  1. Politics - Any and All Political Discussions Not Really Related to TT

    I don't see how the drab "West - BAD, China - GOOD" spam is valuable to the table tennis website. There's no discussion, just one-sided spam.
  2. Modern high arc/throw tensor or hybrid rubbers

    Dignics 09c, Glayzer 09c, K3 - they all have high arc/throw. Maybe MK Hybrid is the way - it has medium-high arc/throw, however, it's softer and is easier to play; spin and speed generation are simpler than those of the abovementioned.
  3. Politics - Any and All Political Discussions Not Really Related to TT

    Finally, we have a topic dedicated to the daily posting of CCP propaganda. Didn't think the moderation changes meant such a pivot @Dan
  4. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    Was expecting him to join ANDRO to accompany fellow Bruna and Simon :)
  5. Politics - Any and All Political Discussions Not Really Related to TT

    That is some low-quality propaganda :(
  6. Thinking of changing my blade and rubbers.

    Pretty sure any SALC blade from Butterfly fits the "fast with a low throw" goal, but you said you won't be able to afford that. I am surprised you purchased Viscaria in the first place, as it's not much cheaper than SALC :)
  7. Thinking of changing my blade and rubbers.

    Are you a full-time professional player? I roughly know a couple of semi-pros, who reckon Viscaria lacks a bit of explosiveness (thus prefer Mizutani ZLC), but these are the exceptions. Viscaria is a very fast blade. Do you own an original version or some replica from Stuor? ;) Also, Viscaria is...
  8. Fan Zhendong is joining 1. FC Saarbrücken next season

    Is it just me or D09C suits FZD much better than H3 on forehand? He seems much more aggressive, proactive, and successful with D09C serving and attacking first. With H3 on forehand he used to push and prepare for counterattacks, otherwise his first forehand attack was relatively soft and was...
  9. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025, Chengdu, 11/30-12/7

    In brief, Truls wanted personal privileges regarding sponsorship, so he could receive money from his sponsors even when he represented Sweden. He also wanted to be coached by his brother and make Swedish table tennis association pay for it. From what I know the situation was resolved by Truls'...
  10. ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025, Chengdu, 11/30-12/7

    So Moregard is gonna ignore all events that involve the Swedish national team? Is the drama still going?
  11. WTT Champions Montpellier 2025, 10/28-11/2

    According to one international coach, Truls has been receiving a good buck from Stiga sponsorship (cybershapes are selling well), commercials, and from achieving decent results on the WTT circuit. This and maybe some EGO resulted in him not needing to play in a competitive league (which is the...
  12. WTT Champions Montpellier 2025, 10/28-11/2

    People have posted about Truls' disputes with the Swedish Association. And I think it's crazy that he promotes his brother as the coach without real qualification. And it's very likely that the Swedish head coach has left the team during the peak of Truls' disputes. Plus the involvement of his...
  13. WTT Champions Montpellier 2025, 10/28-11/2

    Dunno what happened to Truls and what motivated him, but I suddenly lost all respect to the guy. Whatever happened between him and Swedish TT Association, it looked like a behavior from a spoiled salty 13 y.o. kid. Especially that he directed it at his buddy, who won him team silver at Paris 2024.
  14. Help with forehand rubber

    Imo, NUZN 50 or MK Hybrid could be great options for your transition towards more bouncy hybrids with less stroke motion. I don't think BS can shorten your movement, as I would argue it demands the "wide motion" technique even more than OS.
  15. Best Rubbers for Fan Zhendong ALC

    I gotta say, the author was right about D09C -- I would say FZD ALC is a bit too slow for D09C. My FZD ALC is slightly softer and less crisp than Viscaria and noticeably softer and less crisp than TB ALC. Imo, FZD ALC has more arc/spin/dwell and less kick. Imo, FZD ALC plays best with softer...
  16. WTT London Star Contender - October 2025

    He is still young, and his mental game will improve.
  17. Looking for rubber softer, more controllable than Dignics 05

    Based on your request, Glayzer (normal, not 09c) is the perfect match: 1) It is slower 2) has better block/flat hitting 3) has a slightly lower arc than D05 4) has the same topsheet on a softer sponge. Imo D05 topsheet is the best topsheet on the market, so you will retain its durability and...
