Oh the possibilities if ESN and DHS ventured in this line of business: tacky, grippy, tensor, pips out, boosted, rubber cleaner, sponge thickness, "ITTF Approved"

Agree. There's no shortage of other forums to discuss and rage about politics. It will only cause division here in TTD. (FWIW, I posted about rubbers...)

I'm convinced the only thing missing is organ music. Once we have that TT will be as popular in the USA as baseball.

Politics can be divisive. I hope my post doesn't cause division as it's meant for light fun.

New rubbers announced: Trump 47 - comes in orange only. The "TRUMP" name occupies 85% of the rubber face. Can only be used by documented players. Kamala 47 - makes a unique cackling sound. Can only be used for pre-arranged games. Perfect replacement rubber when your Biden 46 rubber wears out...

Some in the audience might run away with the equipment. :-)

The online viewers should be allowed to inspect the players equipment.

What does "OP" mean?

Practiced by Harimoto, it's ok to scream as long as you politely do it by facing away from your opponent.

What's the physics behind why a 'sticky' rubber would generate more spin than a grippy rubber? I mean, if I try to rub a ball against either, there is no 'give', the ball doesn't slide. So in theory if the racket skims the surface of the ball at the same velocity, they should rotate the ball...

My blades are mostly Donics and Yasakas. Maybe just my imagination, but to me they have "feel characteristics" unique to their brand (in that a Yasaka feels like a Yasaka and doesn't feel like a Donic and vice versa). I like them both. It feels strange that my copies are likely made by the same...

I went to the donic website (donic.com/en). Absentmindedly I searched for Ma Lin Carbon (a Yasaka product for those who don't know). Surprisingly, several Yasaka products showed up. I tried searching for "yasaka" and lots more Yasaka products showed up. Why could this be?

If they broke down imagine how much "carbon" emission they'd produce...

Mon That's always been in my toolbox. Didn't know it had a name!

So in chess, there's several well known openings, such as Ruy Lopez, Queen Gambit, etc. They all have specific aims (eg dominate centre squares) and have proven to be better than just random openings. What do you think about how that is applicable to TT? Give names to common effective...

Something on the topic of double short pips has been discussed a few years ago. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/double-short-pips.24901/

I suggest it is a let. 2.9 A LET 2.9.1 The rally shall be a let: 2.9.1.1 if in service the ball touches the net assembly, provided the service is otherwise correct or the ball is obstructed by the receiver or his or her partner; OTOH if it was a ghost serve by Ma Lin and the ball goes into the...

I like Donic Waldner Legend Carbon. Stiff (not flexible) because of the carbon but soft impact feel because hinoki. I have Friendship 729 Super FX on both sides. PS Only the top ply is hinoki, but it still feels hinoki to me.

"When the ball is struck it shall be within the space between the server's end line and server's body other than leg and head." Yoshimura strikes the ball between the end line and his face. According to the rule that will remain valid. We'll all learn to be Yoshimuras.

TT11 is a scam. They trick you with great prices, great service, and genuine products so you become addicted and never look at any other shop.
