  1. Does training in the basement make sense?

    You clearly answered your own question but even serve and return requires some space. how small is the basement we are talking about?
  2. new long pips (igor, don't click on this link - stay away!)

    It looks like a dog grooming brush 😅
  3. Which serve is the one you least want to receive?

    Same as well, underspin + side reverse serve on fh makes my wrist most awkward position. I guess Harimoto flicks 😅 (I wish I can do too) Right right, I also tend to receive late with weak backhand :D Yes, oftenly I react late to fast underspin and don’t have a time to make enough backswing...
  4. With which rubber should I attack?

    Attack with both rubbers, h3 from FH, 888 on Bh is more common, but it’s liking, you can try both option.
  5. Which serve is the one you least want to receive?

    The title states but I guess the most of people should have some serve types and/or placements is less favorable as receiver, what is yours? Ps: for just curiosity 🙂 I couldn’t find poll option
  6. Racket unchanged

    Most likely these people are using Viscaria/tb alc + tenergy + tenergy (or h3)
  7. Racket unchanged

    My longest streak is almost 1 year, it’s because 3+1 rubber discount 🥲
  8. Tenergy 19

    It seems like rozena but probably due to light and camera.
  9. What the H3LL did I get myself into this time....

    Bit out of topic but Could you add ghost serve to your tactics for this tournament? https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/why-dont-pros-just-do-serve-that-comes-back-to-their-side.34140/ So this topic might be resolved 😅 For two-wing looper issue, my mere opinion, you should pursue that...
  10. what is speed and booster glue?

    1- put speed glue to your gym bag 2- go to table tennis club 3- take out rubbers, apply generous amount speed glue 4- thin layer on blade 5- wait a little not much 6- stick rubbers to blade 7- wait a couple minutes 8- enjoy amazing sound, spin, speed, feeling (and smell) If you want more...
  11. Why don't Pro's just do serve that comes back to their side?

    Maybe this one? Or these, not returning and ends up to the net
  12. Why don't Pro's just do serve that comes back to their side?

    Opponent can still hit ball at red circle position to sides which would be impossible to counter. I think doing decent ghost serve is harder than stepping in from sides and hit. Pro’s are stepping to short forehand side, and doing super fast backhand flip to ball that even lower than net...
  13. Thinking about switching to DHS Hurricane 3

    H3 doesn’t need bigger movements, it needs stronger acceleration or just more power. Bigger movements isn't always good, actually except when you are not far away from table or applying finisher shot. So seeing Chinese pro's in match is not good example, actually they have very compact strokes...
  14. What forehand rubber should i use?

    No rubber can give you the control, on contrary a rubber challenges you and takes out the control from you, so less responsiveness, speed and spin -> more control, vice versa. So if you like flat hits, majority of hybrid and Chinese rubbers can fall out of our scope. tenergy, fastarc, dignic...
  15. What forehand rubber should i use?

    It seems good upgrade but if you write what you like in rozena and what you expect from a new rubber (even what you can sacrifice), it would be easier and accurately to recommend. Even though dozens of rubbers might be candidate. G1 might be bit heavier than rozena, and definitely harder. For...
  16. Beginner looking to build a solid racket

    You may just buy your original setup, it's not wrong. As long as they are not super fast or super dead. they will be your first rubbers but they won't be your last rubbers :D The point is just developing technique and adapting equipments to your technique, not otherwise, not adapting your...
  17. Beginner looking to build a solid racket

    yes, I would recommend softer BH rubber, also I may recommend softer FH rubber too for beginner/intermediate. I'm trying to say, majority of rubbers are fine to use on FH, up to a certain level which covers majority of players. Gatekeeping is not needed, some players can benefit more from...
  18. Beginner looking to build a solid racket

    Nope, it’s fine to play with same kind of rubbers, just personal taste of preference. Many pro’s have been used double tenergy for years, now dignics 09c and some d05. Of course, general preference hard + spinier on fh, soft faster on bh. (Me too) But many many players even in national...
  19. Any attempt to play in an competitive environment ruins this sport for me (rant)

    I also like training waay more than competition, but somehow eventually clubs encourage players to compete. I can imagine that club authorities would like to see more people in competition, and have success. And also being in competition makes more bounding with club and others, and...
