  1. Koki Niwa has been referred to prosecutors

    I get the impression that the article is implying (although not clearly stated) about "fixed" matches. Otherwise I can't see why it would be illegal for table tennis athletes to bet in other sports.
  2. Mizuno Q Power, is it good?

    Yes I play in Dionysos tt club!
  3. Mizuno Q Power, is it good?

    I play the red one in 2.1mm. I've reversed and play it on my FH as well for some drills and it's even better than G1. So, my suggestion is try it on the FH as well, you can't go wrong with this rubber. Even my clubmates were amazed by it, that are very experienced players. I recall that Zwill...
  4. Mizuno Q Power, is it good?

    I don't know about Q-Power, but I can tell you for sure that Q-Quality is an exceptional rubber! I've been using it about 2 months now on my BH and I've been amazed by it: Great block, spinny (lifts underspin balls easily), fast but controllable at the same time. I much prefer it to the Vicats...
  5. Follow up for Xiom Vega intro

    Also consider Victas Ventus Limber.
  6. Is this store/listing real?

    Personally, I wouldn't trust Aliexpress for tt equipment, but it's your money and your choice.
  7. Is this store/listing real?

    In TT11 you can buy the HL5 at about 183€ (with a 25% discount just by adding an accessory of 5-6€ to the basket), while the price in AliExpress you've posted, is about 147€ with shipping. So you're talking about a difference of 36€. It's not a small difference, but in my mind, not a difference...
  8. Recommend a BH rubber

    Victas V>11 and Mizuno Q Quality are two of the best BH rubbers I've tried.
  9. adhesive covers

    I use Donic and Nittaku adhesive covers. Never had a problem with Nittaku ones, I've been using them for years. Even when they get all dusty and don't stick anymore, just wash them with soap water & let them dry and they will be as good as new.
  10. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2024

    I am here from Tuesday and I can't believe how empty the stadium is. The Germans are not coming to the games! The only day that had a little bigger crowd was yesterday during the F. Lebrun game. When I booked my all week ticket back in August for 329€, all seats seemed occupied in the online...

    Maybe that's why I couldn't find it from the link that you've given me in your previous message. Anyway, thanks for your help!
  13. Table Tennis Clubs in Frankfurt

    I've changed hotel and the tt club that I had contacted to play, is rather far away now. Do you know if there's any ttclub in Eschborn?
  14. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2024

    I will be there from Monday 4th to the end of the event on Sunday.
  15. Difference between sticky rubbers and non-sticky rubbers

    Although I haven't used Chinese rubbers, I don't think that serves are spinier than ESN rubber if you are not an absolute expert in serving, with very large serve stroke. I'm saying that because I play frequently with a veteran that uses H3 on his FH and his serves are always without spin...
  16. Difference between sticky rubbers and non-sticky rubbers

    First of all, most players that use Chinese sticky rubbers boost them, in order to make the sponge softer. Second, Chinese rubbers produce more spin than European rubbers, only if you have impeccable technique and you rotate your whole body in order to make the shot. If you are out of position...
  17. Table Tennis Clubs in Frankfurt

    Thank you for the links! I found two clubs that are fairly close to where I stay, so I'll contact them and arrange a visit.
  18. How do you block a flat fast drive from short pips?

    I've faced an opponent that punches with long pimples, exactly as you describe. If you block, the ball goes down and the shot is too fast to counterattack with spin. The only method that worked for me, is return the ball with a very open racket
  19. Table Tennis Clubs in Frankfurt

    On the week November 4-11 I will visit Frankfurt to watch the WTT Champions Frankfurt 2024. During my stay I would like to play a little, if I have some spare time. If there are any players from Frankfurt here, please send me the details your club and days/hours that are open.
