@ttd why don't we have a "bullshit" icon. It would be handy.

Durability is good, above average, better than O7P. If you like O7P, chances are high, you'll enjoy Glayzer. I use 2.1 (max), BH only.

I know that the umpire said that, and it's stupid. XP was clearly ready. But my point was about XP, not about the umpire. It is hard to say what really was XP's intent here, it seemed to me that when trying to return the serve (which he put to the net), he had an impression it was let. I can't...

The 1st ball was at 4:4, 2nd at 7:7. @backspacer, check it. @Nakira - it seemed to me he was not as guilty, the 1st perhaps he really thought it was net/let, and then asked for it, hard to say. And second - it was the umpire who called let, it was not about the edge ball. At least so I think...

You wouldn't believe. At least I could get Dom to drink beer and taste and compare 2 "Slivovica", from my father and from my friend's father. He recognized the one from my father was better ;-). Craig was not feeling well, and @NDH was driving. You know, they almost felt like not really right...

@NDH and his team woke up at 3am, then drove 1,5h to Heathrow, flew to Vienna, rented a car, drove 250km to an accommodation near my place (which btw. is very cool, I didn't even know that "hytta" existed), and then at 19:15 started playing a match, with Joola Flash balls which they are not used...

Posts like that are really interesting for me to read and learn. If it can be disclosed, where did the iteration go, and what was the final blade and the differences between it and these 2 blades?

I'm on day 4 of my 3-4 days fast, as I originally thought, and this guy just ruined my day ;-)

I'm using a plastic foil like that. You need to leave as little air in there as possible, while applying. On the photo I didn't quite try to optimize, so you also see the differences in different areas. You'll learn this, it's easy. Then also, when you let it over night, the small air bubbles...

Did you try Rxton 9? Last time I got it for cca 28E (with shipment), I just checked the order, now it's cca 22E.

Yeah, good question, I just spent the rubber, I didn't play with it all the time since I first glued it - last "phase" was the last 2 months. And right now (1 week) I'm back to Glayzer, because the season will start soon. So, I'd say, it's a really good rubber, and put shortly, it is a bit...

These are less grippy than "the usual" TT shoes. They are also quite low-profile/height, which I like a lot. On some surfaces I switch to stickier shoes. Search for "XPD unisex table tennis shoes" on AliExpress, if interested. Durability is not the strongest, but I don't mind at all. Actually...

I had a short hit with the Hugo HAL yesterday, with R48 and R42 rubbers. It's quite interesting, coming from my W997 clone by Sergio (like W968), it is clearly stiffer, I'd say it also feels a bit stiffer than my Viscaria (same weight 88g). It also feels quite precise, and a bit softer than...

Oh, upgrades... ;-)

Gozo would start with 2,3 (ultramax). Stop impersonating him pls... OK, I recently bought HAL with R48 (FH) and R42 (BH) for a friend. I was not sure which rubbers to take, but nearby team recently bought about 10 of these rubbers, and also the shop told me they are quite popular, their...

I think the current equipment, esp. harder balls, favors stronger and bigger players, and eventually while having the same "athleticity", those will be in favor. So I'd say that is one factor why the world is catching up, and more on men's side, where the difference is stronger... Well, time may...

G1 has slightly harder top-sheet, hence I'd say is better for FH. The sponge is not very hard though, e.g. I like that sponge hardness on the BH ;-) Anyways, both are personal preferences... And you play with G09C FH and Glayzer BH, which I think is a really good combination. I love Glayzer on...

For me, because I don't get these balls often during practice, they are hard, I mean harder than they look like... I certainly don't blame myself anymore for missing such balls... And generally I try to give as less spin as possible to the LP's... Still needs variation...

You often serve long side spin, with a lot of spin, to his LP. All your spin goes back in ugly form, and that ball, while possibly high, is not that easy. I'd try serving with less spin and a bit shorter to his LP. The ball you get back should be easier to attack... Well you can try... And also...

Couple of years ago I was in a similar situation, I also returned to TT late. Initially everyone is better, and you can see many levels, each with many people, above you. As you say, initially you're overwhelmed with too many things to possibly make better, and there is so many, that the...
