Hey Musaab, I'm not sure your experiment (of forcing yourself to generate more power with an all wood blade) is necessarily the best thing to do - If you get to a point where your shots are more powerful and produce more spin with that set up, you'll have to adjust the stroke all over again...

Hey Musaab, Great videos - Considering the amount of time you've been playing - It's very impressive! With the right coaching and practice, you'll improve in double quick time! All of the points that have been raised are very good, although I'd like to add a few comments: I can't work out...

Hi Tom, A few things to consider..... 1. You should absolutely be applauded for taking the time and effort to write about, and video Table Tennis as much as you do - People can criticise all they want, but until they get off their arse and do it themselves..... It's meaningless. 2. Your...

At a risk of going slightly off topic - I do absolutely love TT365. Whilst I don't know the potential conflicts involved with the people behind it all, the set up and system works great! One of the local leagues I play in, recently decided against implementing it for good, after trialling it...

Ah OK - I took from your comment about atmosphere, that you just wanted to see what the atmosphere of club matches were like! It'll be interesting to see what people post! Good job NL.

Regarding Takkyu, it's a tournament (which I'm guessing isn't what you were looking for). Also, I'm not sure many European players would be able to show the "atmosphere" you want - A hell of a lot of matches are played in single rooms with only the 6 players involved in the match in attendance...

Hi logical thinking, I won't quote your post, as it'll take an age to scroll down for others to read - But I appreciate your time and effort in going into the details. Your views are not alone - I know a few people who feel the same regarding "what are we getting for our money". Perhaps I've...

That Palio blade is recommended by a ton of coaches in the UK as a great starting point - Something that will take you through the first year for sure. As others have already mentioned - You can have all the kit in the world..... But coaching is quite literally priceless (ironic considering...

OK..... My first piece is intended for the non UK players (or players who don't know how Table Tennis in England is run). Like many other European countries, we have a very big "league" system, which all filters down from TTE (Table Tennis England). There are "Grand Prix" events on certain...

It wasn’t meant to sound quite as aggressive as it did! General technical help is great, and this forum has it in spades. The video of you playing won’t help with this specific issue you have - it will merely give people an idea of your standard, and then the advice can be tailored...

For what it's worth - I recently had some Butterfly rubbers delivered from Sweden to the UK. I don't believe shops are supposed to do this (hell.... every UK shop who sells Butterfly has to buy it from Tees Sport anyway!) But.... If you can get away with it, then great. Also, this may be...

The one massive frustration from reading through threads like this is the lack of video from the OP (USTT rating gap aside). In something so technical as TT, putting a video (any video), of your matches/practice/anything at all, will go a long way in getting useful advice! It should be...

Let's assume that everything the ITTF is doing, is an attempt to make the sport more TV friendly, and therefore earn them more money.... Unless they magically increase the playing population by millions across the world (which they won't), trying to get a decent TV deal is the only way they can...

To add to both comments....... MX-S will be better for spin - I found MX-P had a slightly lower trajectory which suited more of a power player (something you say you are trying to move away from). Also - I'd personally say H3 is great for spinny forehand loops - However, you need to get more...

HI Lermanator, As you've mentioned a few Butterfly blades, I thought I'd point you to this site (which I love), but I'm not sure many people know it's there. https://butterflyonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/BladeSpecifications.pdf It's from Butterfly, and it ranks their blades on a...

Firstly..... Great shout on the offer. Just ordered myself a couple of sheets for the New Year. The initial confusion for me, was that I changed the language to UK, but the price was still KR - When manually calculating the exchange rate, it came to £43 something. When you change the currency...

That would make more sense (his serve.... you think it's a net so return it, and raise your hand), he then smashes the 3rd shot kill. Personally, if anyone puts their hand up with good intention (because they thought it was a net serve for example), regardless of what happens afterwards...

I don't know what level you play at - But for an opponent to "smash" the return, it must have been a pretty high, slow serve! I'm guessing you meant he played an attacking shot to it? Personally, if I put my hand up to say "the ball hit the net" - On mine, or my opponents serve, I'd expect the...

Hello mate, i dont believe there there are any physical shops around there. Thorntons and Tees Sport are the biggest 2. Bribar is also big. Unfortunatley, you’ll have to mail order unless you happen to be in the area.

For what it's worth - The Garaydia ZLC has served me very well. I know it doesn't get a lot of love - Probably due to the cost and lack of "wow" factor - But I've used it for 2 years and have found it excellent. I preferred it to the Garaydia ALC I tried (I found the throw angle slightly...
