  1. *VIDEO* - Please help me decide on a forehand rubber! 🙏

    Give Aurus soft some luv. Does what your current rubber does for half the cost and maybe land the ball more often.
  2. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Yup, my kind of attitude when I see OX Grass D-Tex and certainly my preferred way of warfare vs such players. Shock and Awe to the max. Break all the rules and serve HEAVY underspin until they get the hang of it and then PULL THE DAMN CARPET OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THEM !!! Go to the DOG POUND...

    Sounds damn familiar to some matches I play... :D
  4. Blade broken in half, did this ever happen to you?

    Some people may be inclined to declare this is a deep AI fake operation. I had a really thin blade, maybe under 5 mm... I managed to crack this blade the same way in pretty much the same place vertically. I made a big power loop and maybe stuck a tiny off center and bam, blade cracked. I had...
  5. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Der_Echte's interpretation of this is how easy or the tendency of the rubber (and blade) to have a resultant trajectory from the same swing/stroke/grip vs the same incoming ball. Some rubbers and blades are real easy to make the ball rebound at a higher or lower angle. The two main...
  6. How does the US TT rating work?

    All the levels and rankings are entirely relative in nature... What is defined as a "Good" amateur player in Romania (defined by my many US based Romanian friends and the World's largest EJ a former national team member)... they define a good amateur player as 2500 USATT level... that is a...

    @dingyibvs , you going to US Open? Maybe I should start a Trouble Makers Goon Squad meetup at US Open thread...
  8. Joo Sae Hyuk goofing off with double inverted bat vs Shin Yoo Bin

    Here is a short vid of JSH at WTT Frankfurt in total goof off mode using a DOUBLE INVERTED bat... He is attacking some a bit or a whole point, but clearly mostly goofing off. Enjoy. In before the fashion police bip bip.
  9. What elo rating is TTD and Pongfinity?

    ... and we could go on and on about how inconsistent USATT ratings are... (and why) and how they tend to differ regionally... You could be 1900-2000 rated in MO, OK, AK and KS... and you play enough tourneys and events in So Cal or Bay Area and you suddenly cannot keep ur head above 1500-1600.
  10. What elo rating is TTD and Pongfinity?

    As for how internal politicking works @TensorBackhand ... look no further than where you play !!! (SD Balboa) Back in the day, 1971 world CHAMPION Stellan Bengston was running the SD Balboa TT club... he grew that sucka from so many dozens to grow it so large like quadruple XXL increase in...
  11. What elo rating is TTD and Pongfinity?

    Yes. Different players from different places do play each other as you correctly wrote. The thing is where are they playing. If they play a sanctioned USATT match, (in USA) then it is the USATT rating used and updated. If they play sanctioned Germany, (in Germany) TTR system is used. If they...
  12. I Challenged x5 USA Champion Kanak Jha

    @Dan did indeed pound the Dog Crap out of K. Jha's middle (NUMEROUS times) and got NOTHING for it except K. Jha contorting, adjusting and hitting counter winner shots each time !!!
  13. What elo rating is TTD and Pongfinity?

    Quadruple hahahaha. TTD is Germany, USATT is American... is there some mutually observed fake international God law saying all nations must be the same? Canada is Canada and their ELO based system is even more extreme on the higher end of amateurs.
  14. Is there a way to save this blade after a “minor” accident?

    Howl at the Moon is another option. Even if it doesn't fix anything, you feel better. nah, this is not serious damage. So many ways to get it good enough. Have sum fun with this and take sum pics and post your solution.

  18. How do i start my table tennis career in india

    I was former US Military and assigned to Korea a decade+ ago... the best player in the USFK tourney was no more than USATT 1600-1800 rated for years running... that was 20,000 active personal and thousands of contractors and civilians working on base eligible. I would DOUBT that the region zeio...

    OP should ask TT Daily's most famous Indian member @ttmonster and meet him in next week's tourney in Bay Area California.
  20. "Not clear" serve is еxplicitly prohibited by the Rule 2.6

    Yes, it is clear to serve in a manner that in not... not clear. We all get that. What we do not get is why you said it? Of course, umpires are not professionally paid or not even paid California minimum wage for a McDonald's worker, so WHY would any reasonable person expect an ITTF umpire to...
