Yes I agree with that, how long has Dima been doing that, I don't remember seeing it before much!

I am sure it has been discussed before, but for me. Harimoto is not a child anymore in table tennis terms certainly not. He needs to grow up a bit and cut back on his choing. It really is disrespectful to cho points that were not amazing. He does it too much, it's just really annoying. I...

Ha ha Carl!! Self perception, LOL!

Lula on this shot that you quote as I hit hard, I am still playing a slightly normal rubber shot as I am lifting and coming over the ball. Is this ok in your opinion?? Lasta keeps telling me to hit flatter, this is not that flat a hit is it.

Baal, oh wise one. Is there a rule that deals with opponents apologising when I serve in the net!!

This is a crime, I will ask Baal why it is not on the rules sent to us by the gods!!

I have had this rubber about two weeks now and used it several times, think it's broken in now and it feels even better, probably I am getting better at using it too. It is so spinny, it really is a super rubber!!

Sometimes I aim for the middle of the table. I play with a player who just whacks everything down the middle, when you knock with them the ball goes all over the place, he cant put it in the same place for 3 or 4 shots. To me he is lucky, he just blasts down the middle and the ball goes all...

I see a lot of players bitch and moan about nets and edges. I agree of a massive misread shot they can be extremely fortunate. However, if you are a brave player (like me) with your positioning of the ball, I play wide and long when I can you are going to get edges. I get a lot of edges. But...

i have an acoustic large flared handle, 92g

I actually like Mima Ito's drooping shoulders, smiles and other expressive body language, probably it is not the utmost in professionalism, but I am fed up of watching robot players. I think it makes her more compelling to watch and gives me more empathy for her than many of the other players...

Everyone should do a large print version and post it up at your local club. It should be translated into all the languages of the world and posted in other languages too!

Baal, here is the full list in one place!! New "Rules" for Table Tennis These are inspired by "The Rules" a set of guidance originally provided to Road Cyclists by a group called the Velominati. Here are an analogous set of rules for our sport. 1. Wipe your damned sweat off the table. 2. No...

Patrick your review on TT11 was very accurate. trained for 2 hours then played a match last night. I can't believe how good it is on drives!! I have always blocked well with any Hurricane and this is better. Serves are so spinny, but just adjusting to that. And counter loops as you described...

This rubber is incredible!! It is faster than any Hurricane I have used before. It is so spinny on full shots. Serves are nuts spinny. Blocks are incredible. It does punish you if you are playing a bad shot, but it is awesome when you play a good one. But here is the thing it is so much...

Would people say the throw is higher than DHS Hurricane 3 Neo? Do you think players that have used DHS H3Neo a lot will find the adjustment seamless? Not too big a jump in technique improvement needed? I use a Force Pro Blue, will this be suitable?

Thanks Patrick, I use pips too on force pro blue, so I will have to make it work on that if I decide to use it. I ordered a sheet, so we will see!! Excellent reviews BTW, very informative!!

Patrick, can I ask, I am really wanting to try the Pro Blue rubber, but on paper that sponge sounds way too hard. I feel you are a really good player, I am a mortal player. I can play with Hurricane Neo, do you think it would be a very big skill jump to go to the Pro Blue. I like the...

Patryk do you think it would last longer if one only used it for matches and i guess had a second blade for training. Then the 60 hours might take longer than if used in training too.

I suffer from the same problem, I am so much better when I am warm. I think a good warm up before playing is important, so when you hit your first ball you are already warm.
