Recall the following: Rule 16. You are required to serve legally which is sometimes whatever an umpire decides is legal (which in turn may require invocation of Rule 6). Rule 17 However you may not post threads on TT forums complaining about opponents who serve illegally. The gods require...

A question of taste (and maybe what you are used to). I tried the Carbonado 145, sold it to a clubmate. I normally use a Viscaria, pretty much the same as a Boll ALC. Never tried a 190. Ideally someone you know has one you can try.

Yes but until or if we see that, I'll stick with status quo.

On the other hand perceiving gratuitous apologies as a crime is a violation of Rule 6.

Ancient lore says that Stiga had a bunch of wood stored somewhere in northern Sweden where by luck it dried in some especially perfect way. The blades made from that lot of wood were especially perfect -- Clippers of that era -- but eventually they used up all that wood and never recreated the...

The answer is always to be found in The Rules.. 20 The correct number of blades to own is n + 1 where n is the number you own now. An exemption can be made for players in committed relationships, in which case the correct number is s-1, where s is the number of blades that causes your spouse or...

Ma Long until someone beats him in a really huge event.

Including MX-P contravenes the spirit of Rule 88, even if it does not directly violate it.

I figured "of all time" included the era from around 1992 to 2008. It made Sriver obsolete. MX-P is certainly the most popular "alternative to Tenergy 05".

Bryce was king for that period after Mark V and Sriver but before the 2008 speed glue ban, which marked the beginning of Tenergy. A lot of the pros using Tenergy in 2010 were using glued Bryce in 2007.

At the moment my personal favorite is Rule 77. You are not allowed to signal to a doubles partner what serve you will use unless you actually know how to execute more than one serve.

That would be my guess too. But it ignores amateur players in China who exist in millions and who have not used any of these except maybe quite recently.

Bad juju occurs irrespective of physique. Do not risk bad juju with TT Gods. Obey.

Disallowed. On hot days Rule 6 applies. Ba'al has spoken.

That. And also Rule 88.

Well and good. However: Rule 51. Deep or contentious discussions of physics in threads on table tennis forums should probably be avoided. Exceptions can be made for players with doctorates in aerospace engineering who have playing levels of 2300 or greater.

He should contemplate Rule 88.

Obey Rule 2. Then people would need to find some other bizarre reason to go through life whilst aggrieved.

Hell Carl, not just walking or running, most people drive unconsciously, and that is a pretty complex skill that is pretty hard and scary at first. Anyway, I would not attempt to change someone's wrist unless somehow it was really obvious that it was hurting their shot. The other thing is...

Rule 73. Upon joining a table tennis forum you are not allowed to engage in any flame war until your second month even if someone is wrong on the internet, especially in reply to threads that have had no activity in more than five years.
