I'm very suspicious about buying anything off of Aliexpress.

Just amazing how he can play at that level with an unconventional game. It's always amazes me how many different styles of TT there can be. I would have a really hard time with an opponent like this.

I'm not sure I agree with that assessment. The competitor rubbers are very long lasting as well. Certainly close to if not the same life as D09c. At half the price they only need to last half as long to justify the value. However they last much longer than half the life therefore I would...

I've never understood of the appeal of BTY rubbers. They are a terrible value. Are competitor rubbers that cost half as much that much less in performance? Absolutely not. There are plenty of rubbers that cost half as much that delivers the same or better performance IMO. I'd choose Xiom...

Let's face it Table Tennis is not exactly a rich sport. There's only so much money being paid by sponsors and so many people interested in it around the world. Compared to golf where there are millions(billions?) in sponsorships and the top 1000 tour players are rich. Flying around in their...

I've tried Hammond Z2 at the same time as V22. I would have to say I liked the V22 better. For me it had better grip but the speed is about the same between the two.

I've played with both and like both. I like the K3 for FH. It's slightly tacky so good grip on short balls. The hardness gives me good control and speed away from the table. With V22 it is slightly softer like what others said. I like it for short flicks or soft shots. Away from the table...

I'm not just talking about TTD. I'm talking in general (ie a 20 yo versus a 40 yo player) or even a 30 yo versus 60 yo. There would be a marked difference in physical ability.

Yes, you do improve game tactics but young people can always learn tactics but older people will never be able to improve footwork. It's just physically impossible.

I've always thought there should be some type of handicap system for pong. Like one point advantage for every 10 years of age difference. Since footwork is so important with age your footwork definitely is the first to go. Sadly, the only thing seniors do to compensate is usually they go to...

Must be my monitor. The picture of the black rubber looked a little greyish.

I'm surprised Grey is an approved color. So I can have one side grey and the other side black? That seems pretty confusing and not easily distinguishable to me.

I see your point. Probably for color blind people to more easily distinguish the difference.

I just wish I could put two different color rubbers on without one having to be black. As long as it's two different colors what difference does it make which color?

This pickle ball is out of control. You will never see this much prize money in TT. https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/19/tennis/pickleball-pickle-slam-tennis-greats-intl-spt/index.html

My closet is full of shoes I've tried and rejected. Asic Rocket, Yonex badminton shoes, various tennis shoes and cross training shoes. I've finally found the perfect fit TT shoe. TT Japan sells the ASIC Excounter in extra wide. After trying my first pair I bought 2 more immediately so it...

Speaking of barriers to entry. The higher the barrier the harder it is to learn obviously but that's what makes the sport interesting, fun and long lasting. How long can you play tic tac toe? It's super easy to learn but you get bored after 3 rounds. Golf takes years to learn and you never stop...

From my point of view I don't see the appeal of Pickleball. There's almost no spin. There's no overheads, very little pace and mostly about drop shots. As stated before "I'd rather watch paint dry"! I can see it is very popular among the senior crowd since it's very easy on the body but for...

Yes, so since the demand isn't there in the US therefore the parks and community centers won't have the tables.

But what comes first? The parks put out equipment only if there's a demand. If there's no demand then they wouldn't spend the money and effort to acquire them.
