  1. Is Chinese TT just going to go downhill from here?

    Yup that's exactly what I meant. Another unique aspect of table tennis is the cognitive understanding of the game. This is a generalized claim, but all our national players U18 are top academic. A girl I teach who plays as reserve nationaly, she finished Grade 12 physics in Grade 11. While...

    Omg it’s worth every penny. The last moment is electrifying! It’s probably one of the best final match in a decade.
  3. Europe Smash Sweden August 14-24 2025

    At thoese high level it's rare to guaranty who's the best. Playstyle counter each other Age matters Home ground matters Maturity and metality matter Consistency matter That's the beauty of not knowing who will win the next title. I am simply saying FZD has the mentality, tactic...
  4. help me please?

    I have played RPB for a few years. H8-80 has poor QC, cut weight can range between 48-55g. If you want to lose your wrist, go for it. Ludeack is in fact an excellent penhold blade - great feedback and control with sufficient speed. I recommend you continue using it to get your technique up to...
  5. Is Chinese TT just going to go downhill from here?

    I personally played badminton and tt intensely for some years. I also teach a lot of gen Z on a daily basis. What I've observed from pickleball, badmin and table tennis: Gen Z overall has incredibly short attention span Peer pressure and social media status has become more important than ever...

    After the Paris Olympic, FZD had not played any competition. After months of participating in TV ad etc, FZD started training just a few weeks before the Chinese super league. In stage 1, FZD won all 8 singles - beating LSD, Xu Haidong, Lin Gaoyuan etc In stage 2, FZD won all 13 singles -...

    At the end of last year Xu Xin was interviewed and said, LSD's rapid rise will hit a wall soon. He's right, it's very hard to maintain the same win rate over a long period. But it's life, LSD will learn and grow again.
  10. Is Chinese TT just going to go downhill from here?

    Being a Chinese, having more unpredictable outcomes in each tournament is just good for the sport. I love ML, XX and FZD. But back in their gold era, I just don’t bother watching anymore. It was always two Chinese playing the final. In women’s game was/is worse, you would be very very lucky...
  11. Best rubber for Long 5 BH

    I prefer normal H8 H8-80 has very poor QC H8-20 provincial has terrible review in China
  12. Differences between Sanwei Target National and Victas Triple Double Extra?

    STN is good to go straight out from the package. TDE needs a few sessions to break in STN less spinny than TDE
  13. Best rubber for Long 5 BH

    I've played 968/HL5 for quite some time, best ones in order: D09C 38-40 degree H8 TG3 39-40 J&H H52.5 non-tacky rubbers don't work well on BH. H3 on bh requires too much effort.
  14. Butterfly Zyre 03

    Togami and Harimoto got some really good results after switching to Z03 I bet the price will be >$80USD 😭

    That's the exciting part!! I was told table tennis was huge in the 1990s because you can't predict who will win the next tournament. The next champ can come from: China Sweden France Japan Korea Slovenia Taiwan Austria Germany . . . . . .
  16. Tomokzu banned? Real or fake news?

    I couldn’t find the source to verify this. I hope it’s fame It was Wang Hao who showed a sour face and gave a half hearted hand shake
  17. TESTING ZHANG JIKE'S TABLE TENNIS BAT!

    Most people would talk about the equipment. But I really like the bit @Dan mentioned. He said "if you told my 11yo self that one day i will be reviewing ZJK's blade with him, I would've laughed it off" It was a really short statement. What really is how imagination has turned into reality...

  19. How does a semi-pro make money playing TT?

    CNT is almost like a military training. No wonder they produce many world-class athlets. ZJK once said he was only allowed off 1 day a year on Chinese New Year 🧧 🤯
  20. We Challenged Olympic Champion Zhang Jike!

    Great camera angle. Very entertaining. Thanks TTD team 🔥🙏 Sadly ZJK didn’t perform a “C” shape banana flick
