  1. Lighter alternatives to MX-P

    When I used MX-S and MX-P and OVA Tenergy 05, I found that OVA and MX-S and MX-P in 1.9-2.0 approximated Tenergy 05 in 2.1 weight wise and that there was really nothing I lost unless I Was loopdriving 20 feet off the table. So I have stayed with 1.9mm for the hardest ESN sponges since then...
  2. difference between Carbon

    I know a guy who switched from a Grubba All+ to an HL5, he played USATT 2200 before the switch and he plays USATT 2200 now. So what is your point?
  3. Lighter alternatives to MX-P

    Ilia is a pretty strong man with a pretty strong backhand. I wouldn't mess with his backhand regardless. His loops are like other people's loop drives.
  4. Lighter alternatives to MX-P

    This is what I have always done with hard sponge heavy rubbers and it works fine.
  5. Save the Rainforest

    Your post is entirely inappropriate. What he is saying is entirely fair - if you talk the talk, then walk the walk. I am a hypocrite when it comes to EJing - I tell people to stay with one blade then I change blades like I am losing sleep. And if you are starting to live sustainably, good for...

    If that is your club, it is your club. It doesn't matter what the atmosphere is like. I sometimes play matches in my club at midnight too. If it is your club, which blade do you want? PM me your shipping address in a format that works for an international postage form :D.
  7. Topspin shots and swing timing

    Knowing about the details is largely a waste of time. You learn the details by practicing and adjusting to the ball based on racket angle, contact point and swing trajectory changes while reading the incoming spin. The main thing is to start your racket higher vs topspin, and start it lower vs...
  8. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I don't want a type of atmosphere - I just want a full match and something authentic - I have seen those single room clubs before and that is good enough if that is the club. IT's a competition - the 17th just means whoever gets closest by then gets the prizes. If that is a club match above...
  9. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    MichalZ, is that your club? I said club for a reason as I want to see the atmosphere of the club. Takkyu, if that is not your club, and it is unlikely, you will win only if no one else presents club action.

  11. German League 2017/2018

    Same with the December 3 results. Thanks again for all your work - don't take the corrections as a sign of ingratitude and nitpicking. I would correct it myself if I could.
  12. German League 2017/2018

    Date should be December.
  13. BREAKING NEWS! Ma Long has just become a father!

    Unlikely to be a pro, his father's success will give him other opportunities in life.
  14. First Bat Advice please

    None of us linked to it so you did the right thing. IT's basically what TTTom and myself were trying to recommend. The problem is that "premade" conjures up the notion of bad blades and that is not what we meant.
  15. First Bat Advice please

    This is what I tried to recommend earlier. I think this is what is appropriate for someone who wants to learn table tennis but isn't paying for coaching.
  16. Timo Boll Hits Ridiculous Swap Hand Shot! T2 APAC FINAL!

    Haha... another fake leftie made to use his left hand as a junior....;)
  17. Save the Rainforest

    Man, you can't encourage them by buying the used kiso hinoki blade so that people are profiting off the evil deed of cutting the trees *twice*. Just stay of all kiso hinoki. On a more serious note, man, I love my hinoki.
  18. First Bat Advice please

    The thing is that Karis blocks almost like anti and you wonder how a rubber can spin when it blocks like that...
  19. First Bat Advice please

    The morning of this match, I decided after playing some pickup matches the night before to play with a Mazunov with Karis M both sides. My opponent talked about how solid my defense was. As you can see, the power never overwhelms and nothing is really fast, but the control is exquisite. You...
