  2. New Butterfly ALC Blade Designs

    Hi Hazza, The Garaydia ZLC I bought earlier this year had it too. I believe it's to try and combat the counterfeit products out there.
  3. Is Ma Long's lame Olympic Celebration any good for the sport?

    Lol, fair enough, you are disappointed with his celebration. I'm not sure "is it bad for the game?", is an appropriate question - It sounds a bit too over dramatic :)
  4. Is Ma Long's lame Olympic Celebration any good for the sport?

    Are you serious? Not sure if the joke is lost in translation or you are being genuine....... Either way...... Is it bad for the sport? Er.... No. No it's not.
  5. Post 40+, the highway to Quadri Aruna?

    I see where you are going with that, and I understand your thinking (even if it is very flawed) - If that were the case, the small Chinese players wouldn't stand a chance against the more athletic power houses out there. I personally don't think the poly ball has improved Aruna's chances a huge...
  6. Post 40+, the highway to Quadri Aruna?

    Sorry Slym - I definitely confused you with the author - I saw the French flag and just assumed (slightly awkward given the racist comments on this thread lol!). We all need to chill out, remember English isn't most people's first language, and just bloody get on with each other for the sake of...
  7. Post 40+, the highway to Quadri Aruna?

    Not at all - I think we should be discussing the effectiveness of his technique. If you feel it's inferior, then that is entirely your own opinion - No one can stop you from having one :) My point was more the fact you mentioned about him being "African", and basing your argument on that. As...
  8. Post 40+, the highway to Quadri Aruna?

    Perhaps this is more an "Aruna" thing, than an "African" thing. I agree with a lot of what you have said about his technique being "different" - I wouldn't call it inferior - Inferior techniques don't get to the quarter finals of the Olympics. Ask yourself this - If Aruna was a...
  9. FS: BLACK TAG Schlager Carbon - NO Serial Number

    Ohh la la - The fabled Butterfly Black Tag rears it's head again! I had 2 of these - Both almost identical. I sold 1 when I bought the Garaydia ZLC, and now I'm selling the 2nd as I'm happy with the Garaydia ZLC. I'll not do what Butterfly do and increase the price every month, so I'll sell...
  10. Rio Olympics 2016 (Singles Event)

    As Michael Buffer would say. "WE ARE LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE" on BBC......
  11. Rio Olympics 2016 (Singles Event)

    Luckily we have excellent commentary to make up for it..... Oh wait.......
  12. Rio Olympics 2016 (Singles Event)

    The BBC Website is so slow to load the coverage. Same happened earlier today. It's still not on.
  13. Tenergy 64

    4 out of 5 rating for Tenergy 64 I've been playing with Tenergy 64 on the Backhand for a year now. It's an excellent rubber for the punch blocking and blocks in general, as it doesn't absorb the spin as much as other rubbers. However, it is lacking in high quality spin away from the table -...

  15. Tenergy 64

    Review by 'NDH' on item 'Tenergy 64'

    I've been playing with Tenergy 64 on the Backhand for a year now. It's an excellent rubber for the punch blocking and blocks in general, as it doesn't absorb the spin as much as other rubbers. However, it is lacking in high quality spin away from the table - For this, Tenergy 05 is the much...
  16. Li-Ning Sizing Info?

    Hey guys, Has anyone bought any Li-Ning shirts in the past, and if so, how does the sizing compare? I've seen a few differences of opinion online! I'm a 46" chest - Would usually wear XL (UK) in most major sports brands. Looking at the Li-Ning sizing, a 46" chest would BARELY be a 4XL. Any...
  17. Serve practice - Inviting feedback

    I'm not going to repeat what others have said, I'm guessing from the spin and contact, you were of a decent standard before injuries? The one thing I'd say, as TTmonster has eluded too - Celluloid balls..... I see a ton of videos of people using celluloid balls rather than the plastic ones -...
  18. What is your USATT rating?

    This is what I was getting at with my initial query. There seem to be quite a few UK players who are interested in the USATT system, and would love to know where they sit - Me included to a certain degree. However, I reckon the vast majority of UK players would rate themselves much higher than...
  19. What is your USATT rating?

    Yeah, that link has been banded about before - It's a pretty good "rough" guide. Do you have a link to your stats on a TT365 website? It'll give people a much better indication of your level (assuming you want that, considering you started this thread). From experience, it's much harder to...
  20. What is your USATT rating?

    Out of curiosity, how are you working out your rating, if you are UK based?
