  5. Gluing OX Rubber With Glue Sheet Question With Sticky Side

    Have you guys ever had a glue sheet to where it's not designated which is the super sticky side? ie - the side that's supposed to go on the rubber and not the blade. I ordered an OX LPs and years ago I had an OX LPs correctly on a glue sheet. I loved it. Pulled off easy. Stayed sticky forever...
  6. Penhold v Pistol Grip: A Video Experiment

    A little about me. I like weird blades. I like stuff out of the ordinary. Unusual play. etc. That Wingspan blade thread really threw me down a rabbit hole. Check that out or some of the comments & videos in it if you haven't yet...
  7. 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...
  8. 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...
  9. 2 Match Review (best 3 of 5). Open to tips & feedback: Lefty Penholder

    Context: I'm the lefty penholder here. Started playing when I was 30. 46 now. Initially learned TPB and what I'm most comfortable with but will work in a RPB if I feel the time is right. Namely spin shots or power shots. Here I'm playing Yi. He's an older traditional penholder who was one of...
  10. I think I stumbled Upon A Way to Improve One's RPB

    So scroll down for the TLDR part under the line for a quick "what this is" post. But first, some context. I'm a lefty penholder. I've been playing penhold for 15 years. When I started back in the day, I didn't know at the time penholders primarily use the RPB. I thought they stilled played TPB...
  11. Is this bad form? Or am I overacting.

    This isn't a big deal really but thought I'd share with you guys. So last night at club in a doubles match, I had a service error. We're all pretty chummy & friends at club. It's nothing serious. We all play to win but this isn't the world championships or anything. I say that to establish that...
  12. Pleasantly Surprised So Far With Meteor 845 Blue Short Pips

    Have you all tried or seen this yet? So I'm teaching my girls to play table tennis and of course they want colored rubbers. Because they're still kids and I want to keep it light, I say why not. I get them their setup but on ali express I kept seeing this Meteor 845 Blue Short Pips based on my...
  13. How does TTDSL work as far as team format, points etc?

    I help run our local tt club here in the states and I find the TTDSL pretty entertaining. I like the comradery the guys feel playing in a team. To my knowledge, we don't really have team leagues here in the states and TT is very much an isolated, work on your own craft game. That's fine and I...
  14. Anybody Have or Seen A Good Net Post Cap Design For Longevity?

    I run our local small week club here in the states. One of the biggest rackets in all of table tennis are flimsy net post caps that break or fall out of the posts and you have to buy a completely new new post set for around $70 give or take up or down depending on what you're looking for...
  15. Hardbat > Long Pips? Hardbat concept/tips wanted

    Quick tidbit about my game: Left handed traditional penholder. Play inverted on the FH side and over a number of years have played sometimes inverted on the RPB. Mostly long pips on the RPB side (1.0 DHS C8) where I'd chop and/or twiddle when necessary. While I like some of the tricky aspects...
  16. How To: Adhesive Table Tennis Rubber Covers for Pennies Per Sheet

    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...
  17. Replacing a handle on your blade. Has anybody tried this method?

    I came across this Samson Dubina video the other day in replacing a handle. He boils his blade in water for X amount of time to soften the glue then he pops it off. Has anybody tried this method? Would this damage the wood? Would it matter given only the handle is in the water? Would it be...

    My current TT robot finally died so I'm in the market for a table tennis robot. Curious if any of you have some you really like or have tried some of the ones I'm looking at. Here's the criteria that will cut down the list significantly. So I will get this out of the way now. - Must be a 2...
  19. Are you Right or Left eye dominate? Simple test right here.

    I'm curious to get a feel of the members here if they're playing hand is also the same as their dominate eye. Simple test you can do right now. Takes a second to figure out. Make a triangle with your hand as shown in the picture here. Focus on some object. Could be anything. Now close your...
