  1. Endurance exercises

    Well, I kinda sorta hafta do the gym in addition to TT. My hernia informs me every now and then I gots to keep dat core very strong, or else. But it's not just that, it's also plain stamina. Getting old sucks, and loss of stamina is one of the many ways in which it does so.
  2. Knee injuries - how many of you have?

    Amen. Serious knee issues were co-reasons for me quitting the game, many decades ago. In retrospect, I’d been putting in much too much training probably didn’t hrlp that a lot of that coincided with grow spurts.
  3. Europe Champions League 2021/2022

    It’s not you. Yes, it produces unexpected results - but in balance it doesn’t seem right.
  4. Switching inverted rubber in BH to Anti Spin BH

    What Tembel said. I'm by no means a great player, but have some experience in dealing with players using anti, long pips, short pips. I'd classify them, broadly, in two categories: (a) those using that material to elope a weakness and (b) those embracing a playing style that is strongly...
  5. should I buy a duplicate blade or a different blade for backup

    Well, if you're aiming for a backup, then get a backup. If you're itching to have a go with other blades, then diversify.
  6. opinions on my new blade

    Somebody should have informed ZYL about that when she played with it while WR#1. What WAS she thinking!
  9. SDC Handmade Blades

    Eloi?
  10. 5ply or 7ply wooden blade

    Two plies, usually with layers mounted on top of one another in perpendicular fashion. Generally, that makes blades somewhat stiffer, less flexible - and a bit more powerful. Playing them requires a bit more touch, but the reward of putting in sufficient skill is a higher power envelope...
  11. Anyone using or used Yasaka Sweden Extra?

    Wonderful blade. Crisp feel, excellent, plenty of power, very versatile. It suits a wide range of playing style. It’s a bit harder than many (most, even) other blades in its class (Korbel, Offensive Classic, Offensive S), but not very stiff. Spins excellent, and hits welk too.
  12. What is STIGA Cybershape?

    Downwards maybe. Upwards, no.
  13. What is STIGA Cybershape?

    It’s linked to in the FB post mentioning Truls’ premier, but I won’t repeat it cuz friend don’t point friends to FB.
  14. What is STIGA Cybershape?

    I’m wondering about the physics of it. Resonance patterns will be affected; and will it have (more) standing waves, and the corresponding outliers? Strange instabilities, vibrations? The altered surface distribution must heavily impact the balance, shifting substantially more towards the head...
  15. Frictionless Anti players

    I could have pressed the like button, but that wouldn’t do justice. Thank you.
  16. Updating personal details

    Well, you can update at https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/profile.php?do=editprofile. That worked for me, last time I tried. As to bugs not getting addressed, I don't know why.
  17. Ma Long and Xu Xin not joining world championships?

    Do any CNT members participate?
  18. What are the unwritten rules of table tennis?

    This has been covered before, of course - but many feel that such a “mercy point” is much more disrespectful than an 11-0 game.
