  1. Migrating from VS401 to something else

    Well, I don't remove and re-glue the rubber, so it should be fine. For the G1, he asked me to use it on BH, but it's good to have some extra advices. Basically he loves disturbing his opponents' game, but he is afraid of BH topspin during complicated matches, when he knows how to do it at...
  2. Migrating from VS401 to something else

    Thank you! The kid has a tendency to hit the table with his blade (not on purpose). Do you think the sponge can survive 6 months? I change the rubbers twice a year
  3. Migrating from VS401 to something else

    The problem is, it's too heavy, he is only 12 and I'm afraid he could hurt himself Edit: also, he is a spoil brat ( 🤣 ). He wants to change this summer, he will keep his blade and FH rubber
  4. Migrating from VS401 to something else

    rapier 42 custom blade (he loves it)
  5. Migrating from VS401 to something else

    Hi all, Until a few months ago, my kid wanted to play modern defense, and was using the VS401 (1.5) to chop. But now that he is able to perform backhand topspin attacks, and is pretty amused by this, he would like to change his backhand rubber to a more offensive one. He still wants to be a...
  6. Beginner: transition to BH pips or anti

    So I tried with my kid test blade, and played against a low level kid. It was a different feeling, enjoyable. Meanwhile, I'm starting to do BH banana flick on service receive. It works ~20-30% of the time (better than 0%, last summer). No BH top spin, or it is rare, and I assume with very low...
  7. Felix Lebrun Serves

    I assume, for you 'legal' means 'not hidden'? In comparaison to WCQ, Jorgic and so on? Because if I remember well, some of his throw angles were not that great ( as his brother). For the number of services (including variation), I heard more than 200.

    Tbh, dude, that type of comment tells much more about you, than about a top player.
  9. Who has had their best match experience after having the best WOOOHOOO with their baby?

    The level of my female hormones has a clear impact on my game type. I think I have globally a better engagement to perform and to dominate, since my doctor made me stop the birth pill. We are animals, after all (not said in a wrong way).
  10. Is it okay to let anger out?

    It's ok to be angry. You have to 'manage' your anger, so you will not hurt anybody, including yourself. And it should not disturb the match. You may even learn to use it in a positive way! Observe how some top players are dealing with it (Darko Jorgic, for exemple). Don't give up, table tennis...

  12. I'm being bullied at my club.

    There are toxic people everywhere. Just ignore them. It's not your problem if their rubbers are illegal. They won't be able to compete in official tournament. Not a big deal. Take it as an opportunity to train in high pressure environnement (mental training), and with harder opponents. It's...
  13. Beginner: transition to BH pips or anti

    @sebi : for sure, when you train enough, you can do many things. My problem is, I have limited time for training, and very low wrist flexibility. I guess, it is always the same debate: do we need to fix our weakness, or do we need to improve our qualities? One year earlier, I asked here what...
  14. Beginner: transition to BH pips or anti

    Many thanks for your advice! My playing style is similar to the red t-shirt guy in the video. In beginner mode, of course... and I greatly need to improve my footwork 😂 With the kid at home, already playing table tennis, I can test for free two setup: - one défensive blade (large) Thibar...
  15. Beginner: transition to BH pips or anti

    Hi all, I started playing table tennis last year, following my kid who started 7 years ago. I'm 45, and I'm not talented -not a big deal, pleasure comes first. Anyway, I have a good FH for a beginner (can perfom top spin, and even start on long backspin sometimes), and I'm not able to perform...
  16. WTT Champions Montpellier 2025, 10/28-11/2

    Until recently (aka, before Felix and Alexis), table tennis was not attracting that much attention in France. So, they didn't need to learn. On my side, I enjoy this medias candor. In opposition to, for exemple, soccer.

    I say, it would help if LSS was more proficient at the English language... Players are allowed to communicate with the umpires. Anyway, well done LSS!
  18. WTT Champions Montpellier 2025, 10/28-11/2

    Incredible match from Khanak! Well done! Especially, with most of the local crowd for Hugo.
  19. WTT Champions Montpellier 2025, 10/28-11/2

    Well well well... It seems like, the top Chinese didn't participate, because they were anticipating their defeat? They sent the next ones in rank to the butcher's? @zeio : you need to retire them all!

    Well, Samara's career was supposed to be done, so it doesn't really matter.
