Man, you don't make it easy to answer! Thanks for taking the time, lots of interesting content. I'll stick with "it's not as easy as "Europeans are lazy"" (they would all be rubbish at football, as an example - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup#Knockout_stage), but couldn't...

'takes you way back to that time!! ;) (the bit at 1:00) Bienvenue !

Thank you Zeio for the time taken to translate, but for me that conclusion is a mighty pile of bullswool. And highly condescending, too. Not sure it even deserves debunking. It is also overly simplistic to count the number of players in the top 1000 sent from about 20 different European...

Just to be clear, I wasn't referring to you in my last comment, which I could have refrained from mentioning altogether. I hope whichever blade you get will suit you nicely! Also, do hang on to your Spark, I looked around after reading your thread and from what I have seen these seem to be...

Are you (unconsciously, I guess) saying you want more flex? In which case, what did you like or didn't like when you tried the Korbel and Primorac? That is a pretty generic description but I'd say yes, based on this and the previous quote, 5-ply all-wood could be a good direction to go. It...

“But it's the truth even if it didn't happen.”

Ahah, I'll take the "mediocre" description! To be fair I am thinking of G-1 as my next replacement, for the reasons NextLevel mentioned. Not sure anymore if that's a step forward or backward in time. Shout out for Aurus too, which can be beastly in the right hands, and I wish I could try Genius...

I for one will be looking forward to your or anyone else's feedback, if only for curiosity's sake. Joola make some excellent blades, and there is no reason premium equipment should be the preserve of one or two specific brands, if there is a market for it (which there obviously is). But based...

Yes, to be fair the only link with table tennis here is... TTD members. Personally I got into the Premier League somehow because I lived in the UK for a couple of years, and the pub culture was so strong there, you couldn't not know or at least hear something about it all. I think they (with a...

Shoot, I saw Jiménez put one in against Liverpool - yay!!! ... in the FA Cup. Oh. :-( Welcome on board.

Tibhar Vari Spin, I am pretty sure this would suit you.

Sincere congratulations, but I just want to add (by the way, I often speak about Cornilleau products, not because of national preference but because I am indeed often exposed to them due to living in this country): they are not out of competitive TT yet. Sorry for the small font. Names...

No, not even close (the tables they build in particular are excellent, and very popular here in France - also because they are entirely designed and made in the country, not stamped OEM stuff) but the Calderano and Gauzy blades won't be produced anymore. From the information going around at this...

Eriksen, Auba, you beauties. :-P Joe leading by a hair so far. I haven't looked around all the options, but it is more fun than I expected. For those interested, it took me about ten minutes to get going (choosing a couple of players randomly, I'll admit). I wish we had something similar for...

Not sure how this'll go and I don't watch a whole lot of games, but whatever, I am in !

You can also add the TPE Perform to this list. Better finish and materials than the Rosskopf, more expensive and, from memory, the outer ply may be heat-treated (don't quote me on this)? It has been a while now, but I really liked it when I tried one and may consider it if I ever switch to...

Bounce test with a used D40+ *** shows the Cornilleau bounces slightly higher (not much in it, mostly visible after the third bounce following a 50cm drop) and the behaviour is overall similar. A few wobbly ones, not nearly as bad as the Butterfly Easy but I guess consistent with the 1* rating...

Never thought of this one! But yes, this thread is useless so might as well. I want a drinking contest with Quadri Aruna, Ma Lin, Chen Weixing (he can bring in Rosskopf as well, we'll keep a seat for him), Jean-Michel Saive, Damien Eloi and Wang Liqin. Liu GuoLiang to pour the shots, and...

Do you mean G40+? If yes, ask Andy about them, ahah. I played with them again recently for a few hours each time, and I didn't mind them as much as I used to, at first. They don't feel like any other plastic balls. Light (almost flimsy) and okay spin out of the box, at least the consistency was...

Happy days!!! I played with orange Cornilleau abs balls this evening, I hadn't realised how much I missed that colour! These are the ones (probably available for cheaper somewhere): https://fr.cornilleau.com/balle-de-ping-pong/1618-p-ball-x72-blanche.html I won't do a full review as I was...
