I can't say specifically, but we are working on it being in Germany. Once I've got the date sorted, I'll be able to confidently let everyone know the venue. If these talks fall through, then we'll have to reassess.

That we a quick update..... Provisional dates unlikely to happen. But it'll be a weekend towards the end of August or early/mid September hopefully.

Little update....... I had a fantastic call with Dan and a couple of unnamed partners..... The provisional dates we have are Friday 4th September through to Sunday 6th September. Note - Nothing has been confirmed, but these are the dates we are hoping to work towards. I'm aiming to get the...

We are talking about mid level amateur table tennis aren't we? 😅 Most places are lucky to have 1 physical coach in a drive-able distance - Let alone 5 all offering different services! 😂

How different are we talking here? And what's confusing about it? Ideally, you want to be consistent in your coaching, so you can continuously improve in the same way. Get coaching, practice what you've learnt, get coaching, practice what you've learnt and so on. If you are practicing 1...

An excellent question! I'm spamming @Dan with messages like a spurned lover.... I think he's away at the moment, but I'm hopefully going to have a venue, format and date by the end of the month! Watch this space!

I think if you can adapt your playing style to suit the rubber, you are good enough to use any rubber - Same applies for everyone. The "bar" to using "high end" rubbers isn't really that high - It's a long way away from the Pro level. A good amateur can do just fine with anything. Agree with...

Are they saying this? Perhaps the people who just follow the "newer is better/more advanced" train of thought - But I don't see people who actually know about rubbers etc, saying this. Dignics has such a wide range of levels it caters for. 09C would be fine for an up and coming intermediate...

The thread mentions beginners and intermediate players, but your potential ranking would put you in the more advanced class…. So I’m not sure if you are asking for yourself, or for actual beginners? For you, absolutely try it. If you can actually loop, and have semi OK movement, you’ll be fine...

TBC - Hopefully all will be revealed in early Jan!

I would say it’s 95% going to be in Germany.

Hey guys! Quick update as a few of you have asked. We are working on something super exciting, and if it all plans out, will be an awesome event! I can’t share anything just yet, but it looks like it could be a Sunday in June 2026. I have a video call with all involved in early January...

Dignics 05! You can't - Embrace the drop off! 😂

I said that when I took on the role of "mod", it wouldn't change what/how I post (not that I post a huge amount anyway!) The reality is, it's difficult for people to know if you are posting as a "mod" or your own opinion. This is *my* opinion. @pingpongpaddy considering you were a mod how...

Oh, it would be great if no moderation was ever needed because everyone could communicate effectively and get on. But mods are primarily here to ensure the best experience for everyone who uses the forum. Onwards and upwards! 😊

My condolences! ;) I would argue that this is the *third* thread around such things in less than 24 hours - Does that count as repetition? I fundamentally disagree with this - Not that free speech is important (it very much is), but that every forum is adopting such an approach. You can't...

Hey all, I’m closing this thread, but given the context and sensitivity, wanted to explain a little as to why I’m doing so. 1. It’s the weekend…. It’s a little easier for things to get out of hand! 😂 2. There is already another thread about this to some extent, and that may answer a lot of...

Oh boy - What a Friday night read that was. I'll try and be brief, because like many of you.... My time is disappearing rapidly these days! Hey, I'm NDH and I agreed to help Dan with a bit of moderation on the forum when I have time. I think it's important to remember that the forum has been...

I don't think it's a ridiculous take - If a film/TV Show becomes popular and showcases a niche sport/activity/hobby, there is usually a decent uptake in whatever it is. Look at the Queens Gambit - Imagine telling people a Netflix show about Chess is going to cause.... The Queen's Gambit caused...

Must be a language barrier…. You are confusing “Absolutely 100% always” with…. “Sometimes”. Let’s not forget the beers in between sets as well! 😂
