  1. For those who think pips have a ceiling

    Short pips, yes? Doesn't it behave like inverted rubber to certain extent?

  3. Using a Blade designed for table tennis - Why isn't everyone making the switch!?

    I've checked tabletennis11.com. I want to try this blade. I'm infected with EJ virus. Can't help myself. LOL.
  4. WTT Singapore Smash 2024 3/7-3/17

    Just a quick note to anyone who might think this was Ma Long's first WTT title! ML was actually the very first Men's Singles champion at the WTT Championships. It was the WTT Macao 2020, held in Macao, China from November 25th to 29th. ML dominated the finals, defeating WCQ 5-1. Sun...

    He's soft.
  6. WTT Singapore Smash 2024 3/7-3/17

    You could see in his face & body language how much he wanted the title.
  7. WTT Singapore Smash 2024 3/7-3/17

    Fan/Wang vs Ma/Lin what a crazy match! Fuh.. I was so tired just watching. LOL
  8. WTT Singapore Smash 2024 3/7-3/17

    It's heartbreaking to see Timo Boll lose 🥺
  9. The Dark Side is getting more and more tempting...

    @Gozo Aruna you glued Rozena on both sides. Spin shouldn't be the main issue IMO. The rubber is less sensitive to incoming spin. It's easy to push a short serve or attacking the long one with this rubber. Why would you consider the anti-spin? 🤣
  10. WTT Singapore Smash 2024 3/7-3/17

    Several questionable serves were visible from the television replay, yet the umpires seemed hesitant to make calls. With their position at the table, it's difficult to believe these serves went unnoticed. While an occasional missed call is understandable, consistent oversights become concerning.
  11. Why is Roger Federer so good at receiving serve!?

    He might be using less spin-sensitive rubber. IDK
  12. Which Butterfly Blade for Offensive Play with Rozena

    I'm disturbed (I'm using Rozena) 🤣
  13. What is a compact stroke?

    If I understand you correctly, when I'm hitting the ball from my side, it travels parallel along the table instead of crossing over. I prefer to hit the ball in front to my body. However, this might be causing me to hit the ball too early. That's why I've moved half a foot back to give myself...
  14. What is a compact stroke?

    Yesterday, I tried playing about half a foot further back than usual giving myself more time before hitting the ball. It worked like a charm! The extra milliseconds forced me to delay my shot slightly, and this has improved my game. My drives and topspins landed on the other side of the table...
  15. What is a compact stroke?

    This might work. Normally, I'm able to topspin (both topspin and backspin) if I let the ball drop slightly first instead of hitting it earlier. Unfortunately, my muscles don't seem to reflect this knowledge against stronger players, as there's a strong tendency in my brain to hit the ball as...
  16. What is a compact stroke?

    It happens when I play against someone better than me at the club but not when I play against the kids who train there and those of similar level. My goal is to stay relaxed and avoid rushing even when playing against stronger opponents, even if I lose.
  17. What is a compact stroke?

    You're right. This happens to me all the time! I can topspins with great quality when I'm relaxed during practice. But in a match, my body tenses up and I forget everything! I focus too much on hitting the ball hard, and the worst part is my reflexes get ahead of me then I hit the ball too early...
  18. What is a compact stroke?

    I completely agree with this. However, over time, even trained table tennis players without an athletic background can develop the skill. IMO
