+1 Yes I think this is a bit of personal preference but my current blade the Gambler Fire Dragon Touch is a flexy medium at best speed blade. I like it. They have a fast version but I prefer the Touch one as I think short drop shots and all the necessary short play shots are easier. Also to...

+1 I mean at some point physics have to come into play. This is why so many Japanese players have trouble matching up compared to Chinese. They're naturally smaller and just not on the same level power wise. Now Tomokazu is taller than some of his teammates but he's still undersized when...

Thanks. It was a slower night at club as there was a tournament that same day 2 hours away. So my level of competition I was playing was a pinch down (although the guy here has potential). Anyways, I do the Fh strawberry & BH strawberry you're probably mainly referencing here sparingly.... I...

Been a long time since I've uploaded anything. Here is a quick less than 1 minute highlight clip from club night this last Sunday only. Let me know if you guys like this short format. People are busy so I figure shorter is better and on instagram you can only post videos up to a minute anyways...

So I've tried some cleaners. They work okay. Honestly? I don't see any performance / cleaning difference from a bottle of water with just a drop of dishsoap in that bottle. Save the bottles when they run out. Water & 1 drop of dish soap and continue to shop TableTennis11 if that's your...

I mean you just have to read it dude. I think it's pretty clear what I was saying. - Others have addressed the question about rubbers. I briefly touched on it also. - Then I addressed the idea of making a career in table tennis for a kid. Sigh. I think i'm probably wasting my time here. Your...

I tried to downsize the number of blades I had. Currently have 4. Two collect dust and two are ones I realistically play with. Truth be told, I probably should just sell my backup. Anyways, old rubbers? I generally pull them off an put them in a large ziplock bag. 1, you never know when you...

I think most people have addressed the Anti or Long Pips thing. Just not advised in today's game if one wants to go pro. I want to talk about the idea of a 9 year old deciding they want to make a career in something and what the probably means. 1 - At 9? You're a kid. You could be into TT one...

First starting out on SPs? Then I'd say 802 or 802-40. No need to break the bank on something that might not work for you anyways. Furthermore, those are very good SPs. Honestly I have a hard time telling the difference between the two. The size of the pips, etc are almost identical. But this...

And some of us would like to but stink at them. ;) (speaking about yours truly sadly)

Sooooo, the take away from all this... Service accuracy. overrated?? :p

Thought I'd add a note that you'll see this on the intermediate level. Just something to watch out for. I've read some others who say serve topspin or some version of side top. There are some intermediate players at our club who will still push or maybe chop this ball. Obviously when they pop...

Oh I'm excited to see what you think. If your old blade you did not like the thick, chunky handle then this will be the exact opposite of that because this handle thickness is quite thin and I like that. Anyways, this is still my main blade and I like pretty much everything about it. Thin...

I don't think the decision between these two things are mutually exclusive. I think you can play to your strengths while trying to avoid theirs. If you're an attacker, attack. Play your game. If they are too, well which side is more dominant? Do they have a big forehand? If yes, then play more...

Yeah my opinion on this hasn't changed really. It's fine. I don't think it's that big of a deal. If people want to express themselves with different colors, let them. Black & red will still be an option for those who want it.

And I'm good with you feeling that way. I guess what gets me, and not saying this is you, but to me it seems there are a lot of Nittaku snobs out there. We live in an age where there's several plastic balls. To some level, we all have to adapt and be willing to play with a different ball. Here...

I wish people around here felt that way. Here in the states, a lot (not all) of USATT tournaments are played with the Nittaku ball and for that reason, I think some players here just automatically assume it's vastly superior like it's gospel. I also think that stupid price also aids in that...

Well since you asked. LMGTFY link - http://bfy.tw/OWWb

Yeah something's going on with your order that's out of the ordinary. I placed an order for 2 rubbers a few days ago. Got the email from them that my items have shipped yesterday.

Yes. Sorry I didn't catch that I typed that until you pointed that out. Yes if you can get any blank sheets of those anywhere, they make wonderful TT covers.
