I had tendentious in my right knee which resulted in occasional shooting pains on the outside of my knee after too strenuous table tennis for years. Wore a knee compression sleeve and I thought that helped. But ultimately what really did the trick was doing calf stretches. I guess the tendons...

The Jpen 1-ply is nice and will always be my first love. But I think I've grown too accustomed to carbon & Cpen. I still prefer my carbon blade for my style. Didn't see that coming. Thus, this beauty should be used by somone. Too not not to be. Nittaku Sou. I have it on ebay buy it now for...

I'll admit. I don't get it. Did someone ask you to do this? :) I'd just say "thanks for the sub. Hard pass." if so.

I will use RPB of the occasional Long Pip block or chop. When I play dual inverted, I have a standard Cpen for that. I can hit a strong RPB but my brain is hardwired at this point for TPB and that's more consistent for me. So I imagine this blade & setup will become my main style. But truth be...

I had a Nittaku Airuline 8.8 for I'm guessing 8 years. Nothing wrong with it. It always played great. That's a 1 ply Kiso. Now I have the Nittaku Sou MF R which is the same except designed for two-sided or twiddle play. I'm sure it'll be fine. But if it ever splits? Well that'll suck but the...

Well I'll report back if this ever happens to me. Picked this up in recently.

So I have this weird thing going on or feeling. It's probably a me thing. But when I play dual inverted, I have a cPen I really like (Gambler Fire Dragon Fast). But for this? Jpen. I'll put DHS C8 Long pips back there. It's a good LP that opens the door with a few attacking possibilities. But...

It was a tough call. Felt like it was splitting hairs. I do like 1 ply jpens. So that and the fact that it's slightly cheaper was probably the difference.

A dead sexy blade. Can't wait to hit with it. Inverted/Long Pips Nittaku Sou MF R

In my free time? lichess on my phone for a quick game. But normal gaming right now it's Starcraft 2 (SC2) & fortnite. I'm usually not into shooters but my wife & I started playing a little fortnite with my two brother in laws and my nephew which has been a fun, funny family experience. I'm...

Smh. Usatt:

I don't think you should make a decision based on your first time back as you stated. Chances are after a long break, nothing was going to feel just right. I'd give it a few weeks at your local club and try hitting with some mates blades & rubber to see what you think first. But yeah in short...

I've been a fan of adhesive protective sheets for some time now as well as some other club mates of mine. Problem with these are is that they get dirty/grimy relatively quick and they're overpriced IMO. For example a local carrier I know of is currently offering Butterfly's adhesive sheets pack...

Best thing I did in 2019 was experiment in hacking up my cpen blade by taking the handle off one side and wood gluing a nub, or jpen like, gripper on the front. Now the blade is ugly as sin but it has opened my eyes as to how much more grip, control, feeling, etc. I have on my backhand TPB...

Consider me interested. I've played the regular Geospin Tacky and it's good. Now it's super slow & super tacky but I've always liked it. If you wanted a spin, control-based rubber, this one works very well. (actually one of the few inverted rubbers from 729 I really, really liked) So yeah I'd...

I don't quite follow. First you ask about blocking a smash close to the table (so playing defense against a smash) and then talk about backing up after you smash (when you're on the offensive which I don't get. If you're on the attack and they're defensively just trying to stay alive yeah you...

Sexy looking blade there. Nice! I've tried a few different 729 inverted rubbers. Including Super FX. They've all pretty much struck me as just so so.

I have this. Works great with the plastic balls (some older robots not so much) https://amzn.to/2PsJqbZ Sub $200. Has 2 wheels so it can shoot you no-spin. An inexpensive trainer that'll get the job done. You're welcome. Personally I wouldn't recommend putting too much $$$ into a robot...

:) Everybody looks like word beaters in editing. Reading a few comments "Adam goofing around." Well 2 things. 1 - Yeah because he's playing the #3 ranked player in the world. It doesn't matter how he approaches it. 2 - And even more so, what people take as Adam goofing around is actually his...

Had my first hit with my new Blade the Gambler Fire Dragon Fast. This is coming off the blade I've had for 3+ years in the Gambler Fire Dragon Touch. I've talked glowingly about the Fire Dragon Touch. Very spiny & controllable. Too early to call on the Fire Dragon Fast but I wanted more speed...
