  1. Do rubbers really 'break in'?

    From my experience: T05 - was too fast first 2-3 training sessions or like 4-5 days (or maybe ~10 hours if that was more important), then it was ok for ~7 weeks. I'm sure that there was speed drop in initial period, which slows down after first week, not only my adjustment to it. Acuda S1, Hexer...
  2. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Easely. For example: 1) coach sends ball 3-5 times (you never know how many) to the left, one to the right 2) push from random side, then loop from another side, then pure random etc.

  5. TTD Equipment reviews

    Why don't you consider an option to try different equipment and engage coach at the same time?😁
  6. Damaged new blades from Dandoy

    Ignoring my e-mail was the main reason why I started ordering from tt11, rather than dandoy in recent years. As I understand it is an ordinary situation for dandoy
  7. Competition: How should I approach it?

    In short: if you trust your coach, do what he says :) Now long version: It depends. If you want to win now and don't care what will happen later, then do what ever gives you points: if this is one aggressive move, then do it. If it is something safe and passive - then go with it. But probably...
  8. Butterfly Quality Broken blade after 20 hours of play

    I would replace question 2 with statement that blade is 5 years old, does he really expect some support/replacement from butterfly for a 5 years old blade?
  9. No progress

    either you trust your coach or you should look for another one table tennis is not something that significantly changes every training, you need some time and patience to accumulate those micro changes into something bigger. start making videos of you trainings and competition games, then...
  10. Offensive players do you prefer inner or outer carbon and why?

    18-20 years ago I blindly chosen Timo Boll Spirit as my next blade (wanted to switch from all wood to carbon one). I didn't think about whether it is inner or outer or any other characteristics, except it being faster than my previous blade. I don't think that I'll be able to switch to something...
  11. How long do rubbers stay grippy for?

    Tried that some time ago, could prolong rubber life for around a week, then I was realizing that it still doesn't work for me and had to change rubbers.
  12. How long do rubbers stay grippy for?

    I don't know how to describes it. Lets say that it becomes softer, gives mushy feel, like you play with a pillow or cotton wool. Besides I don't like how it feels, it also gives me additional inconsistency in power loops forcing me to reduce power and change my stroke
  13. How long do rubbers stay grippy for?

    It all depends on multiple factors. I don't remember changing rubber due to lost of grip. But when I used to play 4-6 times a week, I've been changing rubbers every 2-3 month due to changes in sponge, rather then in topsheet. 100-120 hours of play, I guess.
  14. Players lost the option to change sponge on the sandwich rubbers. T4 revision.

    1) poster is igorponger 2) no link to a source 3) Google doesn't find this article 4) image has watermark "novick 2021" which is definitely not ittf Yes, it is a joke, never treat info from igorponger seriously
  15. Help needed: How to deal with soft / no spin / minimal spin short ball

    1. Flick to some not very expected place, so you don't get powerful attack back, but something you can deal with 2. Push short until you or your opponents get long ball and initiate attack 3. Push not very short, so it won't be easy for your opponents to return short 4. Push short with some...

  18. Lifespan of the blades

    I played with Timo Boll Spirit for around 15 years. One day I felt weird vibration: top layer separated from alc layer at couple of places. I guess, it was possible to repair it somehow, but I decided to reolace it with a new blade.
