  1. The Surest Way to Get Rid of Illegal Serve Complaints

    What did you think of those 2002 matches I posted? I'm guessing you didn't watch those since I'm not fully convinced you read my whole post before replying. How do you feel about hidden service as it stands now? If you feel it's a non-issue, no worries then. If you feel like it needs addressed...
  2. The Surest Way to Get Rid of Illegal Serve Complaints

    My post said slow motion replays. You read that right? They also have years of experience and faster reactions. Ultimately throughout the majority of TT's life, it was played with allowing a hidden ball. We could go back to that with the current ball. I'm open to that. But I think it'd be...
  3. The Surest Way to Get Rid of Illegal Serve Complaints

    Fair enough. It's been my experience in times hitting with those service balls I've made that tossed from the hand with no spin, while a spiny serve certainly blends the ball more, IMO you can still see the difference between say pure backspin or side/back. Pros use to be able to handle this...
  4. The Surest Way to Get Rid of Illegal Serve Complaints

    I'm not saying this is a great ball so it's not really about the durability. It's more just the visual. And for sure someone in the stadium wouldn't be able to see it. It's meant as a TV enhancement.
  5. The Surest Way to Get Rid of Illegal Serve Complaints

    I don't know about you guys, but I often grow tired of the ever present threads on reddit and other places "This serve is illegal!". Yes, we know just about every player out there is trying their best to almost hide the serve so sure. Some are going to get away with it sometimes in actually...
  6. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Man I didn't know my initial comment, which lacked tact and could have been stated much better, was going to get some traction. I've been around this board for some time but have taken some time off it. I explained earlier through my recent positive experience in sharing videos how I didn't...
  7. Impact of US Tariffs policies on equipment price

    I'd like to 2nd the notion for Jslick89 to let us know how it goes. Getting recent accounts from people how it shook out is all I'm really interested in.
  8. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Okay I understand. I posted footage recently of a match I had and then week or two later some footage of where I made the assessment that vs this one player I was playing service receive poorly. In both instances, I had feedback that was constructive and what I was looking to discuss. Nothing...
  9. Video Footage Safe Thread

    I've never seen this thread before. That OP post. lol. Wow. Gate keep much?
  10. Felix Lebrun should play short pips on FH

    I saw this post the other day and it's an old one so I didn't feel like bumping it but now that it has been pushed back to the top, I'd like to say to the OP that this notion is a little silly and I'm assuming the point I'm about to make others have stated. Yes Felix's FH is the weakest part of...
  11. What is going on with Felix??

    Full game here: I know he has dropped some of recent. I'm only watching this match now. I don't think highlights is a good indicator of what happened. I'll continue to leave my impressions as I watch. - Game 1 Felix is leading but I can tell already Feng Yi-Hsin's FH is bigger than Felix's...
  12. Spinniest ESN rubber?

    Well this ought to be interesting. I'm sure we'll all agree on this one. Let me get my popcorn. Hang on. ;) j/k. OP have you tried hitting with buddy's setups at club or something? What do they like? How does it feel? That would give you way more information than various people telling you...
  13. Grippiest Long Pips Rubber

    correct. What the OP is asking for doesn't really make sense. If they want to vary the spin the chops or be able to chop with heavy backspin or sometimes dead chop, medium or even a short pip would do the trick as there are choppers who use those. With those you can dictate the levels of spin...
  14. Challenges with my looping on my forehand

    It is a little wild how many posts we have where people post looking for stroke improvement or tips to beat X player and don't provide video. Without that, you'll just get general tips anybody could find if they spent a whole minute googling FH loop. Provide us video, then we can help.
  15. First Time Penholder: Help me out!

    As a penholder for many years who does both gosh if I could learn the game all over again, I'd do what i'm doing with my girls which is RPB full time. That hesitation of should I TPB or RPB is a killer IMO. I'd love to play like Wang Hao but I just can't teach my brain to do it on quick balls...
  16. How to play against Lefties?

    So as a lefty penholder, but I play inverted, the He Zhi Wen play is still my number 1 play and I've done it countless number of times in my life vs righties. It just works well. For anybody not in the know here's how to beat it or at least what I see from people who do this vs me that I see as...
  17. How to play against Lefties?

    I'm left handed and while I could say things that righties do vs my that gives me trouble, it's so far removed to what could actually be going on with you. I don't know how we can really help here without video. We don't know if you have a form issue on a particular stroke. Maybe you're doing...
  18. Best glue to assemble rubbers?

    My favorite glue? No doubt rubber cement. Super cheap, easy, good hold, I never have a film on the sponge to take off. It ever so slightly expands the sponge kinda like a tuning effect but the difference is so small, it's basically nothing. It just doesn't work on OX rubbers naturally but...
  19. Appears as though my service receive vs heavy side/top is bad. (video critique requested)

    Here I have myself (the left handed penholder) vs two players at club who specialize in heavy side/top & side/back spin serves. There's no real mystery to their game. Their approach is "Here is is. What are you going to do about it." which is completely valid for some. I have mixed in various...
  20. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    So as a penholder, I've been a long time fan of Kaii Yoshida. That's how I've always known him. I've recently stumbled upon (I think it's the same league) that always mentions him as Kaii Konishi. Did he change his name or is this just some sort of strange translation thing? Doesn't matter...
