  1. Head shape of a blade: Does it matter?

    I have seen some blades have broader rounder face while some are slimmer or more oval. My question being, does the head shape matter?
  2. How does a semi-pro make money playing TT?

    If I may, please satisfy my curiosity: 1. I am targeting this question specifically to those pro or semi-pro players who say play regularly at WTT event in the lesser known series like Contender / Feeder or those who play in the Qualifying Round but does not make it to the main drawn. Yes...

  4. gewo rubber

    Just curious; why isn't Gewo more popular? It is hardly mentioned. Is it because: 1. it is a new kid on the block? 2. Poor marketing? 3. Lack of sponsorship? 4. Nothing special about their product? Another ESN clone. Meh!
  5. Another EJ thread... with some twist

    Hi fellow good members of this wonderful and spectacular community, Not asking for myself but helping a fellow club member. 1. Inquirer is a fairly advanced veteran player with provincial wins in the past. He uses J-Pen Darker Speed 90 with Tenergy / Dignics and no rubber on the BH side. He...

    USDC & NL: Two of the strongest proponent of slow and steady wins the race theorist when it comes to TT equipment. Guys, there is no major TT tourney for me for the next couple of months and it is time for some experimentation. I brought out from my drawer my long time unused Darker Speed 90...
  7. Best Adam Bobrow's video to date!!!

    This is arguably the best Adam's video to date. Kudos to Adam. I am thoroughly entertained. Best quote ever: Alexis to Felix brotherly advise, " Adam employs two strategies: Sometimes he hit the net. Sometime he hit the edge. " Felix responded, " I understand " 🤣🤣🤣
  8. all roads lead to Rome...

    Listen up folks, I know you love EJing. I get it. But let's get real, whatever you do, whatever you try, if you stay in TT long enough you'll eventually use Tenergy or Dignics. It is inevitable. Resistance is futile... So just get Tenergy and save you all the grief. The Rock approves 🫡
  9. I've graduated.

    So yesterday my coach said, " Gozo, what you need to learn I have all taught you all that you need to learn. What is stopping you from going further or higher level is lack of practice and lack of tourney exposure. The rest is up to you. " I guess this means I have completed the theory part and...

  12. Want to watch Albino Unicorn?

    :ROFLMAO: Pardon for the click-bait. But I am not too far from the truth. To see Malaysian TT National Team in international action is akin to watching albino unicorn, i.e., they are rare. However, I am happy to present them in action during the WTT Feeder @ Antalya, Turkey. Enjoy. For this...
  13. Speed glue / tensor = same thing?

    I wish to find out does ESB / tensor technology mimics speed glue effect? Are they the same or do they have different properties? I'll use Donic Acuda series as an example. In its product packaging, it states rubber with in-built speed glue effect where as newer Donic series does not state so...

  16. Latest TTD & Dima video

    First off, a massive thank to Dan of TTD for doing this up close and personal video with Dima: My absolute fav player from the Eurozone. My comment: 1. I did notice how relaxed and in-control Dima is when transitioning between FH & BH. It felt like he has all the time in the world to...
  17. Rubber throw angle topic again.

    Hi all, I would like to revisit this topic again. If I understand correctly, for someone who play mainly loopy topspin style, he would prefer a higher throw angle rubber. If a player who prefers a more flattish aka driving counter-hitting style, he would benefit from a lower throw angle...
  18. Kanak Jha

    Kanak is a USA professional TT player. I am not a fan of him and seldom notice him until by chance I viewed this video. I am impressed and the video made me take notice. He is not a powerful all out attacking style player and his style is what I would called a controlled offensive player. His...
  19. Tactics ( Asian vs Euro )

    OK here goes, let me be the first to start a trend to talk something more engaging ( hopefully ) that is not focus on equipment. I got this observation while following the WTT Muscat, Oman event and I'd notice there are two very distinct tactics at play there, generalization not withstanding...
