  1. My personal experience with SANWEI NOVA Carbon, and some tips on how to use this blade.

    Does anyone have experience with both the Sanwei Nova Carbon and either Donic Original / Ovtcharov Carbospeed or Donic Waldner Legend? Any difference? All three have Hinoki outer ply+ carbon + kiri core. I have the Legend and REALLY like it and would like to eventually get either the...
  2. Grip anxiety? Don't watch this video

    OMG what is this video? I feel like I will receive a Ringu horror phone call soon saying "Seven days. Advan sed grip."
  3. Video about TT ratings

    As someone who doesn't compete, I've sometimes wondered what my rating would be. From this video, I rate my top half at 1800 :), and my bottom half (footwork) at 800. :(
  4. Table Tennis books and films - my list and your recommendations

    Old thread (pre-Covid!) and both the OP and zzzupp no longer post... but I had a question in my mind: I was wondering if there are TT books that were "must reads", that were written in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, European, and other TT power countries, and were not known or readable by English...
  5. "This rubber is not correct!"

    Very clearly "Austria" to me. We need someone to adjudicate, preferably someone objective, like another Aussie :cool:
  6. "This rubber is not correct!"

    Even the umpire did not like Chulong Nie (5:46 "Game to Austria", not Australia) ;)
  7. Besides TT, what other sports do you do?

    Discus! Your loops must be Xu Xin level strong
  8. How to maintain grippiness of shoes

    Yeah I saw that product too. Interesting to see how well it would work on a rubber sole that qualifies as anti-spin... oh, now I wonder what happens if you spray something like grip-x on a topsheet .
  9. How to maintain grippiness of shoes

    Interesting. I might try it too and see how long it lasts.
  10. How to maintain grippiness of shoes

    A friend's badminton shoes (Mizuno, which he uses for TT) is still structurally sound. The sole does not show wear and tear. However, after just a year it has lost its original grippiness and is quite useless now (and it's not fake, bought from Mizuno directly). My suspicion is this is largely...
  11. I want opinions on my chances of pro

    I asked an AI to draw up a 3 year plan starting from 2000 and become 2400. It's too wordy but a few points stood out for me (nothing you don't already know, but others may not, and I don't know if this is true): - Winning an upset can yield 20-50 points - Beating someone ranked lower gives you...
  12. I want opinions on my chances of pro

    If the OP wanted to get to 2400 by age 15, how could he achieve this? I'm not asking about how to improve his skill (already covered by Tony and PongCommenter et al) but about actually attaining that rating. Does he have to win specific competitions? Beat N number of players rated 2400 and...
  13. How many complete racket setups do you own?

    You're in a different league altogether. This is the children's section.
  14. How many complete racket setups do you own?

    Crap I have 16. Rubbers are mostly Friendship 729 Super FX or Hurricane 3 commercial. One setup has Mercury II.
  15. How many complete racket setups do you own?

    No column for brand? (Butterfly, DHS, etc).
  16. A24 Table Tennis Movie - Open Casting

    I'd like to see Simon Gauzy play Pascal, Dan or Tom play Ted, Otto from Pongfinity play Swede (no one can tell a Scandi from a Finn anyway).
  17. Us EJ’s upholds the entire TT equipment market 🙃

    Is there a Taiwanese / Chinese term for EJ?
  18. Fan zhendong, Ma Long and Cheng Meng announces Retirement from WTT/ITTF

    Welcome. Is the voice yours? I was wondering what "ETTF" was (1:57). Maybe how a Swede pronounces 'ITTF" (It's not a criticism. It's just makes me curious). My only suggestion as to how this video can be improved (for me personally) is to add more detail so it's not too general. For...
  19. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    Speaking of prophets... in the second video, at timestamp 0:19 to 0:21, I don't understand how the ball stopped rolling away. Did the scrub yell "stop right there!"
