Until then, feel free to head over to ITTF.com for all previous content.' Okay, better later then never...
  2. Tibhar Evolution EL-S and FX-S

    I worry about the power of EL-S and nobody uses Evolution in my neighbourhood (everyone is whether Tenergy-guy or use sthing much slower). Unfortunately my next mandatory rubber change will be at winter or at late autumn, so I won't be able to test it, unless you can convince me. Someone could...
  3. How does your mental attitude influence your game?

    I would recommend The Book of the Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi over these pieces. Short, simple and inspiring.
  4. Tibhar Evolution EL-S and FX-S

    FX-S harder than FX-P. Here you will find every information: http://www.tt-spin.de/tibhar-evolution-belagtest/ Google translate enough to understand and images and charts help a lot. For advice you should describe your style, level and rubbers you have used. But for a really helpful advice you...
  5. Tibhar Evolution EL-S and FX-S

    So, it's don't have a springy catapult effect, but it's topspeed is equal or nearly equal to T05 (shot with big stroke)?
  6. Tibhar Evolution EL-S and FX-S

    I just speculated how it would play with a SpringSponge like effect. But I'm sure that it's fast enough.
  7. I don't know what is more pitiful...

    Chen Bo Wen scored 4 points in the whole 3 set game.
  8. Tibhar Evolution EL-S and FX-S

    EL-S with booster will be similar to T05 maybe?
  9. Why do some rubbers lose grip with a bit of moisture?

    That's why I changed to MX-P on my BH. I've used Omega IV Asia, but moisture made it terrible. At the beginning of the session it played like a dream, then it lost it's grip. sad, because I liked that rubber. Tenergy and the Evolution sorozat still very good even in moisture. EDIT: Oops, sorozat...
  10. europe sucks

    I feel myself lucky, we have only 2 weeks off.
  11. At what cost ?

    Interesting...in table tennis the gap between chinese and others is big but not that big. They have ML XX FZD FB ZJK, but the others are beatable by top non chinese players (and ZJK). Boll said that he would never practice that much and he is (was) comparable to the Big4 (or nowadays Big5, FB...
  12. New 2016: Zhang Jike - Rio Olympic Training!

    I think LGL care about him a lot. They might had/have some problems, but he is LGL's own tt child. And LGL wants the best to him. At 3:02 the problem was that ZJ's first backhand was a punchblock without much topspin (the second also was more like a powerdrive than loop), so it isn't the most...
  13. Wong Chun Ting's Equipment

    Probably he will go to H3. Currently he is practise with CNT.
  14. Less known great youtubers

    Some youtuber, whose channel worth to watch. If you know others, share them there! Rossi Carbon: matches with different angle, mostly from Australia Opens. Great stuff. TTNetworkUSA: Westchester Monthly Open's final and sometimes semifinals. High quality, exciting matches. Alex Lomaev: the...
  15. China Warm Up Matches for Rio Olympics 2016

    I think Xu Xin uses much more sidespin, that's why his FH looks more powerful. Fang Bo tries to be closer to table, you're right, but not because the less power, just personal preference/coach order. It's my opinion, less power is yours, that's it.
  16. China Warm Up Matches for Rio Olympics 2016

    Fang Bo's forehand and footwork is just as good as Xu Xin's, but XX a little bit better player and so he can use it properly in most cases. Fang Bo don't have that consistency. Against some players he can't use his power and footwork effectively, but that isn't footwork/power, it's overall...
  17. Top-end rubbers characteristics

    Hi guys, I want to create a chart with the newly released and older Tenergy rivals. Include: spin - speed - catapult/bounciness - throw angle/generated arc - topsheet hardness - sponge hardness - tackiness Rating will be ranged between 1 and 5 with the usage of +,- and the whole thing will be...
  18. Ask ITTF President Thomas Weikert a question on the TTD podcast!

    It's my fad, but they plan to change the camera angle of the streaming? Lots of people, both players and people who have seen competitive table tennis only by accident said me that the current angle is ...bad, and other angles where they could see the speed and arc of the ball is much more...
