If you just want to play recreationally, then outdoor. If you are serious about playing in tournaments, then indoor. Just be prepare to buy a cheap indoor table tennis table and replace it regularly since Atlanta can be humid. Growing up, my chinese coach's club had 6 indoor table and 1 outdoor...

Ok, I don't want to get drawn into the debate. But I shall give a couple more cents. 1) Do I like Adam as a person? Did not know him that well. He seemed nice enough in the ping pong club. 2) I do know a couple people who went to USC with him and he was somewhat weird. But that is not...

Paddle Palace in the US carries Juic 999 Elite. TT11 carries other Juic rubber but not 999. So it is still being made.

If you have tried Hybrid (the only hybrid I have tried is Tibhar K1 and K2; TT11 still carries K1 but no longer carrying K2), you should be able to adapt H3 neo pretty easily. I have liked K1 and K2, and I have gone back and forth between H3 neo and K1 recently (both assembled on the same blade...

I don't think there is an ideal throw angle. It depends on your style. I have used H3 Neo for many years. I like to serve short, very spinny backspin serve. Once the ball comes back to my side of the table with a push, I loop and start my third ball attack. The throw angle tends to be very low...

I would suggest you try H3 neo. It is not that expensive. I agree with other people. Chinese rubber just feels very different than Euro/Jap tensor rubber. It is hard to describe. you have to try it to see if you love it or hate it. As for ESN rubber, as some people pointed out, they are...

I used to use Juic 999 series. I liked it. I grew up playing Friendship 729. The tackiness was similar to 729. I have not used Juic rubbers for years though. I now use H3 neo on my forehand side. I highly doubt Juic has tensor or hybrid rubber out. Yes, for the money, I would spend it on H3 neo...

Ok, I just finished reading the whole thread. Here are a few thoughts: 1) Adam has always played like that. He is a lobber. He is not doing that for (pure) entertainment purpose. He has always played like that. Just like some people are chop defenders. Some players are close to the table...

I have used H3 Neo on my forehand and G-1 on my backhand for 5 years. I love H3 Neo because it is very easy to do slow, high arcing spinning loop or fast, low arcing fast loop drive, especially close to the table. But if you want to stay with an ESN rubber, I am not sure what to suggest. Maybe...

My Chinese coach told me, growing up, playing with Friendship 729, just use a sponge and water to clean it every time. Once in a while use a little bit of soap but don't over do it. After 30 years, I am still following his advice. My argument is, if the top sheet is really changing after you...

Ok, I have K2 and K1 European version. I have not coughed up the money to buy K3. I got the K2 from tt11 before they are no longer carrying it. I read the reviews on K2 and K1 European version on tt11 as well. Let us get something straight here. Both K2 and K1 European version are sticky. I...

That just shows that Sweden is far ahead of the UK in terms of table tennis prowness and the US is still behind the UK in that department. So let us not even get into how Tom the Frog will be ranked in China.... :) :)

Yes I remember random stuff I have researched here and there on the internet but I don't remember the details. After all, if you are good, you are good! I am glad somebody is able to pull that up and clarify that he is indeed top 20.

Matilda does have an USATT rating and it is around 2500ish based on one match, one tournament. Looking at her playing, she is about 2300-2400 right now. However, if you look at Tom (the Frog) being top 20 in England/UK and the Beast (supposedly the best male junior player from Netherland)...

Table tennis level in England is still higher than in the US (although Matilda is from Sweden). I think Beast took it easy and lost it on purpose :) :)
