  1. 2100-2300 usatt player: Help to find new blade

    People in your category wanting this tend to like inner carbon blades. Try a few out... chances are many players around you use one of them.
  2. How to play against good close to the table players?

    Already said... but variation of everything... surprise placement and consistency. No crazy cowboy stuff, be a merchant of rope and sell that dude enough rope to hang himself.
  3. How to play against good close to the table players?

    If your attacks are not yielding winning results right away, do not give up, find another way. make them be inconsistent, force them to attack where you are ready. Make them wild, find a way to vary things and keep mixing it up... This way drives higher level player CRAZY if they cannot figure...
  4. In-depth look at Tibhar equipment. Any feedback you'd like to share?

    Why does Butterfly do so much marketing for all their rubbers and why do so many people are in luv with them? How much marketing does Tibhar do for Aurus? I bet I do more marketing for them than they did for the last 15 years it has been on the market. People OUGHT to be objective and use...
  5. Ukrainian National Table Tennis Championships-2026 (17 - 21 March 2026)

    Literally 1/3 of my TT friends here in No. Cal are Ukrainian, they are always rooting for home talent.
  6. FH loop - do I brush on the top or side?

    Gotta echo what Dr Evil and Lula are saying... Important to be able to do both when you want and how you want. Seeing what happened at opponent impact (and deciding immediately what you want to do about it) and getting to position with leverage are skill number 1 and 2 in TT IMO. Against...
  7. In-depth look at Tibhar equipment. Any feedback you'd like to share?

    There is not such a versatile rubber on the market like Aurus... topsheet so supple and easy to wrap the ball without massive bat speed, but also rewards big time fast bat speed. Rubber lasts for HUNDREDS of hours. Not terrible spin reactive, performance does not degrade... decently linear...
  8. An uncommonly discussed shot: The no-spin push

    The no-spin push is a GREAT shot to do if... - You can do it suddenly and disguise it well... - You can have a very heavy underspin push... so that when you go to light or no spin, that there is a huge variation of spin - that you can place it well... or it just doesn't matter so long as you...
  9. What is the meaning of CONTROL in a game?

    I define control in Table tennis as the degree of how easy it is to do something... This can be interpolated to higher percentage (over some other alternative approach) Another way to express control is the degree that one is able to do what one wants to do to the ball and land it (with easy...
  10. What should i do?

    Igor is making sense with post, the March 2024 ITTF FAQ in the Docs section of their website that clarifies so much to umpires has pics of acceptable and unacceptable damage.
  11. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Maybe in a week or @dingyibvs will be getting Der_Echte to reach the impossible to get dingyibvs shots back... or not. We gotta try out his spinsight, the forum is wondering how spinless I can play.
  12. My Butterfly Dignics 09C Review: Why I think that most amateur players should avoid it

    If it is anything... I have always been consistent in saying that I was or never am good enough to use T05, D05, 09C, Glyzer... they all are for loop drivers or counter hitter or hitter... which I am not and my current equipment does that task(s) just fine and is superior by far in opening...
  13. My Butterfly Dignics 09C Review: Why I think that most amateur players should avoid it

    To go contrarian to the OP @victormanriquey says about 09C... Many professionally trained children players use such a rubber... and with this new gen of ABS ball, it is so easy to hit through pin than previous gen ABS or Cell ball... so kids now are training to flip spin serves... then counter...
  14. 🌎 🇩🇪 TTD Forum Meet Up in Düsseldorf - September 11th, 12th & 13th 🇩🇪 🌎

    Der_Echte obviously would crave such a meetup, but zero chance getting off work in that timeframe sorry. :(

    @NextLevel is a Rambo Looper all the way.
  16. My Butterfly Dignics 09C Review: Why I think that most amateur players should avoid it

    Hi @victormanriquey I would generally agree with the assessment that it is much more difficult to get the ball into topsheet and sponge than many rubbers with similar overall sponge hardness. I would agree that the very thing he mentioned (hard topsheet) makes it more more difficult to use...
  17. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Having said that, after I play 6 months or more with a slower blade, I can pick up faster blade with same rubbers and do just as well or even more destructive... it is like the blade trained me better with what i was already doing. So, I can understand some back and forth. My current blade in...
  18. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Hi Tyce... I am around a lot of adult learners who like the fun of banging the ball with very fast ALC or straight carbon blades... and that blade will make it easy to do that shot... but ultimately, the player is not doing that shot 100% of the time... or even 50% or even 20%... the middle...

    NL could be seriously deadly with 98% of the equipment he falls in love with.
