  1. What makes more difference - rubbers or blades

    It's great here! I think the rubber is just as important as the blade. I started playing table tennis in the mid-1970s. A Paul Day blade with Srivers on it. Who remembers this left-handed top player!:) Over the years, I've tried just about everything from 5-ply wood, single-ply wood, homemade...
  2. Fastarc g-1 rubber is good but...

    You can try Gewo-Hype XT Pro 40.0 οr Andro Hexer Powergrip SFX (FH) Andro Hexer Grip SFX (BH) But if it's damp in your club, no rubber will do what you want it to do.

    Great final so far between DQ and SM.
  4. Trip to Paris

    Levallois, Benjamin Brossier, he also plays in Belgium for my old club, Sokah-Hoboken/Antwerp.

    Miwa last 2 services at 2/3 and 9/9 they are illegal, just like the previous ones. Other services are acceptable.

    Definitely a serious injury for Anders.
  7. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2025 - 4-9 NOV 2025

    Crazy Anders…he is different!
  8. Does Lin Yun Ju still have potential to be world no.1?

    (Un)predictable is perhaps the most accurate description. He is certainly not as crazy as Anders, Truls or the French boys. You could also write something about consistency in his strokes. I think he is one of the most consistent players on the circuit, but I sometimes find that he lacks...

    Last point from Dima was typical for Tomo, no reaction at all on his FH, only rubbernecking. It is high time that Tomo started thinking about what to do next.
  10. Does Lin Yun Ju still have potential to be world no.1?

    I didn't want to start a new topic, so why doesn't Lin Yun-ju win more top events? He is one of my top favourites in today's table tennis circus. Talented, great FH & BH, brilliant timing and, above all, a left-hander! How is it that Lin always just fails to make it through to the semi-finals...
  11. Logos/engravings/plastic on the handle - do you have use it BH or FH?

    I have been playing with the racket logo in my palm since time immemorial for the same reason you describe.

    Iron-strong backhand from Kanak, and this against a Jorgic who himself has a much better backhand than his forehand. The first point of the match was one that came into focus... via the camera.
  13. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    Sabine should not have lost here. Had she played more tactically, for one example by not playing her forehand serve from the backhand but from the middle of the table or even from her forehand corner with an outward spin, she would have had opportunities. But she can only learn from such...
  14. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    It's true and not only for top 100 in the world but on all levels.
  15. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    Well, if they give you a cross, you have to head it in, don't you?🤷‍♂️
  16. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    The difference between Sabine and Luka is that Sabine learned to play table tennis before her move, while Luka is a better ping pong player. Something to think about.;)

    That's right. He's extremely talented, but he lacks character and perseverance. It's not the first time we've noticed that.
  18. WTT Champions Montpellier 2025, 10/28-11/2

    He will be able to continue playing at the highest level for a while. If he really cannot produce cartilage, he has the same condition I had when I was 17. Medical diagnosis: formation of a joint mouse and inability to produce cartilage. I still wanted to reach the highest level at the age of...

    It's incredible that Sabine managed to turn this around. Time and time again, she was caught out by long, fast balls on her forehand, which she was always too late and too short to reach. She managed to break free from the pressure after she finally started playing parallel balls with her...
