  1. Begginner rubber and should I change my blade?

    Have you discussed with your coach? If you are young, you really should move to an offensive setup as soon as possible. If you are older, you may get any classic all wood ALL+ or OFF- blade with good offensive rubbers. Mark V is okay if you still don't know how to topspin. If you can...
  2. Equipment advice for progressing junior

    Have you spoken to your coach about this? What did he/she recommend?

    We only have one full time club in Philly so if he shows up, I will know... will need a car tho.
  4. How did you decide Chinese versus Tensor rubber on FH?

    There are a few others. Thomas Keinath.
  5. New York

    Had I known, I might have snuck in given that I had today off and no events yesterday. But the Eagles actually won yesterday so I don't feel that bad.

  7. Have I gone to "advanced" to fast?

    Everything in this sport takes time. While loop vs loop play is fun, most of table tennis is really about serve, serve receive, third ball, fourth ball and fifth ball. Your focus should be on having strategies for these first five shots and making loop vs loop play a 50-50 event. If your...
  8. Have I gone to "advanced" to fast?

    If you're a kid, sure. Seriously, you are right. The real enemy is a lack of coaching. But OFF+ carbon blades are a close second. Everything else is on a case by case basis depending on how you want to play, but too many people use pro level setups or faster than pro level setups with no...

    Ross must have a mean backhand. All the pics point to this...
  10. Have I gone to "advanced" to fast?

    It depends as every player is different. I think you are fine. I will provide my logic if you are interested. For me, the blade is the first issue in deciding whether a player has gone to fast equipment too early and not the rubber, though both are important. The blade mostly controls flat...
  11. Amateur player with a crazy Backhand

    Provide the exact settings and I will join too. We may have to open a new thread for this. It is going to be epic.
  12. TT Myth Busters

    My last post felt like the consummate exit - I expect the usual GIGO response from the resident nut, but I'm pretty much done.
  13. The big EDGE TAPE thread.

    My tape is this wide, my rubber is protected as well, and I should not be hitting the ball with the edge anyways and if it is a good shot, the effect is marginal.
  14. TT Myth Busters

    Arguing with a glorified computer is a waste of time.
  15. TT Myth Busters

    It's clear to anyone reading this topic that you don't know more about this topic than I do because you lack the level of TT expertise to discuss it intelligently. You can't loop, so you can't evaluate the differences between speed glue effect rubbers and traditional rubbers. I can evaluate...
  16. How did you decide Chinese versus Tensor rubber on FH?

    You can - everyone does things a little differently and describes what they are doing differently so without video, don't let this become semantic.

  18. Butterfly Tenergy 05 or Tibhar Evolution MX-P?

    MX-P makes more sense then. MX-S would as well, but it might be lower throw than you prefer and have a little less catapult. T05 is a notch softer (closer to 45 degrees). Paul Drinkhall has good reviews of the Evolution series in the Equipment reviews section.
  19. TT Myth Busters

    But this is precisely the problem that makes Pnatchwey a bit dumber than he realizes. He is willing to say that when the topsheet is stretched, it is under tension as speedglue expands the sponge. Think of the topsheet in this case as a rubber band that is stretched and held into position by...
  20. Butterfly Tenergy 05 or Tibhar Evolution MX-P?

    Where did you hear this? That was not the impression I got since he is now with Butterfly, as well as Appolonia, who was also formerly with Tibhar.
