  1. What made you stick with Table Tennis?

    I'm in Canada on holiday at the moment and haven't had the chance to play since back at home and my body is aching to play. What has me hooked on table tennis is the ability to manipulate the ball through spin for sure.. I don't know why, it just brings in another dimension that's so cool and...
  2. What music would you choose if...

    I'd probably go with something different for each time haha.. but for now this:
  3. What is your second passion?

    Glad you like Dan :) and F2 are more regarded as entertainers and arent really involved in the community, they don't even enter competitions because they know they'd get knocked out instantly. They're great at what they do though entertainment wise and at football skilly stuff but it's quite...
  4. What is your second passion?

    I do a bit of an underground sport known as freestyle football/soccer.. been doing it less and less though as table tennis has taken up more and more of my time.
  5. World Tour Grand Finals 2015

    Wow, on the edge of my seat.. absolutely amazing performance from both players.. what a match! Congrats to Ma Long.
  6. Help me saving a relic (blade)

    Do you really want to play with it again? If I were you I'd keep it as a memory somewhere and not take the risk of damaging it. Of course you can do as you please, if it's really important to you to play with it again then you should go for it.
  7. Acoustic

    5 out of 5 rating for Acoustic Nittaku acoustic is an allwood blade composed of limba, limba, tung-tree, limba, limba the limba ply being a soft ply makes the blade soft with great feeling. There is some variation in weight, mine is 91g which is a nice balanced weight to me. The amount of...
  8. My pendulum and reverse pendulum serve variations akin to Zhang jike!

    I understand, I don't mind the angle at the moment, it just might be interesting to some people if you're considering making tutorials :) I'm soon going away for 3 weeks but I'll see if I can put something together before then! It'd be a very good learning experience. Hopefully get some good...
  9. My pendulum and reverse pendulum serve variations akin to Zhang jike!

    Looking pretty good, would be good to get some different camera angles in there too, like from the side so people can see your motion more clearly, for learning at least :) Considering making some serve vids myself as it'd be good to see myself and see what I can improve and I love serving.. for...
  10. Acoustic

    Review by 'Richie' on item 'Acoustic'

    Nittaku acoustic is an allwood blade composed of limba, limba, tung-tree, limba, limba the limba ply being a soft ply makes the blade soft with great feeling. There is some variation in weight, mine is 91g which is a nice balanced weight to me. The amount of vibration is great for me as a...
  11. Why are Evolution rubbers still less popular than tenergy?

    Probably because of marketing and many top players use it so it's an attractive product. I use tenergy myself but next time I will try the MX-p rubber and if I like it I'll probably stick to it as it's cheaper. Maybe over time the evolution rubbers will become more popular often these changes...
  12. Looking for a new faster blade

    So I couldn't wait any more and got my acoustic almost a week ago, the woman who owned the acoustic that I tried had donic baracuda (max) on the backhand and was selling a brand new one for only £10 and I thought well it's so cheap if I don't like it I'll get something else. Was a bit worried...
  13. Looking for a new faster blade

    Unfortunately the woman with the blade didn't turn up today as I was hoping to try it out a bit more before commenting. So from memory of a bit over a week ago.. I felt like it vibrated less than the allround at least which felt good to me. At the moment I felt like it had good feeling, tried...
  14. Chinese Twitter - Weibo

    That's his left hand though :P
  15. "Dating Issues" Interview of the 90's TT players of the Chinese National Team

    I think you're right that people thinking "the lighter the skintone the better the person" is rubbish and silly.. but keep in mind that that is probably not what she meant and you're taking it the wrong way. It seems to be what she is attracted to which is completely subjective, just like quite...
  16. 12 Year Old Sensation Tomokazu Harimoto Interview!

    Looks pretty normal to me, lots of 12 year olds look similar or even more developed. What would you suspect he'd be taking?
  17. Looking for a new faster blade

    Yes I saw your suggestion which is also why I posted about it, just wondered if there was anything more to be said about it other than being recommended :P. Like, what are the differences between that and allround or offensive classic, but I guess I can feel that myself if I try it out more...
  18. Rallies Getting Better With The New Ball!

    I could be mistaken but I was doing some drills with some of the juniors who are a part of the talent development centre in my city and they were using orange balls, I think they were using the new balls. Next time I'm there I'm going to have to take a picture!
  19. Looking for a new faster blade

    Sorry to bring this up again but a japanese woman at my club had the Nittaku Acoustic which I got to play with for a bit and it felt really good. I will try it more either this sunday or the following sunday. Does anyone have any comments on it? Read a fair amount of reviews too. She also gave...
  20. Rallies Getting Better With The New Ball!

    I agree, as with anything when you're faced with change I was sceptical and didn't like how the new ball was different. But now that I'm used to it I feel like I wouldn't want to go back. Maybe it's just me but I also feel like I have more control when serving and can get them shorter.
