  1. Good Morning Britain making fun of little TT girl and calling TT "boring" sport

    the headline was indeed just provocative joke, they pay certain respect to the girl (and she is amazing!). Although I'm not a fan of parents who drill their kids in any activity since age of 2 or 3...
  2. Good Morning Britain making fun of little TT girl and calling TT "boring" sport

    Good Morning Britain making fun of little TT girl and calling TT "boring" sport Piers Morgan trying to be funny and partially he does the job. However these 2 minutes capture so many stereotypes about TT that I wanted to share it here: - TT is done seriously just in China - you need to start...
  3. Ma Long's first match since his injury - 2018

    Even if I thought the same I would never say such prophecy loud on this forum, not two weeks before the event. You are risking being kicked by TT God of Unpredictable Results who makes LJK one day the best player in the world (beating several players from WR top 10 including #1 FZD) and next...
  4. Xu Xin's Equipment

    Like gluing rubber on God's handwritten signature???? :)
  5. Amazed by the low weight of the Palio AK74 rubbers... wow.

    I'm afraid I've tried different loops, slow brushing as well as fast swings with major hit to the ball, still not the level what you get from other rubbers which cost double and more. Similar for serve, I've tried full range of side and back spin and I'm afraid this aspect of the game will...
  6. Amazed by the low weight of the Palio AK74 rubbers... wow.

    I used AK47 blue and yellow on pretty fast ALC blade (Yinhe V-14 which is basically Bfly TB ALC/Viscaria clone) and it was just bouncy and fast, not much spin (I struggled with both serve as well as attacking loops). Maybe it's my technique but I have much better spinning game when using other...
  7. FS: Various Items - Blades and Rubbers

    Hi Andy, one questions: are both Primorac and PG7 sitting in your drawer since mid of 2017? What is condition of rubbers today?
  8. Ma Long's first match since his injury - 2018

    It's very likely that he is now concentrating on two last big events of his career: WM2019 in Hungary and Olympics 2020 in Tokyo. And because internal Chinese qualification is independent on World Ranking (top 12 players) then he doesn't need to give a s**t if he is #1, #2 or #20. Yes, for...
  9. Looking for new Blade Beginner/Developing Player

    Well that's the point on EJ virus: one day you swear on your new equipment claiming that this is finally "the one and the last", magic whatever. You write stellar reviews on TTD and revspin, change your equipment in your profile on all TT forums, recommending to every mate in the club, playing...
  10. Looking for new Blade Beginner/Developing Player

    I'm with Der on this, your blade set-up sounds reasonable (especially when taking into account your level indicated by TTR ranking). This is about the time. You can substitute multiball by robot, absence of coach is bigger problem but if you take care about the basics like footwork and technique...
  11. Prott Hurricane 3 Blue Sponge National

    well OP asks about prott.vip and if you go there basically all "PRO" DHS rubbers have following notice in the description: This rubber with no package, no digital words and numbers printed on the sponge is specific version which is only used in training for player training. Warm notice...
  12. Prott Hurricane 3 Blue Sponge National

    Question: why his DHS "National" rubber versions don't have any laser print while other sites do? Are one or another fake? Or are there two sources (one before printing and one after)? It's confusing at least and to be honest rather suspicious...
  13. Mixed Singles?

    First of all this topic is coming back again and again, I'm not sure it's worth opening new thread every time. See here: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?19179-Top-Women-vs-Top-Men Secondly I'm wondering where people get any evidence for this claim "Table tennis is much...
  14. What’s the composition of these blades? (See pictures)

    Hi, I've been playing with Yasaka Sweden Extra and according to my sources it's: Anigre-Limba-Ayous-Limba-Anigre
  15. What Equipment Should I Get As A Beginner?

    Could anyone make this available outside that FB sh*t? Just for few of us who opted out from that crap... thanks!
  16. Project at school -- China

    That's true but pretty much impossible to "guess" the number, level (do you count everyone who ever touch the TT bat? Or just these who do it at least once a year? Or only those who have decent level? And what is that level?) So the only thing you can somehow "count" with certain precision will...
  17. Why are there a lot of "low-ranked" chinese players in ittf?

    Probably not. There are definitely players in China who would be 100-300 easily but still that isn't enough to beat top 16 national teams... it's also about experience. They don't meet Europeans in matches, they don't train against different styles like CNT1 and 2 do. Too many factors and too...
  18. Project at school -- China

    There are some interesting numbers claimed in this video: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?19294-Why-China-s-Dominance-Is-Unmatched 300m people playing WW (this is popular claim by ITTF and CTTA but I'm afraid they include all hobby players who just have the table in the...
  19. Butterfly Tenergy 05 Very Hard

    (is it April 1st already?)
  20. Timo twiddles for smashing.. why?

    True, 14th point in game 3 (1:1, 5:8, 6min 12sec into the video). Although the ball doesn't go down so he doesn't hit with the red side;) Yes, 6min 27sec into the video, thx. So the theory is that Timo has hair softer rubber on BH and it is still worth it to twiddle (typically once per match...
