  1. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Got picked up on a team for this weekend's Sacramento Teams tourney. Our team won the 6100 division and we all got sum cash. All I had to do is turn in a solid doubles performance (by being consistent and letter top player hit winners) and we did our jobs and won.
  2. Easier rubber than Donic Bluestorm PRO

    Yes, have used it... my BH is very dynamic and can use literally any inverted rubber, but certain soft sponeged old school and modern dynamic rubbers let me land 2 or 3 out of 100 more on the table... I will not fight against percentages like that. Z3 is maybe my 3rd favorite BH rubber. Does...
  3. Easier rubber than Donic Bluestorm PRO

    No rubber on the market will do 100 out of 100 on the items OP mentioned... but there are some rubbers that will do 95 out of 100 on that long list. A lot of them will be soft sponged modern dynamic rubbers. Aurus Soft will surprise you. So will T05FX (now that there are 2 generations of...

    @blahness Ur body will talk to you within the next 20 yrs. :D
  5. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    YES @dingyibvs this is what I advocate to others, use BODY to receive serves and do not make much if any motion with arm, hand, only use it to extend more if needed, it is the step under table with foot and leaning forward with hips that get you to the ball and stable. Glad you are championing...
  6. Lower level player (sub 1400) using ALC + 09C vs more controlled equipment?

    Hi FF, The Curmudgeon Pundit coaching crowd, which I share some partial agreements, frowns strongly upon faster equipment for beginning players. The argument is that one should feel when there is a mis-strike and feel it. A fast ALC and modern fast rubbers makes it hard to discern a mis-strike...

    @NextLevel also always takes responsibility for himself and his faith will deliver his situation I strongly believe.

    @NextLevel never let me down a comment about equipment after an outstanding relative performance made me smile big time.
  10. Viewership numbers

    I am never concerned whether anyone likes or dislikes my opinion there haha, willing and fun to tell to face, it is even better to do so, it is open. I feel the same way as you, maybe even more so.
  11. I am a TPB-only player for now. Out of curiosity, is it easier to do TPB with Cpen or Jpen?

    Double sided J-Pen will NEVER die. Ask Virginia player Wade Sun.
  12. Nexy Fitting Racket Order

    Hi @jk1980 , Oscar has for almost 2 decades made such blades, either OFF or DEF ones with different properties each side of blade, often for the Tibhar brand. He knows how and can get it done.

    Bl, I see the merits of your argument supporting the hook or "shovel" serve and support your opinion. The serve can be difficult to pickup at impact and the basic motion more difficult to read - easier to change the bat and impact to achieve variation. That serve is also easier to hide with...

    Did a Seniors tourney in LA area and overall rate as an outstanding tourney for me and my doubles partner, Sergey-Dont-call-me-Scoobie-Doo. 2 yrs ago in this tourney, there is a decades skilled player C-Pen OX SP (Dr.Evil) both sides player I played last time in singles. Didn't get the result I...

    There is no web superstore doing this. Good stuff.
  16. Nexy Etika review

    Karis is linear... Etika a little dynamic and very good at managing incoming spin on your offensive shots.
  17. How to get the upper hand in bh-bh exchanges?

    @doppelmoral could always go to MyTT forum and ask that no-good BH-Man about this... he is always flapping his mouth off about BH shots, maybe he has an idea.
  18. How to get the upper hand in bh-bh exchanges?

    I am in full agreement with variation and offer another way. BH to BH typically are cross corner the longest distance of table... ESTABLISH a PATTERN... so hit 2 or 3 of same safe med to fast shot... then BREAK that PATTERN. How? Usually it will be with sudden different placement. 2 targets...
  19. Met former Sweden natl player from 1980s/90s name "Peter" today at work

    The only talking I should have been doing is to get him to discuss things on serve and serve receive.
