Tony, my question is: where is the money coming from? I understand that there are more events but that also mean more prize money. However the way these events are marketed and the lack of ticket sales, concern me. Where is the money coming from to pay the players?

I like my Stuor blades. They are nicely built and priced competitively. I get mine from Aliexpress. I have been disappointed by a couple Yinhe blades I got so no more Yinhe blades for me.

It is not overpriced. The market sets the price.

Ah got it. Thanks! I will just wait. Yes, the deals right now do not seem to be terribly interesting.

Ok, so Aliexpress is running "choice day" that expires on October 7, 2024 at 11:59pm. I don't see any particularly good deal on there. Anyone noticed anything good? What is the difference between choice day v.s. single day sales on Aliexpress?

I love Donic Acuda S2 on my backhand. I sold a used set-up to a clubmate that has STN on the forehand and Donic Acuda S2 pink on the backhand. So I just ordered, from TT11, Donic Acuda S2 pink and purple. I will install them at some point in the future!

Yes you mean Aliexpress choice day is here and it expires 11:59pm on Oct 7th? I would also start STN without boosting. It plays fine. When you are used to it, you can boost it maybe a month down the road and see how you like it? I used to boost STN. Just the recent batch I made a decision not...

I guess the other thread on STN triggered this thread. On a side note, table tennis is such a niche sport, there is not much in it, for everyone. So if there was corruption, how much money was involved? I mean, ITTF would not even sue him in a court due to lack of finances. Let us be honest...

I concur. The quality control is good enough for STN blue sponge. As an aside, one time I bought a sheet of Sanwei Target provincial version blue sponge (not to make things more confusing for everyone) for $15 a sheet and the top sheet fell off from the sponge after I just glued the brand new...

I am not sure. Aliexpress and Sanwei are just a mess in terms of the packaging. I would just look at the price. If the price is around $18-$20 then it is probably the blue sponge. If the price is around $10 and change it is probably the orange sponge. I have received a couple STN blue sponge...

Lol :) I put Rxton 9 back on my shopping cart so I can tell you later. You are not the only person. I think @TensorBackhand also hates STN. On the other hand, @Zwill also likes STN as much as H3 blue sponge on the other thread. That's why I don't really read into other people's impression...

Lol :) I agree. Maybe I should take Rxton 9 off my shopping cart on Aliexpress :) I tried one sheet of H3 neo National blue sponge 39 degree. I was not that impressed. Not worth the extra price at this point of my training. Provincial blue sponge is good enough. It is still priced quite...

I have always said that Sanwei Target National blue sponge is the closest thing to H3 neo blue sponge provincial that I have tried. STN blue sponge seems to be slightly tackier than H3 neo BS provincial. However each batch can be different. STN blue sponge from Aliexpress plays eerily similar...

Ok I literally read the whole thread from the beginning to the end. And I have decided to keep my H3 neo blue sponge provincial after reading all that... lol :) A few comments: 1) I don't know why. But the H3 blue sponge top sheets are just tackier than orange sponge top sheets. It does not...

I have stopped using Rev No 3 glue because I agree it is inconsistent. Some blades that are laquered, it does not matter how many layers of Rev No 3 glue I apply, the rubber just does not stick! I only use Butterfly Free Chack Pro II now. It is thick and dries really fast. I always apply two...

Start off with trying to have a resting position with the weight on your toes (so heel off from the ground). Then say you want to go right, you push off with your left leg and jump or hop. If you want to go to the left, then you push off with your right leg and jump or hop. Then do a drill...

I would get it signed by him and then mount it :)

Ok I am confused by this thread by now. Not knowing how the OP plays, in general, when I played Jpen, I tended to position myself close to the table because, well, I could only block on my backhand side. My forehand loop was positioned to start a rally with slow spinny loop. After that, I would...

TT11 now carries DONIC Anders Lind Hexa Carbon. I am sure each blade you get is still different. I am sure this blade is simply a modified version of Donic Original True Carbon but now you can get his signature blade now :) I have a blade that I like so even though l love Anders Lind's style, I...

If you have kept it in a dark, cool area (not exposed to direct sunlight or leave it in your car during the summer when it is super hot), the booster should still be fine.
