  1. Need advice

    Or if he can't wait for order from China, even from tabletennis11 he could get a donic Persson exclusive off and two sheets of dhs hurricane 3 for $50 US total. That's around 340 Croatian.
  2. Need advice

    If he can wait a few weeks for the equipment to arrive he can order from aliexpress.com. There you can find many blades and rubbers for much less than 400 kuna all together. For example from Ali Battleship store a Yinhe N11 blade and two sheets of 999t rubber for $21 US. That's less than 150...
  3. Need advice

    Choices are limited with 400 kuna budget. Gewo allround and the Kokutaku 007 or Dawei XP Super Power.
  4. Single Ply hinoki blades

    9mm blades hit like a dream because they don't flex. And the Darker speed 90 feels nice because despite the 9mm stiffness the wood itself feels soft. But they are not ideal for looping. If you are coming from a blade that is both too hard and too stiff for you (ie carbonado 245) you may loop...
  5. German Open 2020

    And I'm sure she cares. Ito is the same in singles more than XD. When she gets mad she shows it, doesn't matter if she is mad at herself or someone else. If you want a Stepford wife root for someone else.
  6. Critique my technique and my match

    I apologize for commenting without having watched the entire match, but had you already used your timeout when it got to 10 - 10 in the fifth? Much easier than improving your stamina is to improve your fighting spirit. You felt defeated, like we all do if we have match point(s) and don't...

    Hello, I just emailed you through your web page. I would like to buy a 180-ball tennirobo. My email is [email protected]. please let me know how to order since I do not see an order form on the website. Thank you, Ben
  8. German Open 2020

    Butterfly is going to sell some Dima blades for sure.
  9. German Open 2020

    No. Who remembers some early round match from an Open seven years ago? Only you, and *maybe* the players themselves. Maybe.
  10. German Open 2020

    Net WS quarters as expected: 7 CNT plus Mima. What else is new?
  11. good reversed rubber for bh (coming from short pimples)

    This may be the funniest thread of all time, after the one where Tommy Zai, the unstoppable EJ madman, gave ten reasons why he is the world's biggest ej. That thread will never be topped. But this one is very funny. So Carl and Patrick had very different suggestions. Here is a third option...
  12. All Japan Championship 2020 Jan 13-19

    Probably someone else we don't even know yet. Ten years is a hella long time in table tennis.
  13. Who produces the best youtube coaching videos

    You are understating the amount of harm that poorly chosen words or misunderstanding can cause even when the coach is there live, well-known, respected, highly competent, and trying their best. ALL coaching is buyer beware, not only online.
  14. Opinions on Tenergy 05 & Tenergy 80

    Understatement much?
  15. Opinions on Tenergy 05 & Tenergy 80

    They are both good. Many many excellent players use both those rubbers. If you haven't used either one before you won't notice any difference. If you play in a decent sized club you could probably find people with the same blade who use t05 and t80. Like viscaria or tb alc, popular bty...
  16. Who produces the best youtube coaching videos

    I don't think there is any such thing as "Chinese table tennis" from a fundamentals POV. Being in good position and using your body well is universal. No western players or coaches advise people to go off balance or stumble around behind the table. So I reject the idea that anyone can change...
  17. Stiff 5 ply wood, does it exist?

    Some are going to be relatively stiffer than others, but not compared to 7-ply or carbon. You could try a composite blade that feels woodish. Either the WSC or MLSC, or if you feel like splashing out, an Acoustic carbon.
  18. Who produces the best youtube coaching videos

    Complaining about free stuff on the internet is really weird to me. I get NL's comments re: ERT, they are content-based and fair. But as far as wanting to see ERT irl so you know who he is, why should he? If you aren't satisfied ask for your money back.
  19. Need advice on equipment selection

    That is not actually how logic works. If there are many choices then a majority will not use any one blade material. H3 may go well with hinoki and also go well with koto and limba and ayous and spruce and walnut. Percentage of blades marketed with hinoki is small. A majority of soft rubber...
  20. Need advice on equipment selection

    It says adaptation happens very fast. If you used the slow setup for two weeks and then went back to your fast one you would spray balls everywhere, for a little while. I get the express veraion of this effect every time someone asks me to twiddle and bh block for them with inverted.
