  1. Why don't Pro's just do serve that comes back to their side?

    It's a very slow serve - if you see it coming, you can just run around to reach it. At most it would work once, in my opinion, and then the opponent would be ready.

  2. Suggested rule change

    Where in the world a fist pump isn't a universal gesture of celebrating a victory, be it point or game, done by everyone from kids to top pros? They're not trying to intimidate anyone or displaying some suppressed whatever, they're hyped up, pumped up and celebrating.

  3. WTT Champions Chongqing 2024

    SHW looks completely lost in G3, that's just sad after how close G1 was. :cry:

  4. WTT Champions Chongqing 2024

    Yup, it was 3-1 and that 1 was quite one-sided too before the tides turned.

  5. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    How long do rubbers stay "Like new" if left unopened in their packaging? I was wondering maybe I could get something early if they're on a decent sale and leave them in a drawer for the future. I don't think all stores get the freshest stuff anyway so it should be fine, right?

  6. Dignics 09c is amazing

    They'd last longer if you dry-boosted your tissues! As for me, I prefer my Chinese nasal rags that come sticky from the factory.

  7. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Brought my previous setup with NAIC and Turbo Orange/Z2 to the office after having had my current one for a month. I do love how it sounds though, a very nice clack. As for playing, I'm not sure. I think the setup is two months old now, but the HP3TO seems to have lost about 50%-90% of its...

  8. What are your top annoyances about assembling your own table tennis bats?

    Mainly the money. The stuff I want the most is the stuff I need the least! But also the waiting for glue to dry (and I'm sure I'll eventually get boosters too for some rubbers) I actually like putting the things together and cutting now that I've sort of gotten the hang of it.

  9. Timo Boll announces retirement after Paris 2024

    What a legend. I remember him from back in the day when my dad started teaching me how to play TT as a kid and to see him still around when I picked it back up this year was crazy. Hopefully he can have a fitting send-off..

  10. DHS H3 and all versions

    I admittedly didn't actually use that set up all that much, the need to EJ was too strong. Mainly to give the Hurricane a proper go and see how it feels on it with me now used to my new rocketship. I do feel like something tacky would work well on FH for me, but I have forced myself to take a...

  11. DHS H3 and all versions

    Unfortunately while it would be fantastic for my EJ-brain, a matrix/table like that would require the world to come to some sort of a consensus about them, and then it gets even more complicated when you include the topic of boosting, in which case you can take the amount of opinions to the...

  12. Issue cutting the rubber

    I use 1+2 layers of glue (Butterfly Free Chack Pro II) and just roll it out with a bottle a few times. Then I just grab a boxcutter, start off with a couple more shallow cuts to work as a guide before cutting through all the way. No waiting for anything other than glue to dry for 30 or so...

  13. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    The local TT online store recently got their hands onto some of the pro-tier Hurricanes and I have been super tempted by them... thankfully someone else's been getting them over time, so the temptation is no longer there, with the only remaining one being the WCQ 41.5d FH one. I need to stop...

  14. Dry boosting -- safe boosting.

    Damn, there goes my sitting-on-the-rubber method idea for boosting.

  15. New innovation rubber

    Not a good rubber, too bouncy - hard to keep the balls in play.

  16. Saudi Smash 2024

    Yeah, I caught the last two games and this was very much a SYS crowd. I don't think a few less edge balls would've changed the overall outcome anyway with how CM was playing.

  17. New blade suggestion

    Pic taken from her game vs Hina Hayata at the Saudi Smash - The handle looks like the Yasaka Atletico... Speed? The yellow and white stripes kind of blend together in the light. But other pictures of her show her with a Butterfly Zhang Jike Super ZLC so I'm sure someone will immediately...
  18. Acoustic Carbon Inner

    Review by 'Cordell' on item 'Acoustic Carbon Inner'

    I have this in FL with Turbo Orange for FH and Hammond Z2 for BH, both at 2.0. It was a solid step-up in pace for me, without becoming too fast and uncontrollable. The feedback from hitting my shots is good, the sweet spot seems pretty large as well, which definitely helps out since I'm far from...

  19. Reached EJ Enlightenment

    Yeah, at my EJ-hobbyist level there's only so much an equipment can do to hide my minor case of major skill issue, so I gravitated towards stuff that looks cool and feels good to me more than anything. I still wanna try everything, not because it'll help me play better, but just because it's...

  20. Saudi Smash 2024

    Two net taps in a row for Kihara, that was really unlucky for Ito... How the first game went seems a long time ago now
