This is just one of the shapes the liquid-metal PushBlocker 2000 - a radical redevelopment of the infamous T-1000 model - can take :-)

To be honest we have no idea whether lower or higher scores correspond to better performance on the test. So, it is very well possible that you are the fastest of them all :-) You're right, I am not that fast. Probably, that explains why I prefer to play slightly away from the table. IMHO, at...

I did go to TT11 for my H8 before doing the review for this site! It is just curious that the prices for this rubber vary so much. Tenergy/Bluefires/Rasants/Omegas/MX-P's/H3 are all pretty much same prices at all UK retailers, but this is something exceptional.

Just noticed that UK tt retailers have wildly varying prices for H8: Bribar: £29 Teesport: £46 !!! Makes one wonder if Teesport's price is the result of demand for H8 far exceeding their supply, or are they simply being greedy.

You're awesome! I was only 258/406 :-)

First, you need to familiarize yourself with Greg Lett's explanation of how LP work. This is an invaluable primer on demystifying LPs. http://www.gregsttpages.com/articles3/53-articles/long-pimples/87-long-pimples-for-beginners Second, each time your opponent push-blocks your previous underspin...

Well, you can enter in 2 bands - your current and the one above, don't you? Assuming 4 player groups, you'll end up playing 6 matches against decent opponents. Treat it as "free" coaching sessions - players of good standard showing weaknesses in your game. At least you'd know what to really work...

I had a knock with a Stiga Clipper WRB yesterday which has DHS Neo Hurricane 3 on FH and, drum roll, Mark V on BH. You know what, it was a very nice combo. Clipper has a very nice feel, and top end speed when needed. On a side note, Mark V had absolutely zero problems with the plastic ball...

Best tip for my fh development: "Learn to slow loop". Best tip for my bh development: "Your grip is too FH-oriented".

Yes, there is a lot. Just type "Werner Schlager" into youtube.

Ok. Typical scenario. "Old Harry/Fred/Jim" serves and does not toss the ball high (or vertically) enough. Or maybe they even, gosh, start the ball toss just below the table surface. There is no attempt at pre/post-serve disguise motions, no foot stomping, nada. The resulting serve is usually...

Haha. My teammates complained to me about you after the match :-) Speaking seriously, I get where you're coming from. You, me and everyone on this forum are super-passionate about TT, and care deeply about the game. However, a lot of amateur players (like many playing in the summer league) are...

IMHO, another big difference between ttd and mytt is that the ttd website is rock-solid and is always up and running, unlike, sadly, mytt, which is frequently down, like now.

Based on my personal experience with the above-mentioned TT forums, the most active/obnoxious trolls are no spring chickens, quite the opposite actually.

Hehe. Monitor the for sale sections of various tt forums over the course of the next few weeks - anyone claiming to sell "authentic" (or signed) Ma Long's blades could be Dima :-)

Sounds like you're just returning to the game after many years of not playing. If you truly value control and spin over speed, then don't waste megabucks on BTY or Stiga fast/composite blades. Get yourself a reasonably priced allwood allround blade (like Stiga Allround Classic or BTY Maze t-tec...

Better question, where is the link to Kokain's video of the reverse pendulum serve? Preferably, a split screen version that includes the Pingskills video - so we all could watch both videos side by side and see the differences ...

I read both. Good reads. Yet another proof that talent is a myth, and hard work makes anything possible.

One of my clubmates plays with Andro Treiber OFF and Xiom Omega rubbers. Seems like a very well made blade, with decent control and power ratio. IMHO, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it in particular or with Andro blades in general.

The key thing with boosting is get the sponge expanded and to stretch the topsheet as a result, and premature forced drying with the hair dryer will most likely interfere with the process. Try using a thinner layer of booster, let the sponge absorb it in a well-ventilated room, and it will be...
