  1. Troublemaking at the 2017 US Open

    You're absolutely right. It's a bit different in California as there are a bit more clubs than other areas of the country, but even then it's not that many and they vary in size, structure and purpose. I guess university clubs are the only ones to have that kind of travel capability and with...
  2. Carbon blades - are they better?

    If you actually research the facts and trends, most pros who choose carbon use ALC (or similar across other manufacturers). Some choose ZLC, when they do, they mostly go for Inner ZLC. Tomokazu uses a custom ALC blade and the handle looks like any of the 4 ZJK blades made by Butterfly, except...
  3. Troublemaking at the 2017 US Open

    As someone who has played in US tournaments and is about to play in the French league system, I'd say the European league systems (from amateur to professional teams) provide a strong developmental and constantly competitive structure that is truly lacking in the US and is needed if the USATT...

  6. Nittaku Ma Long Carbon

  7. Genesis vs shining dragon vs rising dragon vs TG3-60 ???

    On the same topic, have any of you tried the new Joola Golden Tango? Tensor sponge with Chinese sticky topsheet
  8. EPIC Clash: Timo Boll vs Michael Maze (XMAS Special)

    This is one of the most spectacular matches I've seen! It's great to see Maze play at this level and going all out, so much spin and speed pressure back and forth from both players. When Maze plays like this, he's the most entertaining player to watch along with Xu Xin, they don't hold back...
  9. Any suggestion for a >$50 budget blade ?

    Universities there typically have a club. Where do you play in the meantime? Regardless, I would stick to Carl's advice.
  10. How do you deal with TT addiction??

    Exactly what I was going to say. Or you can take them to the club when they're 5 or so, it'll be a great activity to have with them. In the meantime you could do a lot of different training by yourself on a table at home, garage or outdoor, maybe even buy a robot. That's what I plan on doing.
  11. How often do you guys play table tennis in a week?

    3-5 times a week, 2.5-3 hours each time. Mostly training and some practice matches, round robins and tournaments.
  12. Any suggestion for a >$50 budget blade ?

    Red flag / strike #3. Shouldn't be hard to find a club and great players in Taiwan...
  13. Prott Pro Version / Provincial difference ?

    He also uses his signature blade which is a rather weak all-wood blade... yet he hits so hard..

  16. Lighter alternatives to MX-P

    Thank you Airoc. I was actually just looking over TT-Spin's posts on the rubbers I was inquiring about as well as the various weights he's recorded. Doesn't look like EL-S is any or much lighter than MX-P indeed, although I will likely give it and/or the R47 a try at some point to compare the...
  17. Lighter alternatives to MX-P

    Do you guys have a rough idea of what the following rubbers weigh (even if it's a range): MX-P 2.0 EL-P Max Aurus Prime Max Aurus Prime 2.1 R47 Max R47 2.1 R42 Max Between EL-P Max and MX-P 2.0, which will give me more spin and speed?
