  1. What are some habits I should look for in my opponents?

    Things I check right away. Do they move equally well in both directions? Where is their cross over point? Do they get impatient and try to win points with big shots? Do their serves come out too long?
  2. Best glues - Water Based or Latex Based

    Some of them tend to clump up a bit and dry too fast (Tearmender) but adding just a little ammonia stops that from happening. I still use Finezip. It is still trivial compared to cost of rubber and I get a perfect result everytime. Tearmender sometimes didn't.
  3. I find it difficult to adjust to the new 40+ balls after returning

    It took me about 6 months. I didn't need to change equipment but some of my club mates did. I found myself playing ever so slightly closer in. I think the 40+ ball drops slightly sooner. Anyway I dont even think about it now, but it's been five years. Just play. Don't think.
  4. I find it difficult to adjust to the new 40+ balls after returning

    I agree that it just takes a little time to reprogram your expectations. Things sucked worse in 2015 when the 40+ balls didn't bounce much.
  5. Comparison between ALC and ZLF

    Many pro players use fairly heavy blades, around 90g or more.
  6. Comparison between ALC and ZLF

    Hello dudes and dudettes? What's been up during my fairly long absence? Truth be told I've been road cycling more than playing TT these days. But I like this topic. So... I find ZLC and ALC to be sufficiently alike that I've never been able justify the extra cost of ZLC. Not identical...
  7. How is the women's game different from men?

    Taller players can cover their wide forehand side easier, and that simple fact alters many aspects of point construction, starting with the serve, and where a player can safely position themselves. Height also affects how close you can comfortably play. I'm sure that doesn't explain everything...
  8. what is a easy to use, none clumpy glue?

    I think you might want to try Revolution glue. Medium or thick viscosity.
  9. Everything you need to know: ITTF Presidency 2017!

    Gathering evidence? I suppose but it took several years. Unless the shady stuff Sharara was doing was over and above what we all pretty much knew he was doing. And of course it is not like they can force anyone to cooperate.
  10. Everything you need to know: ITTF Presidency 2017!

    Also the phrase inappropriate misconduct seems to imply that there exists a form of appropriate misconduct. We can all wonder if someone thinks that way.
  11. Everything you need to know: ITTF Presidency 2017!

    The main question I have is what took them so long?
  12. Scammers at MyTT

    http://mytabletennis.net/forum/topic67777_post1057093.html#1057093 I suggest reading the thread and be careful dealing with people in cities where scammers are known to reside. The worst ones have fortunately been from smaller municipalities in various places. I don't have much else to offer...
  13. New Butterfly rubber "Dignics 05" 2019

    I for one don't dig it.
  14. Scammers at MyTT

    In the Buy and Sell section at MyTT we have a sticky thread where we identify scammers. I ban them. Then they sometimes move here or sell on eBay. We just outed a pretty epic scammer there from Maryland. You may find it useful to check that thread to make sure you are not dealing with someone...
  15. Goat meat nutrition

    What is the best way to boost goat meat?
  16. Service grip conflicts with my FH/BH loop grip

    Everything is hard when you first start doing it. Don't get discouraged.
  17. Seal or not seal DHS Hurricane 301

    Apply a thin even coat. Let dry a few minutes. Repeat. Glue rubber the next day.
  18. Goat meat nutrition

    Pretty similar to lamb all in all. There are some Pakistani restaurants here in Houston that make amazing goat dishes. As for nutritional value, it is a little leaner than other red meats. Because of this, it is best in stews, curries and hotpots. And you can glue it on your BH side if you...
  19. Seal or not seal DHS Hurricane 301

    Hair spray works fine with WBG that I use, like Free Chack II or Finezip, But you have to reapply it when you change rubbers.
