  1. F ESP 1-0 ARG After Extra Time, FIFA World Cup 2026

    Hachioji is a bit far from Central Tokyo, too bad... maybe one day if there is an opportunity to go there the day before a tournament in that area for example
  2. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Today was the annual qualifying tournament to represent my "district" of Tokyo in the 50+ category. (There are 23 ku and 39 shi, making a total of 62 "districts." What is administratively called Tokyo is more like Greater Paris, not just Paris proper.) After the qualifiers, there is an...
  3. I got a new racket, what do I do with the old ones?

    Well I would discard them …. Or if not you can recycle them into art
  4. What kind of rubbers are long lasting and are controlable?

    Dignics05 and 80 last more than any other backside rubber I’ve ever had . Like 30% longer I’d say. So it justifies the price difference because the quality is better too
  5. F ESP 1-0 ARG After Extra Time, FIFA World Cup 2026

    Regarding Niwa the main question i would like to ask is: Did Niwa bet on the results of his own games ? or on other TT results games ? (he could be the accomplice of some other player who intentionally loses for example)... if he bet only on football or baseball its not as bad as if he bets on...
  6. Elbow getting very sore.... would a lighter racket help?

    a lot of good advice here already. I've been myself suffering from Tennis elbow since Dec23. it still hurts but ive recovered 75%. At the peak, i couldn't hit a single FH at all, i couldn't lift a heavy suitcase, or even a boiler full of water (around 3kg) I think the cause wasn't just TT but...

    I’ve seen on FB an advertisement for a “gravity belt “ which supposedly helps keeping a low posture in tennis. Looks like it could help us too. Has anyone tried such a thing ? Apart from the hefty price what do you guys think about it ? https://www.xpandstore.com/collections/xpand-your-game
  10. Top 5 annoying practice partners

    That’s my teammate. But he’s not improving much. Perhaps he will finally understand it’s not the right thing to just come and play practice games
  11. Which top player(s) inspired you to play?

    Grew up watching a bit Gatien. But after I started watching TT seriously I liked Samsonov calm and elegance. Wang Liqin world champ final match against Ma Lin was insane. But as for my own TT i like to watch girls play because I’m playing close to the table as well. Miu Hirano, Harimotos bro...

  13. How much do ping pong coaches charge per hour, where you live?

    I think the problem is more their potential lack of motivation rather than skill they choose coaching because they can't find a job outside TT, but they don't enjoy teaching old ladies or amateurs. At least they'd rather coach promising kids. But thats not where the most $$ is to be made..
  14. How much do ping pong coaches charge per hour, where you live?

    there are just too many good players and coaches here. Supply and demand. but also you have to think in Yen terms. Yen is very weak against Euro so if you come here in Japan, most things will seem cheap to you...except perhaps French wine or cheese because of transportation costs and various...

  18. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    Kuai Man is playing really great. she's well above WMY in G1 and G2. if she keeps on like this, she'll soon be taking her place in CNT A team
