I don’t really want to give this anymore airtime than it needs - It’s impossible to interpret tone in a text message, so I (and everyone else) have no idea if you are being serious, or joking. However, the concept of “freedom of speech” on internet forums and other online platform with rules...

I thought this was one of the best videos in a long time - And we've had some good ones recently! It was great to see "normal" players, even if 99% of them were still very "top end" for most people. I also thought @Dan looked fantastic (ability wise) - You don't get to see it so much when...

I spoke to @Dan recently regarding the TTD meet up, and probably didn’t quite understand just how busy the TTD stuff is at the moment (so give him a moment to catch up on everything). I 100% agree with @UpSideDownCarl re moderation - A forum of this size and “importance” needs a “team” of...

Relatively open question, so it's hard to answer. It's a little frustrating when people start talking about what the "Pros" think..... None of us are pros.... None of us will ever be pros..... So just because a certain pro would find the blade more important (or whatever), it really doesn't...

You should come to a UK local league match..... Where you'll find 2 "pushers" (not sure I can call them "choppers") battling away, playing 10-20 minute sets until the early hours of the morning on a wet, cold Friday night. Only then will you appreciate the expedite rule 😅

This is a very unique request.... But I like it! In the UK, most clubs won't have surplus shirts - They'll be made to order. Would be interested to see what shirts you manage to get though!

Sorry to get serious for a second..... (boo). But please do DM me directly if you are interested in coming (no commitments at this stage as we obviously don't have the dates etc sorted). It's just so I can keep a track, without taking a random comment as intention to come :) Current List...

"I have such an advantage on every service.... I don't know which one to do" 😂 That is brutal! 😂 Has anyone checked on @Dan since then...... (I feel the inside out forehand made up for everything!)

We'll have an entire hour to see just how many people can teach you a forehand topspin ;) Would be great to see you!

Hey TTD - Just keeping this thread in people's minds. I'll be working with @backspacer to see what options we have for a German meet up next year. Likely August, but both date, time and location are still TBC. If you'd be interested, please DM me and I can add you to the list. The total...

Apologies, I don’t know your level so I’m not sure of the context here. I’ve been quite open about my level, and it’s there for all to see (the good thing with the UK is that the local league results are recorded very well!) I would comment that YES, a lot will be marketing hype and conscious...

Missed this, apologies. I think you can create a ton of spin with Zyre03. Just as much as D05 and D09c. It is, without question, a very spinny rubber. But, and this is the key thing for “real world” play…. I think the extra speed/appearance of less dwell time would contribute towards the...

I think lower level players generally have less ability to be able to interpret just what they are getting out of the equipment and evaluate it. Likewise, unlikely to be playing consistently good quality shot to be able to compare. Yes, 99.9 might be an exaggeration, and a more accurate...

I can’t believe I’m going to disagree with our lord and saviour…. Butterfly….. but…. IF (and that’s a big IF), Butterfly did indeed test this in scientific like conditions and proved it was their spinniest rubber, it would have been done so in such a way that is incredibly unrealistic for 99.9%...

I close my eyes and hope for the best! Let's not derail the thread too much..... But it's very hard to gauge table tennis technique from words - It would be great if you could do a video demonstrating how you personally do it (there's a "video safe" thread if you didn't want others to comment...

Just to add some context to all of this Z03 discussion….. Because I really do believe that “ability” is massively overlooked when discussing equipment. For clarity, me (far side, large human), is playing with an inner carbon ALC blade and D09c on both sides. Near side has a ZJSALC (yes...

OK, take this with all of the pinches of salt in the world…. I tried Z03 tonight on a Jike Super ZLC blade. The Z03 was boosted….. although I don’t know how/what etc. Initial impressions - Extremely underwhelming with this set up. It’s just too fast to get any real spin - The ball comes...

I have a few mins before I get to play with it, so thought I’d reply to this…. I think your comment is unfair In this instance. There are certainly “reviews” that are sales pitches, but this review had direct comparisons to D05 and D09C (in terms of commenting on how it’s different). To me...

I’ll be having a knock with it tonight. Although…. It’ll be on a Jike SLZC blade…. So I’m expecting it to be fast!

Amazing - Great review as always. I could listen to Dima talk TT all day long.....
