  1. How would you define a Pro?

    Your main source of income has to be TT related. I'm sure Timo makes/made more from Butterfly contracts than prize money.

  3. Tenergy 19 vs Baracuda

    Hi TTD, Since coming back to TT a couple of years ago, I have played 99% of the time with either h3neo, skyline tg3 or Jupiter Asia 3. Yesterday I slapped on a sheet of Donic Baracuda, and the difference in play is simply amazing. I felt like I couldn't miss with the Baracuda on. So, I am...
  4. Attacking Long Pip Players like Ni Xia Lian and Zhou Xintong... but at the amateur level?!

    I use the saviga V in green because it's the most durable. Being a penholder, my fingers rub the pips, which breaks them in about 4 sessions. The green one hasn't broken in almost a year of use.
  5. Help me choose long pips

    Saviga V is my favorite due to durability
  6. How does the US TT rating work?

    Even in the US, ratings and skills differ from location. For example, a 2000 usatt rated player from California or New York would easily be 2100-2200 in the mid west due to lack of top players.

  12. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    You just need practice against LP. There are players at my club that are several hundred points lower than me, but have beaten me because they have a lot of experience against LP. As someone mentioned, push one, attack one. Serve underspin and attack the next ball. I use LP because they took...
  13. For those who think pips have a ceiling

    Ni is amazing, but I think the best LP player that's ever played professionally is Zhou Xintong.
  14. Should absolute beginners take lessons or just play?

    I say it depends on the club you're in. If there are good players, many of them will help you out on the basics if you ask. At least in my club, the better players have no issues helping out the new players.

    Asics gel 10 come in wide
  16. How to choose long pips?

    I use Jupiter Asia 3. But I mainly serve with inverted then twiddle to LP. It's a nice rubber, with an even better price tag. I think you can grab a sheet of it for 8-$10 on AliExpress
  17. How to choose long pips?

    Durability, for me, is what I go for. I play penhold with inverted and LP. Due to the finger position of penhold, the pips easily break (LP used to last me about 2 weeks). But, the Saviga V in Green, has lasted me 5 months so far without breaking.
