  1. Protective Sheet

    http://www.presports.com/miscellaneous/538-andro-rubber-protective-film-adhesive.html something like this? Tacky sheets are useless on european rubbers, basically they are useless for every rubber. Its just a marketing trick for the companies to make more money. If you want your rubbers to be...
  2. How does a rubbers thickness effect it's play?

    Well thicker sponge definitely gives more spin (when it is compressed to its maximum of course) and less control than a thinner one. I dont know about the pros but I saw a documentary about wang hao zhang jike ma lin etc and LGL said that before beijing olympics wang hao was in perfect form...
  3. How does a rubbers thickness effect it's play?

    Thats an interesting point of view, since you also happen to be a physics fan (thats obvious hehe) . About the 1mm 2mm rubbers I dont think it would be half the speed because we dont know if the whole impact and spring phenomenon acts in a linear behaviour. And there is also the wood layer...
  4. How does a rubbers thickness effect it's play?

    Yeap the term force was wrong. Lets "replace" it with "work" If a thicker rubber (larger spring) needs 10 Joules (just saying) to be fully compressed then the thinner rubber (smaller spring) will be compressed also, its just the law of Hooke actually. The difference is that the energy released...
  5. How does a rubbers thickness effect it's play?

    For the same amount of effort that compresses a sponge the thicker sponge is faster/spinnier. It is like a spring, if you compress a larger spring with the same modulus of elasticity and then compress with the same amount of force a smaller spring, the larger spring will release more energy A...
  6. Is it possible to switch blades on a bat?

    Once you peel them off they will automatically shrink most likely, especially if they are tensor rubbers or if you stretched them too much after you glued them Measure the old and new blade dimensions and compare them Put 6-8 drops of some booster and they will expand enough to fit the new...
  7. this player deserves an award

    i dont see any player or a blade
  8. Composition of Blades

    I think its one of the most important threads in TTD
  9. Hardness of sponge - what does it mean

    It doesnt have to do with angles. Harder sponges are usually more dense sponges (when comparing the same rubber with the same topsheet of course. for example T05 FX with T05)! I dont know exactly how the degrees are measured but here is a clue regarding number/degrees...
  10. Is weight gain/muscle gain detrimental to table tennis?

    Of course its possible as long as you dont bulk up too much
  11. Disappointed with ITTF grand finals 2014

    Well ITTF surely lacks in developing the sport. Chasing a TT career as a western kid is somehow more difficult than being a chinese. European kids will try other sports more popular etc etc. What really disappoints me is that coaches in Europe are not doing a good job. Isnt it weird that young...
  12. Is weight gain/muscle gain detrimental to table tennis?

    If you want to focus on explosiveness just lift the weights as fast as possible but with proper technique. Squats and lunges are perfect for TT you can search various legs and torso exercises on youtube Now for the fibers ...slow twitch fibers are activated when the fast ones are completely...
  13. Is weight gain/muscle gain detrimental to table tennis?

    Your weight/height are totally fine. Its actually pretty simple, if u gain pure muscle mass through proper training and diet you will be definetely faster. Adding 2 kgrs of muscle mass and 5 kilos of fat then obviously you are doing it wrong. To play proper TT you need both strong/explosive...
  14. An Article that used Maths to prove that receiving first is an advantage

    Well for example of players like zhang jike and ma long or dima and boll Im afraid I will have to disagree (on the part that "they would do anything"). They know each other so well that serving/receiving (at the beginning of the match) does not play an important role to the final outcome. I mean...
  15. An Article that used Maths to prove that receiving first is an advantage

    That's not important , even if they did it doesnt necessarily make their decision more logic or safe. Players keep the serve just for psychological reasons only, you have the chance for an early lead of 2-0
  16. An Article that used Maths to prove that receiving first is an advantage

    I love scientific analysis and I really enjoyed this article but the detail on giving or keeping the serve does not worth the study. Why? Well we are not sure that the set will go on 9-9. Besides its better to study the opponent thoroughly than to rely on mathematics. The probability of a match...
  17. Wang Liqin 9 World Cup appearances

    Of course there was a limit in Olympics and wttc. Winning the wttc is more difficult than the olympics though...from the 32 round and after 90% of the players were top50 of world ranking. Winning 3 wttc like WLQ did is an immense achievement. On the other hand Ma lin won 5 world cups and wang...
  18. Difference between Red and Black rubbers

    Red or black it doesnt matter. Using some edgetape wil do the job like der ecthe said. The topsheet is the same, they just change the color using different dyes
  19. What does blade flexing mean?

    So what is your actual question here? Every material vibrates, some more others less. Flexibility is a different characteristic, off course a flexible blade will vibrate more under the same force applied per same amount of time (comparing to a hard blade). Vibrating blades or to be more...
  20. Aruna Quadri's forhand loop analysed by Chinese Coach

    I agree if you are talking only about the family guy video and not about the thread starter and me. When it comes to the video its mostly a matter of sense of humor (or perspective of "funny", what is funny to me may be insulting to you and that situation is totally normal and ok, we are all...
