They look so elegant they somehow remind me of the Exclusive (now a steal at 599SEK at https://www.ttex.se/sv/stommar/6777-stiga-bordtennisstomme-exclusive-off.html). :-)

I clicked that link once, which led me to a webpage that started loading an application which in turn started loading tons of stuff. After a while, I got tired and bored with these 2.0 web shenanigans. And am now swamped by loads of mail messages conveying only that stuff's been happening on...

I have an old bat (30+ years) with Sriver on it. It was stored in a foam-padded case — which is now red where once that Sriver lay. Some pigment leaving the rubber doesn't seem that strange to me.

I own (but am not playing with) a V1.3, a seriously great blade, and one I’d have proposed for this small and fading in the rear view mirror category. In feel, in subtlety, and with sovereign power when called upon. How so this one?

Ooh baby. Yes.

But do they remain hot? That is the question. I vote yes for Persson.

Table Tennis Girls hehe.. So we’ve now arrived at reducing female athletes to hot-or-not items decided over by group polls? Sad. A hottie I may or may not be, but I’d hope game skills, smarts & prowess would count over such stuff as masturbatory T&A fantasies are made of.

Once upon a time you'd be hard pressed to find a better training venue than Falkenberg, Halland. It's probably still a veritable table tennis stronghold, check out http://idrottonline.se/FalkenbergsBTK-Bordtennis/Lager/InternationalTrainingCenter

Oooh, would love to see les footages.

Very nice. As I’m exploring training and competition registration options, I’m running into a dense forest of options. A single camera (smartphone, even) can be used to stream. However, I’d like multiple video inputs, and separate audio. Ideally, 4 cameras to cover the full court from all...

Nature abhors a vacuum. Bubbles are encapsulated air pockets. And typically quite round.

I'm a huge fan of Gewo's Nanoflex FT48 (which isn't soft), and have tried FT40 (which is soft). The FT48 to me is exceptional in its balance, it give me a wide range of options - direct hits, spinning, the short game, changing the pace and rhytm of an exchange. Definitely one step beyond the...

For BH loops: Butterfly Super Anti. Immensely deceptive, many gears. For FH smashes: Stiga Liner. Very spin-insensitive, extreme hardness offers boundless speed. For FH loops: The Michelin Pilos A/S+ offers unparallelled grip, and high stability. Pushes and chops: With Bosch SB3R080 and...

I've played with a blade in that family for a long time. These Chinese blades I could compare on paper only, but a number of TB ALC-like blades were and after trying the feel of these (4 BTY blades, 1 Donic, 1 Andro) I settled upon the Andro Treiber K at the time. Flared. Mostly because of...

I believe DA blades' Dimitri will add a thin band of veneer around the edge of the blade for that purpose, at least on those with softer/more brittle core woods. My Kiri-cored V1 has it; a nice touch.

Clipper. Stick with Vega Pro, consider it for FH also, maybe a bit thicker-sponged - i.e. Max/2.0 FH/BH or 2.0/1.8. Then see what it does for you after a few months of play.

Nightmare? Why? A player is a player is a player. Nation schmation.

Mmmm, that a harsh verdict indeed. But BobP, could you explain what a cross bound ply is, and what it's for?

Tantalising. With that second layer of balsa, that like it's going to be a rather soft, but quite thick blade? What do you expect to get out of it, what's it for? Modern defender's walhallah?

Yes, yes. When you start looking back sentimentally on the days you got out of bed without pain and fatigue, energetic even after a day of stiff excercise, that’s when you know you’re no longer young. It might be your back, knees, hips, shoulder, ankles, or all of these. Or just generally...
