to...

I'm not - Are you? I typically don't play at weekends (family), but as it is, I'm currently down with severe man flu!

Oh go on then, one more opinion won't hurt. I've been using D05 on the backhand since 2021 (post back surgery and Covid break, I bought a new blade (Ovtcharov ALC) and D05 BH with D09C on FH. Since then, I've virtually won every single major local league singles championship (I know, such a...

I'll drop you a PM shortly to look at some details!

Hello TTD famalam..... Just coming back on this to see if anyone has connections at local clubs in Europe. We are likely to be travelling in early September, so there is still quite a bit of time! There will probably be 4 of us. Does anyone have recommendations for local clubs we could set...

Tell me you've never played UK Local League without telling me you've never played UK Local League 😂 Blimey, those serves would be considered moderately OK in most divisions of the UK scene. Very few players feel comfortable calling out serves - The umpires will almost certainly never do it...

I think more context needs to be seen here. Is this in China? Or somewhere else in the world. I've never seen a 5 year old who could legitimately beat any competent adult - Even an adult with little to no table tennis experience (let alone one who is actually a hobby player at the very least)...

Ah, a topic close to my heart…. “Overpriced” clearly means different things to different people. You can’t be “overpriced” if your performance makes it worthwhile (as some have suggested). I actually think Butterfly is significantly LESS overpriced these days, than they used to be, because...

Pips are the best! Good pips players (and even bad ones) do really well at the amateur level because their opponents often don't know how to deal with it. BUT...... As soon as you can play comfortably against pips (especially long pips), there is just nothing they can do..... Welcome to the...

This is possibly the best (if not *the* best), reply I've ever seen on this forum. Absolutely fantastic - Great to see you posting, Heming!

You can, and I'd argue the same would be true to an extent. I'm not entirely sure of the intent of this thread, but it seems to take the stance that "ej'ing isn't that bad... look at this". Someone ej'ing between attacking MAX reverse rubbers, and then switching to long pips, and then to...

I think it's half way between this, and the "completely different sport" opinion. Can't argue with what you've said - Rules, table, balls etc are all the same. BUT.... The technique required, the equipment and general tactics are wildly different from Table Tennis, which might as well make it...

2000 French rating or the equivalent of 2000 US? Because 2000 US, whilst solid.... Is a LONG way away from national leagues (assuming national means very, very, very good).
