  1. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    Truer words have never been spoken. Unless you're playing a mordern defender game where you're willing to lay off & chop (of which I'd ask why arn't you playing shakehand than) I don't like having them on there. Ever noticed how if you take some time off or don't practice something all that...
  2. is TTNPP fake?

    I've purchased lots of stuff with them with no problems. A LP OX back in the day, Evolution MXP & FXS, DHS D40+ plastic 3 star balls. Everything works great. Their prices are pretty hard to beat. My only complaint is that sometimes I feel they take a while to ship the order. I think last time...
  3. Orange plastic balls?

    I was those DHS 2 toned plastic balls the China Super League uses to be released. No particular reason other than I think they're cool
  4. LF: Japanese Penhold Blades

    I'll try to save you time but in my experience on the two Jpens I sold, there's simply a limited market for them. If you want a used one, you'll probably have to check ebay because anyone wanting to sell theirs probably already put it there. otherwise, I'd recommend continuing to save up for...
  5. Changing from shakehand to penhold(blade change)

    Sweet pics. That American Hinoki blade is sweet looking. Really, really thick on the handle but I like 1 plys and I'll be that's a speed demon. Your sanding job on the back of the handle on that last pic I was nodding my head "Yes" to. That can do so much for comfort. That's where i'm always...
  6. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    It's exciting when you feel like you're playing your best TT. I just lost to my training partner, who I have said previously always beats me, 3-2 in the final game 9-11. While that's painful and I would have preferred to win, it really doesn't bother me because in our recent matches, I see a...
  7. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    Sounds like we might have a convert. :) I definitely know what you're saying on the pure backspin serve or the ghost serve. As much as I pride myself on my service game, I find I get generate pure backspin easier with shakehand because like you said, you can hold the blade more horizontally...
  8. New DHS 40+ Ball - TTNPP (Is it fake or is it real?)

    Whichever ones these are. http://ttnpp.com/store/3-stars/869-dhs-new-material-cell-free-dual-40-d40-3-stars-ball-x72-39.html Honestly I don't know the difference (40+ to D40+). Description says...DHS NEW Material Cell-free dual 40+ D40+ 3 Stars Ball x72 Post edit. Think i get it. So there...
  9. Best method for writing on plastic balls?

    I just used a sharpie to make my service training balls. Posted a video of me doing so on my channel. Nice & easy.
  10. New DHS 40+ Ball - TTNPP (Is it fake or is it real?)

    About a week or two, I inspected some DHS 40+ balls we bought in July or September with some DHS 40+ ones we bought at the beginning of the year. The new ones have the thick seam. The old ones are all marked up and honestly I can't tell which seam it has. In either case, they all play the same...
  11. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    I'm continually amazed in how you can be playing this game for years & years and still discover something every now & then that works and could be potentially game changing. My club training partner, who beats me 95% of the time (looking to change that), came over last night and being the...
  12. Changing from shakehand to penhold(blade change)

    Suga, What'd your club mate think of the new blade? Nice of you to hook him up like that.
  13. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    I never really had a problem with it. Try it out and see what you think. Actually if anything that ever bothered me was my curled finger approach on the back side. Yes, I told you LPs have a flat space there, and they do, but often my curled finger sides would still be touching some pips. Well...
  14. ITTF Announce Punishments for Ma Long, Fan Zhendong & Xu Xin Boycott!

    So... basically they fined them the equivalent of what would be fining one of us 20 bucks. #chumpchange
  15. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    So most LP rubbers have a very flat space at the bottom where you can rest your index finger and not have it touching the pips so I don't put a gap back there. It's low enough to be comfortable to rest your finger on. Plus when you feel rubber, you know it's LPs. If you feel the wood of your...
  16. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    +1 So true. Another trick you can get vs LP or Anti players is that with those type of rubbers, your reading spin gets lazy as you largely don't have to do it as much on serves. I mean if you misread a serve, chances are you can still safely push block it in. We have a couple of old guys at our...
  17. Blade for FH SP?

    I played short pips for a couple of years. Could not have been more pleased with my Clipper Classic. Was just perfect for that style of play.
  18. Did the ball hit the table? Huge controversy - World Cup 2017!

    I don't know how we can say for sure on these angled playbacks if it hit the edge or not. Still, how does the ITTF not have replay and a video camera fixed on the edges at table height so we can clearly determine these things? Or simply use tennis's replay feature that they use. Quick & to the...
  19. Brand new, curled tensor rubbers?

    That sucks man. Clearly I think you're somehow dealing with issues in an old rubber vs a new one and whenever ordering, who knows what you're getting. A roll of the dice. Tensor rubbers man. SMH. Does anybody know of new rubbers, which high quality sponges that are not factory tuned where...
  20. Beginner Blade + Rubber

    It just depends on how good you want to get and how much time you want to put into it. The fact that you're posting on this board tells me you're relatively serious about your table tennis. If you join your local club, a year from now you will be a completely different player. I promise that...
