We certainly can, but I have never liked butterfly! Can't argue with their success though

I'm a musician. Great respect for Egon.

You? Legendary.

Let’s have great Japan China relations. I’ve always had nothing but great times with my Chinese/Hong Kong friends and partners.

Funny how he wins so much though eh. Lin Gaoyuan on the other hand. What a case study. I became so fascinated by his case that I did a presentation about him at university. Both he and the Chinese system sure have some issues. I’m fascinated to hear your thoughts on table tennis in China.

Sanwei blades seem to get nothing but stellar reviews and me as a 5 ply guy, I’ll say this echo is the best feeling handle and most versatile wood I’ve ever had. Better than stiga/banda etc. Incidentally, I have had at least 10 butterfly blades and hated every single one apart from the one I...

Probably people don’t realize it coz they are so Low Key. 🤪

Wow! You play TT so well for a bot 😝 What set up are you using now?

If so, probably best to ignore them. I hear that other Xen foro forum mods can’t zap them once you reply! Not sure if that’s the case here

The labelling is incredibly difficult to follow FS

Haven’t used Loki yet but interested to try. The thing that attracts me to these cheaper rubbers is there seems to be more control based rubbers. Regarding hand feel, the Sanwei blades are just sublime. I can’t see any rubbers on the modern market for a blocker/touch player who likes to chop...

What products didn’t work out? I wonder if there’s a pattern? Maybe I lucked out but I’ve had mainly good experiences in my rare forays. Current bat is so damn good I never want to pay for mainstream stuff again. I do think that’s because I need extreme control though for my blocking and...

Nice. How's the weight? I use pips on BH (LP for the past 5 years, prev. SP) but sounds good. As a youth I used to like a chinese sponge on BH for that nasty slap. So good for finishing a point.

Ahh, reading further, this blade is part of the trio series alongside the echo and parla blades. I use the echo and absolutely love it. Although I found it quite dead at the start I have learned it is quite nuanced and can be very powerful when you unleash. Sanwei have some serious tech. I'd...

Good stuff. I’m wont to look at this from a psych POV and interpret the question as a comment on noise in one’s brain during matches or the ability (or unrealistic nature) of thinking during points. Yours is probably the more direct answer though and it’s pretty helpful. Gonna keep some of...

Also props for recognising and mentioning the kinetic chain. I also studied kinesiology undergraduate. Now just pych. The chain of engaging body parts is so similar in most sports so it’s good to keep it in mind. Especially in table tennis where there can be a tendency towards arm play at...

Excellent post. This is the aim with the rock throwing too. Engage the whole body in a similar type of movement to TT. I also believe strongly in whole body exercises. Practical strength and explosivity come more with the synergistic approach I think.

Always take the stairs is a real basic but so important to remember. Boggles my mind seeing loads of able bodied people cueing up to use the escalator. It’s a chance to work your legs! I’m lucky to work in a building complex with no elevators. Often going up five flights of stairs Five times a...

Oof. I was thinking of trying the 38. Probably I’ll try Loki Rxton 3 or Artur Europe instead.

Looks beautiful. And you got it so cheap. I searched on Ali here in Japan but not available. Would try though. Right now I'm looking for 5 ply because I really value control for blocks and sweeps with the BH pips and have plenty of power on FH flat hits. I don't loop much in matches although...
