Whew if I had that speed serve as a change up my service game would be nasty. :) Well done OSP Played with my co-worker Thursday. Inverted/Long Pips. Went really well. At the end of the practice he was frustrated saying he missed to many balls but LPs will do that do you if you're not use to...

I probably can't help much but as a lefty penholder, I sidespin hook loop a lot with a lot of jump after the bounce. We all have strengths & weaknesses and that's just one of my things that comes easy to me. Now do I do that every time? No. But for me it's as simple as paying attention to where...

Since I left that post some time back, I've purchased the Gambler Fire Pro Dragon Touch penhold blade. I made a thread about it here in case you didn't catch it. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?16353-Early-Review-Returns-on-Penhold-Gambler-Fire-Dragon-Touch-Blade You can...

I have a bottle of this stuff. It's okay but honestly I'm not super impressed. Certainly nothing remotely close to the effect of that video Suga posted. That's crazy sticky.

This might have been said by others but in some of your posts I've seen, this "I'm so angry" comment seems to keep coming up & up. You can have the best coach in the world who can teach you all the right techniques but if you don't have it there mentally or psychologically, which i would argue...

I almost was about to post those but then thought about what the OP asked. Didn't say nationality. Simply non-Asian. While these guys represent different countries, they are of Asian descent so I don't think they can count. I have a large list of penholders I like to follow for inspiration and...

You win

Sorry. No idea. I suppose one could contact the manufacturer to get more detail if they wanted. From their site: 4 outer layers of high grade Limba and Koto followed by *high modulus carbon interwoven with multi stranded tempered filament,(F.L.C)., Inner core of high grade select clearwood...

It's 100% polyester and my one complaint is that my size is slightly too big. I'm 6'0 and 186 lbs. I ordered a large which typically is a safe bet for those dry fit type of shirts. I love the shirt. It's light weight, great for working out in and looks pretty sharp. Just a little too big. Just...

What's up fellow penholders, thought I'd share my initial impressions of a really nice blade I recently picked up. Gambler Fire Dragon Touch. I live in the states so I got it from Zeropoong.com (who owns Gambler)...

While I currently use a euro rubber for my RPB, which is Evolution FXS, I also like softer chinese also on the BH. I don't particularly care for hard sponged rubbers on my BH. Some softer still Chinese tacky rubbers I really like are. Gambler Wrath - only comes in 2.15mm though. or 729...

So while I pride myself on my service game, I'll be the first to admit that a really fast either topspin or fast dead serve is not something I really have. For that reason, I appreciate Kaii's demonstration here. I know you have to use your body to propel the ball forward that fast. I just...

So Suga I don't know if you've already picked out a blade for him but here is a Yasaka Extra on sale from tabletennis11 at a rediculous price. http://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/yasaka-sweden-extra-ch-pen This is a famous blade (my Yinhe W6 is a clone of this blade) that is known for...

Nice. Yeah i'm looking for something of the thickness or rigidity of those old overhead projector type films. but seems like actually finding those old things is getting harder and harder considering nobody uses those anymore. ;)

Carl, Where do you get your report sheets? I like my plastic sheets to have some thickness & firmness also. Walmart? Some office store?

I tend to like local matches more than the very top pros. Don't get me wrong those are good also. But at the very top, it's almost like a different sport from what I see. :p These guys can flip dang near any serve, they rarely miss. They're amazing don't get me wrong. But on a more local, but...

Great points from genrel001 and Flatstyk. Genre, I have also read that the Stiga Allround Classic is a very control nice flexy blade. Plus I really, based on my clipper, how stiga's penhold blades feel. the handle thickness on them is thinner and just more comfortable. So that is an option...

I think typically the clone reviewer reference comes from several customer reviews over time. They see that a company comes out with a blade that has the exact same wood plies as a current popular, more expensive blade. I own a Yinhe W6 and if you read around, people will say it's a Yasaka Extra...

Had a pretty good hit last night at club. Lost 2-3 twice to my training partner who always beats me but at least I'm getting close. Anyways, while the LP play helped from time to time, it also had its disadvantages. I think i just need to pick what I enjoy the most & got with it. But yeah in...

Always good to hear form you OSP. I like your enthusiasm for the game and I like that we have similar backgrounds in being penholders who use TPB but have dabbled with RPB. Yeah I'm playing for fun but also want to see how good i can get within reason. I say within reason because if I was...
