  2. Is my rubber falling apart?

    I had the same thing with Xiom Vega rubbers years ago - they were crumbly. They played nice, just not durable. After that I never used Xiom so I don't know about Omega or any modern series.
  3. For those who think pips have a ceiling

    When Ni was young pips-out penhold was winning world champs and Olympics. There is this guy you may have heard of, Liu Guoliang. She never changed from that style, and why should she?
  4. Should absolute beginners take lessons or just play?

    If you become more serious about table tennis later then you will wish you had taken lessons at the very start. Tony and others said why - habits are easier to make than to break. OTOH, if you never get hooked on TT, or quit entirely, you will have saved money by skipping lessons.
  5. WTT Singapore Smash 2024 3/7-3/17

    I guess I need to VPN to Canada to watch the match?
  6. Using a Blade designed for table tennis - Why isn't everyone making the switch!?

    I once played with a Tenaly bat a guy brought to the Gunston club in Arlington VA. It was alright, felt nice. But it didn't change anything significant. I still played exactly like me. It was super nice of him to let me play with it though. That's a friendly club.
  7. Is the Clipper actually stiff?

    Yes. Everyone who says that is not lying. It’s a seven ply 6.8 mm blade. Clipper may not be faster than your IF. All else equal, you will find it much more challenging to spin with the Clipper. Hitting otoh ….

    Rasanter R53 for FH or BH? No.
  9. Recommend me a super slow control oriented setup , for someone who basically just puts everything back ?

    Your style self-description cries out for anti-spin. Cannot believe nobody recommended it yet. Dr Neubauer ABS is a frictionless anti for playing every ball back on the table. If you want a faster anti for attacking then Yasaka antipower. Or put one on each side for the dreaded double anti...

  11. JTTA: Selection System to be Revamped for Paris 2024

    Yes, this has to be the ideal result for Hirano. If she had played two matches and gone 1 - 1, it would not be as much a confidence boost as 3 - 0 WYD and then sit down to cheer for the other two.
  12. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    WMY is more fragile than CM I think, physically. Kind of like Hayata injury prone. maybe WMY won't compete much to be safer for Olympics.
  13. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    It wasn't that far really. 8 - 6 to go up 2-1, and 7 - 5 for 2 all. Anything could happen at those scores, one net or edge swings it. I'm pretty sure CM feels like it was close. She is just the perfect player to handle those situations, credit to China for putting her in the anchor match.

    Props to you NL, you never wavered from the Hirano bandwagon since 2017, no matter how she struggled at times. Belief she can win is strong from having won before, it showed today.
  15. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    Miwa is improving so fast over the last few months. Credit to her for getting it back together when she was almost crying early in the 4th. CM just doesn't panic. Ever.
  16. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    Maybe CM will bail them out of disaster. She is the best at solving problems under pressure in the women's game. exciting 3rd game now, if Miwa wins, pressure will be unbelievable on CM
