  1. Dwindling number

    My theory is: TT is one of the sports which is playable in higher age, and so it is perceived as not as demanding by parents. In young age you can also do demanding things, and other sports compete for parents decision. For example, my kids do Judo, and I am wholeheartedly convinced it is the...
  2. Picking up the ball under physical theory.

    And this same inertia will let the ball rotate longer (as Lazer said) - and perhaps this is what Igor is observing... Perhaps - I don't know - the amount of spin you can give to a ball is not so much limited by the kinetic energy of the bat (there is plenty) but rather by the friction - then...
  3. Joola Rhyzen ZGR vs Bluegrip c2 etc. for Hurricane 3 replacement

    Yes, quite hard, gives a kind of metallic sound. The problem is the durability, it quickly became "mate". If you are into those, Rakza Z (cca 50 deg.), and Rakza Z EH (cca 54 or 55? deg.) is more durable. For H3 H39, RZ could be good replacement. I mean, nothing can be, but in the style your...
  4. Help me decide on a rubber (final)

    Hi, you are very enthusiastic and you have started several discussions about rubbers. There is 10T rubbers out there, it's very tempting, for me too. But I will now cross the line and tell you my opinion: Instead of being obsessive about the rubbers, get obsessive about acquiring the proper...
  5. Bfly too expensive, rubber advice please

    You could explore the Rakza family. Durability is good.
  6. Will Truls beat Fan Zhendong?

    No. FZD wins 4:1. Let's blame myself/ourselves...
  7. What is STIGA Cybershape?

    Absolutely, very impressive against LYU. He's great to watch. The loss to TM must felt soo bitter. Against FZD, well, perhaps it would be good, but imho, very very little chance. I better shut up now. Cheers.
  8. What is STIGA Cybershape?

    It was different. It was tight. Last 2 sets he was the better player. Pitty for TB, I'd wish he wins it whole. Was in great shape and injury or whatever comes...
  9. Is Truls the new Waldner??

    Many are really talented. For example, LYU or WCQ. My impression when I see LYU is like, wow, that is so obviously hugely beautiful (and also kind of physical), but when I see TM, I think more like, wow, that is bat-shit crazy (also kind of mental). Well, that's my impression anyways...
  10. Is Truls the new Waldner??

    :-)) He has the spark. Otherwise we wouldn't be discussing, would we?
  11. Need new rubber

    What do you dislike on those rubbers?
  12. Frustration over first non pre-assembled blade

    It's possible your new blade is actually slower than the premade one, but that should not cause what you say. There is a *minor* possibility the rubbers are not glued properly. Check if the bat plays the same on both sides. If you want to be 100%, reglue the rubbers yourself, you'll need it...
  13. World Table Tennis Championships 2021

    Nice display of respect from Lebesson.
  14. Top Spin vs Loop Kill

    YEEES! What a fine way! Zeio's term should be reduced, at least equalized :-) You can't shut the sun anyway! And black-hole neither, for that matter :-) Not that I have much against the high quality state of the matter in the black-hole though :-)
  15. World Table Tennis Championships 2021

    Watch on table 3 later today... See schedule here... Edit: Tipiak won :-)
  16. H3N 37 Degrees

    Yes, it can. No need to worry. For example, I prefer H37 on backhand to H39 or harder. So many options... Anyways, I think your choice is good, many people use it.
  17. H3N 37 Degrees

    Good to hear something like this for a change :-) Cheers.
  18. Tackiness versus grippiness

    Out of curiosity, approx. how much difference in % are we dealing with? If not available, no problem. And as usual, thanks for the useful closing remarks. Similar like those in the paddle mass thread.
  19. Looking for non-tacky rubbers

    I didn't. Too bolschevik even for me.
