  1. 2020 World Team Table Tennis Championships

    3 to 6 times harder now for WTTC Busan? http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200706000260
  2. Equipment reviews and choice of equipment

    Golf has the advantage of a stationary player swinging at a stationary ball aiming at a stationary hole. Players start out from a maximum field of play, which slowly shrinks with "checkpoints" as they work towards the end. Each club has a clear function. Racket sports have a different...
  3. All-wood, ALC, ZLF, or ZLC? Putting Ball Sense to the Test

    Yuuji: Ball sense? Let's put that to the test! All-wood, ALC, ZLF and ZLC. Takukichi: No-brainer! Arie: Easy as pie! Takukichi: Will you take part in this experiment? Yuuji: Of course! I'll shuffle them here. I can't tell what is what now. Let's get started! Takukichi: Weighs like...
  4. New Butterfly Rubber Aibis

    Weight is consistent with those reported on Tieba. Strong spin, high throw, short arc, good bite, stable short game...typical of tacky rubbers. One interesting point raised by Abe(the one with glasses) is that it doesn't feel hard despite being 50 degrees, and that it was easy to use and so...
  5. New Butterfly Rubber Aibis

    https://tieba.baidu.com/p/6788927359 FH review aibiss, blade initial U Viscaria Golden Aibiss is actually not difficult to play. If you are used to Hurricane, then you must spend more time to adapt/experience to reach a conclusion. Initial feeling is that it's easy to use and moderate in...
  6. New Butterfly Rubber Aibis

    https://tieba.baidu.com/p/6787705520 I've tried Aibiss. In one phrase, not that good. Paired with Yinhe Pro-01(outer ALC). For comparison on BH, H3 and Dipper 3[?] w/ VOC glue. Tackiness so-so, hardness enough, power mediocre, Xiom Oza's level at best(or not even there). But given this...
  7. Why are there restrictions for pips out rubbers?

    "Table Tennis Rubber: Tribological Characterization" by M. Varenberg and A. Varenberg
  8. Why are there restrictions for pips out rubbers?

    By that logic, inverted rubber is still bound by the racket standardization first implemented in 1959. 4mm sandwich rubbers actually came before the loop stroke was invented!

  11. Liu Guoliang chairman of World Table Tennis

    For ITTF, Sharara created the position of chair and assigned himself that role in 2014, above the president, which was going to be Weikert. Later on, Sharara pulled the same trick with the role of honorary president. Long story short, those roles have since been abolished/removed/suspended...
  12. Greetings from open sea

    So the meme is true. "So you play table tennis?"
  13. Liu Guoliang chairman of World Table Tennis

    This is exactly what CNT has been hoping for. COI is all about personal gain while playing dumb(looking at Sharara). CNT is bigger than that. The folks want a bigger say here. They want to lead not just the medal table, but also the world of table tennis. It just won't happen under the...
  14. Xiom rubber specifications

    Sorry to butt in. I suppose we agree the market doesn't lie? For 2019, Butterfly absolutely destroyed ESN. Nearly 5 times in profit. It didn't happen overnight. Xiom didn't stop bleeding in Europe for several years until 2018. 2019 wasn't exactly great. The only market they could top...
  15. Xiom rubber specifications

    Calderano caused quite a stir back in 2018 when he beat Boll, Harimoto and LGY in succession at the Qatar Open. He already caught people's attention in Czech Open 2017 after beating LYJ 4-3 and only losing 3-4 to Harimoto. People in China flooded Tieba with threads asking what equipment he...
  16. Liu Guoliang chairman of World Table Tennis

    I guess it's safe to say the ITTF is now owned by China. https://www.sportbusiness.com/news/chinese-table-tennis-president-appointed-to-lead-wtt-council/
  17. Xiom rubber specifications

    Did he beat any "world top 5 opponents" with Xiom equipment? Pics, please. That's the point raised by darkmoor. FYI, the top 5: 1-5/2018 FZD, Ovtcharov, Boll, XX, LGY 6/2018 FZD, ML, Ovtcharov, Boll, LGY 7-11/2018 FZD, XX, Boll, LGY, Ovtcharov 12/2018-4/2019 FZD, XX, LGY, Harimoto, Boll...
