Also people have already mentioned the role of Rule 20, even if they didn't quite word it the right way. (The correct number of blades to own is n + 1). But people should not lose sight of Rule 27, which philosophically informs the discussion here, or should anyway: 27. While it is allowed...

Indeed, Carl has drunk from the Wisdom of the Table Tennis Gods. Rule 88 certainly is the source of much that is profound. In some people it can produce Visions. From that can come Wisdom (although in a few too many cases it just makes you seem whacko, but I don't see the need to give...

In that case you should just pick the one you think looks best in your budget range because in terms of play it isn't going to matter for you which one you choose..

Maybe. But I'm of the opinion that if ITTF hypothetically made a rule that tacky hard rubbers are illegal, in a few years the Chinese would produce a Tenergy using world champion. They simply care more about TT than any other country.

Its been about three years since I was last in China. So I have no idea what really new rubbers are being used. They did have some softer Chinese rubbers. I have no idea if ESN rubbers would be more popular if cheaper there. Possibly among amateur players with good jobs. And maybe that is...

Because my wife is from China, I have traveled to China many times and have played and been coached there, and I have seen how kids are taught. One thing to keep in mind is that the price of Japanese and European equipment in China is about the same as what we pay in the US in absolute terms...

My guess is they have no staff to deal with customer service.

I know the feeling. Their prices are pretty good though.

Two longstanding critiques of Dandoy is they don't contact you when something is back ordered and they are terrible at responding to email. The stuff you ordered will come. Eventually.

This says it all about this thread. https://youtu.be/I_e-RQZVwxg

I have found a lot of pretty bad sports science and nutrition studies over the years. Sometimes its because the studies are hard to do, sometimes theyre just bad. This one has limitations that make it pretty much useless TT is unquestionably hard on the back. I don't think it's because of...

Dr. Evil makes good points and he knows more about vaccine clinical trials than I do. Recruitment is always hard in certain groups, especially okder oeople. I just hope these trials have sufficient statistical power. His last sentence is pretty much how I feel about this upon thin,ing about...

Many problems with this study: It is small. Crucially, there is no control group ( age matched athletes in a different more symmetrical sport or non athletes). It is only women. None of the asymmetry parameters are considered in relationship to whether pain is present or not, or with...

We could suppose this but I would not believe it in the absence of reliable data demonstrating it, key words being reliable and data.

NL, Based on my somewhat limited knowledge, i would say these critiques are absolutely valid, and the people writing them are experts (William Haseltine was a heavy hitter in the world of pharmacology for a long time). The information in those Forbes pieces is new to me and I'm actually quite...

T05 both sides. Keep it classic.

Frodo and Sam will have to throw the rubber into Mount Doom to save us all.

I doubt the rubber they use is why they win.

Too bad it failed. Would have pumped life into TT forums.

You have to stay close to the table!
