  1. China Open 2018

    Really great table tennis, LJK has FZD flashes but Timo beat him in 4th game with great serve and receive.
  2. China Open 2018

    Timo is pulling up his black magic again, 10-10 from down 3-10 in 3rd! But that was it, lost 10-12 and being down 1-2 overall.
  3. China Open 2018

    And both are hitting crazy shots in 3rd game, match to watch!
  4. Zhang Jike or Tomokazu Harimoto... Who you picking?

    I disagree. Yes, it was ugly defeat but as you say Harimoto is top player so it's not total flop for ZJK. He managed second WT qualification in the row against decent opponents and if the goal is Tokio 2020 (anything else doesn't make sense) then it still can go on. To meet that goal he must...
  5. New here

    Hi SideShot, nice to have you here! You might consider to introduce yourself more (like how long have you been playing, what level you are, what equipment you use, what's your style, how you train...) here: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?12-Introduce-yourself-to-the-forum!-)
  6. The earnings of the stars

    I feel this new thread as redundant because this was discussed several times, last time early 2018 here: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?16878-How-much-Tabletennis-pro-players-make-a-year
  7. Service grip

    I do understand that but it makes it much harder to help;) Your English seems to be perfect so you probably better watch some good tutorials like these from Tomorrow Table Tennis, the guy is speaking about service a lot including basics like how to hold racket for pendulum/backspin serves etc...
  8. Freitas switched to Maze again

    Right, I was probably too hard on Marcos. He was pretty opened in the youtube review of his blade with Dan, however I believe the marketing message from Butterfly isn't so honest. The same for other players like ZJK (he is using Viscaria for his entire PRO career but they have few pretty...
  9. Freitas switched to Maze again

    Yes, there are very few pictures where he would use his signature blade and these look all like butterfly promo photo shoot. In all real competition photos I've seen he holds Maze. Again similar to FZD thread which was resurrected few days ago I find it kind of said to make marketing buzz around...
  10. Donic Clip on Ball Holder

    Here you go: http://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/donic-ballbasket I like it for multi-ball sessions, just be careful because it slowly destroys table edges if moved regularly (I've seen one where it's used every day and basically all 3 edges of trainer's side were full of small bites). It's...
  11. Who are the best makers of custom built blades?

    From purely hand-made manufacturers I've seen only Vodak (http://www.vodak-dreva.cz/) which is well known and regarded by players in CZ and SK including many professionals but because Mr. Vodak has only CZ web page (on purpose I believe;) he isn't much known on English speaking forums (although...
  12. Fan Zhendong equipment

    If you are getting TT equipment only because some pro uses it then definitely buy all of them! And couple more to be safe... If you read the thread carefully you understand that you will never get in the shop the same blade as pros. There are some exceptions like prott.vip eshop where you can...
  13. Who are the best makers of custom built blades?

    Yes, what is the intention of your question Lightzy? Do you want just list of good builders to purchase from? Or do you have some specific criteria you go after?
  14. Is there at the moment any short-pips player in the TOP 100?

    There are also several girls with SP in top 100 of WR, probably the best of them being Mima Ito.
  15. Hong Kong Open 2018

    If you men Liam then I doubt they will meet, 3rd round is the last in qualification and then he should meet one of 32 seeded players in R64, shouldn't he?
  16. Hong Kong Open 2018

    I'm afraid that's what unbiased observer must conclude. If Ma Te is in his better form then he is easily one of the best 3 defenders in the world (Gionis, Filus) so somewhere 20-50 WR. This will be big challenge for ZJK and I bet against him (sorry). The only advantage is that ZJK used to...
  17. speed glue

    I have long history with Vulkan (in 90s Sriver era) and I definitely can recommend it. It used to be the most common/available speedglue in Europe (at least countries I visit) and it is widely available today here but not sure how it goes in Asia/Australia...
  18. Want to be smart about feeding my EJ

    Yes, this is one possible way;) I guess EJ virus will strike again in few months so you will see at that point... what is suggested in general is to change only one parameter at the time so e.g. change blade and keep rubbers (at least for 10-20 hours to get some feeling about what new blade does...
  19. Petr korbel fake or genuine?

    There is nothing suspicious visible on the photo, should be genuine. It doesn't make sense to fake 40$ blade (even it is Butterfly), all fakes I've seen spotted were ALC/ZLC/SZLC models in 150-300$ range and Tenergy rubbers...
