  1. Lower level player (sub 1400) using ALC + 09C vs more controlled equipment?

    Hi FF, The Curmudgeon Pundit coaching crowd, which I share some partial agreements, frowns strongly upon faster equipment for beginning players. The argument is that one should feel when there is a mis-strike and feel it. A fast ALC and modern fast rubbers makes it hard to discern a mis-strike...

    Outstanding stuff @TheDane

    @NextLevel also always takes responsibility for himself and his faith will deliver his situation I strongly believe.

    @NextLevel never let me down a comment about equipment after an outstanding relative performance made me smile big time.
  5. Viewership numbers

    I am never concerned whether anyone likes or dislikes my opinion there haha, willing and fun to tell to face, it is even better to do so, it is open. I feel the same way as you, maybe even more so.
  6. I am a TPB-only player for now. Out of curiosity, is it easier to do TPB with Cpen or Jpen?

    Double sided J-Pen will NEVER die. Ask Virginia player Wade Sun.
  7. Nexy Fitting Racket Order

    Hi @jk1980 , Oscar has for almost 2 decades made such blades, either OFF or DEF ones with different properties each side of blade, often for the Tibhar brand. He knows how and can get it done.

    Bl, I see the merits of your argument supporting the hook or "shovel" serve and support your opinion. The serve can be difficult to pickup at impact and the basic motion more difficult to read - easier to change the bat and impact to achieve variation. That serve is also easier to hide with...

    Did a Seniors tourney in LA area and overall rate as an outstanding tourney for me and my doubles partner, Sergey-Dont-call-me-Scoobie-Doo. 2 yrs ago in this tourney, there is a decades skilled player C-Pen OX SP (Dr.Evil) both sides player I played last time in singles. Didn't get the result I...

    There is no web superstore doing this. Good stuff.
  11. Nexy Etika review

    Karis is linear... Etika a little dynamic and very good at managing incoming spin on your offensive shots.
  12. How to get the upper hand in bh-bh exchanges?

    @doppelmoral could always go to MyTT forum and ask that no-good BH-Man about this... he is always flapping his mouth off about BH shots, maybe he has an idea.
  13. How to get the upper hand in bh-bh exchanges?

    I am in full agreement with variation and offer another way. BH to BH typically are cross corner the longest distance of table... ESTABLISH a PATTERN... so hit 2 or 3 of same safe med to fast shot... then BREAK that PATTERN. How? Usually it will be with sudden different placement. 2 targets...
  14. Met former Sweden natl player from 1980s/90s name "Peter" today at work

    The only talking I should have been doing is to get him to discuss things on serve and serve receive.
  15. Met former Sweden natl player from 1980s/90s name "Peter" today at work

    Hi Tyce, Very good chance that is him. I did not ask his last name. He said he was from the Falkenberg club.
  16. Met former Sweden natl player from 1980s/90s name "Peter" today at work

    Hi TTD, Der_Echte and his big mouth met a very humble and skilled former Sweden National player named "Peter" near 60 yr old... forvive Der_Echte for not knowing deep enough history of TT. Peter is new to the East Bay San Fran and Freemont TT Academy should be very honored to have him help...
  17. TTD Community Meet Up and Tournament?!

    So I see @latej hit like button and he is similar minded - LOVES to travel and meet other TTers... I do not know what I would say to him or tell him about TT except to hit the local Schnitzel and Pommes Frittes place first with a few Hefeweizen before opening my big mouth. I would need to see...
  18. New BH rubber

    @Fruitlover There are TWO rubbers come IMMEDIATELY to mind. original HAMMOND. That rubber has a VERY soft sponge... VERY easy to block off bounce, VERY easy to counter on the rise, VERY easy to open vs underspin balls. Tibhar AURUS SOFT (or even softer SOUND) So damn easy to get the...

    Hey @Tony's Table Tennis , it is almost time for S-Jan to go one a two month rampage across the forum threads and PMs. It could be worse.
  20. TTD Community Meet Up and Tournament?!

    I didn't say my exact weight, but I was 10-15 kg lighter when @UpSideDownCarl last saw me, so he would have a decent guess of my current weight. Speaking of weight WAIT (pun intended haha) until you feel the WEIGHT of the spin I make with Aurus on the PPP. It will not be so easy for me to...
