  1. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Erm, I think if you are going to post as a "coach", you'd need evidence to back that up. I know a lot of "coaches" who are simply that by name - They have taken an official course, and earned the title of coach. But they may be a very very low level coach, dealing with juniors - Perhaps they...
  2. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I absolutely agree that good players don't always make good coaches, and good coaches might be poor players. However...... We don't have many coaches on these forums - Those that are, are verified (Tony for example). Which leaves the people who are happy to have video of their level online...
  3. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    1 million percent this........ There needs to be some kind of gauge of what level you are at. Personally, I think it should be mandatory if you want to comment on technicals aspects of the game (rather than things like pro players etc). Even "equipment talk" needs to be benchmarked - Someone...
  4. Forum format

    OK, another question for the forum regulars. How do you have it set up to view threads? If I have "newest first", I have to scroll down to wherever the conversation left off from (or the last post I read). If I go for "oldest first", it keeps putting me back at the first post/page and I have...
  5. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Well, I do love a good unscientific TT thread...... From my experience...... My right arm/side is stronger - But that doesn't seem to be associated with Table Tennis, and more to do with being right handed etc. How much of an impact TT makes to that, I can't be sure. What I do know is that...
  6. Butterfly release Tomokazu Harimoto New Blade

    Well, no one will have played with the TH ALC because it isn't out yet. But it looks to be identical to the Innerforce ALC, so that's probably a good comparison.
  7. Butterfly release Tomokazu Harimoto New Blade

    Oh, possibly a language barrier in there - Apologies if it came across wrong. I think it's impossible to give advice to someone without video evidence. Unless people are asking specific equipment questions (what's the difference between T05 and MXP for example). Video, video, video!
  8. Butterfly release Tomokazu Harimoto New Blade

    If you are training 4 hours per day, I'd imagine you have a coach? Probably best to see what they say to be honest. If you wanted to stay in the EVO range, you could try EL-P, which isn't a huge step down from MX-P, but it's a little softer and will offer more control. But without seeing you...
  9. Butterfly release Tomokazu Harimoto New Blade

    Is there any video of you online? Generally speaking, an advanced player would be OK with most set ups. If you are looking to tweak little things to get it right, the only way you'll truly know if it suits you is by trying it. But from the looks of it, there won't be much difference between...
  10. Butterfly release Tomokazu Harimoto New Blade

    I'd definitely get a slower, softer rubber. MX-P sounds like the issue here, not the blade.
  11. Butterfly release Tomokazu Harimoto New Blade

    Probably the least helpful response I've seen. If you don't like something, why not just ignore it? The OP was asking for advice on the blade, not a lecture in your opinions towards Butterfly.
  12. Butterfly release Tomokazu Harimoto New Blade

    Really? Why didn't I know this..... Everyday is a school day! No idea on the wood make up yet - Butterfly wouldn't tell me.
  13. Butterfly release Tomokazu Harimoto New Blade

    Hi Morv, There's a few things to consider. What's your current level? What do you like about the W968? What do you dislike about it? There will be a difference as the Harimoto is an Innerforce blade (meaning the carbon layers are closer to the core), where as the W968 has the carbon layers...
  14. Starting youtube channel?

    People are FAR more likely to subscribe if you have a lot of content. Making 1 video and expecting people to subscribe won't work - You want them to click on your profile and see you've done loads of others as well. As for whether you are on screen or not, you'll soon get used to it - It helps...
  15. Starting youtube channel?

    Hey Lula, Firstly - Absolutely start with a smartphone for a camera - Just get some sort of tripod for it to keep it steady. If you are talking to the camera up close, the sound will probably be OK (depending on the hall you are in) - If you are far away, you might want some sort of external...

    Why does it look like he has a tiny bat? haha!
  17. New Butterfly rubber "Dignics 05" 2019

    I'm surprised they didn't put Dignics up at 10 for everything to justify the cost - Although they've got pretty close!
  18. New Butterfly rubber "Dignics 05" 2019

    Yeah, I've already got a new sheet of T05H and T05 at home - I usually get Tees Sport to make up the bat if I'm ever ordering a new one (they always do it much better than I can! The "ratings" are completely bogus. How can they give it a 7.5 in control?? It feels like they rate their...
  19. New Butterfly rubber "Dignics 05" 2019

    Just goes to show how laughable Tees Sports "ratings" are - They haven't even got the blade to test out yet, and we know it's virtually identical to the Innerforce ALC! It's ridiculous. The £15 discount is also fake IMO - I don't know where they get their "RRP" prices from, but if you look at...
  20. England Senior Nationals March 1-3

    The draw is out on Thursday. No idea if it’s being live-streamed.
