BH serve short to a righties FH and long to their BH corner or wider keeps them guessing!!! Also if long to BH corner, a slight variation of fast no spin after a fast topspin serve can win an easy point or two!! Position to play the serve can vary, some serve from central or slightly from FH...

You can also try Butterfly eu store. Ok not in UK, but if you keep the total value after VAT below £135, then you don’t get walloped with import tax. Delivery charges apply. Otherwise Tees Sport is the UK official BTY dealer, and the price is the price. Its worth comparing though, work out...

Hey, way to go LDM7 !!!! Well deserved, you been putting in the hours, so nothing less than you deserve. I was using Glazer 09C FH and Glazer on BH, both good rubbers. Just changed to Tau 2 on both wings. tested it a couple of years ago, but never used it for any real length of time. Gonna give...

Next Gen rubber - ‘Chameleon nano tech’ rubber adapts and changes it’s characteristics to suit climate conditions!!!

OUCH!!! New rubber?? Or one of your EJ rubbers not for ‘general’ use??

Thats the real world for you!!!

I understand what is trying to be achieved, and agree that 1 way of measuring hardness is needed, no differing scales or different measuring devices used for measuring TT sponges / rubbers. It removes confusion, or some of it. Takes away frustration. Some of it. next up speed - standard speed...

The whole hardness (of sponge) issue is that different scales are used shore a, asker that etc etc, When testing at home many differing results occur, and generally, testing of both sponge and top sheet together are measured. I think somewhere in the threads I read that a min thickness of 5 to 6...

Forgot what a pivot was ages ago, perhaps the in vogue ‘2 wing looper’ is really a term for - I’m too old, too slow & too fat !!!

I think you mean ‘student doing serve and 3rd ball attack practice, alone!!’

Nah, that was the emergency power back up charger getting the defib powered up and ready in case of emergency. i was knackered at the end of the video which was an hour into a 2 hour training session!!!!! Oh to be young again!!!!

(y) From me!! The ergonomic handle shape promotes a slightly FH orientated grip, a little more closed on FH side, flip side is that BH grip (if you don't alter grip) is slightly more open. Downside if you are a bit of an EJ is that you can't twiddle easily so it makes it awkward to test a...

I have 3 Donic Dotec Blades (2 shown) and 4 SDC blades with the ‘Dotec’ wings, flared handle.

double hits when serving - I suffer from this now and again!! hook serve, too fine a brush, so no real energy transferred to the ball, slow ball speed, bat speed faster and I'm trying to turn the bat around the ball. bat ends up in front of the ball and stops, ball hits bat for a 2nd time...

Safeguarding includes ‘at risk or vulnerable people’, Criminal record check, speaks for itself, it doesn’t necessarily mean that having a criminal record stops you from coaching, depends on the offence.

To gain any official TTE (Table Tennis England) coaching accreditation, you have to do a child safeguarding course seperately, but one approved by TTE, this is similar for many other sports bodies, and other activities that are work related and involve children. The course I attended had other...

Hi, Any video footage of you playing? Helps for getting good advice !!

Movement and footwork is something we should concentrate more on, but when a player plays once a week they wanna hit balls!! So sometimes it’s like being between a rock and a hard place!! ideally, the players that come to us should also go to another club where they can ‘play’ and to us for...
