  1. English National Championships 2016

    Hi. I've attended the championships in person, and managed to record two of the semi-finals and finals from a side view. Apologies for an occasionally shaking camera. Private recording - Women's singles semi-final - Tin-Tin Ho v Maria Tsapsinos Private recording - Men's singles semi-final -...
  2. English National Championships 2016

    Any TTD members attending? I'm going on Sunday.
  3. How to return long pure side spin Tomahawk serve to the BH as a Lefty

    When a right-handed player server does a pure side-spin FH tomahawk serve into a left-handed player' BH the resulting spin is essentially the same as if another left-handed player did a pure side-spin FH pendulum serve into a left-handed player' BH. So do a BH flick or turn a bit and play a FH...
  4. Chinese rubber contact

    IMHO, the answer is it depends. Depending on circumstances, you may need to play a shot with a more solid or a fine brushing contact. They key thing to remember is that you need to be in control of the shot, and ideally play a fast active stroke. The slower you swing when using a tacky rubber or...
  5. US Rating VS Rest of World

    Well, we'll probably have to agree to disagree on this one. One final point - you guys also have access to higher level play - all those ex-Chinese players/coaches that flock to the USA, and whose strength and depth is quite evident in any tournament on USA soil they're allowed to enter.
  6. US Rating VS Rest of World

    Of course one can play any of these sports (and many others) at amateur level in London. NL, just type "London" and one of the sports you mentioned into Google. What's more important is that one can play the very same sports and many more outside London as well. The smaller distances are a...
  7. WTTTC 2016 - Training Hall Videos

    LOL. Thank you, I needed a laugh.
  8. Rakza X on Viscaria or Timo Boll ALC?

    Kevin, you are way overthinking it. Seriously, stop fiddling with equipment.
  9. WTTTC 2016 - Training Hall Videos

    All of which are hidden and highly illegal.
  10. Croatian player loses his sh#t

    And that's where you're wrong. The defender was clearly superior to the other player in this match - precisely because the defender succeeded in making the attacker hezitate and lose his sh*t. That is the ultimate defender's objective.
  11. Help from anybody who has played with Geospin Tacky?

    Great. Mark V helped improve my BH a lot.
  12. Help from anybody who has played with Geospin Tacky?

    One of my clubmates has played with Geospin Tacky on Tibhar iv-l blade for several years, and then switched to Xiom Vega Europe, and, in his own words, could not be happier.
  13. All about dwell time, maybe, but only if there are enough people interested.

    Pretty much every single one on the following list from the earliest up until the "TT-Myth-Busters" thread: http://www.tabletennisdaily.co.uk/forum/search.php?searchid=2066053 The "TT Myth Busters" thread was a pretty civilized discussion until someone had to bring their feud with the OP over...
  14. All about dwell time, maybe, but only if there are enough people interested.

    I have read it all - both here and on mytt. And munched through a lot of popcorn watching the mudslinging. So, btw, thanks for the free entertainment to everyone who participated. For the record, I am fully aware that both you and Carl are much better players than pnachtwey. However, anyone...
  15. All about dwell time, maybe, but only if there are enough people interested.

    So, aside from personal attacks on pnachtwey, what was the point of this post? And you consider yourself better than him?
  16. £350 Butterfly blades. Why so expensive?

    I have had the kind of "bare experience" slevin mentions with both SZLC blades - having used each for about half an hour during practice. T05 in max thickness on both sides as I recall. Nothing to rave about as compared to a TB ALC or Viscaria with T05, IMHO. Switching from a TB ALC or a...
  17. £350 Butterfly blades. Why so expensive?

    Same reason why starbucks don't just sell one type of coffee in a fixed size cup for a fixed price. TLDR: Because some idiots will pay £900 for an "old Viscaria". Proof: http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=74070&title=f-s-viscaria-fl-old-tag-second-generation
  18. Reputable equipment suppliers that we've used as buyers

    And yet you apparently ordered from them again and again ... Can you clarify which "not real" products have you ordered from ttnpp (excluding Ma Long's personal national blades and rubbers).
  19. Reputable equipment suppliers that we've used as buyers

    Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever encountered an actual "disreputable" tt equipment supplier?
  20. Ma Long vs Dimitrij Ovtcharov left hand match!

    Now let's get back to the really important stuff: what is the USATTE of these left-handed players? :-)
