  1. China Table Tennis Super League-2022

    I think you mean mesomorph body type.
  2. Celluloid balls are back???

    The "recycling" industry is a politically motivated, half assed attempt. It really needs more regulation and standards. Unfortunately celluloid is a hazardous material and can't be easily shipped. So it's back to ABS the lesser of two evils.
  3. New Cybershape from STIGA

    I think the new shape does have more surface area but I don't usually hit on those edges. So it wouldn't make much of a difference for me. I've played with the Cybershape and it didn't help me one way or another. Looking back at when Prince made the oversized tennis racket it had a much...
  4. Celluloid balls are back???

    Thanks for the insight. It's good to know that the ABS is almost infinitely recyclable. I just have a question about the celluoid. Is that non recyclable? It seems they are very fragile/volatile so they would quickly melt.
  5. New Cybershape from STIGA

    I don't agree with that. BF came out with a new fiber material made of wood. I haven't tried it yet but it's new technology. Stiga has only changed the shape and came up with a big marketing push. But the actual composite technology is not that new.
  6. New Cybershape from STIGA

    It looks like Stiga is going down market from the original. The new blades look like they're slower and cheaper for less advanced players.
  7. 5 Things Table Tennis Players Hate

    Playing long pips is like fumbling in the dark. You struggle and struggle until you flip on the light. Once you learn how to lift chop consistently the lights will come on. Once the light is on you will never turn it off and know how to play LP. Just remember LP cannot dictate spin. They...
  8. 5 Things Table Tennis Players Hate

    Yes, I hate that. People who won't hit to you properly during warm up even though I hit it to them in the exact same spot. I used to think they didn't have enough control but during the game they have plenty of accuracy.
  9. Anyone tried Victas V>22 yet?

    Sorry I've never tried V>15. I can only compare to Hammond Z2 and Dragon grip.
  10. Backhand Rubber for Flicks - Fastarc G1 vs other rubbers

    I actually like Dragongrip and Hammond Z2 for flicks. They have good grip on soft shots.
  11. A sticky rubber is a bad choice ....

    As stated before by Amit. I don't use sticky rubbers and changed to a hybrid because of the slowness. In order to use slow, sticky rubber you have to have good technique and good footwork to get yourself into position to make a full stroke. It's hard to hit a good shot when you are not in...
  12. Anyone tried Victas V>22 yet?

    I'm liking the V22 more and more. The grip feels like the ball is locked onto the rubber when I hit it. I've switched my Z2 to the BH. It flicks really well with spin and control. I landed 8/10 flicks during one match. With K3 I would miss a lot more.
  13. ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup-2022

    The Iranian Noshad uses a western tennis grip for his forehand. He's definitely ambidextrous.
  14. Hammond Z2

    Yes, compared to other rubbers my shots bounce closer to the net and not as deep as others given the same swing speed.
  15. Hammond Z2

    I just put my Hammond Z2 max on my Amultart blade. The speed doesn't seem that fast. My opponent remarked that he thinks the penetration on my shots are shorter than the previous Xiom Omega VII I used. I feel the spin is better and control is better but not that fast. I have to play some...
  16. Anyone tried Victas V>22 yet?

    Just put my V>22 on my ZJK blade. I really like the rubber. Its got really amazing grip almost like a tacky H3. Speed is med fast with good control. Faster than H3 but not as powerful as Dragon Grip. Throw angle is medium. Don't know about longevity but I hope the performance doesn't drop...
  17. Pan American Table Tennis Championships-2022

    How come it looks like Hugo won 3-0?
  18. Using a softer rubber in a cold venue?

    Wow, if a club did that here no one would play there! I've noticed that in winter my rubber is a little harder and slightly less grippy. I feel in the summer months my rubber feels much more grippy. However in high humidity it can slip. Therefore your assumption on using softer rubber when...
  19. Anyone tried Victas V>22 yet?

    Is it tacky? How high is the throw angle?
  20. Anyone tried Victas V>22 yet?

    Saw the new rubber V>22. Sounds interesting. Just wondered if anyone has tried it yet and what the impressions are.
