Oh that looks like that didn't go well. yeah those thin OX LP sheets will do that. That's why when I play OX, I really prefer Xiying 979. That base sheet is so thick, I've glued it on my bat with rubber cement. No joke. Just one layer on the blade, nothing on the rubber & stick it on. It won't...

Simply the best players make it to the top 300. It's not that coaches are seeking out lefties to coach in hopes they'll become a world class player someday. It's different and something most players (righties & lefties themselves) are not use to. For that reason, lefties have some sort of...

Went to club last night. Had my camera and was planning on recording some video but club the first 1/2 hour was pretty slow so I never ended up getting it out. In hindsight, I should have as it turned out to be a good night. Baby I'm back and it felt so good! The short pips with Long pips combo...

Certainly that has been and will continue to be the case. But for the ones who do remain, I think they'll have to play a more balanced style. I will say I think there is something to be said for having something unique about your game. One, it's bad for the sport if everybody plays the same...

Truer words have never been spoken. Xu Xin's play reminds of of Ryu Seung-min's play back in the day when he was young. :P Step around everything and play that monster forehand. Problem is the ball is bigger now and a little less spiny and XX is a little older. he still has no BH and is afraid...

so confused by the Panagiotis Gionis option... Well this just became the easiest poll ever. Can i get some money on this? ;)

Oh i've got your back on this one. It's not a modification bur rather a blade switch. This might interest you... And probably would work out better than trying to modify an existing blade. If I was ever to switch blades & was looking for a cpen/jpen like setup, there is no doubt in my mind I...

I hit for an hour with a modern defender at our club before work today. He's solid has even beat Daniel a couple of times recently. Fore reference Daniel is our club's top player who is just over USATT 2000. Anyways, it was good practice. I feel like I've been on this weird long journey but the...

Woot Woot. Nice!. Congrats. Few things are better than that feeling of finally getting over on someone you've been chasing. I actually have a similar experience. My training partner has beaten me for probably the last two years (we don't play every week. Usually just practice. That's about to...

Holy thread revival batman! :) Because I love this style and I think there are a few others out there who do to, I thought "how can we have this thread talking LP penhold technique and not have Jian Jiang Huang, or more accurately 黄建疆, in it? To me he is the gold standard for LP penhold play...

Got to be 12 huh? paddle palace (us supplier) http://www.paddlepalace.com/Dr-Neubauer-Edge-Tape/productinfo/MUTA/

I'm kinda particular about this one. I don't like going without edge tape because I want to protect my blade against any possible dings. But at the same time, I think 95% of all edge tape is largely useless as they're about as thick as paper. To me those are just decorative stickers. For this...

I was about to say this. +1

What's Lin Gaoyan's age? Isn't he significantly younger than those two? Comparing him to Ma Long or Xu Xin (who is on the tail end of his career) I think is a little unfair given the age gap. Perhaps his technique does allow him to be quicker but I think we should also compare it could be the...

Dang OSPH too many good things to hit on. Since you have a nice backhand serve, I thought I'd share this with you in case you've never seen it. I swear if I can ever figure out & execute my backhand serve variations 1/2 as good as this gentlemen here, it's all over for everybody. :P Seriously...

OSPH, Love the video. I like your game. There are aspects of it I think are pretty good. Your kill shot on FH when the ball is over the table is fast and lethal. I don't know about you but I think my backhand blocking with RPB is better & more consistent than my TPB. At least vs heavy loops...

So this might seem fairly obvious but it's something I've never put into practice before... Until now. We all kinda have a couple of go-to points we like. Setups where we've played it a million times and it simply fits into what we like to do. I've always felt that I play best vs someone not...

Does anybody have an idea for league play at our table tennis club? Some players have expressed interests in having a league. But I'm thinking, how do you run a league where people sometimes show up to play & sometimes don't. We could do an individual league but honestly that's probably not...
