If you could get around to providing the English transcript for this video, that would be great. 😉

When I first came on this forum and saw your username it made me smile. The original Kung Fu is the best TV series ever. The world could be a little better place if more people watched old episodes of Kung Fu

Can you share a pic of the slight grip modification? And maybe a video of the stroke motion and then using it in play?

As a fellow Jpener, good thread topic! 🇯🇵✍️

2A originally indicated all Hinoki wood multi-ply blades. 5P-2A 5 ply, 7P-2A 7 ply. both 6.5mm. 7P-2A.7t 7 ply 7mm. 7P-2ACarbon 6.5mm with 5 wood and 2 carbon plies. Now in the 2024 catalog the 7P-2A and 5P-2A are changing to 7P-2A.Ri and 5P-2A.Ri. Still all wood but with a different...

Thanks!

Just found you mentioning Ariex in the Darker Party thread. Sorry…, It would take a lot of convincing for me to believe that Ariex approaches Darker quality. But it’s cool you’re happy with it 👏👍 “Popeye arm me has. Blush!” 💪!!

What brand and model is your Monster 10.5mm? With two rubbers on a 10.5mm, do you bring your racket to the table with a hand truck? 😉 Your playing arm must be massive!🙂

S-pin, 1 ply Speed 90 and Speed 15 are still listed in the 2024 catalog though I don’t think anyone has had them in stock for over a year

Gozo, not sure if you’re penholder or shakehand as Speed 90 and Imperial Hinoki 2020 were made in both styles even though they’re more associated with penholder and especially Jpen. Darker’s Jpen Speed series has been reduced to two models (Speed 90 and Speed 15) in the 2024 catalog from nine...

Good idea as Darker enthusiast describes me. It goes without saying that the group would need Jpen representation as Darker and Jpen are practically synonymous

I find using Tearmender as shown in this video the best way to remove old glue and have the sponge be as close as possible to when it was removed from the package

Since Darker has become my blade of choice, I’ve been using Nishohi and Tabletennis11 as they are the two primary distributors for Darker. Taku at Nishohi is a super nice guy and very helpful and attentive. Their prices are somewhat lower even after including shipping. TT11 is the best source...

You live in the US and were able to buy from https://shopee.tw/ ?

I thought the same and bought a pair of Yonex Power Cushion Comfort Z3. Only wore them once. I found the uppers stiff and the midsole hard. Didn’t feel like a comfortable or agile shoe.

I just had the same experience. I wear a size 11.5 and my everyday Hokas in that size fit fine. I’ve been using the discontinued Hoka Evo Carbon Rocket racing flat to play in because of its low stack height. I wanted to get a proper table tennis shoe. Size 11.5 in a table tennis shoe isn’t that...

Thanks driversbeat!🙏 I thought I had gone through the women’s teams but I guess I missed Malaysia. She’s currently ranked 438. Kudos for your keen observation!👏

Penholder enthusiasts likely recognized the top ranked three men’s and three women’s penhold players at Busan: Felix Lebrun, Dang Qui, Wong Chun Ting and Xiaona Shan, Fu Yu, Xia Lian Ni. I was looking at this YouTube video that showed players practicing prior to the start of the competition...

Good to see penholder representation! 👏 And two things especially- Most were Jpeners and everyone including the Cpener played single sided/traditional backhand! ✍️💪
