Although I am a penholder, I love collecting old blades. I especially like Stiga blades due to their relatively larger handle. But the newer Stiga allwood blades are quite disappointing. I have used Intensity NCT and Celero Wood. They have a hollow feel when looping hard despite their speed. I...

I have been wanting to ask this question for a long time but keep forgetting. After watching Harimoto's game over the last few months, I noticed his serve was poorly returned by ML, ZJK and even XX. That led to quite a significant amount of quick points. His usual serve involves a left-ward...

My EJ virus was reactivated after seeing the new Tenergy 05 HARD. So I ordered a sheet from Prott.vip :D:rolleyes: Dan has done an excellent work on unboxing. So I will skip that part. For this review, I will compare Tenergy 05 Hard (T05H) to the following rubbers I had played on my penhold...

If you are reading this post I guess you might be crazy about table tennis just like me. Just a fun survey. How many days or weeks do you need to stop playing to feel restless?

I am not sure if it is just me. I plays table tennis only once a week because I have two young kids. I train at 6am about 3-5 times a week. My wife has problem with me going to the local table tennis club weekly. Sometimes she would make up something so I can't go. If I only go once every 2-3...

I know TG2 is so ancient. After switching from H3 national blue sponge to this. I am so compelled to write this review. It is such a great rubber in the poly ball era (details below). My style - penholder with two-wing loop. 70% of my attack comes from FH. My setup: Blade - Butterfly ZJK ALC...

I play TT about once or twice a week. Sometimes none because I have two very young children. Sometimes if I don't play for a week I feel that urge to just hit the ball anywhere at home. Sometimes I watched YouTube videos to ease this dissatisfaction. Do you guys have this urge when you don't...

This must be a new blade. It looks like the new DHS N301. To me his power loop produced longer trajectory and the arc seemed lower. It makes sense for a stiffer more powerful blade. Looks like all wooden blade is dying out at the pro level. Passionate about TT

It was klmy stupidity. I bought a 2nd hand T05 which has been sitting idle for a year. I was replacing my BH rubber so I took the T05 out. The size is dramatically smaller than the blade. I knew about this issue. I should've glued the rubber onto a blade as soon as I got it. My question is...

The blade is SOLD. This is a single-ply Japanese Kiso Hinoki Cpen blade. Thickness 9mm. Those of you who have played single-ply Kiso Hinoki know these blades are no longer in production due to the severe shortage of Kiso Hinoki. Kiso Hinoki is know for its softness with slow stroke, and the...

New styled Japanese Penhold. Penhold grip as combination from Japanese and Chinese grip. G-Carbon with Japanese style and thinner ply wood make good balance. Very thin and lightweight. $70 including international shipping.

I have heard from Chinese commentators that with the new Poly ball, short game becomes more difficult: it bounces higher it goes further In my experience it is quite true. With my H3 I still returned some stupid high and long ball. One solution I have heard from a Chinese training video is...

I played with this old guy. He used a 719/Friendship Top Point rubber on his BH. When I looked at his rubber it seems slightly shiny. It's in almost new condition. I play two-wing loop with RPB. During our games, I have superior spin and speed due to my power loop. However, his BH produced...

Hi it's a shame I have never got my hand on this classic blade. I wonder if anyone has a clipper they want to get rid of. Sent from my WAS-LX2 using Tapatalk

I played the Nittaku Premium ball once. All i could say was wow. It plays even better than some 40mm balls. I heard some people say the Premium ball retains the similar speed and spin of the old 40mm balls. Is it correct? If it's true then the Premium ball sets a high bar above all other...

Recent switch to the plastic ball has encouraged speed orientex close-to-table style. Traditionally single-ply hinoki is perfect for this kind of game. IMO single-ply hinoki 10mm is equivalent to carbon composite blades, yet with much better feel and control. So why we don't see a resurgence...

In the recent WTTC it is great to see Germany, Japan and Korea have produced a few significant challenges to the Chinese domination. These countries are traditionally strong in table tennis. I wonder is there other countries where table tennis is actually becoming more popular? I know Brazil...

Have only played a few times. Too fast for me therefore needs a new owner. Sanded down to a very comfortable form. $70 USD incl international shipping

Bought nearly new from TT Daily forum. Have played only a few times. Sanded down to a very comfortable form. Still in mint condition. $130 USD incl international shipping.

Do you think the mod*ern table tennis game is becoming more and more homogenous?* What do I mean by ho*mogenous? You serve, within seconds some*one does a BH flick. It then kicks start a BH-to-BH fast ral*ly. The rest of the game goes similarly. This is especially common among the CNT SH grip...
