  5. Any attempt to play in an competitive environment ruins this sport for me (rant)

    If i where in your situation and wanted to play competitively against players of other clubs. I would : 1. go play individual competitions and tournaments if they exist where you play. 2. Put yourself outside the club politics and tell them if they need they can call on you if needed as a...

  7. Simon Gauzy was right or wrong in that point?

    There is no reason to be petty, also ping, pong or table tennis is just a term I mean whatever dont take yourself too serious it’s ugly. In France someone who play table tennis is called a « pongiste »… And on the subject Just because something is not allowed doesn’t mean that I understand why...
  8. Simon Gauzy was right or wrong in that point?

    I have a hard time to understand why, in this type of situation, they don't simply replay the point. If the umpire is not sure and the players are confused as well.. replay the point like we do in our amateur leagues.
  9. 2024 WTT Champions Incheon 03.27-03.31 Korea

    According to the French national federation (FFTT). The international ranking counts. Only exception would be a recent exceptional result (that is in the year June 2023 to June 2024) for example beating WCQ
  10. 2024 WTT Champions Incheon 03.27-03.31 Korea

    Gauzy is ahead of Alexis if you only count the points that will be valid in June and just increased his lead. So I’m not so sure.
  11. The Dark Side is getting more and more tempting...

    My notes after 2 weeks Pro's It helps me with placement and specifically short placements and playing down the line are much easier on fast balls. My backhand drive is more stable (is what I needed to rebuild my lost confidence) the ball jumps up less when I make poor contact on pushes. Cons...
  12. The Dark Side is getting more and more tempting...

    Haha sounds like you have a similar problem as me, with the difference that I don’t suffer at serve receiving. But because my forehand increased in quality and speed way faster than my backhand I could not control the returning ball. So I slowed down my backhand. You should realise that...
  13. What inexpensive (under 80 euro) blade should I use?

    My coach made me start with a tibhar chila offensive and Yasaka mark V gps 1.5 on both sides.
  14. I WANT TO CHANGE MY CURRRENT YASAKA MA LIN CARBON BLADE (SHAKEHAND GRIP)

    Just take the same blade and if you can weigh it, so you can match the weight. Also the suggestion of @Lowday20298 is very coherent, if Rakza 7 is too slow you can go with 9 which is fast but low arc or Rakza X which is like 7 but faster and requires a more proper technique.

  17. Are French people paying attention to the French team at WTTTC 2024?

    Table tennis is quite big here, I live in a rural area and there are at least 20 clubs in a 1,5 hour radius of which 6 play national and 2 professional. But yeah, I think its popularity for the media is “hurt” by the Chinese supremacy there is almost no surprise in our sport. On TV In France...
  18. Are French people paying attention to the French team at WTTTC 2024?

    Almost all news related to table tennis is about the Lubrun Brothers and their way to the Paris olympics. Outside of the TT community, public interest is very limited, I feel. One short article on the national public news about this tournament on how they lost to china in the finals. On the...
