  1. Opinion on zyre, tenergy 05 , dignics 09c and nuzn/rasanter rubbers?

    Yes, but there are some people who like the trade off. It's a personal thing. They also made T19 for people who wanted a more Dignics-like Tenergy.
  2. Opinion on zyre, tenergy 05 , dignics 09c and nuzn/rasanter rubbers?

    Agree with everything except that Tenergy 05 is too slow. In fact there are people who argue that Dignics 05 is too slow and prefer the quick release of Tenergy. I find Tenergy 05 fine and Tenergy 19 better for what I do, but I think all the Butterfly rubbers are reasonably good. The choices...
  3. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Dealing with different playing environments (ball, table, playing hall size/acoustics/airflow) is a problem at every level. No magic solutions other than preparation. Sometimes a ball skids through one table while it slows down on another. High friction is normal for Butterfly and Gewo and...

    The collagen supplementation helps quite a bit. If I had to try regenerative stuff I woukd probably go forum shoulder if possible before knee. My shoulder really scares me lol. But yeah everything is stiff. That is why I want to see how far I can go. One of the things I realize is that...

    Right now there is a lot of hype around creatine supplementation. Skeptical but I am trying it out, 5-10g a day. Along with collagen peptides for my joints. I don't like gyms but I have 4 50 lb kettle bells at home and 1 100 lb one which will probably soon have a companion. Trying to regain...

    Not sure how old you are or how much gym work you do. But there are lots of mobility channels on youtube now. If I have any recommendation for young people, it would be to start these things young when they are somewhat easier. But even people at our age, especially people with desk jobs...
  7. What happened?

    I deleted it. A smarter moderator than myself wanted to keep it but I got tired of people hitting the report button. People rarely hit the report button on the forum consistently on any post, and when many different people do so, it is for me a sign that something is really offending them on...

    Couldn't play the past week - too busy studying. So I went to play today and jist as life would have it, I felt like I was on fire. Maybe the rest did my body well, was moving and hitting the ball and blocking on time. Then I hit my racket and finger on the table. Tore the rubber, cut my...
  9. England Nationals (Mark Bates Ltd Senior National Championships 2026)

    Injuries, mental health issues that he has discussed publicly and of course, style considerations as people get more used to the new ball and the backhand play it enables, But he can still play great table tennis, but right now is injured.
  10. England Nationals (Mark Bates Ltd Senior National Championships 2026)

    Trump has funky serves ans is a lefty, given McBeath's heavy reliance on flicking, I suspect it played a role.
  11. England Nationals (Mark Bates Ltd Senior National Championships 2026)

    The mix of flashbacks, ads and matches can be confusing in the livestream.
  12. England Nationals (Mark Bates Ltd Senior National Championships 2026)

    Very normal if there is a serious level difference, most of the guys in Pocket Rocket level are around usatt 2400 and Jarvis is more like USATT 2700. Moreover Jarvis dominates on serve and backhand (quick strike not big looping per se) so if you cannot find your way around this, the matchup is...

  14. Tips from professional players on choosing a blade

    You weren't impressed by LYJ's blade selection technique? Don't have a strong enough head to do the tests? :ROFLMAO:
  15. FH loop - do I brush on the top or side?

    I do know a couple of guys who developed pretty well with fade sidespin, I think the slight side topspin contact is just more natural, as long as you can get the ball to go relatively straightforward by consistently going over the top of it.

    It's probably not the shot you are referring to - it was just the video that came to mind.
