  1. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I typically do a packet of LiquidIV the night before a tournament and a carb source + LiquidIV during tournaments. The issue I'm having is when there's like a long break in between my matches and my body goes ice cold. If I make it to the bracket of my division in a Giant RR, my day will look...
  2. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Happy New Year! Looking forward to 2026 and trying to work out my own goals. Hit a huge plateau in results, but not in my skillset in the back half of 2025. A lot of it was just being overloaded by options with where I am developing and trying to think through every shot, which in turn slowed...
  3. I just created a Youtube channel on my journey to pro!

    Both of you have really good full table forehand loops. You have great technique on your backhand loop as well to where I can see you being more confident in it in future matches. Winning against a >2000 player is no joke from where I stand. Good luck to you on your journey. Keep developing...
  4. xiang peng bh rubber

    I've started to use the C52.5 for the backhand. The break-in period takes a while for me, I prefer when the topsheet starts to soften up on the C series for outer carbon. Blocking feels really stable on the backhand. I have a sheet of max C55 on forehand and switching the two seems like the 52.5...
  5. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    Looks a bit uncanny. If table tennis had top level players that looked like that, we'd be getting that Fashion show money pouring in.
  6. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    It was roughly $65-70 here in the US, but I wait for a sale on TableTennis11 and buy a few sheets. Comes to about $45/sheet (~40 Euros). I used to play with the Vega Pro/Euro when I started, but I like the feel of the J&H C series. Mainly joked about the price because Hugo won a major with...

    Maybe the C55 and C52.5 will be cheaper if he leaves :ROFLMAO:
  8. New Format - Team Preview of ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2025,

    If I have it right, the second round of groups will have each team playing each other, except for their first group opponent, so that means there are 5 more matches of at least for each country? I almost panicked cause I thought the results were match based, not games based. You get off to a bad...
  9. TTD Team Spin Challenge With WORLD CHAMPION!

    Great video like always! Also wanted to checkout Spinsight for a while, but I am an Android user :(. I have a compatible Android, so I'm looking to beta test as well. Looking at the design of the phone post holder, is there a specific angle that you recommend setting the camera? I want to...
  10. Help with technique and match analysis

    I would 100% record all of my matches if I had that quality!
  11. Help with technique and match analysis

    Now I want whatever camera your opponent uses. That looked so cinematic.
  12. Zyre 03 Rubber Review with Dimitrij Ovtcharov!

    Is the throw angle on the Z03 very high? It reminds me of the throw from Rakza Z, but the tackiness of the Z compensates for the throw.
  13. ITTF Pan American Championships 2025 (12 - 19 October 2025)

    I wish there were more supporters in the stands. Would have been cool if they were able to play directly in Charlotte.
  14. Viewership numbers

    I think accessibility is the main barrier to entry, at least in the US. Table tennis is casual friendly, as long as you have a table around. There's so much variability in the sport that I can see it being intimidating for someone to come in and just get frustrated not being able to return a...
  15. How to get the upper hand in bh-bh exchanges?

    As someone who also struggles with BH-BH, what I've noticed that helps me is to: 1. Try to take the pace off the ball and have a more shallow depth on the table just to help me with my timing. In general, just get the opponent to move. When this fails, 2. I back off the table if I notice more...
  16. Xiom new collection (2025)

    O8C durability is definitely poor. I had a lot of issues with it after 2 months. C55, I can get around 3-4 months usage for 4-5 days a week, but as soon as the topsheet goes, it's time to change. The rubber does feel inconsistent from sheet to sheet in terms of grip.
  17. Steve Dainton: "We want our athletes to earn what they deserve, but..."

    They don't have the money to hire me :ROFLMAO: I see for tennis majors, they interview the players right before they come out. That may be too extreme of a case to do it right before the match. Money is the biggest issue and I'm not sure what their profit margins are year over year. I can...
  18. Steve Dainton: "We want our athletes to earn what they deserve, but..."

    Give me a WTT Club World Cup (or Champions/Europa League) tournament series for clubs all over the world. Split off some of the tournaments and focus more on a group event. If they don't want to do the series, then have the domestic teams go up against each other, then top X teams from each...
