  1. Table tennis culture in non-dominant Asian countries? (NOT China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan)

    Yep, we have many of these events every year. Almost every year institutions here celebrate birthday or anniversary or some other occasion. Sometimes they would invite foreign players, but mostly they only accept Indo players. The thing is, the closer it is to election campaign, the more...
  2. Have You Used an Asymmetric Blade Like the SANWEI Two Face? Share Your Experience!

    Well, I've had experience with Yinhe Pro 11S. I have got to say that the difference between Spruce with Inner PLC and Koto with Outer ALC is noticeable for me. It could also because of the rubbers on each surface.
  3. What is the best table tennis ball for matches?

    DHS DJ40+ WTT is good. DF Par 40+ is also good. I think DF is better because it's more consistent than DHS one. Joola is also okay. I don't like Stiga Perform and Donic.
  4. Table tennis culture in non-dominant Asian countries? (NOT China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan)

    Most of the tournaments here are small-scale competitions with prizes ranging from around 70 to 130 US dollars. The tournaments are usually in the form of individual matches or teams sending individual representatives to compete. Meanwhile, matches involving full teams, such as men's teams, are...
  5. Table tennis culture in non-dominant Asian countries? (NOT China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan)

    Table tennis is big in Indonesia. How big? Lots of tournaments every week. The money is also okay. A regional game gold medal winner can get you up to $3-5k. It might be small to you guys but you need to remember the minimum wage here is like $300 a month. It's worth 10-12 month of work...
  6. DONIC New Zhang Jike blade

    This is better than the previous one. At least, I won't be embarrassed when I take off the rubbers in front of everyone.
  7. DHS Hurricane King acB Review

    Vega Europe, Barracuda Big Slam, Rakza Z. Well, softer rubber is better if you want to have fun. If you feel like working out, 729 super fx or hard chinese rubber unboosted. Feel the workout.
  8. F ESP 1-0 ARG After Extra Time, FIFA World Cup 2026

    Zhang Jike has never been humble in any interview he's given. The only player he's ever praised as comparable to himself is Ma Long. Fang Bo might not show humility in his coaching videos, but would he ever claim to be better than Ma Long or Zhang Jike? Would he confidently say in an interview...
  9. F ESP 1-0 ARG After Extra Time, FIFA World Cup 2026

    This is what is missing from TT players, they are all too humble. Every single one of the UFC fighters has this believe that they won't lose to anyone, even the lower ranked guys pretty much believe they can defeat the champ. I suppose that humbleness is one of Asian's qualities, but that sort...
  10. Did Lin Gaoyuan get sponsored by a new brand? His backhand rubber has purple sponge

    How about double fish? Pretty sure they used his face to promote Dragon Blade ZLC. It could be a custom made Volant Phoenix or Volant Phoenix National.
  11. Short review of Glayzer 09c

    The problem with using your feeling to measure something is there are too many variables to take into account. You guys find Glayzer to be slow and not spinny whereas I find it's fast enough and spinny enough. So, whose feeling is correct? Wouldn’t it better to look at it objectively and see how...
  12. Short review of Glayzer 09c

    Yes, this is very true. Guess who is the joke? Conspiracists.
  13. Short review of Glayzer 09c

    Well, I'd take BTY measurement over our subjective feeling. That being said, G09C is actually harder than T05H. From left to right: G09C, D09C, T05H, T05.
  14. Short review of Glayzer 09c

    I wish I was, brother. Butterfly listed it as it is, you can't deny it. As you can see in BTY global.
  15. Double Fish samples has arrived - what is your opinions?

    I've seen all of these on marketplace, Phoenix 1 is something that I am interested in. Only reason I haven't bought it yet because I'm planning to get Dragon Blade ZLC. I'm still waiting for its review and how it compares to Viscaria, Long 5, TB ZLC.
  16. Short review of Glayzer 09c

    Rakza 7, Vega, Barracuda are not better than G09C, they are worse. They were made to compete with T05 in spin but couldn't keep up at all. G09C, as shown by BTY graph, is actually a class higher than T05 and comparable to D05 in terms of spin generation. Those rubbers are no way better or...
  17. 34th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2025, Shenzhen, 2/19-23

    Not that many people love the sport even without them. To call them corrupting table tennis is just crazy, brother. I'd take them over empty stadium any day and no loud noises. Drama like this is exactly what people love. I don't know chinese, but I bet many fans are cheering WMY digging at SYS...
  18. 34th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2025, Shenzhen, 2/19-23

    I honestly think it's fine for SYS fans to cheer "SYS, you are the best" even if Wang Manyu is the one who won it. A bit more drama and toxicity in the sport are always good, lol. People love football because of the drama. Floyd Jr is big because of the drama, same goes for McGregor who creates...
  19. 34th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2025, Shenzhen, 2/19-23

    Seems like Kao is experiencing such a thing too. I assume he was using H3 on his FH before changing to NUZN?
  20. 34th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2025, Shenzhen, 2/19-23

    Xu Xin did, Ma Long did, Wang Chuqin did. In my opinion, when you've been training and a ball that usually lands suddenly flies off or goes into the net, the only thing you can do is look at your blade. Once or twice going long or into the net could be attributed to yourself, but repeatedly?
