Mars from what I rememer has a very low throw. Would something like moon or focus 3 be better or do you think lower thow is the way to go? I too have been giving some thoughts to building someting or my 9yo and 5 yo.

That chart is enough to make even a casual/non serious table tennis player ask "what th heck is a tenergy 05" (given how ubiquitous it is)

Theoretically you can. Not only that, you can also compare sportsman from different sports to find out the real GOAT. Which incidently, happens to be cricketeer Don Bradman. For a baseball batter to be as good as Bradman, the player would need to hava a career batting average of .392. For a...

is the skyline 3-60 sponge much different than the hurricane 3-50? Is it fast and lively enough for backhand?

I looked into the jupiter 2 but ultimately decided against it because it appears to be a forehand oriented rubber. Its heavier and harder than jupiter 1, so not to sure how it would fare for backhand. Something i noticed with the big dipper is how the quickly the tackiness disapears midgame...

Is the H3-50 a "viable alternative" (for us plebs) to the rubbers used my ML and XX on their backhand? (Similar to how the commercial H3 is a "viable alternative" to the H3 provincial/national?) Or, are their backhand rubber not some variations of H3-50, rather a completely different beast? I'm...

This thought occurred to me as well. It appears to me to be a good neutral position that allows the player to get into the correct return positions thereafter for returning different kind of serves, while simultaneously staying loose/not tensed.

I think punishing him and the coach is a good call. This wasn't him throwing a paddle down, he threw it at his opponent. I would consider it assault if someone threw a paddle like that at me. A basketball coach once tought me that coaching players isn't about winning. Sports is a microcosm of...

LOL! I think the word you're looking for is “cultural appropriation” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_appropriation This is less about appropriation and more about acculturation.

As much as I hate to say it, I have to agree with you. I posted this when I was agitated and I should have taken a breather before doing so. This is not the forum for these discussions. However, while my post was not made in a clear headed state, I appreciate the clear headed responses and...

Maybe I will... You don't know my life!

Wait... Someone else besides me pulled this too?

Don't know what else I can do to express my hatred towards the attrocities being committed against the Uighur muslims and the falun gong followers in china. How the rest of the world looks away when another holocaust is taking place in front of their eyes, all because of chinese investment in...

How does one measure control when it comes to TT blades/rubbers? I understand high throw v. low throw, gears, and linear, tensor/ESN (are tensor rubbers be linear?), but what exactly is control? Does it mean the rubber is less reactive to speed and spin, allowing one to be less precise in...

When it domes the wrong way, it means the sponge has shrunk and the topsheet is no longer stretched accross. Think of the topsheet as a rubberband - a stretched rubberband is springy and a flacid one isn't. When The rubber domes "the correct way", the sponge has outgrown the topsheet, which...

Oh man, look at the reverse dome on that rubber. It is just begging to be boosted!

Seems somewhat similar to the yinhe big dipper (as far as the tack goes at least). Can you (or anyone else) draw a comparision between these two? I've heard both feel like H3 but more so for the plastic ball.

Funny, I've heard the same thing about Jun Mizutani. I wonder if its true for both, for one, or just one of those stories that spreads.

Apart from superstition, I completely agree with the idea of having a consistent set of actions to get you into the proper mindset. Personally, after having played both actual players and casual players, I can't emphasize enough how far the warm up drills (FH to FH, BH to BH loops, blocks, etc)...
