  1. Boycotting China

    Well, it is a huge win for us and table tennis. Now let's move on and create some fun thread to show off our rackets as a symbolism of unity 🤝
  2. Boycotting China

    Mission complete. Target has been banned.😉
  3. How do you learn to sidestep properly?

    https://youtu.be/l6jexH2csJY Check that out. Good info on how your feet should move right after a serve. Yes, it is true. Hence the X distance I mentioned is crucial. You may or may not realize it, but human body moves fractionally faster when going forward than backward, one of the simple...
  4. Boycotting China

    Maybe we should make a new poll instead: should jddavid be banned from posting? 😆
  5. Chinese IRL viewerbots?

    Because women scream better than men? LOL (trying my best to not sound so wrong here) I mean, imagine if those girls at WTT Macao for example, are replaced by men our age. The screams will sound creepy af.🙄
  6. What is the best table tennis brand ?

    Super old thread but since it popped up, I'll drop my piece anyway - as a player with mild EJ symptoms. Butterfly is highest, in terms of quality and price, no questions. Deep-pocketers + ambitious enthusiasts should always aim to purchase this brand regardless of skill level; I knew an uncle...
  7. Wood blades

    YSE is a VERY GOOD blade, bang for the buck. I was debating with myself to get that before settling on Yasaka Falck W7. The W7 is a versatile powerhouse while still maintaining a fairly flexy control that goes well with tensors, tacky rubbers, short pips. If you are strong-armed, you can attach...
  8. How do you learn to sidestep properly?

    If by "end position" means the position where you 'arrived' after side-stepping (to prepare for the FH topspin), then it could possibly mean you are not at an optimal hitting space; i.e. distance between the incoming ball and you is either too close or too far - which I suspect the former to be...
  9. Looking for my next bh rubber

    Seeing Victas being mentioned around, try TSP Super Ventus. It's a do-it-all rubber that fits BH and FH. Lively sponge, not much sensitive to spin. I'm using it on my current setup (on BH). The only thing that might throw you off is the PINK sponge, but hey, you might like it, we never know.😀
  10. Gender clash piff-paff

    On the same series of the posted video, the 3rd match was Ma Long vs Liu Shiwen. Hell, I dare not say women are inferior to men, at least in table tennis. (the difference is maybe more evident in larger ball sports like football or basketball). LSW stunned ML multiple times with her BH down the...
  11. Hurricane 301

    4 out of 5 rating for Hurricane 301 Hands down one of if not the best looping blade in terms of price to performance ratio. The standout attribute I feel right away when using this blade for the first time is the superb feeling of the ball and excellent controls, both with FH and BH. An...
  12. How do you learn to sidestep properly?

    Everyone already made brilliant post(s) so if I may, I will just add a small tip from my own training experience. I also struggled with lateral movement - which is arguably the most important and frequently used movement in TT. My coach made me do multiple BH (random amount) before pinging it...
  13. Hurricane 301

    Review by 'Ktandean' on item 'Hurricane 301'

    Hands down one of if not the best looping blade in terms of price to performance ratio. The standout attribute I feel right away when using this blade for the first time is the superb feeling of the ball and excellent controls, both with FH and BH. An innerforce-ALC type blade with Koto outer...
  14. Frustrated & Confused

    The first 10 seconds is all you need to see
  15. Frustrated & Confused

    and also illegal serves 😂 When you know (by now I believe you should be able to tell instinctively) that you are about to get pushed deep and shitted the other way, try to pivot and loop kill it? That should catch them off guard for a few points (and possibly disrupt their morale too). I...
  16. Balls!

    For 'heavy weight' feel, last time I played with a friend and he brought Tibhar. Good balls I must say.
  17. Frustrated & Confused

    Patience, persistence... which are all managed in our minds... is the key to improving. It's not an instant ramen that is done in 3 training sessions.😄 I should not train to only beat a certain kind of player/playstyle. I should instead improve holistically to be as complete as a player that I...
  18. Which Donic is closest to H3N?

    Another brand, Stiga Genesis (not II) M is somewhat tacky (though not as oil-tacky as a brand new H3/Battle 2 PBS) It feels more like a broken-in tackiness, and sponge is also rather springy so that has a similar feel to using Donic BG V1/C1.
  19. Macau 2022

    The fatties are all being carried by the ladies 🤭 (LJK and Chen Meng too in the R16)
  20. Macau 2022

    Fan didn't play well today. Too many rushed shots and unforced errors. Can see from his face, probably still tired after upsetting WCQ/SYS in the mixed doubles last night lol.
