  1. Butterfly Zyre 03

    My clubmate who's one of the better players in the top local league division has switched from D05 FH/BH to Zyre03 FH/BH about 3 weeks ago. He's a two-winged looper. 3 practice sessions and a tournament after, he says it's bit harder to use at the table/in short game due to the rubber being...
  2. Why don't the top chinese players play in star contenders anymore?

    ML and FZD have retired moons ago, lol.
  3. WTT London Star Contender - October 2025

    The draw is fine. My youtube channel will finally receive a badly needed injection of top player content, yay. Hoping to grab a seat right between the training hall and the main area and record both again, just like I did at the 2018 ITTF Team World Cup.
  4. 50 degrees Hybrid comparisons (DNA hybrid H vs Bluestar A2 vs. Rising Dragon 2 vs. Golden Tango PS)

    I cannot seem to stop EJing on my BH :), and have been using DNA Hybrid H on my BH for over a month now. Definitely not sticky in any sense. But would not call it a "worse" Tibhar Hybrid MK Pro. IMO, Tibhar Hybrid MK, Andro Nuzn and Stiga DNA Hybrid series are basically same thing, the only...
  5. Tips against long pips

    "How Long Pips Really Work" by Greg Letts This forum should have a rule that one shouldn't ask a question about how long pips or antispin rubbers work without reading Greg's excellent articles.;)
  6. Best (simplest to use) editing software for table tennis matches?

    If you're not afraid of command line, all this becomes quite trivial with MP4Box or ffmpeg: # extract video segment from one timestamp to another (timestamp format hh:mm:ss): MP4Box -splitf 0:15-5:27 a.mp4 The above command will produce a_T05.15_T5.27.mp4 video containing video segment from...
  7. Is Vsport.es a legitimate company, I want to buy from them but dont live in Spain?

    Vsport-tt.com is great, bought from them many times. Great prices and quick delivery to UK mainland.
  8. Best (simplest to use) editing software for table tennis matches?

    My bad :oops:. bp.ai was (at least initially) trained on Barnet local league matches from my YT channel which mostly took place on quiet late Thursday evenings at the BTTC.
  9. Revenge of the Hobby Player!

    Just to be clear, my original post was meant in jest. It seemed obvious he held off using full power on his FH loops, and didn't want to rely on serves that gave his opponent troubles. Basically, he was a great sport.
  10. Revenge of the Hobby Player!

    Looks like she found Aruna's Achilles heel! :-)
  11. Truls using new stuff from Stiga in Yokohama

    Lol, according Stiga's own website, Helix55 speed/spin/control ratings are 178/142/55 while Dragon Power 55's are 162/146/55. So Helix is faster, less spinny and yet offers same control ...¯\_(ツ)\_/¯
  12. Why so much hate against boosters?

    Of course it is a minority issue since only a minority of all players play tournaments. But if you do play tournaments regularly and have a habit of always checking your opponent's bat before playing them, you'd see signs of boosting more often than one would expect. Funnily enough, the mx-p...
  13. How to deal with high risk strategies

    If he is more comfortable than you at the pushing game and smashes your opening loops, then there wasn't any switch to "high-risk high-reward" strategy. From his point of view, he found your weakness and exploited it. Work on your opening loops and try to land them as deep and as low as...
  14. Europe Smash Sweden August 14-24 2025

    Adrian Rassenfosse v Liam Pitchford - 3:0. Wow.
  15. TESTING ZHANG JIKE'S TABLE TENNIS BAT!

    I want to try whatever the Dane was using when he went 9:7 against ZJK and made his opponent sweat like an over-40 player 🤣
  16. TESTING ZHANG JIKE'S TABLE TENNIS BAT!

    Dan has lost the last semblance of credibility as a TT equipment reviewer. Claiming that a 50 degree esn rubber is suitable for "those who are still learning the strokes"... come on.
  17. "This rubber is not correct!"

    From the video description: Tibhar Grass D.TecS Acid Green OX
  18. "This rubber is not correct!"

    Never saw a pro player fall apart like this against LPs. It's like watching a local league match. P.S.: Reaction of a clubmate who uses LPs: "I only play for moments like this..."
