harder sponges can store(and thus release) more energy. as an activity is practiced more, people develop better explanations about how things work that results in better coaching practices, etc. compared to players from the past, current players are just better players, they are faster...

i never said i am, n'or do i feel confused about anything in this thread.

you are right, it's not just some, it seems there is a lot of it:).

this is also a valid approach, you can outsource some or all tasks that make up the manufacturing process.

blade making is surprisingly similar to classic wood boat making. if you don't have access to good quality thickness planers and drum sanders, you can buy calibrated wood sheets. not even commercial blade producers make their own carbon fiber textiles so alibaba those as well. d3-d4 pva glue is...

i do this:

maybe donic isn't making money with it's current pricing and this is their idea of an excuse to justify a price increase. trolling aside, the point he makes is valid. it's just the delivery device that is kind of corny.

i never seen ittf approved rubbers on what people refer to as premades, but whatever, doesn't mean they don't exist. guess what the fact that you can find examples of tournament legal equipment that when compared to eachother, the more expensive one is regarded as better - and the fact that i...

yes liang jingkun is such a dumbass, his new $50-$100 loki blade will surely cost him ranking points. he should lose 5X-10X points because w968 is $400-$500. also what's up with all these pros using $300 bty blades when they could easily get 10x performance from a nittaku resoud because of the...

is this vid implying a(non existent) linear correlation between price of equipment and performance? yes! is this vid an ad? yes! is the info in this vid true? yes!

a profession is an activity(made with the purpose of gaining a remuneration) that was acquired through some kind of learning process that is professionalized. professionalization is the process through which an activity becomes a profession. an accepted authority like the state governing body...

you don't have to make money to be a pro. you just need to practice your profession with the intent of making money.

a pro is someone who practices their profession(some field in which they had training) in exchange for remuneration. it has nothing to do with skill, place, time, duration or anything else. because most pros are better at their profession than most non pros that try out doing activities that...

the extent to which you enjoy winning/get frustrated when losing(they are symptoms of the underlying cause) is a measure of your emotional feebleness. few ppl have the motivation to push through this emotional imbalance and continue practicing whatever it is that generates those feelings and...

ca. is an old swiss unit of measure. it stands for cyclical angle and it's a measure of how much grams the angle of the blade adds to the total weight of the paddle.

you are correct. the sponge used on t05 has tiny gas(it's co2 and n2 mostly, not air) pockets inside it, just like every other rubber foam used for any other sponge used on any other tt rubber sheet from any other manufacturer. also OP, changing equipment is a time tested way to hamper your...

also, a stricter dress code should be implemented!

i never got why ppl care so much about blades being "balanced". preferring lighter paddles over heavier ones is a head scratcher too. if you would ask an 8th grader that played some attention in physics class about if a lighter or heavier blade should work best in table tennis, he would respond...

assembling sandwich rubber used to be a thing back when ox pips was considered normal rubber(this is where ox=orthodox comes from). but to actually make foam rubber(sponge) and rubber topsheets yourself, just for a proof of concept you'll need to dish out at least $250k for tooling. that is...

figure out what component crapped out(probably motor or driver), find replacement on aliexpress or the like, replace it, continue using it. it'll probably be a $5-$15 fix.
