  1. Europe Top 16 Cup - 2020

    The last judgment is given in twenty-two points, too. Gauzy is playing the harp, on the sidelines. :-/
  2. Stiff and soft blade?

    Yes, I thought about 7-ply hinoki but discarded it for the same reason. Maybe Septear Lead, although I haven't tried it. Tibhar IV-L, I am considering just now. Four-ply ayous, very common in France. Hardly flexes, interestingly, the blade takes it all in although it's not lifeless by any...
  3. Stiff and soft blade?

    Nittaku S-5? The Offensive S is great but not exactly on the stiff side, in my opinion. Sort of half-way. The Nittaku is both softer and stiffer, I think.
  4. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    The Olympics is not a dinner party you can differ with a few phone calls. The amount of organisation which goes into this kind of thing is perhaps bigger than anything else in terms of ressources, staff, venues, logistics, subcontractors, government bodies of all kinds, etc. If that wasn't...
  5. I need a help

    Cornilleau Aero Off+ is very light, and used by some players in your situation. The whole line has a good reputation.
  6. Joola Aruna off vs Dhs long 5

    The one I played with had OG Rhyzm on it both sides and yes, the combination did feel that way to me, even on the receiving end. Not extreme and certainly playable, just pretty straightforward. T05 may have been a different story. I know JC from the French brand of TT11 recommended Vega Pro or...
  7. Joola Aruna off vs Dhs long 5

    Hey, you are quite on the journey, too. I can't speak for the ML5 but a blade I have mentioned a few times is the TPE Perform, which is supposed to be a higher-end version of the Rosskopf Emotion - all three, including the Aruna, being based on the same formula. I don't use composites and have...
  8. Single Ply hinoki blades

    Beauty! Makes you want to play J-Pen just for the heck of it. The samurai drawing is quite fitting, too (Niten Ichi-ryū? - fond memories of Tenchu, Stealth Assassins on PS1 back when I used to play videogames - sorry, to each their own fount of knowledge... the master in said art was the one...
  9. German Open 2020

    That's a very nice photo.
  10. Looking for TSP Blazze All + blade

    Interesting blade, never seen those around. Still available in some places, it seems. https://www.speedybatsports.co.uk/asp_pages/products.asp?id=522 https://www.posno-tafeltennis.nl/tsp-blaze-all https://atte.at/TSP-Blazze-ALL-_4
  11. Help: looking for a ALL blade with a thick handle

    You can find the measurements of the their handles on the website, and compare to anything you have under hand. They will also make custom handles, upon request. Fantastic blades. If you are looking at this kind of market and prices, ARTTE blades are also reported to have chunky handles and...
  12. Under €40 but is it any good? | Xiom Vega X Review

    Tough crowd. I thought the essence was clear enough. The target is obviously a wide audience, and the video seemed to me to answer all of these questions to a good extent. Personal opinion, of course.
  13. Arnaud from TTBelgiumTV playing :)

    Ahah, nice. The general enthusiasm makes it even better. The second hand switch is the one I am most impressed with, not as pretty a combination as the first, but really quick reaction time. I wouldn't even consider it, in real time (I am also less skilled than you are..). Fair play from the...
  14. good reversed rubber for bh (coming from short pimples)

    Yes well, I did mean that with respect, too. My tone was mostly due to the sheer number of such threads by the OP, and my feeling the need for a bit of a wake up call (and of course, I wasn't the only one). But I didn't mean it to be condescending - anymore than necessary, anyway. I think the...
  15. good reversed rubber for bh (coming from short pimples)

    I will not accept that someone with good rallying skills but poor serves and returns beats me but loses to everyone who can stay in the rally, etc. You need a mirror, not a rubber.
  16. Salah vs Lovren: Lunar New Year Table Tennis Challenge

    Jesus almighty, I just checked the standings in the league, including today's result. Wow. Also, Salah's footwork needs improving (ah!).
  17. I need new equipament

    I thought that sounded like it came from a thick school bully at best and, if I had been her (assuming it's a "her"), came here for the first time and received no other answers than this, it might have turned me right off coming back to this place. Which, for all we can tell, may well be the...
  18. TSP Ventus Spin compared to Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft

    From distant memory too, I would have said that the main difference between the two is that R7 Soft is bouncier and with a bit of a lower throw, in part due to that characteristic. I think Ventus Spin is very good in terms of control as far as soft tensors go, so long as you can read incoming...
  19. 2019 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals

    There were a couple were he expected the ball on the opposite side and still managed to stop his motion half-way, turn back to the other side *and* return the ball aggressively without, as you said, ever backing off the table. These flips from Ma Long would pierce through almost anyone, even if...
  20. 2019 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals

    Oh nevermind, embedding fiasco. The good old and much over-quoted line was "The whole secret lies in confusing the enemy, so that he cannot fathom our real intent." I'd trust XX to be good at that kind of thing. Sure would want him on my side, when things get messy. Oh and on a very different...
