    I searched like ten seconds ...
  2. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    Solid choices. I think you will be happy with this setup. Funny you picked Vega Europe. I stayed mostly out of the sriver argument in this thread because it's pointless. But I also chose Vega Europe when I first got a grippy ESN rubber. It was late 2012 or early 13, so Vega was fairly new...
  3. WTT Star Contender Doha 2025 - 6-11 Jan 2025

    Ooh, HZJ v Miyu in 20 minutes - what a great match! Been watching T league of Miyu v Idesawa, maybe she is prepped for many weird LP balls.
  4. WTT Star Contender Doha 2025 - 6-11 Jan 2025

    Great tournament for Maria Xiao. I hoped she might sneak past Kihara into the quarters. No luck there, but still R16 at a SC is great result for Maria.
  5. Fan Zhendong Butterfly Tutorials

    Pretty sure he can still play good with Bty fh rubber.
  6. Dignics and its Effect on Sales of Tenergy and Rozena

    Okay, I'll try with words. Businesses have sales, and they have fixed costs and variable costs. Fixed means regardless of how much they sell, they pay these costs. Think about factories, salaries for employees you won't fire, interest on debts, sponsorship contracts to license a player's...
  7. Post your latest EJ purchase

    Wow! Gozo, beautiful bats! Nothing feels like one-ply hinoki for hitting. Which butterfly rubbers you will apply to these lovely blades?
  8. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    This argument really is kind of useless to the OP. Sounds like you guys are having fun though. In 2012 I was this OP. 43 years old, started playing TT in a town with a community center club one night a week, nearest proper club 2.5 hours drive away. No coaching. The good players in Comm...
  9. Are worn out Long pips better than new long pips?

    I don't know if they are better, but I do observe many LP players using the same sheet for years. So at least we can say LP stay playable at a similar level a lot longer than grippy rubbers. Personally I think it may be more about the demographics than any game advantage. Lots of long pips...
  10. Would you consider a tt video coach?

    imo the value of video coaching is highly dependent on the quality of your video setup and streaming. Like Tony said, how close is it to real life? Coach can switch between four camera angles to see what he wants? He can clearly hear the sound of your contact? Very rare to have that good a...

    imo, it's Nittaku acoustic carbon G
  12. A guide to buying and choosing table tennis equipment from an Intermediate player and EJ

    Simon Gauzy says this is bogus advice "recommend a rubber in the hardness range of 50-53 degrees ESN"
  13. did switching to short pips on bh help your game?

    Yes and yes. I have more fun. Why would you switch? As noted, it isn't going to just make you better. Some things can be better and others worse. My reason for bh sp was my feeling on backhand wasn't good enough to consistently open against heavy serves and pushes with inverted. This...
  14. A couple of questions about my upcoming (potential) equipment

    You made an excellent choice. Table tennis is a difficult game. It would only retard your development to play with equipment that is easy to handle because it doesn't make or react much to spin. You would learn to play with no spin, which is very bad long-term. Rozena is quite spinny...
  15. Are inner carbon blades an exception to "don't go carbon yet"?

    Dude, ask your coach and use what he says.
  16. Beginner Equipment Mistake

    It's true that people can start with carbon or wood, and adjust the blade speed and sensitivity a ton with the rubbers. It may also be true that you don't have good feeling from the TB ALC. Personally I don't like them and I've been playing a long time. Buying a moderately fast wood blade...
  17. 34th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2025, Shenzhen, 2/19-23

    You linked the pathway twice instead of the players. Care to just post the women from C/J/KNTs?
  18. Dignics 05 vs Tenergy 05 Hard

    By the time you are good enough for t05h you would prefer d09c. Forget about that shit.
  19. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    He was not lower level than you. The sooner you lose this idea the more fun and success you will have at tournaments. There was an objective test and he won it. He may be lower rated. He may have worse technique. But he played the ball on the table more times than you could. It will be...
