  1. What are your TT goals for 2024?

    Hi Dan, Getting a wide variety of knocking partners/practical match play at a good level is tricky. Guessing you know the TTD lads games inside out a bit. You should get some of the forum guys down! Jump in the cars and have a mass knock or even TTD vs TTD forum.... 😊 Or TTD VS TTE GP's...
  2. What are your TT goals for 2024?

    3 times a week quality practice is the magic number for making that leap and improving to another level again. You have the pod now and the gents to train with so no doubt thats on the cards!.
  3. Is your club organizing a Year-end Tournament?

    Nothing end of year competition wise but did catch up and have a friendly hit with a couple of the forum members at two of the venues over Christmas. Great time had by all I will say 😊
  4. What are your TT goals for 2024?

    To stay up in our Division and not make the drop down to the lower division. To be able to field a full squad in the process as well would help...
  5. Losing pretty instead of winning ugly

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder on these things. For me there's little that's more exciting than seeing a good defender vs a good attacker. Then again 2 guys pushing for hours... Not so exciting agree.
  6. Losing pretty instead of winning ugly

    For training and practice matches definitely 1000% progress, work on techniques, strokes and tactics. Then slowly bring them into the game. It's a bit by bit introduction of these things into serious match play. It can take months and some to adopt a new skill, stroke, transition etc into high...
  7. What does your Match day preparation look like?

    Deciding not to do that last double shot the night before.... Checking how close the field I wake up in is from the venue... Oh and bat... Bat is handy... There was one time I arrived without it... But that's a different story... On all seriousness there's definitely things that make the day...
  8. Yinhe or Sanwei Balls?

    Interesting nice one thanks 👍. The Sanwei were used in the UK events quite a bit and found them good to use out of experience. Good to know there is another option for knocking. The butterfly R40 that are being used this season are actually not terrible after a fair few sessions. Was a bit...
  9. Advice for backhand rubber

    Tricky one as K3 is a good solid rubber but isn't super long life agreed. I use it myself on backhand. The first honeymoon period is fantastic. Then around end of month 2 it's starting to show some signs and pickup issues definitely. Interested to read options myself!
  10. Yinhe or Sanwei Balls?

    Personally the Sanwei balls are the ones I would go for. Played quite a few events with them in the UK. There's also the Blue boxed Sanwai HD. Both good solid choices.

  14. Please recommend long pips rubber for me!

    If you aren't playing in competition and it's a knockabout/basement type laugh there's no issue of rules really. Just didn't want to see you invest time which could have been better spent on constructive training if you are playing competitions etc. I know the rules mention alot about the...
  15. Please recommend long pips rubber for me!

    Without trying to rain on your parade blah.. .. Are 2 rackets actually legal in competition play?. If you are playing with your mates at the local club knockabout or basement type play sure... Its a laugh with 2 rackets. There's a fair few good umpires on here who can confirm before you invest...

  18. I wanna play with the big boys!

    If I'm not wrong reading this... Day 2 of switching equipment to a rubber that's more reactive. I haven't read the whole x posts btw yet. I see this a bit like going from hurricane to D05/fast ESN and making the reply my returns now are not as safe/good. If that makes sense.. Pips make the...
