Problem with easy-to-remove-glues is that the rubber is easily removed...

The biggest misconception is that if you practice more against pips you will enjoy table tennis more. It will only make your training sessions less fun.

Or like other racquet sports - first right, then left.

I'd say that a big portion of this is marketing. Numbers fit Butterfly's strategy. They have changed over the years...

Thanks! One could always have a pips-only-class as well. We can't have discrimination! :)

There could be non-pips-class/division in some tournaments. Just like there are other kinds of divisions (age, gender, rating...). No need to completely ban but I think many would appreciate that. For practice sessions it is a bit harder. You can't just ignore playing club- and team-mates with...

This discussion again. It is not about winning or losing, it is about the joy. Playing an opponent like the one described isn't particularly fun even if you win. Perhaps a ban is too much, but it would be nice with non-pips-tournaments.

Gravediggin' a bit. Sorry for that. How is the handle size of the Yinhe 01-Pro compared to Viscaria? I would really like a Viscaria with bigger handle. Suspect that this is not the case but it can't hurt to ask! :)

Dare try 1.7. It is a lot less different than most people think. Tenergies will be lighter than most modern rubbers.

Källbergs handle looks longer than most also. Might just be an illusion though.

And widths of hands and length of fingers!

It is quite thin from the start and that would make it even thinner though.

Butterfly rubbers. Lighter rubbers, lighter wallet.

Not at all. But the most common way of serving would be forbidden, that's correct. TT would benefit from this on all levels. But for the professionals, who never really have any problems receiving serves it wouldn't be such a big thing. For the rest of us the game would be even more fun, more...

Great video. Apart from what he said we must keep in mind that 99,9% of all games are not pro games. So it is even harder to follow the rules where you only have one (or no!) umpire and the umpire most of the time has no formal training. Change the rules to "the whole body of the server must...

Aren't all Tenergies faster than all Dignics-rubbers unless you hit really hard? On the BH side I suspect a lot of people also have easier to open up the game with a T19 than Dignics. Bouncier short-game though.

The point of EJ-ing is fun though. There is a perception of getting better at table tennis but ultimatly it comes down to having fun trying new stuff!

This. Even if the playing characteristics are similar of a certain rubber the over all feel and timing on a significantly heavier setup will be different and take time to get used to.

It is only a problem if it is hard to read whether it is sidespin-underspin or sidespin-topspin. And if it is topspin it is very hard to "push with quality".

But only like 0.3% of all table tennis matches have more than one umpire. It is impossible for a single umpire to see the ball when the most common way of serving in table tennis is done with the back against the umpire. Also, I do not think that we really want a sort of "whining culture"...
