Awesome story dude. How old were you when you realized you had to pivot to a career as a blade maker and that it was ultimately impossible for you to become a professional table tennis player? Do you remember what your mindset was at that time? It goes back to one of my first posts in this...

how many coaches have you had? what is your litmus test for knowing if a coach is good or not?

online forums dont take up storage on your phone dude. dont delete. keep this thread so you can remember it when you make it. and we can remember you.

harder to do analysis since you have a small data set. You have progressed fast, but Kanak and Nandan were playing at your level when they were 9 years old. You did well your last 5 tournaments, but its going to get harder going forward. I made a little line graph for you...pretty simliar to...

If you could give me the data, i could analyze it for you lol. Does china have a rating system similar to TTR or USATT?

So I'll never be a table tennis pro, but I am a professional business analyst lol. Here is my analysis of two of the top players in the USA: Kanak Jha is currently world rank 28. Here's a table of his age and USATT rating at the time (based on this page...

To become top 50 at anything in the world is damn near impossible. I remember when I was OPs age, I thought I was going to grow up and become a famous actor lol. Good to have goals, better to have a plan B. One day my dad took me to a park where there were a bunch of homeless people. He told...

two weeks ago i put a 39degree 2.20mm H3N BS on my forehand. boosted twice and two layers of DHS15 glue. I can make some pretty good shots but its HARD to engage the rubber fully. definitely had to swing faster. Over the weekend, I threw a brand new H3N BS 40 degree 2.15 BS boosted twice with...

You've been doing it a lot longer than me lol. Also, haifu national yelllow is like thick snot....i try to put a little back into the bottle before i brush on the sponge, which is probably why it takes me longer. Gluing is pretty fast- one little swirl and then brush it on the sponge with the...

H3N does require boosting, but i feel like most people overestimate how much time and effort it takes to boost. it's really quite a simple process: 1) Open vacuum sealed rubber (10 seconds) 2) remove white protecting sheet off the sponge side (10 seconds) 3) open and apply booster (1-2 minutes...

Lots to unpack here lol. First of all, you seem like the only one here who seems "pissed off". Also, you are the one trying to convert people to not using Chinese rubber. And now you're mad that people are pushing back against your notion. You're even arguing with multiple people and getting...

I’m confused. If “most people” you encounter don’t use Chinese rubbers or have never even “heard of them” why are you making a post saying that “most people” don’t benefit from Chinese rubbers when you or the people in your community don’t have experience (or much experience) with Chinese...

Hey man, you made a post that said most people, now people are replying to show you that your original post is not necessarily true. There are a lot of examples, even in this post, of people who benefit from the use of Chinese rubber. no need to get Ultra defensive especially when you are the...

Fair enough but it’s still cheaper than almost any other flagship rubber

show me on the doll where the hurricane touched you

OP- what is your rating or general level? I ask because I had sort of an opposite experience as you. I used tenergy rubbers for a couple of years before i switched to DHS hurricane Neo on my forehand (and D09C on my backhand). Once switched, i experienced a siginificant rating increase- mostly...

Can you send me AliExpress link to a good W968 clone?

I agree it wouldn't be flat and it is "sort of" an illusion, but the magnus effect acts continuously over a distance. If you have: Point A & B. Then you have two trajectories; one curved and one a straight line. the curved line is covering more distance, thus the magnus effect act over a longer...

I think you're a little confused here? Different rubbers have different "throw angles". There's plenty of charts online from rubber manufactures that show this. You can even feel this yourself when you use different rubbers. If you use one rubber on tuesday, then switch to another rubber on...

the throw angle is even lower on the blue sponge. it's taken me 2 weeks to finally stop hitting so many balls off the end of the table.
