  1. Tomokazu Harimoto leads 10-0 and then this happened!

    I also think he was aiming just off the table, so as not to make it too obvious. This would have been quite a risky angle, too. And of course the ball landed... In France at least it's a cultural thing, without it being mentioned. Playing as a junior I landed one of my fastest serves ever...
  2. New Equipment 2017

    I can't wait for the Ethiopian national team version of these shoes.
  3. Qatar Open 2017

    It shouldn't be avoided. This is an open tournament and whoever is playing at their best should be the only determining factor... I for one am glad the line-up is so stacked. Also, some of the doubles should be a blast!
  4. Let's talk about seamless plastic ball

    I do retract some of my new-found enthusiasm towards them. Feeling good for a couple of sessions doesn't mean all equipment (balls included) has become much better... Anyhow, whichever it is, I can't wait for the days when one technology has become the norm.
  5. Let's talk about seamless plastic ball

    They do charge as though that is the case..
  6. Let's talk about seamless plastic ball

    Joola Flash are the same as XSF, if I am not mistaken. I like them. Not the spinniest of all as mentioned previously, and a Butterfly ball felt very lively after making the switch during the same session. The bounce was maybe a notch lower with the Bty, but it's not clear in my mind as arcs on...
  7. Tibhar Blades Collection and Reviews

    I can relate to this. Not that I was given any advice, but I got mine as part of "cancelled order" bat, at less than half market value... My little finger is telling me these were made to order all the same, as a way to just get rid of the blades. I can't complain though, there's nothing it...
  8. Tibhar Blades Collection and Reviews

    Furious is quite good, especially considering it can be found at half price in a few places (assuming that's still the case) alongside Curious. I guess they never caught on, the names and lack of innovation perhaps not helping.
  9. Europe Top 16 - 2017

    Blimey, I haven't seen the final yet but the match against Gauzy was intense.
  10. Europe Top 16 - 2017

    Lebesson coming back from 9-6 in the fifth against Samsanov... Incidently, the European champion is listed as"Other" in the poll? :eek: Interesting to see how he'll fare in a tough group, also clearly having the public behind him. Edit: scratch that, Kou Lei gave him no mercy (11-8 11-9 11-3).

  12. Favourite Table Tennis Player

    Following suds79 's definition, and loosely what Shuki just said, it' d be Stéphane Ouaiche for me. Nothing beats stepping back and blasting / slicing / weird side-spinning fast incoming shots back, in terms of how it feels... Also rushing back to the net for a winner, tennis style. Still...
  13. Homemade table tennis blade

    Ok, thanks. Nice hobby that you have, all the best.
  14. Homemade table tennis blade

    Nice. One thing I am wondering: with wood such as bubinga (which really is quite beautiful), do you get an even bounce on the whole surface, given the striation (best word I could find) of the wood?
  15. Peter Korbel Chiquita story

    Nice read, thanks.
  16. First EJ delivery of 2017!!

    I'm fancying one of these, too. Not for now, and I don't do multi-blades, but still; beautiful things. Looking forward to your review but there's no rush, I think Carl has mentioned a break-in period and that's something I'm experiencing on a Tibhar 7-ply, even after a few months. Pretty sure...
  17. information about stiga CC7 blade nct

    Any chance you're trying to get that 38mm ball feeling back? Just wondering, the way you are looking for an extreme setup after such a long break. CC7 + Tenergy might work for you of course, but if it doesn't, it's something you might want to consider.
  18. Looping with thinner sponges

    Hi, I can't speak for chinese rubbers but you'll definitely be able to loop with thinner rubbers. I actually think it's a good move to make in general, up to a certain level. Not long ago, being away from where I live, I unexpectedly took part in a small tournament and had to borrow a...

    I'll make this my first post on this website, this is fantastic, thanks!
