Put different rubbers on both sides and flip it over from time to time to see which side works best. Easy.

Legit. At MyTT there quite a few threads over the years asking this question. They are definitely not scammers. The consensus seems to be that the blades and rubbers they sell are not fake, but their clothes are, and often don't size correctly. Prices are extremely low. Communication can be a...

One other thing if money is an issue. I like it a lot with MX-P which is cheaper than T-05.

Actually it does to me also, now that you mention it.

On another subject, I always thought that a smaller head size makes a blade faster, and the Soulspin web pages also says that. Is that actually true?

The very first post on this thread closed with this: "What is the actual cause for the sensation of more dwell?" One of the first questions therefore entails sensory physiology. Since actual dwell times vary over some range around 1 millisecond or less, we know...

I don't want to argue about it because I fundamentally agree that sound affects the way we play, but the fact is that I am using the most precise possible language to describe this, and if you decide you don't want to understand...????? Well Ok. But that is pretty much exactly what I said...

That is exactly what I said! Deaf people would still feel the vibrations on the racket. With their hands and through proprioception. But they wouldn't hear it (using apparatus in their ears which by definition in a deaf person is dysfunctional). To whit: I wrote, "they would still sense the...

No. But they would still sense the ball hitting the blade through the other various senses. Also, if you wore thick padded gloves you would hear the ball hit just like normal even if hands didn't sense the usual impact. So how would one play with ear plugs? I've never tried it. Overgrip didnt...

Maybe it is just a shadow but it looks as if Steffan Mengel's blade has been altered to make the handle a little thicker. It looks like the handles were removed and another piece of wood glued to the blade and then the handles were reattached. On my computer monitor, Boll's blade is the normal...

Terminology is important. I explained the difference between hearing, proprioception and cutaneous mechanoreceptors clearly in my posts. We hear the ball hit the blade. We also feel it with our hands. We also know where our hands and arms are (from vision and proprioception) and how much...

Yes. German forum is correct. This is the blade I am using at the moment (after almost a decade of playing with Butterfly Viscaria). It is an ALC blade, very similar to Butterfly ALC blades. I switched to it from Viscaria because I discovered almost by accident that I play well with ST...

Sound is constructed for us by detecting vibrations in our inner ear using cells (with cilia that can vibrate at very high frequencies). During hearing (audition) we are detecting vibrations caused by sound waves moving through the air. By contrast, we detect vibrations in the blade itself...

Here is the thread that references sound in golf. The commenter Iacas was arguing that feel in table tennis is mostly sound. He was basing it on the article you just mentioned. http://ooakforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=27131&p=288532&hilit=+Dwell+time+golf#p288532 It is a pretty extreme view...

I'll try. Not sure which thread. It was a bit of a flame war. Guy who posted it was a golfer new to TT. I think now he may be right about some of what he was saying. I didn't think so at the time. I'm curious now what I wrote then.

Yes. Somebody else once mentioned that article in a thread at OOAK Forum-- on dwell time. Probably 2 years ago? I didn't think at the time it could apply to TT. Now i think differently. That is the basis for something I wrote earlier on this thread about how we use all kinds of senses in...

I get though three paragraphs of Carl's last post and it made sense to me up to that point. I imagine the rest does too. If some body actually reads the whole thing let me know if it's all good. Ok. We can feel a lot and it helps train us.

The distinction between detection time and response time is important one. Bobpuls is right. However, a 1 ms stimulus is too short to detect with cutaneous mechanreceptors, even as a ping. For example, the fastest ones can detect a vibrating stimulus of 100 Hz, which falls off dramatically if...

In Houston there is a huge Vietnamese community. I would rcognize that accent anywhere. And of course his name. So if he lives in France it is even more bizarre the way he caricatures "western" coaching.

Sometimes these sorts of threads end up not so harmless and at first the innocence of the question wasnt obvious to me ( once I realized he wasn't talking about actual balls). They perpetuate stereotypes, especially when he used a term like Asian instead of Chinese. . But this thread is going ok.
