Is the OP Jewish?

Perhaps it would help to view it with the Chinese mentality here. The objective is to rendezvous in the final. The missions for WCQ and ML were accomplished yesterday. The final is just icing on the cake. The past few WTT events are the start. WTTC 2023 is the checkpoint. Paris 2024 is...

Last reply. I'll cut to the chase. Contact velocity is just one of many factors that affect spin. Tennis Warehouse has recently published 3 articles on pickleball paddle (see below). The 2nd one happens to compare a pickleball paddle as-is with one that has a cheap table tennis topsheet-only...

"Linear speed of the racket = rotational frequency of the ball" has been a problematic assumption that somehow gets repeated without reservation as it ignores the effects due to moment of inertia (swingweight), which affects the kinetic/elastic (potential) energy, among others. Experimental...

The Pro A and Pro B sound exactly like how 甲A/Jia A and 甲B/Jia B are in China a few years ago, where many foreign pros from East Asia (such as Ito in late 2017 who couldn't get a contract in the CTTSL, unlike Hirano) and Europe participated. Those were not necessarily weaker in level than the...

That reminds me of Gatien's comment in 2012 about the European table tennis system needing to change. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/2019s-winner.19974/post-255949 https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/germany-in-decline-rosskopf-working-to-revert-it.21060/

A Lebrun: Retire, Boll and the other "uncles"!

H3 and H3 Neo used to have different topsheets. The topsheet base thickness and pips dimension were different. The sponge was different as well, despite having the same model number #20/#22. The last time I saw the original H3 was around 2012/2013. Other than missing that layer of primer...

Butterfly has actually published experimental data for Bryce Speed, Bryce and Sriver. http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=79533&PID=986317&title=expressing-relative-blade-speed#986317

The stereotype is strong with this thread. Do you consider Han Ying German? She uses H3 on the FH. I wonder how many non-European players, more specifically East Asian players, does the OP watch? So many Japanese and North/South Korean players use DHS it is difficult to keep track of.

Germany's delegation: And that's one reason I'm worried about ESN.

Female equivalent, with toss height being the only difference.

As to why the USA does not produce table tennis equipment, a better question may be "why does the USA produce pickleball equipment?" If a table tennis blade is "low-cost stuff", then a pickleball paddle would be a piece of toy that can cost just as much...

Saturated, maybe. But low margin, definitely not. Yonex is Butterfly of badminton. It has 10 times the annual sales of Butterfly but makes just as much in profit. Table tennis equipment CAN BE a highly profitable business.

Another "serious" review of Glayzer 09C at 2.1mm instead of 1.9mm in the previous review. Jun-chan (in panda shirt) got the illusion that Glayzer 09C played better, but after side-by-side comparison, thinks that Ransanter C48 plays better. Yanma (in orange shirt) disagrees that it was illusion...

3+2 was the norm back in 38mm era.

Goblins TV just posted a "serious" review of Glayzer at 2.1 mm, saying the one they tested was a sample at 1.9 mm. They conclude that the two thicknesses are totally different, with Glayzer easily outperforming Rozena.

The same idea applies to DHS. Hurricane is the industry standard in tacky rubber. What's so special about it, despite being decades old now? One aspect of H3 that is often overlooked in the West is the keyword "贼". The closest English equivalent I can think of is tricky, or 癖/quirky as...

Oh, you've been "conditioned" by ESN. That line of thought is what the Tensor brands, especially the German ones, want to sell you to drive sales. Not with Butterfly. Tenergy and Dignics are the industry standard in grippy rubber, like it or not. Tenergy is the previous flagship. Dignics is...
