for me the colour doesn't matter too. what messes with me more if i trained on a stop table but play the match on a slide table. sometimes you don't know this before and then it takes a lot of time for me to get the feel for it. sometimes i even need to change tactics.

'all over the world' is a big generalization. i would say it could be just a country / cultural difference, because in germany the tables usually are getting cleaned before a matchday and therefore a lot of people doing this 'touch the table' routine. i would not play a match on a table with...

no offense, but that says more about where and with whom you play than about the habit itself

i was teached the same by my coach. you will always have a forwardmotion in a topspinstroke, but against underspin it is from down to up coming from the legs and against nospin it is more from behind. the more underspin the more up you go, but you need always a forward momentum to give the ball...

since the price updates over the last years i would say yes, tenergy is a good choice again. but something like dignic 09c? that is some money making tool for me

i noticed the same and sometimes when i play against people and see their paddle first and think: "wow they play with viscaria super alc and dignics 05 both sides? oh shit they must be super good" and then i start warmup with them and they can't get more then 5 balls on the table i am seriously...

i also do it, i get really sweaty hands while playing and since you can only get a towelbreak after every six points, it helps. then at one point it became a calming mental thing and now i do it even without sweating :D

yes that is true, we have the luxury that many TT brands are coming from germany, so maybe in countrys where you don't have tt shops and are only able to buy online there will be not much difference between butterfly and tibhar except for the price

but i think that is so sad, because tabletennis is such a niche sport and most companys invest in clubs, sponsor players or even tournaments, so there really connected to the scene. while butterfly is doing this weird marketing strategy of beeing super exclusive and disconnected.

i was actually kinda shocked when i registered to this forum and saw how many people play or praise butterfly or DHS, because that is really uncommon in germany. here you have the opposite and the most played companys are andro and tibhar

that is true, a lot of tt shops in germany don't sell butterfly, or when they do then not officially and just 'behind the curtains', because butterfly has a really restricted selling policy. i don't know many people playing butterfly in germany and when you do see one then there mostly full...

for me it plays like a slower viscaria with a higher throw, but feeling wise it is so different, because it feels really soft compared to viscaria and has a lot less vibrations. it also has a really fast rebound and therefore plays like an outer carbon blade with the forgiveness and feel like an...

that is correct, you need to start that habit even during warmup and it will take some time getting used to. i think the second drill i wrote is the easiest to adapt and gives fastest result when you start that drill with serve and receive based on my own experience.

i would decide purely based on the handle. is it comfortable in your hands and do you have a good grip? you will need to change feeling anyhow by changing from a slow flexible 5ply to a rather fast and stiff 7 ply. try it in a shop or try someone elses bat. personally i like the handle of...

in this video it looked like no one pushed short, so no need to be glued that close to the table. you can start with your receiving position be one step back and then you have more time and quality in your own ball, too

thanks for your video! shadowpractice is a really nice way to get a basic understanding of connected movement. if your imagination is big enough you could even do it with closed eyes. then you can get a lot from it. i know some bundesliga players that do that before a match. even without moving...

hard to say without some footage of you. 1. maybe you are a player that doesn't move much in general and you never notice, because you mostly train regular drills or 2. you are a player that moves a lot even in practice but doesn't have the confidence in your strokes yet, so you watch the ball...

did any of you tried these new natural rubber glues that tibhar, andro and donic recently released? they all share the same bottle with a black and transparent cap and all called 'pro ... glue'. i heard they are really thick like DHS but without ammonia and give a totally different feeling of...

did anybody know why they had a third timeout in the last set between yidi and siqi?

for me what creates the feel of 'crisp' is an hard outer with an softer inner + core. that is the reason the most famous crisp blade is Butterfly Viscaria, because it has an hard outer (Koto + ArylateCarbon) + soft inner (Ayous) and a even softer core (Kiri). so you just need to find a blade...
