  1. What playing style am I ? Genuine question

    Hello everyone, I know it might be a strange or even stupid question but I wish to hear your opinion about it. I play against young boys in my club a lot (from 12-17 years old, really good players, all high ranking in Poland in their respective age groups. They like playing with me, many say...
  2. What are some cool newer rubbers on aliexpress to test?

    Don't know what you mean by 'newer' rubbers but I've tested few of chinese aliexpress rubbers. I'd recommend : DF Volant Phoenix, Yinhe Big Dipper, Yinhe Moon Blue 12 for FH Yinhe Moon Medium Hard for BH Sanwei Target Pro 3 for both, I guess :)
  3. Young player seeking help

    From what I read, you have a simiilar style to me (slowing down the game, allround-style game, countering when able). If I could recommend a good combo (at least what is good for me and is not expensive) : Blade - 729 Friendship Yellow ALC (I know it is a 5-ply +2 ALC, but its feel and control...
  4. New Andro NUZN 48 and 45

    Andro planning to replace Rasanter R and V series with NUZN ?
  5. How to beat someone when I’m not playing my best?

    For me, at least, advice I was given when I was a teenager and was angry after losing points or edges/nets during rallies, whether against better or 'worse' opponents, was : 'Let it go, don't think about last point, reset your mind.' If you linger on last point while playing new rally, your...
  6. Double Fish Volant-Phoenix

    I use it (39 degree, black colour version) on my 729 Friendship Blue ALC blade. First of all...strange sound when contacting the ball. Does not matter to me that much, but I've never heard a sound like that. Suprisingly, lot of control even with faster FH topspins. For me, someone whose FH is...
  7. Is D09C the ultimate, the holy grail of rubber?

    Considering its price (390 PLN here) is more than both of my current setups COMBINED.....I will pass on that one. Also, I am not at the level to use it properly anyway :P
  8. ❓What Is Your Setup, and WHY?

    I have 2 racquets at the moment, one with Japanese rubbers and Swedish blade and other with all Chinese brands :) Using the latter at the moment. 1) Stiga Azalea Offensive (OFF- 5-ply wooden blade) with Nittaku Fastarc C-1 on FH and Nittaku Fastarc S-1 for backhand. I used Stiga OFF- all-wood...
  9. Long pimple recommendations

    I am just beginning to use LP and I am using Yinhe Neptune with 0.7 mm sponge on my Loki Kirin K2 blade. Chops are not difficult to make even for a beginner like me and it blocks well on the table too :).
  10. Post your latest EJ purchase

    So.....went on a bit of shopping spree on Aliexpress. Seeing as getting Stiga Banda Offensive FL probably won't happen, I ordered some stuff from chinese brands, mostly Yinhe and 729. I am positively suprised by the quality and didn't test most of them yet but list is below :p Rubbers : - Yinhe...
  11. Your set-up when you were a 1300 level player?

    I do not know what 1300 level means fully, but I assume it is end of beginner and beginning of intermediate territory ? I think it was about 10-12 years ago for me. If so, my setup was probably something like : Blade : Andrzej Grubba ALL+ (old one, with green-white coloured handle) Forehand ...
  12. Ma Long became a vice president of the CTTA

    Not everyone who was a great player can be a great coach/executive figure. Pressure can be too much. Wishing both the best, though Awesome to see my favourite Chinese player become the president of CTTA.:)
  13. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Went to training today. 2 hours + some games later. I think I am slowly getting back into form, although my forehand still leaves much to be desired....I am just NOT able to win a point with powerful forehand topspin, just backhand one. Majority of points I scored in matches tonight were from...
  14. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    So.... went up to watch the last match of Polish TT Superleague in the neighbouring city (my city's team was playing against them). Sadly, they lost 1-3 but because of victory in their previous match, they managed to avoid relegation to the lower tier before the match so they could play with...

    Not to mention in boxing it is far more common for orthodox fighters to fight in southpaw stance to get the advantage of stronger jab, for one.
