Thanks, Andy, the different generations explains it. Also, I am wondering if recent batches could have improved? Again it's only been a couple of match sessions and my humble best at blasting through the ball may not reach the heights, but they have hardly shown signs of wear. I'll try and...

Usually, you're the one with the info. :-P

My club use Kingnik *** seamless balls for match play and I really like them, I was surprised. They feel a bit lighter and spinnier than my recollection of Joola Flash, which is strange: shouldn't these be the same? Not sure about durability, I did break one of their no-star counterparts with an...

Can I just say, it's nice that we have next to 200 posts on a youth tournament related thread. Also, as has been said it is a whole lot of pressure on HT's shoulders but he has already shown wonders (I liked the posts about how his style is already studied as a norm, as opposed to WCQ's - that...

Hi, I think the rubbers you listed require a pretty high level and technique. Speaking of what I know best, I find Rakza 7 excellent for smashes and counters. I know a lot of people love Xiom Vega Pro. Those of course are still medium-hard sponges, in case you don't want too big a difference...

Classy!

Nice point at 2:55 between Pitchford and Sgouropoulos: https://youtu.be/rzBXdvkl7Q8

In the vast majority of clubs, it is mostly men playing. The disparity probably exists across the planet but it looks worse in Europe, TT just not attractive enough to women and certainly not as a career prospect.

Very competitive league this year, nice. And thanks for the updates.

Sorry, I never know how to embed videos from a mobile but here was a game between Truls and Bastien Rembert in the qualifying rounds: https://youtu.be/yAUtbt9MQqI He's been on a healthy rise for the past year: http://www.fftt.com/site/personnes/rembert-bastien I honestly didn't know about...

Thanks! -Tibhar Lebesson and FX-P, in these parts that would be considered a little slow as a beginner setup, some days... Nice to see it hasn't been just marketing talk from them about Lebesson using it. -Players apparently not keen to move to nextgen after Bluefire. -Also a fair amount of...

Good luck getting your money back on those Richard Mille, if they really are an investment. I thought they were product placements too (RM have quite a few athletes and sports-related people on the payroll, even in relatively "minor" sports like Sébastien Ogier in WRC). Far more innovation than...

These tables are great!

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11645926 To be fair, there is a structural issue as well. For each and every sport it is important to consider in which proportions males and females play the sport, what the general perception around them practicing is, which...

Victas Dynawood didn't quite provoke mass hysteria. Wait and see, I guess. Edit: it may help with the consistency of materials, wood being subject to variations quite a bit (that, and a brilliant way to over-charge for recycling all the sawdust from the factory floor...). On the other hand, I...

Not to mention that there are harder things to counterfeit than an autograph. Either way, if "my friend says..." is the only selling argument, should these even remain listed?

I am no EJ and never actually used Chinese rubbers, but this should be handy, especially the posts from Tony: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?14591-Euro-style-Chinese-Rubbers-for-testing

That is crazy, when you think about it.

Hi Thomas! Of course your best bet for extra-cheap is one of many European style Chinese rubbers, but I've always been wondering about the Neottec rubbers which are often on special on TT11. Maybe worth sending them an email for further description?

Kreanga lost all three matches, Maze lost two and one one. I am curious to see how far Allexandre Robinot (+3) will get - he is the French champion after all. Psyched no matter what happens!!
