for me the funniest names i ever saw on someones bat was: AK47 Giant Dragon Submarine TTR-Killer!

because of stuff like this i can’t be bothered anymore to take of the glue and just put a thin layer on top. some clubmates of mine don’t even put a new layer on just one on the wood. i remove glue only after several removals

no worries, i have seen way worse. you can play with that easily. if it would be in the hitting window, then it would be more dramatic, but this looks manageable :)

if it goes out then you just didn’t close the racket enough. also countering is a way harder stroke, try blocking first but same principle

you didn’t wrote how long you played, but what i noticed from many beginners here is that they don’t stick with something that just works, doesn’t need to be IT. the first years of playing are a crucial time for you to develop most feeling and your actual style of play, that is the reason why...

the part that you don’t need to worry about counterloop is a really good advice indeed. i also think that 90% of ‘hobby’ player block and if they try to counterloop, then they will likely miss and then get nervous, wich is even better for you. only scary counter player on low level are smasher...

i also like behind the table angle much more and most of my clubmates. only one coach i know likes the sideangle because we can see the back and forth footwork better, but thats it

mine too. i have one playing nittaku g-1 and tenergy 05 and the nittaku holds longer. but hybrid mk is dislisked because of bad durability so also depends how you play.

a friend of mine has the ALXi and is a huge fan of it. says it has amazing feeling like a normal wood blade and a lot of power. but i never tried it myself. but i played with the normal TMXi of my clubmate and it felt really stiff, had a really low throw for a inner carbon and was way too fast...

it is still a really grippy rubber and due to the ball change it is way easier to play, so even intermediate players can now control it. the down side is that it is not as dynamic as modern rubbers and the passive play is just ridiculous sensitive to spin even compared to modern more spinnier...

i think you can exclude the moral part into another discussion, but let me tell you with that mindset you will definitely struggle a lot in your tabletennis future too! the thing that you did here is putting winning over everything else. but winning is just the side effect of good training and...

i don't really understand, i mean you know what LP is doing to your serve, so you know what comes back and then you know what to do against, so what is the difference to playing a grippy rubber? and if you have problems to play a third ball on the different sidespin you are used to, why not just...

i am on the same side as @Sims there would have been many ways to find spots to pull in your game against a five yea old. no need for something where your opponent is not able to do anything against. also the score you posted didn't seamed like you had any problems with the serve, so why just...

sorry i misunderstood. yes it can be way easier to receive a serve with different material. but grippy rubbers also have differences. if someone uses tibhar MX-P then they will having a really hard time compared to a rubber like donic coppa just for example. but what does it matter, the return...

i would say that people who don't train with their equipment are easily beatable. i mean nothing dangerous happens if you do nothing with an anti or with pips. it just becomes dangerous if they know what they are doing and have a gameplan to get to the strokes they want, same like players with...

wow just saw this and this is amazing! really nice skills! <3

i like playing against pips. a good way to test my own looping and mental game! but i am also the kind of player that plays rather into the pips if i face an opponent with two sides. to get really good with pips to make a lot of trouble takes some serious commitment to material and a lot of...

1. Tenergy 05 (more catapult, faster, spinnier, but way less control) 2. Nittaku G-1 (spinnier but maybe same speed, or overall to close to vega pro) 3. Xiom Omega V Tour (way faster, just a bit spinnier, but harder to create spin) 4. Xiom Vega X (different throw, but spinnier and faster) 5...

when i am in the mist of equipment change, what helps me is to think about what i want from the new stuff. you play with nittaku acoustic wich is a really flexible blade made for automatic topspin because by their flexibility creates an arc on it's own and so can easy clear the net. but the flex...

i hate this forehand fade shot too :D i can't do it myself and not really a lot of people doing this too, so they often hit me by suprise, but as you already said this shot is mostly a punishment for a weak and unthought shot out of position i did on my own. i think more then better ball...
