i prefer those leather and walnut TT paddles from Tiffany https://www.tiffany.com/accessories/games-novelties/everyday-objects-leather-and-walnut-table-tennis-paddles-60561737/ and TakuKichi has tested it for you: its good for you choppers !

i could easily forgive the first 2, but surely not the last...

I’ll just be happy to meet her but I can understand you want to meat her

Think of it another way the current reality of TT is that a large minority (20%+ ? ) of players are pips (SP+LP) players, this % can be even larger for some specific categories (age, sex, region)... ITTF just can't tell those people to give up their playing style - and maybe give up the sport...

TensorBackhand lives in an imaginary world indeed because he loses badly to pips and he never plays any at his training. he's stuck in the middle of a local TT desert where there are no pips players around him, and he thinks his desert is the whole world. I used to think like him when i was a...

it’s only true at lower levels than pips player cannot play with inverted rubbers. At something like 2xxx US level, all pips player know how to twiddle and actually know how to use BOTH inverted and pips rubbers. Both their BH and FH drive will be better than yours. Actually i remember that...

Yes he does. But you have to come see him in Japan, and he has a busy schedule. IIRC he is charging around 12,000 yens per hour. Current approximative FX rate 1 USD = 141 JPY 1 EUR = 157 JPY

It would be great if its still possible. I'd love to try it once !!! lol ... maybe the WTT should allow it. they would replenish their coffers with "tourist" money ---- i have much less incredible stories to tell, but I'm lucky to be able to play with a lot of pros and ex-pros here in Japan...

It is not allowed

how come Szocs / Aruna / Gardos / Hachard / Gacina .... were there ? they're not arab are they ?

no i don't see which competition it was. Jeux Mediterranéens ?

in Japan amateur tournaments, there is no timeout rule, that's one less thing to think about

Hi @Musaab that was quite funny. but you make me curious. - what is your point ranking in France (I'm French too, i used to have 1350. Left for Japan more than 20years ago, i believe i'm still worth around this level, maybe only slightly better despite all the coaching)? - what competition...

ouch

Perhaps as soon as next session !

@UmutCosar I don’t know who you are and who your coach is but my advice is don’t and never give up. These are hard times. But what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. You’ll recover. It’s normal not to play well if you are injured or have been injured. I am very hopeful it’s only a...

ok just like Arnold once famously said I lied. It wasn’t exactly my last post. Only my last post about Ai-chan So I will reply only to the last part of your answer of your reply. I participate on a French TT forum. Yes there is a topic about gossip although it’s not active. But there’s plenty...

Believe in your coach.

@UpSideDownCarl thank you for your stats. I don't want to monopolize this thread so this will be my last post on it. I agree with you, I've posted a lot already but there's a few things I want to add. What I've seen is that there are a few guys like @pingpongpaddy or @ttmonster or even @NDH...

I've missed a few episodes about Ai's private life... She is not living in Japan anymore but China ? She already got re-married ? with a Chinese man ? a Japanese man ?
