  1. Help returning player choose equipment

    I can only compare H301 with Butterfly ZJK ALC (which is slightly faster than Viscaria). H301 has the ALC layers below the top two plies. The top ply is koto. At low to medium impact it feels like a fast 5-ply such as Rosewood. At high impact the ALC kicks in and it can go as fast as a bullet...
  2. Help returning player choose equipment

    Hands down H301. Has great touch yet can go extremely fast. Very good value for money for an inner ALC blade. 729 Battle 2 is similar to Neo H3 but with more control. Passionate about TT
  3. Gewo / Hype EL Pro 40,42.5,47.5 ...

    I have been playing Gewo Hype EL 40. Despite its 40 degree hardness it's actually quite fast on my Primorac (5 ply all wood). It's comparable to MXS that I used on the same blade before. EL40 has more spin than MXS and has lower arc. Gewo is such an underated brand. Their rubber such as Hype...

    If you don't care about their opinions, don't even bother. If you do care, show them how professional TT players train and ask yoir friends to do the same. Let's see how long they can last. Passionate about TT
  9. Your spouse disliking you playing table tennis

    True. I get back home by 7am to help out. She sometimes do mention I am too obsessed such as watching TT games, playing club competition, training in the morning and training at home sometimes. :) Passionate about TT

    My kids are 4 and 2. If I can take my kids with me my wife can rest at home. But not quite practical now as they sleep early. Passionate about TT
  11. Your spouse disliking you playing table tennis

    My older one is four too. I sometimes hesitate if I should take her to the local club. Maybe I will try in summer when the sky won't get dark until 9pm. Passionate about TT
  12. Your spouse disliking you playing table tennis

    I am not sure if it is just me. I plays table tennis only once a week because I have two young kids. I train at 6am about 3-5 times a week. My wife has problem with me going to the local table tennis club weekly. Sometimes she would make up something so I can't go. If I only go once every 2-3...

    Unless Xue Fei shows some significant growth in the next few years, he is not going to become the next No1 in China. His style is too rigid - BH banana flick to open followed by BH 70% of the time. He also hardly change placement. Passionate about TT
  14. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    I disagree sorry. Xue Fei uses his BH most of the time. His RPB is probably on par with, if not better than Wang Hao. He lost points with his FH and midpoint. His FH is nowhere close to the level of legendary penholder like RSM, ML or LGL. Passionate about TT
  15. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    That could be true. Harimoto beats FZD, ML and ZJK not by power, but by his fast rhythm and placement. PH BH push can do the same. Passionate about TT

  17. New announcement from T2 to "change the game"

    Slightly larger table and slightly higher net. Introduce 38mm ball at the same time. The larger table and higher netwill increase the chance of long rally. The 38mm ball will bring back the former glorious table tennis - fast and spinny rally. Passionate about TT
  18. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    I have been using RPB on my Jpen the whole time. It took me a while to completely ditch TPB. I slap a Vega Pro on my JPen's backside. Man my RPB is like a cannon. Fast, low arc and not so sensitive to spin. In contrast, my FH always delivers extreme spin that pushes the ball down after bounce...
  19. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    I agree Cpen gives more spin. Jpen has less flex but longer trajectory. I experiment Skyline 2 on my Darker Speed 90 Jpen. Skyline 2 is probably the most spinny rubber ever invented on Earth. It's more apinny than H3. The result is very interesting and amazing. Skyline 2 has a very thick...
