  1. US Open Table Tennis Championships-2025 (16–21 December 2025)

    The question is whether the sandbagging in the adult events dissuade more entries than it encourages. Jury still out on that one as USATT wants the entry fees. But if possible, with thr limitations of scheduling, the idea of defaulting a player from lower events after their highest event win...
  2. Chinese Super League 2025

    Trust the proverbial basement to have been real at some point... though exaggeration is not impossible....
  3. Chinese Super League 2025

    Why did WMY sit this out????
  4. Chinese Super League 2025

    Without Xu Xin and Fan Zhendong, this match is a farce. The final will likely be similar.
  5. Chinese Super League 2025

    Wang Manyu, Chen XingTong and Qian Tianyi vs Kuai Man, Miu Hirano and Qin Yuxuan. One team looks clearly better but the matches still have to be played.
  6. Chinese Super League 2025

    Well it worked against Kuai Man if that is the case. Kuai Man had 6-1, 8-4 ans 9-5 in game 4 up 2-1. And still managed somehow to bottle it (not complete the job). Almost replicated the loss of lead against He Zhuoja as well. I wonder whrrher Hirano bribed her to get the opportunity to close...

    No one is laughing now...
  8. Chinese Super League 2025

    What happened to Kuai Man in the first singles match?
  9. Chinese Super League 2025

    She was clearly injured at the last WTT event in Hong Kong. Her injury was also clearly more severe than whatever kept Wang out of the semifinal.
  10. Butterfly Zyre 03

    That you could write that Luka has better feeling than DO...even with the emoticons you still could type it.
  11. Butterfly Zyre 03

    The problem is that Luka has also switched to Zyre. So whose result advertises the rubber more?
  12. Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🤶

    Merry Christmas! Posting from the motherland of Quadri Aruna!
  13. Butterfly Zyre 03

    Dima just lost 0-3 to Luka in TTBL. Is this an ad for or against Zyre?
  14. Fan Zhendong is joining 1. FC Saarbrücken next season

    He needs to play a peer using the current setup on non-Tibhar tables (preferably DHS) for a fair evaluation.
  15. Explain this TT rubber schizophrenia to me

    People get the point of boosting wrong. Boosting is not about "softness". Boosting is about "compression". Boosting introduces properties that make the sponge easier to compress which might make it feel softer, but that is not the point so much as that elastic behavior (related to...
  16. Let's talk about Backhand...

    The two approaches have merit but as you get more advanced, you will find that the Chinese are not just trying to confuse you woth thr 18 techniques. You don't learn them all on day 1 and the way you use your body to approach most of them and the spins you apply them to are different. After a...
  17. How does Xiom J&H C55 compare to Dignics 09c?

    D09c is for me a complete rubber even when you hit the ball improperly. You can get quality spin on imperfect contacts at all ranges of effort. I find for C55, I did okay when topspin driving but not as much when generating heavy topspin with thin brush. So I feel D09c is much better for...
  18. Let's talk about Backhand...

    First of all I dont speak Chinese but this is what I have heard and I can be corrected. IMHO, the Chinese are usually the best at such things with respect to technical detail, where in English we have this generic term of backhand topspin which is applied to all backhand strokes, just about...
  19. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    The Korbel.with D09c is interesting. The problem with D09c in general as a rubber is what happens when you don't have time. I can't believe a Korbel.helps this problem. Yhat said you are doing the most important thing and hitting a lot of forehands with your conceptual technique with a...
  20. Fan Zhendong is joining 1. FC Saarbrücken next season

    Yeah but the point is that where the edge tape is placed shows a formal decision to play red on the forehand, not just the same kind of decision‐making that just flipping the racket would imply.
