  1. Is it allowed to play with a Deadbat ?

    Not approved by ittf regulations for sure... So if you want to play hardball with this guy, you shouldn't allow it. If you think you are man enough to face it, let it be...
  2. Video: Me, myself and I doing Topspin Forehand Warmup HD

    Thanks for the advice guyz. This was exactly the reason why I posted this. I find it really helpful, because I don't have a trainer or high-level players around that point out these kinds of things to me. I'm generally good at seeing mistakes with other people's techniques, but it's always good...
  3. Table Tennis Injuries

    I currently have trouble at the inside of my ankles. Orthopaedic soles to put in my shoes should do the trick here. But I also need to rest since both my ankles have inflamed. Sometimes I get a lot of trouble of my left hip, crawling up my spine. My shoulder ligaments can't bear the big...
  4. xiom close to tenergy

    The topsheet of xiom is very different from Tenergy Rubbers Tenergy 05 is definately harder than 64, no doubt whatsoever

    Okay, Vega... I'll be waiting!
  7. Video: Me, myself and I doing Topspin Forehand Warmup HD

    Hello there Below you can see a video of myself (in grey shirt) warming up my topspin forehand. It is my favourite stroke and although I'm working hard on my backhand all the time, I tend to rely and depend on the topspin FH to win the point/match. Therefore, I can't afford to neglect my FH...
  8. is it luck?

    I'm thinking predictability issues as well. I play a lot of the same guyz as well, because we have a pretty small club so I don't have many training partners. Even tonight I played this guy that likes to flick short underspin serves on his FH side. So every time I serve on an important point...
  9. TE 05FX substitute

    Hi there I wonder what you guys would recommend as a good alternative for the BTY 05fx rubber. It doesn't feel ultrasoft to me, so has anyone any idea where it would be situated in rubber hardness compared to the other brands. For example, if I would like to substitute it with Rakza 7, Hexer...
  10. Receiving very strong backspin?

    What does 'varsity' mean?
  11. Most effective serves

    For those interested: You can serve a dead ball by brushing through the ball with the 'head' of your paddle facing downwards. This gives the ball a little bit of underspin, but after the second bounce the spin is gone after it slowed down the ball. The 'stop' in forward movement often confuses...
  12. Most effective serves

    dead balls disguised as underspin can give wonderful results if your opponent doesn't see it. The change of the angle of the blade is so subtle that many players fail to notice it. Either they spin/hit it long off the table, or they try to push it back way too high :D
  13. Odd question on movement!

    You MUST keep on your toes! If you do that, it'll be pretty hard not to move :p
  14. Receiving very strong backspin?

    If there is too much backspin on the ball, then try to open your bat nearly horizontally and gently guide the ball SHORT over the net without adding more speed or spin. Try to remove any speed from you touching the ball. If you don't get too much backspin from your opponent, you should either...
  15. Andro Hexer

    I think it's a typo: loke - like :)
  16. Just saw this mini table tennis double on video

    Just bought a mini-table like this to put in the club-cafetaria for late-night-prop-betting :D It's great fun! At Decathlon (European players will know) you can get it for 20€ with 2 mini-bats included... There's also a video on youtube with Ma Long vs Liu Giolang playing the mini-pong :p
  17. Rubber choice -> What would you pick?

    It is too expensive to keep buying BTY rubbers when playing 4 hour sessions 3 times a week. That's what's wrong with the current setup :p I meant, by hearing the buzz online, or the talk by other players, the calibra would be the next best thing to Tenergy... That's why I was surprised...
  18. Rubber choice -> What would you pick?

    This is kind of strange. I thought the calibra should be the best rubber... But hey, I get a better price on the Rakza7, so this might be very nice!
