  1. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    Damn, looks like Lee Sangsu kinda twisted his knee going for that FH. Looked bad in the replay and then he had to take a TO. Would be terrible to get an injury up 7-4 on ML in 5th game. Edit: Luckily it looks like he's okay
  2. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    One of the Li-Ning ball girls behind the players looks bored to death. She's constantly fidgeting, making faces, and yawning lol
  3. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    That back edge ball really took away all the momentum HT was trying to build. Could've been 7-7 but a few mistakes afterwards and it was instantly 10-6. Credit to HT for looking so good in the long rallies (and winning most of them) but also credit to WCQ for fnding layers of tactical changes...
  4. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    HT with the rare reverse pendulum serve. Good to see him trying some new stuff to get back in this game.

    Harimto gonna have to wipe that 2nd game from his memory
  6. Nittaku Acoustic FL handle size comparison with other blades

    Acoustic handle is just too small for average sized male hands. I recommend you hold on to one in person at least once before spending $120+ on it.
  7. What happened between the USA and KAZ controversial match at the WTTTC Finals 2023?

    From the top CNT women dropping matches to pips and now boosted rubbers being disqualified, it's entirely possible that JamesZ has finally succeeded in infiltrating the ITTF.
  8. Now testing: Battle Max, Rxton 3 Pink, Dynaryz ZGX, and Rhyzen ZGX

    Damn that sucks. First time I'm hearing of any bubbling with Rxton 3. At least my Blue looks in great shape after 20 hours of usage.
  9. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    2 duplicate passports definitely isn't normal. But being in a different country competing every few weeks isn't normal either.
  10. Now testing: Battle Max, Rxton 3 Pink, Dynaryz ZGX, and Rhyzen ZGX

    I'm using the technique that was included with the durometer as an instruction page. Using both hands with the durometer dial facing towards you, you hold the durometer kinda in the way you would make a heart symbol (index fingers on top of the durometer, thumbs on the bottom of the durometer)...
  11. Now testing: Battle Max, Rxton 3 Pink, Dynaryz ZGX, and Rhyzen ZGX

    My readings for LAC come out the same (51-52d). With my durometer, I can get every rubber to 57d+ if I press too hard. If I press slowly it'll slowly reach the first limit "plateau" which is what I take as the actual hardness. If you then add even more force past the "plateau" the needle will...
  12. Now testing: Battle Max, Rxton 3 Pink, Dynaryz ZGX, and Rhyzen ZGX

    When I measured them with my durometer, they came out as the exact same hardness (51-52d Shore O). I'm willing to bet that the only difference between them is the color process to make them either pink or blue. They are a bit too hard for me on the backhand, but I'll try boosting one to see...

    Ah okay. So the only system for awarding penalty points is through the card system? So you can attempt to distract the player at least once and the worst that can happen is a yellow card and replay. This actually now makes me think that the SGP player did it intentionally. Pretty smart move...
  14. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    To me it looks like you're misinterpreting the question a bit. Here there's a crucial distinction between an umpire and referee and one the question is asking what are the limits of the umpire with respect to the referee. Answer b. is not the only choice that an umpire can make as provided in...

    It's pretty crazy that Sora was able to win that when he loses like 90%+ points where he needs to make a FH topspin shot. I think even Noshad wins more points with his FH than Sora.
  16. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    So the ref took the input of the player that was distracted by the noise in making the decision, and you are faulting Kallberg for speaking up and the ref for listening? That's kind of a bizarre take, and only makes sense if you already 100% believe that the distraction is unintentional. I have...
  17. Can i use 2.2mm thickness in backhand rubber?

    Also, to answer your question directly, yes you can use 2.2mm sponge as a beginner. In fact, your AK-47 Blue is 2.2mm or close to it, so you've been using it all this time already.
  18. Can i use 2.2mm thickness in backhand rubber?

    I'd just stick with the AK-47 on the BH. Unless you're getting the Joola Micron for free, there's no reason at this point to change away from the AK-47 unless your coach specifically has found an issue with your equipment. The clip you posted suggests that your setup is perfectly fine for your...
