To me, provided you are using rubbers with similar characteristics, it makes no difference whatsoever. Now, if you are using pips/anti on one side and inverted on the other, that's another can of worms... and it's basically the reason why the two colours became mandatory. Anyway, the easiest...

Shyte, Stiga is publishing new rules we didn't know about: "Rule #3: Scoring In table tennis, players compete to win games, sets, and matches." "Rule #4: How To Play Doubles Table tennis can be played in doubles, with two players on each side of the table. In doubles, the serving and receiving...

The more one reads and the more it gets surreal... the posts about the backhand serve and racket choice, in particular, are truly "gem-status" worthy, with great quotes such as: "It is essential to choose the right rubber type and thickness to suit your game. Smooth rubber offers a good balance...

Here's a quote from the Stiga site: "Reverse Penhold Backhand If you're looking to improve your backhand stroke, the Reverse Penhold Backhand grip may be worth trying. This grip style is popular in Asian countries and involves holding the paddle with your thumb and middle finger on one side of...

I dare anyone to try and replicate what's written in the "reverse penhold backand" grip section! Pics or it didn't happen!

You must have been distracted by the video, it's clearly stated at the beginning of OP's post... 😜 By the way, what club is that @Jackcerry_ ? It was great fun to watch, though I'm not sure as to how fun it was to play! :ROFLMAO:

It must have been tough for Hayata to lose in front of her home crowd in Kitakyushu. She didn't look like she fully recovered from her injury and I think she might have rushed her recovery to be able to make the event... Sadly for her, it didn't work out in her favor. Szocs played a good game...

For sure! The FZD thingy with Stiga was at least handled in a more subtle fashion... this look much more obvious to me. I must admit, though, that I actually have no clue about the terms in the contract between player and brand. I just think that, unless GEWO releases an AJH blade and/or rubbers...

I really struggle to understand why any brand would spend money on a deal like this... What I perceive, as a customer, is a pro and brand ambassador telling me that his brand's equipment is not good enough for him, so why would I spend my money on that brand instead of what said pro is actually...

Yup, I agree this is quite ridiculous according to current serving rules... I thought refs were trying to catch the most offensive serve infractions this tournament, but it looks like the reviewing period is over after just two days? I'm actually disappointed that the trend displayed in the...

Look, I don't want to start a big discussion here, but it looks to me like you are bending the facts around your narrative... calls were not made out of nowhere and all players were warned for their serves (even though maybe for another particular reason) before being faulted. If the reason...

Why though? The umpires are (finally) trying to do their job and limit illegal/irregular serves... should they not do it because it's 10-10? Does the score influence the legality of the serve?

Should we talk about going all the way to China, just to play your SISTER in the first round of quali?! :ROFLMAO:

That's not the point of his answer... He meant to say that the article has no credible sources whatsoever and that it's very likely to be completely fabricated for political reasons.

Thanks a lot! Penholders unite, i suppose? 😜

Well, those are quite hard to understand for me... And the translator doesn't seem to be of much help in clarifying, as it messes up lot of words! Thanks anyway, appreciate the input!

Could you share some links? I'd love to watch some of his lessons!

I suggest you read what you responded to again... "Truls is the third" implies he is only the third european player to win silver at the olympics, it doesn't mean he has three silver medals of his own! 😜

Some of the latest posts clearly show that this forum is severely lacking some moderation... It seems really incredible to me that hateful speech and similar remarks are left alone without any kind of warning or intervention...

I may look like a newish user, but I've been reading the forum daily for years. It's not like I don't know what I'm talking about and Zeio definetly needs some interaction, from time to time, on his absolute and godly statements (as you rightfully seem to be doing as well)...
