  1. Interesting experience with Bluefire...

    Some rubbers are great for one player and bad for another one. If you like it maybe give it a try.
  2. Frictionless Anti players

    I read somewhere he plays in the third highest league of his country (italy?) That means he probably gets some money but not quite enough for a 100% living (semi pro basically). In Germany I think there is definitely some good money in the third highest league
  3. Soft return

    For me it is vice versa, I switched to cpen and return better with it but I'm a lefty so maybe the angle fits better by coincidence.
  4. Soft return

    I have heard lower bounce rubbers make short touch returns easier than high powered tensors. But in the end it helps a lot learning to read spin. Keep in mind I'm not a high level player but it helped me learning what motions produce what spin. High level players can disguise it but for us...
  5. Soft return

    Are you sure the return issue is about the rubber and not trouble with reading and adjusting to swing?
  6. Fan Zhendong is an UNBREAKABLE wall!!??

    I think for those short clips tiktok might be a better Plattform than Youtube :)
  7. Good setup?

    I guess he tried uploading a picture but failed doing it
  8. Can somebody explain the history of ESN?

    I think it is a cost factor. Developing and producing such products costs a lot of money and there is also not huge difference in those so it makes sense to use a company who already has the technology and production capacities.This is often the case when it comes to plastic polymers. I also do...
  9. Frictionless Anti players

    Yeah andrea is a really good player. Not sure if he really needs antispin though, when he twiddles his regular backhand topspin is very nice too. The anti makes it probably even tougher but really he probably would beat most (non pro) players with two inverted rubbers too.
  10. Most Lopsided Head-to-Head

    Yeah mima has done better albeit it seems the last 1 or two years they figured her out. Btw when was the last time a Chinese woman has lost a match in singles competition to a non chinese at worlds or olympics? I saw hirano won a medal in 2017 but did not beat a chinese on the way while chen...
  11. Advice for intermediate player needed

    I think most of the time a blade is "too slow" for a beginner to intermediate level player it is more of a technique issue than a too slow blade issue.
  12. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    Is there any jpen player currently ranked in the top200 in the world? Who is the best active jpen player?
  13. Most Lopsided Head-to-Head

    Everyone is bad against the Chinese women. The last non chinese female singles gold at world championships was 1993 and in the last 15 years there were only one non chinese medal (mia hirano in 2017) otherwise the Chinese women swept all 4 medals every time since 2007.
  14. Japanese Penhold Tactics + Advice

    From what I have seen in videos you don't want to get into a rally but open up first and ideally hit a winner or at least a strong shot that forces a weak return that you can attack again. At the rec level you probably can get away with some tbp rallies
  15. Japanese Penhold Tactics + Advice

    This channel has many good jpen videos, it is korean but many have English subtitles
  16. Boycotting China

    Obviously China is not a democracy and doing some bad things especially regarding human rights but a boycott is not changing anything and not credible either as long the west is relying on cheap china labor to produce stuff. As long the western countries are doing business not only with china...
  17. Ball point brain washing

    Yes, Carl is an alien disguised as a human to conquer the world. it's not the first time he tried it either, the first time was documented in the news show the Simpsons but the world did not wake up. thank you for warning and saving the world
  18. Gender clash piff-paff

    Generally men have an advantage at every sport because they cab generate more power and run faster too. However I think table tennis is closer than many other sports because the bat and ball is very light. Still men will have more top end power but good women can play at a very high level...
