SP penholders, especially if left handed.

These rubbers are legal. It is an important part of the sport. Every inverted player who encounters such a player should be happy. It is either a learning experience or maybe an easy win depending on who you and your opponent are. All good.

It would be good for the sport if Yinhe could make a leap to having their stuff used by more pros.

As for some people switching to anti or LP to cover a weakness, especially in serve return, there is no denying that this is true in many cases. However it only helps those players up to certain level and a decent server will easily make them pay for it. There are many ways to deal with...

The last two American players to reach the world top 30 were anti players on one side. Back in the 80s., before the two cokor rule. You give up a lot with anti and nowadays it would probably put a ceiling on your development. Rare styles can be effective especially at low to mid amateur...

I have known several former provincial team members who came directly to my city to coach. At the time they first arrive in the US, none used any Yinhe product. They all used Btfly or Stiga blades and DHS and Btfly rubbers of various sorts. A couple of others went from China to other places...

Imagine if you will being a non-fangirl of any player, just trying to watch matches at the WTTC while surrounded by several hundred of ZJK fangirls who apparently have no interest in anyone but their idol -- at a time when their idol is not playing. They don't really like TT. They don't know...

I manage to get hurt. Works every time like now.

I love the way you play (!!!!!) and I think we listen to a lot of the same artists. I suspect the teacher Carl was talking about would not have liked Bill Evans' body position either. Not to mention Keith Jarrett (a really extreme example). I think there are TT players like Monk. Ugly...

Things that can look different on the surface may not be that different on the fundamentals.

I started as a kid so my technique is pretty orthodox. And I have lost badly to some ugly looking players. But if you look closely, they made solid ball contact, read spin well, returned serve well, didn't beat themselves, and didn't get mad when they messed up. And their technoque didn't...

Going back a generation, nobody had better or smoother technique than Peter Karlsson. And he was a very good player but never a world top 10 (if I remember correctly, and if so, not for very much of his career). One thing I am convinced of, at all levels of play, everyone needs at least one...

Do a Youtube search for Eric Boggan. Granted he played quite a long time ago. He is a little older than Jorgen Persson.

No. Simple answer to simple question. In fact, trying to change certain things to conform to arbitrary considerations of stroke esthetics can make you worse. Especially for adults.

My septic tank is skeptical.

I have the impression that they treat the outer ply of the ZJK in some way that makes it feel harder and more shiney, even though it is the same kind of wood. Maybe it is UV light or something. Handles are quite different shape as already mentioned. Still, most people who like one could adapt...

Old memories. This topic was once the origin of the greatest flame war in the history of table tennis forums, featuring the infamous PNachtway and one or two other people vs about everyone else. If I remember correctly, it started at MyTT, eventually spread to OOAK forum. Now PN was one...

I really like what ttgearlab is doing.

Weight balance. And then some intangible stuff you can only tell in advance by playing. Same is true for stringed instruments. Some are just special.

The new hologram ones are pretty good and black tag ones are now insanely overpriced. I am lucky I bought my black tags several years ago. I wouldn't do it now. By the way, I have sold a couple of black tag ones that weren't that great. That tag is not a guarantee. . Weight matters a lot...
