  1. 🌎 🇩🇪 TTD Forum Meet Up in Düsseldorf - September 11th, 12th & 13th 🇩🇪 🌎

    His point is that say coming from America, if you book a flight to Duesseldorf, you might be taken to an airport in London first and wait etc. while you can fly into Frankfurt directly and take a train - the direct flights are more for Frankfurt from most parts of the US. The fligjht might even...
  2. Alternative to Dignics 09C

    Looping more, yes. And the sponge would still need to work fairly well and that is what majorly deteriorates with age.
  3. Alternative to Dignics 09C

    If you are 2200+ and play away from the table sure. Below that, not so sure...
  4. Alternative to Dignics 09C

    That's what fast blades are for... I tried it on a Viscaria SALC and was surprised - I am sure on a Mizutani ZLC or some SALC or SZLC blade it will be fine. Probably will block pretty well too. Obviously not the same top end power as D09c but that comes with all the usual caveats and such...
  5. 🌎 🇩🇪 TTD Forum Meet Up in Düsseldorf - September 11th, 12th & 13th 🇩🇪 🌎

    Thanks - what is the main airport to go into? Obviously, will find these things on Google, but just asking out of convenience...
  6. 🌎 🇩🇪 TTD Forum Meet Up in Düsseldorf - September 11th, 12th & 13th 🇩🇪 🌎

    Hope I am counted, will definitely do my best to make it, though it will not be easy. Excited about this, just need some formal literature on venue address so I can look at the logistics.
  7. 35th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2026, Haikou, 2/4-8

    He is fine as he has an unbeatable games advantage over Chen Junsong in any 3 way tie and can only realistically finish second if Lam beats Chen Junsong and will finish first if Chen Junsong beats Lam and Chen Junsong has to beat Lam 3-0 to qualify.
  8. 35th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2026, Haikou, 2/4-8

    You still have to be a good player to beat her.
  9. 35th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2026, Haikou, 2/4-8

    Still a team event, not just one player.
  10. 35th ITTF-ATTU Asian Cup 2026, Haikou, 2/4-8

    WCTis a bad man, his ranking always makes people underestimate the reality. Usually Harimoto handles him because of BH to BH but days like this are always possible.
  11. Alternative to Dignics 09C

    It's amazing how long these threads go on and no one ever mentions G09c... very underestimated rubber... the PR must be bad...
  12. Short review of Glayzer 09c

    Saw someone using this today on a Viscaria SALC. This is definitely a good rubber, Will consider trying to use it to save in the future.
  13. ITTF-Americas Cup San Francisco 2026 (28 January - 1 Ferbruary 2026)

    BTW does Jim Butler rag on Hugo's serves, which are the most one-dimensional in all of top level table tennis?
  14. ITTF-Americas Cup San Francisco 2026 (28 January - 1 Ferbruary 2026)

    You have to subtract their current continental events and net the difference. I know Lily was a semif finalist at one of them for example. But she was a finalist at this event last year so it will probably be nothing lost nothing gained for her. Amy will make a rise but I don't know what her...
  15. Generating power very far from my body on backhand

    Definitely much better. There might still be room for improvement, but that is always about whether the stroke is getting the job done.
  16. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Busy with a lot of stuff so going to be invariably occupied over the next month or two. But will check in every once in a while and help on those days with moderation. Hope everyone is well and enjoying their TT. Very likely to put my Zyre 03 experiments on the back burner and just stick to...
  17. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Well, tell that to Fang Bo, who emphasises that every loop has to start from below the table even vs topspin.
  18. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    He changed things, they were visible in the ball effect to the coach. They just didn't change to the extent that they were visible to the camera. In reality this is how many of us change even when a coach gives us extreme instructions. Once the ball shows up, the changes are fairly narrow but...
  19. Why amateur players should avoid fast gear and where power really comes from in table tennis.

    The main point here is that it is all about the perspective you are bringing to the problem, and that part of the problem is really people getting jealous of people using things they didn't want to pay for, but it gets reframed in terms of being smarter etc. While the joke of a Lexus being a...
