Yet, some handles are considered large and some are not. We live in a world where more and more of buying stuff is going online. Here in Norway, the only store that I know exist that sell table tennis equipment is now also going online. Some quantifiable measures would be helpful in order to...

So, I have 20 cm from the wrist to the longest finger. Is this far from the norm or is it normal?

I am comfortable with classic Stiga ST grip, but at what size is it best to use, lets say, large version of Nittaku blades? I took some pictures of my hand besides an Avalox P500. I think it has the same blade shape as Viscaria, and I know it is exactly the same as Stiga Offensive Classic.

I play with Rakza Z, which is a hybrid rubber, and I find that tackyness changes a bit over time, but from factors that I mostly have no control over. I use plastic sheets so I dont have to rinse it clean every time before play. I think cleaning in general reduces the lifespan of the topsheet...

I guess less spin from the rubber require more movement from the player and more movement require less precision. The better the player the more precision (touch). This means lower level players can play on strength/power and get a lot of spin from that. The higher level a player is, the more...

I wish there were more minimalist shoes because I have very strong feet and I like the feel of 170'ish grams like my running shoes

Id honestly say that most blades have their plusses and minuses and the main chunk of your level will come from the grind and adapting to the blade instead of an endless search for a blade that adapts to you. I think this is a trap that many people fall into and then never get to fully develop...

Its a similar question to that William James, one of the main figures to establish the study of psychology, asked when explaining what psychology is, albeit the form of the question was that of "why we get nervous in front of crowds". I suppose its related to your ego expecting things from you...

Figured I would revive this thread and mention Avalox P500. Anyone with experience using it?

Depends a little what you like. I use Stiga Offensive Classic and have adapted well to it, but a lot of people dont like it. Stiga has another similar flexible blade, allthough I havent tried it, called Celero, which is a bit more quality and nice for beginners I think. I know one dude who plays...

The prize for butterfly products are insane as well. The argument for the Nittaku Acoustic price is its manufacturing process, which is different. The thing you are paying for in Butterfly products is not the materials nor the technology of production -- you are paying for the sponsorship of top...

I thought the insane prize of Nittaku Acoustic would make it so that the manufacturing wouldnt have a big weight difference

try doing things differently, surround yourself with motivated people with different perspectives, take a break and try again later

I think there is also something you should consider, and thats what type of coaching environment you are in. We like to think that we are individuals making decisions for the best of our own paths, but we also are very socially dependant. If practice partners and people that monitor your...

Would love to hear how it compares to the original mantra series. I was adviced to try the original Mantra M on my backhand, but ended up choosing Yasaka Mark V during my development.

I have been using the Stiga Offensive Classic since I started a year ago and these are the blades that I have been looking at for when its time for an upgrade: * Avalox P500 (or the Nittaku version) * DHS Power-G PG5 * Stiga Infinity VPS V * Stiga Offensive Classic WRB I ended up ordering an...

Thanks! I have some match play videos as well. You can clearly see how difficult it is to do good strokes in match situations for sure ;D ... anyway, my equipment is listed on the left here on my profile (Stiga Offensive Classic ST, Yasaka Rakza Z on forehand and Yasaka Mark V on backhand) Btw...

I dont know. I have played for one year. You would have to rate my level by watching https://www.youtube.com/@z0uLess/videos

its not about me not having thick skin, its about me telling you that you are wasting your time by being in your own head and sitting there writing to yourself. if you want to participate in the discussion, then participate in the doing as well ... dont just ask me to do more. claiming that I...

from this reply it appears that you havent really understood my reply edit: seriously though, haha, you really need to understand how to communicate constructively. hows about you film yourself instead and show me? anyone can be a critic and an internet keyboard warrior, which is why I have to...
