  1. Why do Zhang Jikes Movements Look so clean?

    I was lucky enough to see Zhang Jike live in Rotterdam for the world championships in 2011. The set of legs (especially upper legs > quadriceps) that had could be compared to fast ice skaters or prof-cyclists. Impressive!
  2. Anyone play with a total knee replacement?

    Yes, of course, it all depends a bit on your age how everything evolves.
  3. Anyone play with a total knee replacement?

    I have 2 of these. The one on my left knee was set on 1st of December 2008, the other on my right knee on 14 February 2010. From the left one we rehabbed from December so until September 2009. From the right one so from February and in September 2010 we started playing again table tennis. So my...
  4. Looking for a small handle blade

    Many Andro blades have a thin handle.
  5. Anders Lind discussing illegal serves

    I maintain, for me rule 2. 6.4 remains the culprit with many current top players you see much less in lower series. The cause of these illegal services is allowing you to line up next to the table. Ban this and this illegal service already becomes much harder to make. You can see this clearly...
  6. Changing from offense to defense: Short or long pimples?

    If you like getting on people's nerves I recommend Wobbler...:ROFLMAO:
  7. Are there any blue colored hybrid rubbers?

    At the above-mentioned Contra from Germany. (But they are not yet available). But maybe easier for you: Gewo VSport (But also, they are not available here).
  8. ETTU European Olympic Singles Qualification 2024

    In my opinion, not possible as that rubber is still valid at least until 30 June.
  9. Chinese girl fans in every single tournament

    Chinese are found everywhere, including Saudi Arabia e.g. With a population of over 100,000 Mandarin Chinese, there will always be 100 to be found who want to support their compatriots.
  10. ETTU European Olympic Singles Qualification 2024

    Gionis Panagiotis (44) has qualified for the Paris Olympics for the sixth time. In a very enjoyable match, he was the better one against Wang Yang. https://www.ettu.tv/en-int/video/video/1744416
  11. Are there any blue colored hybrid rubbers?

    I would take a look at the new Gewo Inventus XP Pro. It is available in blue.
  12. ETTU European Olympic Singles Qualification 2024

    Anna too! From 0-3 to 4-3!!!

  14. Im losing faith in the sport

    Not nice to hear. Try to get outside as much as possible. Take walks under the Greek sun and drink lots of water. Try to maintain your contacts with your teammates in your club at least 2, 3 times a week, with or without training sessions, e.g. just giving or receiving services.
  15. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Kind of ridiculous right that it was closed? !!!
  16. Rakza 7 Soft Alternatives

    As mentioned above, an Andro Hexer Grip SFX is a very, very excellent soft rubber, though a little harder than the R7S. The Xiom Vega Europe mentioned by Tony is also an excellent choice as a softer rubber. But what you should definitely have a look at is the Gewo Hype XT Pro 40.0, just slightly...
  17. Sweaty Hands :(

    You could fit a piece of inner tube from a bicycle over your handle. If this is still not enough, you can still rub the rubber and your hand with talc.
  18. why wait to dry the glue?

    I have never wet glued before. What I do is give my rubber and wood a different gluing direction. I glue my rubbers along (from bottom to top) and I glue the wood crosswise (from left to right). That way you get a more homogeneous and flat composition.
  19. Fitness Workout for Table Tennis

    I did not know the website/man but Zhang Jike's images say it all. I was able to "admire" these "live" in 2011 in Rotterdam and I must admit they were impressive. Should I make a top 3 of solid leg muscles I would say top ice skaters, top cyclists and top table tennis players.
  20. Why no one plays Butterfly Tamca 5000 blades

    Indeed, I unfortunately sold mine too, years ago.
