I’ve said many times….. But Butterfly are the best at marketing, and it’s not even close. They have captured the market in a similar way that Apple has. “High end”, good quality products that are desirable. Growing up, I always saw Butterfly as the premium brand, and whilst I’ve used a lot of...

Yeah, in the UK we have local leagues, which is where the vast majority of people play. I play in the top division. Each league has a different standard, as it depends on the location and who plays in it. I play in 4 different leagues, and 2 of them are very very strong, with the other 2...

It’s a loop. The ball before has backspin, and you finish the point with a fast forehand loop. The normal speed is probably a better video to watch to get the full picture. Not everyone’s loop technique is perfect or “textbook”. I don’t think the ball had a huge amount of backspin, and with...

Ohhhhh really! How did I not know that! If that's the case, The Harimoto ALC will be a blade to upgrade to, purely because you *want* it, rather than the added performance it may offer. That being said, I often buy blades because I *want* them, so it's a perfectly good excuse in my book...

This Butterfly blade matrix is always a good reference point. In terms of speed, you want to be looking at the "Reaction Property". The Korbel is just under "11", and virtually the same speed as the Harimoto ALC. it's hard to give "blind" online advice - I have no idea how good you are, and...

I think you've misinterpreted what people have said/meant. You joined last month, and as far as I can see, have only contributed towards your own self promotion. The vast majority of your videos are short (sub 20 seconds) and with a typical "clickbait" title. If people aren't engaging with...

This would be my recommendation as well. If you find 09c too fast as well, then you are really looking at the ALL type of rubbers (not OFF). It's not ideal that you are using a Viscaria either, but to save some pennies, I'd try 09c on your backhand before doing anything. If you like it, then...

I’m going to stick my neck out here (at the risk of getting it chopped off) and suggest that there is a little “lost in translation” going on here. The whole “men vs women” thing in sports is one of the most annoying topics in the whole of sport (foot stomping included! 😂) Table Tennis is...

@jddavid, I think you are my new favourite poster on this forum! 😂 You’ve alluded to perhaps not being a particularly high standard (which is completely fine of course), but having such strongly held opinions about matters that are beyond you, only serves to entertain the online world! There...

Yeah, what @tinykin said...... It would be like someone with short arms asking me not to do drop shots or put the ball wide......

I smell a troll.... But I'll play! This is the foot stomping thread all over again. You are arguing about something that doesn't matter to you.... But seemingly want to try and prove a point? Although quite what point you are trying to prove, is anyone's guess at this point. In your example...

I wasn't sure if I missed some posts here, or if the OP was having a late night argument with themselves? Entertaining none the less..... Complaining about people you've seen foot stomping (but no one you play with.....) is akin to me going down to my local TT committee and asking them to get...

Just think of all those TT League ranking points!

I'm not sure if you realised you've just answered an almost 4 year old thread? But it's always fun when that happens! 😀 For what it's worth, the question that was asked is too general in my opinion, and unless we get wood and carbon specialists in to analyse the materials used, it comes down to...

Whilst we use the Xushaofa 3 star balls the most, I would have to agree with the Nittaku Premium comment from L-zer! They feel the heaviest I've used, and if it weren't for the fact I was so used to the Xushaofa, I'd say they were the best. Butterfly G40 feels heavy-ish, but they are...

I have mixed emotions on anti spin! 😂 Do I like watching it? Yes and no...... Once you've seen one shot, it feels like you've seen them all (certainly in a compilation like this), but it's good to see the longer rallies where people have to really think about what is happening. At a "non pro"...

If you are a Xu Xin fan, and you really want to use his equipment..... Buy it. Nothing else will make you as happy, and you'll feel much happier using Xu Xin's blade over anything else. People get too caught up in analysing statistics and equipment - There really isn't much difference in all...

I'd not call it a flat hit - My definition of "flat" would be little spin/attempted spin on the shot. It's certainly "topspin", but it wouldn't fall under the "topspin loop" category for me. More of a topspin drive (lovely shot by the way!)

You don't think that's marketing spiel? We all have our opinions (and personally, I love a good bit of marketing to make the hype real), but this literally screams marketing. There is only so much they can do with new technologies/materials at this point, so they have to make it seem amazing...

PingPongBird, if the end result is good, keep doing it! 😀 A few things to add...... Stop saying about your "low level"...... Compared to Timo Boll? Maybe.... But we are all low level compared to Timo! 😁 I certainly wouldn't turn any more than you are doing - If you come across someone who...
