That's exactly right. She loves rhythm and short, quick rallies. I'm quick too but if I get into a quick rally with her I usually can't keep up. My only fallback is to back up to get a longer wind up and power loop. At that point I just over power her.

Don't forget Hugo destroyed him the last time.

Thanks for all the coaching guys. I got a lot of good input. I agree that heavy spin will give me a big advantage since she doesn't like to play back. So it would be very difficult for her to keep it on the table. I will try to keep spinning heavy but I do remember when I've tried it before...

There's a girl in my club that is really good. Probably around 1900. She beats all the other women in the area and can beat most men too. If you play her game which is close to the table and quick short rallies she will out play you due to her quickness. If a man can get her to play back...

At first I thought this was April fools. lol This would be great to promote TT in the US.

I'd like to try it but they're really pushing the prices up. It's much over the $50 mark. It seems newer rubbers are testing the waters to reach $60. Maybe due to inflation but they're really pushing the limits.

Victor I share your sentiments on dragon grip. I liked it a lot at first but with the longevity and supply issues I've moved on to other comparable rubbers. Is the Donic Bluestar tacky at all? How is it for short/soft shots?

Yup you're right. There's no avoiding it. But it's something I try not to do.

Well I used to buy non table tennis supplies as well. Some arrived damaged due to poor packaging, products that are very different than what was described, of course it's very cheap quality. And the biggest factor of course is supporting a government that supports genocide and doesn't play by...

I'm very suspicious about buying anything off of Aliexpress.

Just amazing how he can play at that level with an unconventional game. It's always amazes me how many different styles of TT there can be. I would have a really hard time with an opponent like this.

I'm not sure I agree with that assessment. The competitor rubbers are very long lasting as well. Certainly close to if not the same life as D09c. At half the price they only need to last half as long to justify the value. However they last much longer than half the life therefore I would...

I've never understood of the appeal of BTY rubbers. They are a terrible value. Are competitor rubbers that cost half as much that much less in performance? Absolutely not. There are plenty of rubbers that cost half as much that delivers the same or better performance IMO. I'd choose Xiom...

Let's face it Table Tennis is not exactly a rich sport. There's only so much money being paid by sponsors and so many people interested in it around the world. Compared to golf where there are millions(billions?) in sponsorships and the top 1000 tour players are rich. Flying around in their...

I've tried Hammond Z2 at the same time as V22. I would have to say I liked the V22 better. For me it had better grip but the speed is about the same between the two.

I've played with both and like both. I like the K3 for FH. It's slightly tacky so good grip on short balls. The hardness gives me good control and speed away from the table. With V22 it is slightly softer like what others said. I like it for short flicks or soft shots. Away from the table...

I'm not just talking about TTD. I'm talking in general (ie a 20 yo versus a 40 yo player) or even a 30 yo versus 60 yo. There would be a marked difference in physical ability.

Yes, you do improve game tactics but young people can always learn tactics but older people will never be able to improve footwork. It's just physically impossible.

I've always thought there should be some type of handicap system for pong. Like one point advantage for every 10 years of age difference. Since footwork is so important with age your footwork definitely is the first to go. Sadly, the only thing seniors do to compensate is usually they go to...

Must be my monitor. The picture of the black rubber looked a little greyish.
