  1. New era with DHS D40+ 3 Star Balls

    Seamless ball makers have no intention of going away I am sure. I prefer the ABS balls but I hope the seamless ball makers continue to keep downward pressure on prices.
  2. Weight of Pro's rackets and blades

    I would very mich like a blade with more whatever. Where can I get one?
  3. Which physical exercises are the best for table tennis improvement?

    Yogi, I like random elements in drills too and spend a lot of time on them. But there is a place for very structured ones also, which is why even pros do them. It all depends on what you are trying to fix or improve! There is no ONE absolute best drill for footwork. There are lots of good...
  4. New vs Old Viscarias

    Yes, mostly that has been true, but not entirely. For most of its history, Viscarias tended to be heavier (almost always in the range of 88-95 grams, usually >90), but there was a period not too long ago when there started to be a lot of very light ones on the market. Just a year or two ago --...
  5. FZD Infinity

    If you are in Netherlands, you will get the blade quicker if you order from TT11 than from Tomioka.
  6. Which physical exercises are the best for table tennis improvement?

    You have to learn to walk before you can run. Quite a few people amazingly (or not) do not actually know HOW to efficiently move in one direction or another, so if you force them immediately to incorporate randomness into a drill, all you will do is reinforce bad habits. And that is part of the...
  7. Which physical exercises are the best for table tennis improvement?

    I have discovered recently that nothing cures table tennis-induced minor back pain quite as well as a 30 km bicycle ride.
  8. Which to go ? Japan open or china open

    For your viewing pleasure (and the three places that stick in my mind): https://www.google.com/search?q=beautiful+sichuan+girls&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi_pNan1L3TAhUqw1QKHZTjApYQsAQIKg&biw=1467&bih=913...
  9. Which to go ? Japan open or china open

    There is no bad decision. It would be a sin for a tourist to est Sichuan food in Japan when there is so much awesome Japanese food to be had! By the same token a lot of the best aspects of Sichuan food are never seen outside of that province even at great Sichuan reataurants in places like...
  10. New era with DHS D40+ 3 Star Balls

    I've been using ABS balls since NP40 came out. I win and lose points just the same as with 40 mm. For me its just ping pong at this point. But cellulose acetate really took the fun out for me but I probably would have adjusted in time. ABS made adjustment to 40+ easier. Since I never...
  11. New era with DHS D40+ 3 Star Balls

    For all these players. Very soon now everybody will have adjusted to ABS balls and table variation will matter more than ball variation. Some DHS tables have a very glassy surface. People don't talk about that so much. I think the world rankings won't change much because of balls per se. (I...
  12. Which to go ? Japan open or china open

    Japan is a lot easier for tourists who only speak English. Of course lots of Singaporeans speak Chinese.
  13. Which to go ? Japan open or china open

    Sichuan food is unique and not everybody loves it like I do and for sure he can find it in Singapore. Chengdu is famous for great street food and a lot of it is quite unique.
  14. Which to go ? Japan open or china open

    Now if it was Kyoto I might be making arrangements to go myself. I love that place!
  15. Which to go ? Japan open or china open

    Girls are pretty in Japan, BUT from this remark it is obvious you have never been to Chengdu. Women there (and Chongqing) are stunning. (I married one, in full disclosure.) A remarkable number of Chinese models come from that area but literally the only place I've been where it was equally...
  16. FZD Infinity

    ProTT offers some blades at superinflated prices and suggests they are "special". Buyer beware.
  17. New vs Old Viscarias

    They also stopped trying to make them light. They feel like the ones from 2008 to 2010. A good thing
  18. Dimitrij Ovtcahrov looking super sharp!

    Giang, do you live in Dusseldorf area? I sometimes travel to Cologne for work.
  19. New era with DHS D40+ 3 Star Balls

    Last time I wrote here to say I haven't broken one yet was March 17. I still haven't broken one (although I alternate the D40+ with my Nittaku Premiums, which I will do until I have used up my stash of Nittakus). As for the whole "no spin" issue (non-issue), I for one am not in the least bit...
  20. Korea Open 2017

    As Next Level pointed out, it seems Timo doesnt have trouble getting lots of spin on ABS balls.
