Fan Zhendong ALC is not "the one", unless you're an extremely advanced player. For most people, "the one" will be a nice, offensive, all-wood blade. Ma Lin Extra Offensive, Stiga Clipper, BTY Korbel, Tibhar Stratus Power Wood should be candidates for "the one".

You could get to 2200. You could probably get to any level that amateurs play at. It will take more effort, though. And you will need very good footwork. If you want to play jpen, I salute you -- it's the purest way to play table tennis, in my opinion🫡

Skyline 2 is better for chop-blocking, dropping the ball short, and taking the ball immediately off the bounce. Hurricane 3 is better for pushing and chopping. I say this as someone who uses both Hurricane 3 and Skyline 2

It was mostly a joke. But I think it would be really cool if he did switch to pips. The whole point is that it wouldn't actually change his playing style that much, and that pips might benefit his already-existing style. Winning isn't everything. Playing good / interesting / beautiful table...

Taiwan is an American vassal state and the US is openly using Taiwan to provoke China. This is just straight up not true. If you're talking about Tibet, that happened 75 years ago, and they liberated Tibet from a terrible feudal/slave society. Both then and today, the vast majority of Tibetans...

The US has actively sabotaged pan-Africanist movements, overthrown democratically-elected socialist leaders, and installed puppet governments so as to keep Africa weak and divided. Most recently, the US did this to Libya -- once a thriving semi-socialist society and one of the most prosperous...

^ seems like something you say when you can't deal with the fact that the West is in decline, sponsoring fascist movements on a global level, overtly committing genocide, and provoking WW3 on multiple fronts

My dude, the "democratic" countries are currently sponsoring multiple genocides as well as escalating towards world war 3

It's kinda crazy that this is your second point, given that your first point was "China is now strong enough to take revenge". Is China weak or strong? Which is it? It can't be both. China has a lot of propaganda -- like every country -- but its strength and support is not because of its...

I also have large hands and find it hard to hold smaller paddles. I've had a lot of success with Stiga blades. If you like straight handles, Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black has a nice big handle.

D05 has a softer sponge. This makes it more sensitive to incoming spin, because the incoming ball will sink into the soft sponge more than it sinks into a hard sponge.

It depends what you mean by "fast" and what you mean by "soft". As a general rule, soft rubbers are not very fast. If you want a fast rubber, it should be hard. Soft rubbers are faster than hard rubbers if you hit weakly. But if you are hitting with full strength, the hard rubbers will...

oh yeah, you have to ignore the ITTF logo lol, put it on the side that gets cut off. you'd be stupid to play with pistol grip in an official tournament anyways.

Get a partner, and have them smash the ball to you over and over

use chalk to mark the edges of the racket, put the rubber sheet on the racket, and then cut the rubber on the chalk lines

Try here. This is the one that I have and I like it a lot.

I have a pistol racket and I play with it sometimes. I wouldn't use it seriously in a tournament or anything, but it's fun to play with. The backhand attack is a dream, in my opinion. I've never been able to attack so powerfully and accurately. If my opponent gives me a topspin or empty ball...

If you're buying handshake Darker Speed 90 then it's already fake, don't worry The only real Darker Speed 90 are jpen

Darker speed 90 in right hand, golden viscaria in left hand, connected to each other at the handle like a nunchuck
