  1. ITTF WTTC Finals Doha 2025, 5/17-25

    Unpopular take, but it's a possibility that the reason CNT is looking vulnerable is because the others have caught up with them or have closed the gap enough to make them vulnerable instead of weaker talents. The likes of WCQ and LSD would have dominated the sport a decade back.
  2. ITTF WTTC Finals Doha 2025, 5/17-25

    The table color is awful. I got dizzy just by looking at it from the screen.
  3. I Challenged A Pro With A Mystery Table Tennis Bat!

    I didn't even know TB Mezzoforte even exists in this world. Thanks to the video, I checked out Butterfly’s lineup, and it turns out there’s even an Ovtcharov S2.
  4. Which foam sponge do you use to apply glue?

    I use any sponge I can get my hands on. Most of the time it is a dishwashing sponge. Cut into smaller slab and apply the glue.
  5. Any European rubbers that can replace Hurricane?

    H3 is better for short game. Vega China is bouncier than a boosted H3
  6. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    It's very likely I got 37 for my forehand then. Everything went wrong for my forehand.
  7. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    For some reason, the R9 39.5 degree that I've been using is softer than the previous one.
  8. Help me on forehand topspin

    Your FH is solid for a beginner. I bet you have gotten tons of advice already from everyone here, so I'll just add one thing - try to dig into the sponge more.
  9. Any European rubbers that can replace Hurricane?

    1. It's lighter than a boosted H3 2. It produces massive spin. 3. It is more reactive than H3. 4. Easier to use than H3. Anything you can do with a boosted H3, you can do it too with Vega China better.
  10. Any European rubbers that can replace Hurricane?

    Xiom Vega China is good. You could also try Donic C2 or C3. The closest you can get from Tibhar is MXS.
  11. Short review of Glayzer 09c

    Just try it first. Who knows, maybe you'll swear by it after you give it time.
  12. Short review of Glayzer 09c

    Battle 2 is like a classic chinese rubber - hard and sticky. Modern hybrid is called hybrid for a reason; it is never meant to be comparable to classic chinese rubber. Even H3 is no longer that tacky.
  13. Short review of Glayzer 09c

    It's normal. Don't expect the stickiness of old H3 from D09C or G09C. Recent H3 is nowhere as tacky as older ver H3.
  14. Zhang Jike: "Those who rely primarily on a Backhand system, can not reach the top"

    I thought he said top 5. I figured he was making fun of them all coz they have strong backhand.
  15. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Had a tournament yesterday. Decided to have fun and bomb everything. By the time I reached the semis, I felt I still had some juice left in the tank and figured I'd try to end it early by bombing it all again. I led the game 2-0, but then I completely ran out of steam, lol. My legs were shaking...
  16. Zhang Jike: "Those who rely primarily on a Backhand system, can not reach the top"

    I think he needs to work more on his strategy and mentality. Guy is as perfect as one can get as a player. Superb footwork, lethal forehand, slightly less lethal backhand, great rallying (you don't best ML without great rallying skill), and dodgy serves.
  17. ITTF Men's and Women's World Cup Macao 2025, 4/14-20

    Kidmoto was not a hard hitter. There, I repeat it. Even his coach literally said his FH was weak as heck. He was borrowing force much like ML. Unlike Hugo and ZJK. I can agree he hit loose ball hard but hard hitter like Hugo he wasn't. I'll just agree to disagree with you. Is this not you? I'm...
  18. ITTF Men's and Women's World Cup Macao 2025, 4/14-20

    "ma long always had problems against hard hitters. ZJK beat him because he hit too hard, harimoto did the same, lee sang su , fan zhendong etc etc " That is what you said. Kidmoto hit as hard as a physical specimen like prime ZJK and FZD is just no. I don't really care about the other points...
  19. ITTF Men's and Women's World Cup Macao 2025, 4/14-20

    You could have said you agreed I could get a ball past ML at least once. lol
