  1. Best way to remove glue from rubbers?

    Hey, that's great. Good to know that this works as well. Thanks for sharing
  2. An Open Letter to the ITTF - Sports Interrogation

    No doubt. I don't question that, but sometimes it's just too hard to resist a good old haha. ;)
  3. An Open Letter to the ITTF - Sports Interrogation

    Man, this is just like a 'empty' high ball in the middle of the table... ... One just doesn't want to miss that opportunity. [Emoji23] Sorry Der_Echte, i just couldn't resist this one. I hope you can take a joke. ;) DTopSpirit: Holy smoke, that was deep. Another great episode. This does give...
  4. Rio Olympic Qualifier Tournament for North America

    Yeah, Kanak's made it. Good one
  5. WHO will be the next TTD member???

    Ooops... Hope i didn't overreact, but i think if Der_Echte wanted to advertise he would be doing it slightly different. ;) And besides there is so much of Advertisement all across the web, so promoting what you like isn't really an advertisement to me, but more like a personal recommendation...
  6. How to glue and what glue is the best?

    Well I can recommend the Revolution3 glue which is a wbg containing latex. A few months ago I actually had the same issue with my T05. (EDIT: only the T05, the H3N sticks firmly from day one.) With only one layer on the sponge and one on the blade it started coming off on the corners and...
  7. WHO will be the next TTD member???

    One can tell you haven't been reading forums for very long. Otherwise you wouldn't write such an accusation. You can find posts from Der_Echte from roundabout 10 years ago all over the web. No matter if Australian Forum, German forum, American Forum: he's been there, done that and even got the...
  8. New project: Old Stiga Kjell Johansson Allround wood

    I totally agree. I've tried that as well and it works excellent. Just try to pour a few drops between sponge and blade and carefully pull the sponge off. Whenever the sponge doesn't come off easily just pour a few drops more. The lighter fluid i've used is equivalent to gasoline. One of my...
  9. Rio Olympic Qualifier Tournament for North America

    I hope Kanak is gonna make it. I think that's gonna be a big step in his development if he can.
  10. World Table Tennis Day 2016

    Now my disguise is out of the window. [Emoji14] [Emoji23] One of the most difficult things in life is admitting when one isn't right, especially when one is still adolescent... As my jamaican friend would say: So forgiveth di youth dem
  11. World Table Tennis Day 2016

    I hope i've understood you right. Well anyway, here we go. Suga D's TT-grammar lesson #7 To, too and two: To: 1.) used as a preposition. Sample: he walks to(wards) the practice-hall. 2.) Or in front of an infinitive. Sample: i think i know how to play TT. Too: 1.) Meaning also / as well...
  12. Blocking - How to contact the ball

    You just gave me a good laugh. [Emoji23] Thanks for that. I guess you're right the second question surely seems bounce related to me too. For the first part I would say it depends. One person can read spin better and finds blocking passively easier, the next person has got quick feet and rather...
  13. everything feels so slow....

    I would've, but this rubber just doesn't appeal to me, since my game is relying a little more on spin than on speed. But someone whose reviews are trustable told me, that generating spin is, as you said, not that easy and recquires a very brushing contact, due to the short 'dwell' time since...
  14. Blocking - How to contact the ball

    Well, as i've already wrote before, i ain't no coach, so all I can write is mostly from self experience. That being said, I've started with first learning to block passively. After a while when you start feeling more comfortable with it, you can go more 'against' the ball and play more actively...
  15. proud of me now?

    There you've said it: Pretty much anyone that's been playing longer than a couple of months can look good 'against' a practice partner he'd or she'd be knowing for years. But playing good against someone you've never met and played before is a whole different Story, especially when it counts and...
  16. proud of me now?

    I've never been to any tournaments where you could chose your opponents, so not knowing your opponents is quite a normal thing. Also it helps one's ability to read opponents quickly. And people cheering and rooting for one is also quite a normal thing when you play team competition... [Emoji2]
  17. What the.....flipping heck

    Too bad i don't speak japanese, but I've never seen anything like this before. [Emoji2]
  18. everything feels so slow....

    I think in terms of spinning you might be right, but when it comes to flat hitting i'm not so sure...
  19. proud of me now?

    Have you seen Sebas-Kowabunga play? I think he knows pretty good what he's doing, and probably plays a little longer and better than the average forum member. :) EDIT: Kowabunga's the dude in the red Shorts and the fresh washed hair...
  20. DISCUSSION: Will ITTF switch back to celluloid balls if plastic balls failed?

    Sorry but I have to disagree. I'm not sure if this here really can be taken as a reference for the improvement of rallies since the usage of the p-ball. But I mean just take look at these two vids and decide for yourself. ;) C-Ball P-Ball
