You often see them four sale here and at MyTT.

Somebody really said Viscaria?

I would honestly suggest using 3* seamless balls for training. Find the cheapest ones you can get, maybe Kingnik or something like that. They are pretty durable and playable. 1* seamless are really bad. And the cheapest 3* seamless may not be much more expensive than some of the Nittaku...

It is sad that a conversation about a fun match between two cute and talented kids turns to this. And she is not her brother. But it is a bad trend mostly seen in kids. It is unavoidable now.

Umpires in other sport's do it, are empowered to make judgment calls like that. I have no problem with it. People on trial four serious crimes face judgment calls. . First warn them. Then call it. It would stop it fast because coaches would stop telling their kids to use it as a tactic!!

He didn't do it to himself if he has been coached to do it. These are kids, this guy, his little sister, and all the other screami g kids. They try to please their coaches. TTpshot says it is the mentality. I ask, whose mentality? Not any of the great Japanese players since the 50s...

Of course things were different with 38 mm balls and speed glue and early carbon blades often felt like you were playing with a piece of glass. .

So many more choices in composite blades now that it's hard to generalize. Funny thing is some of the guys who advised me to avoid carbon blades in late 90s now play with Viscaria after trying mine some ten years later.

G40+ has a tendency to slide on the table, especially when it is worn. It has a different and smoother surface than any other plastic ball. Takes some getting used to. I really don't like it much.

Here is what I noticed. She looked a bit sad sometimes when she lost points. That is normal, you can see it in her face. But when she won a point, she would scream, but there was no accompanying facial sign of emotion to go with her scream. It is forced, not natural. Even her screams seemed...

OK. It is conceivable that the doraemon who posts at MyTT since 2007 is not you. I could conceive it. I'm not going to spend any time worrying about it.

Yes. That is accurate.

Indeed he is. See my previous post. It is strange for sure how people amuse themselves. On the up-side, we had some good discussions about these blades.

By the way, doraemon is not who he says he is and NL's suspicion that he is trolling is substantiated (although not malicious trolling, maybe he sees himself as just facilitating discussion). In fact, he has been a member of mytt since 2007 (which would make him pretty old for a junior, which...

Jazz.

By the way, the DHS D40+ is now listed on the official approval list from ITTF. It is rumored to be similar to the Nittaku Premium 40+. But I still can't find anyplace that actually sells it.

The G40+ is not seamless. I don't particularly like it but I prefer it to seamed 40+ Chinese balls (such as the regular Btfly 40+). Btfly does not market a seamless ball. See website below. http://www.old.ittf.com/_front_page/ittf1.asp?category=balls

To be honest, I prefer the G40+ Btfly practice ball to the G40+ with the pink logo that is ITTF approved!

Every time I make pretty much any equipment change, it screws me up for a long time, no matter what it feels likes on the first day. So I really don't recommend doing it. People who have seen my posts over the years will also know that for the most part, I explore very limited areas of...

If someone describes his/her playing style as "reckless attack", perhaps being a bit less reckless would be better than an equipment change.
