Our club plays with Gambler 40+ 3 star balls. They're seamless and I think a good quality ball. We rarely have breaks. If anything, 95% of our ball breaks happen because a player unknowingly steps on them. They go for about a dollar a ball which isn't bad. I ordered from ttnpp some of these new...

Was practicing my backhand serve this morning. Always wanting to try to make my variations look similar. Discovered something I've never thought of before. Backhand serve. Fairly open face, the swing forward & under the ball. Where as in the past, my angle of my blade would be slightly...

I think it's fair to point out that the new ball is bigger. Lets say material never changed and we still had celluloid. Even in that case the spin would be slightly decreased because of the ball size. So to answer your question if we are ever going to get to the level of spin as it was before...

I'm pretty sure when someone says abs, they mean abdominals. As in the muscle. So clearly it's DHS Abdominals. The core muscles of the balls must be strong. #TheMoreYouKnow

lol at Net edges. I like it. So it seems a lot of tshirts are cotton. Any plans to get some of those synthetic non-sweat (think they're called dry fit) type of shirts? Basically the ones everybody exercises in. That's the only thing I often wear and certainly play TT in.

Congrats to all the winners....... btw, I hate you all. :p j/k

How is it determined who actually wins?

I try not to apply excessive pressure. I figure the more i stretch out the rubber, the more that could possibly shrink later on. IDK. I just press down enough for the rubber to stick on.

colesTT has videos on gluing sponges to rubbers. http://www.colestt.com/combining-topsheet-and-sponge.php Never know if you pull of your existing sponge from your topsheet if it'll come off clean or if it'll tear and you'll have a lot of work ahead of you. Honestly if I were just you i'd buy a...

Yeah. Not trying to be nit picky but if you're playing regularly in jeans, it kinda signals you're not super serious about it. Where was this filmed? Is this at your work? Try to find a local club and start going there regularly. As for grip and all that in wondering if you're doing it right...

Of all the current pros, I'd put Mizutani's serves right up there with just about anybody. Of course it's easy to see how much crazy amount of spin he can get and his touch but also look at his ball toss & contact point. Always right next to his body. Always on point. There's been times when...

When you first play with it, I'm sure it does feel like a lead weight. But just rest assured that's only because you're use to 1 sided rubbers. If you played with it for a week, you'd get use to it and it would soon start to become normal to you.

I have a better solution for you. If you want faster or easier attacks with your long pips, then you MUST try Dawei 388D-1 on a 1.5 sponge. That's my current setup and I am absolutely convinced it is the best/easiest attacking long pip on the planet. Dawei 388D-1 is a gripper long pip by...

Wow thanks. I'm always on the lookout for LP twiddlers and I've never seen this guy before. He's got game. I'm adding him to my LP twiddlers playlist. :) Cheers. my playlist if interested: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKqSWJv6VSgzmkFGAlD-TTKNYTt9-Ns6t

So I use a curled fingers approach on the back side for quick twiddling and I play with pips. At times the friction can grind away at your skin. So I bought like a package on 10 finger sleeves from ebay some time ago. Think i spent like 2 bucks. So worth it. Very comfortable and you never...

http://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/tsp-spectol-red TSP Spectol Red in black 1.7-1.9 thickness. I've recently discovered that you get what you pay for in rubbers even when comparing short pips. With the new 40+mm ball you need even more speed to keep up and this new Spectol Red is probably...

Got to admit was hoping for Ma Long's traditional pendulum serve that he gets so many players on. Here he's just practicing the punch serve... Could hit up some Par Gerell if I was hoping for that. Still, thanks to the OP for sharing.

genre, I'm just a big fan of this youtube channel so it's worth a subscribe. There is another younger guy in glasses that's an inverted/LP twidder who is pretty good also. He's in a good number of videos as well. All in all a good channel to follow if you like this style.

Get a load of this penholder in light blue. He's playing LPs n the FH & inverted on the BH. He doesn't twiddle however hits a pretty amazing reverse side inverted FH. And as you watch the match, he's doing it largely vs backspin balls. Amazing.

This is a really good video/thread. The quick hand motion fakes right after contact, yet still maintaining that good spin action is really impressive. I find this serve hard to do with penhold. I know Wang Hao somewhat featured this serve during a good portion of his career. But since your...
