You know an Aliexpress sale is going on when you look at TT daily and there are 5 TB threads on the front page. 😆

My Bloom Power H47 is my lightest FH rubber coming in at only 47 grams cut. It's also a lot higher throw than the B2 Pro OS I used. Maybe our experience differs due to blade used.

If you can't find a place to train in China, then you might want to consider going to Vietnam as an option. Lot of people coming from overseas to train with coaches like Ti Long. Coaching here is so much cheaper than the US ($10 an hour versus $50+) that the cost of airfare and hotel is...

What were you playing with before? And is this a problem on just the BH or on the FH too?

Thanks for the reply again. It's harder to justify $120 vs $60 for a "see how I like it" handle. It's odd that they would change the handle size between the models though. They are listed as the same size on the Nittaku site, though I guess width is measured at the largest part not the...

Really appreciate your input here. I'm probably going to pick one up out of curiosity but don't want to spend $100+ on the Acoustic versions. Are the original and carbon versions close in quality enough to get a good experience with these blades? How would you compare the Tenaly Carbon to...

Is this the event that changes the zeitgeist regarding illegal serves? I've never seen so many lets and faults called by refs for low/not vertical tosses. Some matches I watched had it happen 3 or 4 times. And now we got Bobrow pointing out the problematic tosses of WCQ (of course he had to...

Since a lot of people have mentioned breathing techniques, I'll share one I use when I notice my heart is racing too much or I'm feeling jittery. It's called a "physiological sigh" and it's explained well in this video:

Where did he say that was his only worry? We're on a table tennis forum where the thread is about playing table tennis. Why don't you try to stay on topic?

A minor bit of controversy in the Hayata/Harimoto vs Polcanova/Gardos matchup. Gardos was complaining to the ref that Harimoto's free hand was bothering him because it looked too much like a signal for a let (you know how Harimoto's free hand always looks like he's ready for a high five). Ref...

I agree. Moon Speed felt a bit dead. Pretty okay grip, but I expected at least some bounce. It was closer to Mercury 2 in terms of speed. Maybe I didn't play with it enough to break it in. The topsheet was a hard 50d despite being listed as soft. Sponge was 46d.

Loki Arthur China and then hope you get a durable sheet. Still tacky and good for me after several months of use.

From researching the Nittaku tenaly handles further, it seems like the handle is too thin near the blade. Some believe it's due to being designed specifically for smaller Japanese women hands (the designer was a former women's champion). Other's think that it's thin so that it can double as a...

You are located very close to a good club in LATTA managed by Tawny Banh. If you're not a member there yet, then you should consider joining.

Found this video of WRM guys playing with Tenaly. I guess if anything exists in table tennis, WRM and Gucchy will have a video about it somewhere. You also see Gucchy actually using his backhand here. Some points towards the end of the video: - Chiquita is improved because racket head is...

It might be a better investment just to buy a bunch of training balls. 50 or 100. You can practice without a table in a few ways. You can practice serves onto your bed for example. Another thing you can do is sit cross legged on the floor, drop a ball in front of you, and then topspin it up...

It's a matchup we're probably going to see often in the future, and right now looks like an even odds matchup.

Alright guys, I'm going to Tokyo in a few weeks and now with the exchange rate being so good, the Tenaly Carbon is selling for an affordable $60. So I'll be picking it up and trying it out. Thin carbon plies (not sure what type but guessing it's the FE Carbon that Nittaku often uses). 5.7mm...

Paging @Andrea Jiang . Can you provide some more detailed info on the 96 Type blades featured here: https://sanweisport.com/en/product/nextgen/type96/type-96/ I'm curious to know the dimensions of the blade face, thickness, and weight of these, as it's not lised on the website. Also, can you...

Looks like Sanwei used to make a line of tenaly blades that they called "leaning handle" Here's the page although now it looks like it's been out of production since I can't find it on sale anywhere: https://sanweisport.com/en/product/nextgen/type96/type-96/
