  1. Post your latest EJ purchase

    All the blades are new blades I have not tried before. I have liked all three so far. All the rubbers are reboosted and when I said, they are beaten up, they are really beaten up. But they all play great. I have been testing out these blades for the past week. No complaint whatsoever. Blades...
  2. Bounce with the Ball / Split-Step

    Ok, I decided to get up my lazy rear end and set up my PowerPong robot (it was in storage for 2 years) and filmed a video. Please see below: It is a new racket I just assembled recently. So initially I like to just hit/block the ball lightly ON the table to get use to the paddle, the sponge...
  3. EmRatThich says learn w/Max thickness, fast rubber?

    I would love to go around and buy used, just-cut Dignics 09c for half price. Sign me up! Ok, I will go back to STN and H3 neo with G-1 on the backhand....
  4. EmRatThich says learn w/Max thickness, fast rubber?

    Right. Well, I happen to comment about that on Dan's forum! Good job Dan for giving us invaluable info.
  5. EmRatThich says learn w/Max thickness, fast rubber?

    I agree that many adults are set up with too fast of a blade and a pair of rubber. Even kids too. I am a big proponent of a 5-ply wood blade at the OFF - speed. You just pair it with the right rubber along the way and that blade should last the kid or the adult 2-3 years minimum. After that, if...
  6. Suggestion needed for Jr player

    Nooooo, I thought you would start him with Timo boll jr with Rozena on both sides. Don't tell me you joined the dark side of Nittaku. :) :) On a more serious note, I love G-1. I think you should start your kid on C-1 and then upgrade to G-1 later. They are very similar rubbers and they are the...
  7. Bounce with the Ball / Split-Step

    I am just browsing through the thread. I watched the video from April. A few comments: 1) Very good progress from the previous video! Awesome! 2) I like you backhand very much. Good wrist movement. Compact but yet has a short sweet follow-through. No wasted energy or effort on your backhand...
  8. EmRatThich says learn w/Max thickness, fast rubber?

    I second that I follow Ti Long and pechpong as well. They are much more helpful than ERT. However, once you understand table tennis and once you learn the basic strokes, everything else is a variation of these basic strokes. Once you watch a couple video's, you should be able to extrapolate...

  10. USATT rating after a long break?

    When will you move back to the US permanently? Don't worry. If you are good, you are good. Wait for a few extras will be fine :) :)
  11. Spinfire short pips – @WRM-TV

    Someone at the club has been using it exclusively but in different colors! From the demonstration on WRM-TV's youtube channel, I come away with the same impression that it is more similar to inverted rubber than traditional short pips that give out a lot of flat or backspin when blocking...
  12. Who's your favorite tt retailer?

    So I have been long time user of TT11. Recently checked out tt-japan.net and Dandoy. Obviously with my VPN, they can tell that I am from North America. None of these websites offered me Butterfly product and we all know why. But nishohi.com did offer me Butterfly products, just not the full...
  13. Suggestion needed for Jr player

    Which of the three carbon fibers (T5000, ALC and ZLC), do you like the most?
  14. USATT rating after a long break?

    Yes the playing level in Vietnam is most likely much higher than in the US!
  15. USATT rating after a long break?

    Yes they start you on your old rating. However if you play really poorly or if you play really well, they will adjust your rating so other players do not gain or do not lose too many rating points. That is done after the tournament where they enter all the data. I last played in tournament back...
  16. Suggestion needed for Jr player

    Ok got it. is T5000 in between ALC and ZLC or is it faster than both?
  17. Suggestion needed for Jr player

    Isn't T5000 Butterfly's fastest carbon? I think they put it in Primorac carbon too. Or does it not matter, T5000 v.s. ALC v.s. ZLC? It just matters if they put the carbon on the outside or more inside toward the core?
  18. Longevity of Hybrid rubbers

    Maybe I just gradually get used to the performance little by little over the course of 6 months so I have not noticed. However, now I have ripped those rubbers off 6-12 months later after the initial boost, I am boosting those rubbers for the second time and they are playing better! It is...
  19. Who's your favorite tt retailer?

    This is like the best thread on this forum for a while! It is opening my mind to some interesting stores. Ok a few things to contribute. 1) Thank you for bringing up tt-japan.net. I should look into it. 2) France's feedback about lack of VAT on Dandoy. That is like 9% discount right off the...
  20. Who's your favorite tt retailer?

    Got it! Without VAT, makes perfect sense. I lived in England for a year before. VAT is no joke! If without VAT, I get like additional 9% discount, then Dandoy might be something to seriously consider over TT11. Oh well, so many choices but that's because I buy in bulk each time. I don't leave...
