At the point the ball is reaching the net, the ball is well inside the white side-line so... looks like an edge to me

Hi @Wrighty67 (and other owners of Vodak blades) I'm still considering purchasing this blade (Hinoki Jiri Vrablik Off) for myself. One complication to that decision is that Vodak also produce 'Hinoki Magus Off' that appears to have similar characteristics...

All of the table tennis community though? That would make us a very exclusive group!

No worries. Was not advocating for a rule change. I'm mid-fifties and still eat green berets for breakfast, with my loop drives, lobs and smashes ;)

Sanwei 75 Inner Been playing with this for ~3 months. It is my favourite blade and great value for money. Plays similar to my Yinhe Pro Feeling (both have koto outer ply). Excellent blade for controlled attack type players.

Tibhar Shang Kun Interesting blade. The most woody-feeling composite blade I have tried. Faster than I expected based on reviews read. For ref, faster than my Sanwei 75 inner (both weigh 88g, which is the sweet spot for me). Sound and feel is similar to Xiom extreme S (a fast, stiff all-wood...

Sanwei Fextra One I purchased this after being impressed with my son's original Sanwei Fextra (purchased from Aliexpress). Unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations. On the plus side it has similar speed to the original, however the wood finish is not what I would expect for the price...

There is nothing wrong with playing pips. Personally, I quite enjoy the challenge of playing someone that has a backhand long pip chopping game combined with dangerous forehand attack. Having been recently introduced to Deng Yaping I found the following video. What a beast. Huge respect. But...

@Gozo Aruna was that a generalization or a prediction?

I did not know who she is. Hint: the answer can be found here: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/who-are-your-top-10-table-tennis-players.33577/#post-452292

Niwa was originally in my top ten. Along with Boll, Wang Liqin, Persson... so many players that make TT a beautiful sport. And Wang Yang, just for this rally alone

@Gozo Aruna just got reverse uno'd After 15 years of marriage and being told he is actually ghey ;) (For context, see Gozo's page 8 irreverent (but funny) post that made me spill my coffee)

Ten is not enough :( Like @Lowday20298 I'm going with a list of 'most like to watch' Kreanga Michael Maze Xu Xin Kenta Matsudaira Liu Guozheng Schlager Wang Hao Chen Qi J.O Waldner Simon Gauzy

11. Uncle Licen 'wait I'm not ready' 50 times in a match

Had this printed a while back. Mostly in jest. Well, at least 50%. Anyways, hope yall enjoying your TT as much as possible. Cheers LLS.

Hi @S-Pin how's your testing of those three blades going? I note that @MK73 and @Haraold are also interested :)

Hi @rbtitco did you get the Yasaka Masamune? I was quite interested in owning a three-ply hinoki blade (especially one where the plies are equal thickness). The main thing holding me back was the unusual head size (I try to have all my blades 157x150).

Hi @d3nium Something like a Joola Rossi Emotion that is an Off- composite blade, has many gears, is not too bouncy in the short game, allows for mid-distance attacking and has a woody feel (it has two layers of wood before the composite, being hinoki, koto) might make a good next step. Its a...
