Its a great blade. Works wit almost any rubber Great feel, fast enough. Not too fast. Not just popular in China. And some other blades very much like it are also popular, like TB ALC.

If you're trying to choose between a Viscaria and a TB ALC the only thing that really matters is how it feels in your hand. The handles are a little bit different. The only way you're going to be able to tell which you prefer is by actually holding the blades. Perhaps people at a club where you...

Great news!

In my old club we used to have Tibhar 28 mm tables. They were great (until they got kind of messed up with age and heavy use and abuse). In trips to China I often experienced low end DHS tables. They have a very slick surface by comparison, almosr like glass. The ball seemed to slide more...

Hope it all come back soon. What is a martial arts breathing exercise consist of?

Definition of a good serve in TT: Any serve that produces a weak return. In contrast to tennis, we don't serve aces. It is all about deception. That is the thing that has to be front and center. So what are the skills you need to be able to make your serve deceptive? We should discuss...

Yes, here maybe you would take a PCR in 7 to 10 days. In any case, you are way past the time when IVM could have helped. Even advocates of IVM say it is for the earliest stages of Covid-19.

A few earlier reports suggested showed some promise very early in the infection (as soon as people showed symptoms), but later studies with more people and better controls showed no effect. Also it won't do you any good at this stage. You've been to the hospital, improved, and are now at home...

Yogi, in case you're interested, the infectious disease people where I teach say that people who have had the virus probably only need a single shot of vaccine to get the maximum effect. The available data on Covid-19 (and SARS before it) is most people will have reasonably robust jmmunity if...

A really important thing to keep in mind is that more and more and more spin is not always better. The thing you need to be able to do is to VARY the amount of spin but not allowing the opponent to see that you are doing that. In other words, the motions must be as close to identical as...

Yogi, hopefully you will have a steady path to recovery. Sadly, some people have a strange post-Covid syndrome that can last indefinitely. I hope our TTD forum members are still doing everything they can to avoid this. By now you all know what you have to do (and if you choose not to...

Yogi, I want to echo Dr. Evil. It's good you are talking about this. Also documenting your path to recovery might help some people too. Sometimes I doubt whether Dr Evil is actually evil.

Good sign that you're walking and thinking about playing! Hopefully you can taste your food. Also, you will have lost some muscle fitness from so much lying down, but it will come back.

Also Yogi, if you've got the energy to do it, please keep us posted on how you get on.

Get well Yogi. This has to be tough.

Both mater a lot and in my experience equally. But rubbers and blades don't have to cost as much as Tenergy to be good.

If there are bugs in my house can I report it?

I will probably like it. I like rubbers that have almost no pips at all, like Stiga Mantra. I wish there was a Tenergy like that.

Closest I found was Donic True Carbon.

This is not correct. ALC is a cross weave of carbon fibers (not graphite) and Vectran. Vectran and Kevlar have quite a few similarities (they are both liquid crystal polymers with a property of damping vibrations) but graphite and carbon fibers are quite different (even though graphite is in...
