  1. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    This weekend we played the 1st match of the season, in "divize" in our region, and we won, thankfully. Our opponent couldn't come with their strongest team though. I made 2 wins 1 loss. The team win is important, we need every win we can get. Also, today, we played the final of the Czech Cup...
  2. Thoughts on Vega X and Rakza XX

    I'm glueing Rakza XX right now, looking forward to test it on Tuesday... Writing a bit prematurely, as usual... Couple of notes to my previous rubbers. The Xiom Omega 7 Pro seems to me closer to Vega Pro than to Vega X. All rubbers very similar hardness, but the Vega X (which I tried recently...
  3. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    So this is my C55 after 5 weeks, cca 40 hours. Changing tomorrow back to Rxton 9 40,5. It is a very very good rubber, but the durability is not optimal for hOBby player ;-)
  4. My feel and thoughts on the balls since 2013

    There's been a thread about it recently, just in case...
  5. Vulnnerable Question: I'd really appreciate your help in answering this. What is the exact emotion/thing brought to you when reaching your TT goals?

    Yes, that's it for me too. I feel good when I know I play "right", which means good movement, good body work, resulting in good power, relaxed but not over-relaxed, focused but not over-thinking, feeling proper mechanics... Essentially I play for this feeling as a hobby player, and I can...
  6. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    Sorry, it's "Nittaku Hurricane 3 Pro Turbo Blue" (or some other permutation of words ;-), not sure which is official).
  7. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    When the season is over, try the NTH3PTB. Then every weight is good weight ;-)
  8. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    Regluing, so I get a chance to measure - the C55 weights 50g cut on my blade 159x150. I used 5g glue, the whole setup was 199g, the blade is 93,5g. The rubber is not reverse-domed.
  9. German League 2024-2025 Bundesliga Match between Fulda and Ochenhausen TTBL

    Is Dima's serve legal? EDIT: It seems he leaves the non-playing hand there as long as possible. I've seen that recently in other, Chinesse, players. Anyway, seems border-line to me. My vote: ban it, non-playing hand must go away immediately. Well, how to formulate it - I don't know.
  10. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    I have C55 and Omega 7 Pro on my blade right now, and they are night and day. Well, of course, it is my personal feeling, just as valid as yours, but I have to counteract yours, I owe it to the balance... ;-) Cheers. I better don't start on Rakza Z.
  11. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    If my calculation is right, your original C55 would be 6 weeks old by now, and this one looks new. Which means - you changed it - you like it So, when did you change it? Btw. my C55 looks pretty beaten up after cca 22 hours. Cheers.
  12. Why Table Tennis is such a pure, unique 1-of-1 sport

    Recently went to pub to have a beer after a training and watched a rugby match there... It occurred to me: the poor guys made rarely contact with the ball... They had to fight real hard to even touch it ;-) TT is the sport of the future, that is clear... It's just not happening around me, but...

    I'm not a specialist, but I can recommend fasting to you. I believe the mechanisms triggered by it (or enhanced many fold), like autophagy, stem-cells production, are real... We are not the youngest, we need to use this trick ;-) Limiting sugars I think is a really good advice. I mean...

    @Zwill, looking at you!!!

    I feel good... Chances raising for me...
  17. The philosopher’s stone of backhand rubbers

    Hi @arbatarmad, perhaps first state what you use now, and how is your impression of it, and why you want to change. Then some people here will be able to relate, and will gladly suggest alternatives...
  18. WTT Champions Macao 2024, 9/9-15

    But Tony, why would we expect the intentions of others here are primarily not good or innocent? Even you initially treated scrubplayer with respect, later benevolently, later less benevolently and so on ;-) I didn't see anything malicious in zeio's comment. If something, than it is respect...
  19. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    I'm where I am, and I just have fun playing. The percentile says what it says (cca 5-6 percentile), but honestly, when I look at the better players, and see what they do, how they do, how they move, anticipate, their precision, it feels like I'm not even close to the middle of the scale ;-)...
  20. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    You're right... I gave this a pause... But just returned from the training, enjoying beer... But anyway, giving it another pause... ;-) Cheers.
