  1. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    @Michal: Have you been hiding this vid from me? [Emoji12] BTW: nice play by Alex BUT EVEN BETTER PLAY BY KEINI [Emoji15] But Alex is still young and can learn and improve. I think that unnecessary complaint about a not so hidden serve has distracted him and brought him into a negative draft...
  2. Which is the best blade for chinese rubber?

    well everyone has his own interpretations, but i understand that what you call universalism as an invitation to post a video to give a more precise advice. Not saying that you´re reading it wrong, but i think it´s in the eyes of the beholder to find a wrong advice more useful than no real...
  3. Which is the best blade for chinese rubber?

    IMHO you could have left out everything you´ve written before that, ´cause it all comes down to this and that would be actually nothing else than what panany and Carl have written before Maybe generalisations aren´t very helpful but so could one say is a blade suggestion of a blade like the...
  4. German League 2017/2018

    Actually not. Kou Lei finally managed to turn the switch. He's actually been the matchwinner last week and this week! [Emoji6] Or did you mean against Gerassimenko?
  5. German League 2017/2018

    You could actually ask him directly since Björn is also a member of this forum. [Emoji12]
  6. Share your Racket's Photo

    Lovely photos. Also never heard of 'Awan' before. How does it feel to you? Do you know of any other blades containing this type of wood? Sounds interesting.
  7. New Equipment 2017

    Thanks. I've just posted this here in an other thread: What i would like to add to the above, the sponge feels softer as the 54°degree hardness suggests and the topsheet is also tacky enough to make non-adhesive protection sheets stick to it.
  8. Good tacky rubber to use unboosted on forehand?

    I just glued up my 'Golden Tango' to one of my backup blades, but i won't be able to test it briefly before mid december, and the first half of our season is over. So two weeks i've gotta keep my patience. What i can say is it is able to lift a ball for a few secs and is as bouncy as a freshly...
  9. MA LONG SERVE TRAINING - Slow Motion, Short Form, Rare Private Record.

    I don't know. While i think it's nice that you acknowledge the art of serving 'tricky', your opinion is pretty unique and opposite to most TT-viewers opinions that seemed to be getting tired of watching 3-ball (or even 2-ball) 'rallies', which has been one of the reasons why the hidden serve...
  10. What are the unwritten rules of table tennis?

    Hahaha Thanks for sharing. [Emoji2]
  11. Five Arylate Carbon Blades - Which one would you choose and why?

    That's basically because of the flatter throw angle and the longer trajectory, but can easily compensated with the right touch and racket angle. So Yeah, as i said: close to the table there's not very much that a composite can do that an allwood can't. [Emoji6]
  12. The New World Ranking System Explained - January 2018!

    Tony, i hope you know my post wasn't addressed towards you. I don't know why you put yourself in that bracket. Your not hiding behind unknown identity opposed to many hatespreaders on the web. I mean just look at the comments underneath ITTF YouTube vids or on FB or actually even here on TTD as...
  13. The New World Ranking System Explained - January 2018!

    Thanks again TT Guru for your insightful answer and taking time to reply so detailed. Your post makes a lot of sense. I've heard that ball production and transport in the c-ball era has been more than hazardous, but never met someone whose set one on fire personally. Hope nothing serious...
  14. Five Arylate Carbon Blades - Which one would you choose and why?

    Brilliant Excellent! Short and precise. Both of you. I wonder why these two marvellous posts got burried. The point is to get what is beneficial to your game. So that should be the main deciding factor. So if your game is solid and you don't make a lot mistakes on the first three balls then...
  15. Neuromuscular compatibility in tabletennis !

    Carl, your example with the drummer is brilliant. [Emoji2]
  16. German League 2017/2018

    Ahh, i see. No worries. We all pull the short straw every now and then. ;) It will start in 2h anyways. Maybe next time.
  17. Black Friday for table tennis

    [Emoji15] Sounds like an indecent proposal. An offer that one can´t refuse. [Emoji2] That sounds almost to good to be true. Just seen it. Thanks
  18. The New World Ranking System Explained - January 2018!

    Understood. Well, maybe I´m just not smart enough to understand your kind of logic, but to me your post misses my point entirely. I wrote that time will tell if the new ranking system will show if it´s good or not and added that so far not every change made was a good change, by giving the...
  19. Spanish Open

    Two players from Germany Wan Yuan and Dennis Klein managed to make it to the knockout stage today. But today it will be real hard. Dennis is facing Yoshimura Kazuhiro and Yuan has to Play against Bernie Szöcs, but both are also still playing in U21 competition too.
  20. The New World Ranking System Explained - January 2018!

    I don´t want to get off-topic too much, so just a two-liner: that might be fine and apply to you if play at home or just privately at your club, but if you play competitive in a league or tournaments you can NOT decide with what you play, you HAVE to use what´s there!
