Haha I like the badass basement player scenario. I played one of these players pretty recently. Unfortunately I think I'm the "chatter". I often get distracted with others approaching me or asking for my help or just asking me questions in general. I completely forget I'm in a club match and...

So I have a couple problems that are bothering me more lately. 1. I graze the ball too finely, I don't do my loops as "gumming" as often as I should so I often lack power. But that's not the primary problem with the grazing of the ball. Dust collects and the grazing stops working, I think it's...

@arch nothing wrong with bouncing the ball before the serve, we all do some kind of ritual, but nuke's examples are extreme. @nuke The sweat monsters you're talking about OMFG. WHYYY are they doing this?! EVERY CLUB I PLAY AT! I switch sides,see the pong of water on their side, then I look up...

patience my friend, the business does too well to die off ;)

Yes I would enjoy it. Meeting so many people with a similar passion. Coaching afterward would always be an option to make additional income. Anyone could stay in the table tennis industry after retirement even if they aren't playing. Look at TTedge. They decided to not give up table tennis and...

Ehh, I think arch's just in a "mood". Not wanting to put up with shit, feels like arguing and not backing down. We've all had those kind of day/weeks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

D3ss3n thanks for clarifying about the bad attitude thing, I wasn't understanding about first. Also, very much enjoy your posts, you should be active more! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your pet peeve is players trying to self motivate themselves? Lol wut Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First, two of the same blade and one being a bit thicker isn't what makes it heavier. Second, I DID add 10 grams with grip tape on the handle. I don't want to keep typing a novel on the error in the things you've said. Carl answered my question already, you're trying to complicate things with...

Yes I understand this. Now imagine a 95gram blade head heavy. I add 5 grams to the handle. Then I have a 100 gram blade same model same weight in the handle that the 95 gram blade had after adding 5 grams. Would they play identically since weight is distributed the same and they're the same...

Yea no, can't go heavier. I'm pushing my limits in weight and it was a struggle to play close to the table. So adding weight to the handle won't actually increase swing speed and recovery time? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Arch, take up the offer, boost it a bit and it will play a lot closer to brand new tenergy again. Learn by testing it, not by reading about it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Max sponge, no rubber ;)

I have a very large roll of edgetape, so I wrapped about 10 grams of it around my handle on my racquet to weigh it down. Played way better/lighter, I could finally move it around ^.^ Question time for if you like a lighter weight blade. I'm under the impression that GENERALLY heavier blades...

This doesn't bother me, dunno why, it's a common thing a lot of players do too so it comes up quite a bit. Try replying with "No problem, you kind of needed it" this will probably piss them off more than you were pissed off. They're just breaking the rules all around, I wouldn't worry about...

Rule nazis. I mean who cares if I step on a damp towel every few points, or have to dry my hands off on my hand towel, or say something in the middle of the rally like "oh shit" or "woah". ESPECIALLY in club matches. Players who take forever between points at the club. I get it, if it's a...

Players who try to "win" warmups and also refuse to start a game. Players that ask me to play or put their paddle down to play the winner. After a couple minutes of warming up, I ask them if they're ready to start and they explain to me that they don't play games..... What am I supposed to do...

This thread started as a preference between Chinese and euro style rubbers. And then instantly became a "what blade and rubber do you use?" Thread Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Damn, I don't understand how you guys even notice illegal serves. The only way I notice is if someone points it out to me, or the illegal serve actually effects me (like serving straight out of their hand suddenly, I just feel unprepared for them to serve) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
