  1. Boosting my H3Neo with baby oil and noticed this

    I'm not sure I understand? This is a brand new h3n that I haven't glued on to a bat yet. (I used a pen to trace the outline of the bat on the sponge , cut it, and applied two layers of baby oil.)
  2. Boosting my H3Neo with baby oil and noticed this

    Yeah I'm on my phone and ran into bad internet connection. I'm trying to get it on here.
  3. Boosting my H3Neo with baby oil and noticed this

    I noticed diagonal ridges on the sponge of my brand new H3Neo after a layer of baby oil. The ridges are not exactly vertical, rather slanted slightly. Can anyone help me identify what these are?
  4. Mizutani in the Russian League - Strange performance

    Can we have JM star in a herpes medication commercial promoting some obscure medication with overwhelming side effects? "Hello, I'm table tennis pro and olympic star Jun Mizutani here to tell you, I have herpes..."

    That is very interesting. My coach asked me if I knew who Pau Gasol was since he didn't. When his coming to play for the Dallas Mavericks was in the works, he tried hard to get my coach to get him TT lessons. I wish that came to fruition, because that could have helped make TT a big deal in...
  6. All about dwell time, maybe, but only if there are enough people interested.

    Break it down. Acceleration and velocity can be treated differently. Velocity is deflected using the conservation of momentum and acceleration is neutralized (equal and opposite reaction). A ball resting on the paddle is exerting an acceleration due to the force of gravity, which is...
  7. All about dwell time, maybe, but only if there are enough people interested.

    hey Pnach, I have to ask are you an atheist, or is there a faith you ascribe to?
  8. How old are you?

    You mean kind of like this, but for dudes?http://www.geekinheels.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/average_asian_woman_aging.jpg
  9. Celebrities playing Table Tennis!

    Yeah Beiber going at it, neither good nor bad, I get it...but are you telling me zoolander isn't promoting/establishing the stereotype of table tennis not a sport, just a mindless activity for mindless people? The commercial is making fun of ping pong!
  10. How old are you?

    34? I forget my age quite often (born may 1989, so that's, 1,2,3,4... ah forget it lets go with 35).
  11. Celebrities playing Table Tennis!

    More bad than good really. All this does is further promote this prevalent notion of how ping pong isn't a real sport. Everyone knows about ping pong already, but no one that I have known has seen it played at a superhuman level competitive sport (short of me showing them vids).
  12. Neo Hurricane 2 , 3 or 8 on a Stiga Clipper Blade ?

    Can you slap your existing H2N on the clipper to gage the differences between the two blades given the same rubber, and share?
  13. your last sin

    Bought me a yinhe v15 (shakehand flared) (it arrived yesterday.) an H3 Neo, TG3 neo, and 2 Yinhe Jupiter (yet to arrive). The black H3N will go on the forehand of the yinhe v15 and the red jupiter will go on the back. The TG3N will go on the the E3VB (cpen) forehand and the other red jupiter on...
  14. What's a good beginner set up?

    I don't think you can play with Chinese rubbers without boosting, otherwise everything about the rubber feels dead. If you do decide to boost/glue, then be prepared for a lot of grunt work, spending extra time and effort just to play. Edit: I should add that boosting not for the purpose of...
  15. What's a good beginner set up?

    I helped my coworker build her paddle. She went with the nittaku tenaly carbon, tenergy 64 backhand and tenergy 64fx forehand. She has her fundamentals down as far as stroke mechanics, but never running multiball with her, so her stroke selection was always off and her footwork I couldn't...
  16. If i used booster or oil, would this work?

    If you use baby oil (one or two layers max) the rubber will never un-curl again. A small layer (enough to add a mild dome back to the rubber) should also stretch the top sheet for an enhanced tensor like effect. Too much dome and it won't stick to the paddle.
  17. If i used booster or oil, would this work?

    What rubber are you playing with?
  18. What's a good beginner set up?

    I forgot about the KTL rubbers. Thank you for reminding me.
  19. What's a good beginner set up?

    I built a coworker a a paddle he hasn't had the chance to collect (he has been out of town) - Yinhe E3 VB with DHS TG3 neo forehand (40 degrees 2 thin layers of baby oil) and Yinhe Mercury 2 (33 degrees, one layer of baby oil). The baby oil treatment is not really to supercharge the rubbers...
