Ah, a topic close to my heart…. “Overpriced” clearly means different things to different people. You can’t be “overpriced” if your performance makes it worthwhile (as some have suggested). I actually think Butterfly is significantly LESS overpriced these days, than they used to be, because...

Pips are the best! Good pips players (and even bad ones) do really well at the amateur level because their opponents often don't know how to deal with it. BUT...... As soon as you can play comfortably against pips (especially long pips), there is just nothing they can do..... Welcome to the...

This is possibly the best (if not *the* best), reply I've ever seen on this forum. Absolutely fantastic - Great to see you posting, Heming!

You can, and I'd argue the same would be true to an extent. I'm not entirely sure of the intent of this thread, but it seems to take the stance that "ej'ing isn't that bad... look at this". Someone ej'ing between attacking MAX reverse rubbers, and then switching to long pips, and then to...

I think it's half way between this, and the "completely different sport" opinion. Can't argue with what you've said - Rules, table, balls etc are all the same. BUT.... The technique required, the equipment and general tactics are wildly different from Table Tennis, which might as well make it...

2000 French rating or the equivalent of 2000 US? Because 2000 US, whilst solid.... Is a LONG way away from national leagues (assuming national means very, very, very good).

I do like this question (one I've asked before), and there really is no good answer. What I will say is that looking at the 1% at the top end of the scale (Pitchford, Beast, Prem British League etc), does not give a good indication to the other 99% of players who will never reach that level...

What timeframe are you basing this on out of interest? I switch my D09C and D05 every 6 months (playing on average twice per week). I reckon I could get another 4-6 months if I was being realistic, with just a very small drop off in rubber performance. Whilst the D09C loses 80% of the...

Is that you..... NDH? This is the most out of body experience I've ever had. Same blade, same rubbers, same issues.... I've been where you are, and continue to be in the same position. I'm currently trialing my new blade from SDC which is an Ovtcharov clone (a little slower). I'm telling...

Haven't been playing well..... It's just the editing! 😂

Yeah, but Kreanga doesn't need to edit videos to make him look good! 😂

We clearly have very different experiences! Yeah, you’ll always get the generational argument (Borg, Ashe, Mac etc). No one can dispute the stats, and no one tries. Based on cold hard stats, no one argues it’s Djokovic. But “greatest” in my experience from speaking to people, is much more...

So, for people “in the know” on tennis, I reckon you’d hear…. “Statistically, it’s Djokovic, but for me, it’s XXX” And this is why the GOAT sort of question always comes down to more than statistics. Federer will be my GOAT forever. What he made me feel watching tennis is unmatched. I also...

This thread seems to ask one thing, but the assumption has been taken a different way. If you are talking "statistics", then these are cold hard facts which you can't deny. Simply compare statistics with Ma Long and you'll see what needs to be done. But if you are talking about people's...

Hey TTD! Rather than start a new thread about the blade, I'll keep it here. I've done a couple of videos on the new blade from @hipnotic First time using it last night (I didn't play that well.... But that's me, not the blade 😅) Check out the videos below!

Hey everyone! I’ll likely post the quick and easy clips on IG rather than YT. I’ve got the first one of the Badger Blade up! I’m currently playing a summer league match, so will post snippets as I go!

Travel time would be the issue here I think. We'd probably want 10 days to 2 weeks if we did that. However, we are talking about an Asian tour providing the Euro tour goes well!

I use Butterfly edge tape and it leaves behind a slight residue (I change it every 6 months). I've never managed to remove it completely, but rubbing your thumb/finger over it gets the vast majority off. I then just stick new tape over it anyway!

I'm not sure that would be much of an incentive to Pongfinity..... But it would be amazing!

Hey Latej, Thank you! I'll definitely short list the CR - It's a country I've always wanted to travel to, but haven't been as of yet! We are looking to travel across whatever country we go to, so we could very easily have a couple of nights in Morava and then travel to different parts for...
