Yes. I certainly hope DHS has not made good balls crappy now. We will know soon enough.

Good points all. Actually, even good amateur players cannot fully appreciate the spin pro players put on the ball until they actually play with them. I have had the privilege of playing with pro and former pro players many times. It still amazes me. When they push, it is insanely heavy...

This is a pretty convincing picture. That is interesting, suggests there has been a change in how they make the balls. Bear in mind, though, that the Nittaku Premium also has a very very thin seam, so much so that you kind of hold it up to the light to see it. I wonder if they licensed the...

I understood it was just for fun. The reason is a few months ago someone had a 38 mm Nittaku ball at our club (he had found it in one of his old bags) and some of us tried to play with it. After all this time with 40 and 40+ balls, all of our strokes were too big and nothing we did still...

I think you would find this to not be very enjoyable to watch.

It seems to me that this is exactly what ITTF was trying to do when they (1) banned speed glue, (2) banned booster, (3) increased ball size from 37.5 to 39.5 and then from 39.5 to 40.5. Why did they do this? ITTF is not just one person so various people probably supported the idea for...

Viscaria. Don't worry about fishscale.

Yes. At 11 11th St

The other thing is that players imitate the best players. Kong Linghui looked like a European player in the time of Waldner, Persson, Primorac et al. And then Wang Liqin came along, and Ma Long (especially) and a lot of other CNT look like an updated version of him. (And that is about the...

There are different ways of looking at this. Some of these trends in how people play have been underway for a long time. Just watch how Gatien played. Korbel with his BH flick, and on and on. Even a Kreanga BH rip from off the table is something you see top players doing quite often now...

My new sheets of Karis M played better than my 9-month worn ones but not insanely better. It was time for new ones but I don't think I waited too long. Amazing.

Anywhere USA Table Tennis Store. On Main St. Somewhere near you. Our motto: Trust us!

By the way, Viscaria O series is not rare and I have one and it is nothing special as a series. I have several M and N as well. Now my H and I series, those are special. I have bought new ans used Viscarias for years but I would not buy from you without a lot more feedback and many high...

Here is another thing. This is clearly a non-authorized dealer. Therefore high chance of fake blades. Authorized Btfly dealers can only sell within their region. Dodgy and he has been banned at MyTT.

It will be interesting to see how this plays in China! Rainnever, I hope you will let us know later what people are saying.

And once you figure that out -- that you get what you give -- when using Karis and backed off the table, just let the ball rip hard and make sure you relax and let your body rotate fully. And which what happens! First the ball will land on the table. Second it will fly through the air very...

I finally replaced two sheets of Karis M that I had put on my Viscaria in late January! Nine months of use, three times per week on average. Durability is beyond belief. I like it just as much as ever. By the way, the last time I kept rubbers sheets on a blade that long was when I was in...

Assuming glue has a density about the same as water, and some of it evaporates, 5 grams does not seem like a lot. I use the same glue exactly the way you describe it, and that is the best method for getting good even adhesion with that glue for most sponges.

I wonder, based on the way he missed the shot right before all that. Changing blades like that was as likely to mess himself up as do anything to the opponent. Still, he should have shown the umpire the racket immediately.

i was just about to point this out. In fact, I spend a lot of time training third balls by giving a practice partner a serve that he can do many different things with. I also don't hit the third ball too hard, because I want it to come back. I am basically practicing the choreography of...
