It is the 20 year anniversary of the service rule change.So why the hell are there so many cheats in table tennis at all levels who still shield the ball?Why do so many umpires turn a blind eye?It is PATHETIC and DISGUSTINGThis thread needs reviving IMO!What do others think about this blatant...

this is a great idea, we could go back to the days of number 2 in the world not returning number 1s serve as it is shielded and too impossible to read. Super idea

GREAT POST!! Nail Hit On The Head, it is also very difficult to judge from the chair, it has to be said!

you don't need the third umpire, if umpire is in any doubt they should warn them fault player, but too much is let go in my experience 90% OF TOP PLAYERS SHIELD, OR HIDE CONATCT OR DONT THROW THE BALL CORRECTLY It is disgusting, our sport is one of the most disgusting sports for this last...

Not had chance to try it yet. I just need a bit more feeling than the Ma Lin Carbon and I always used wood before. I was silly selling my original V+, from memory it was a lovely blade. With the old ball I really liked my Force Pro Blue, but it is just too slow with the new 40+ ABS balls and I...

I tried an OSP V+ in 2019, but i got rid off it in a silly impulsive reaction to some bad results at a tournament. The problem was actually that I was using max rubber when I am better with 1.9mm. It was also using older balls like Joola Flash and Xuashaofa (which IMO are faster). From memory it...

Tibhar Force Pro Brand new unused flair £45

So after trying quite a few different blade and rubbers. In desperation I returned to a blade I used 4 years ago. It has reasonable control, reasonable speed. Spin is pretty accessible. Serves and tight game decent. It also seems ok with medium pips. Stiga Infinity with 1.9 Tenergy 05fx and...

I used to prefer Orange balls, most venues have bad lighting or white walls. It is pathetic to play with white balls at most venues. Therefore what are the best Orange balls we can buy these days? In terms of spin and speed? I used to love the old nittaku celluloid orange balls.

Lula you need to try the thicker ones for them to be stiff, I have used a TSP balsa 3.5 and that is so thin it is pretty flexy. I would recommend the 6.5 or even 8.5 in your case. They certainly can be spinny as this is technique, but they are not going to flex like a classic 5 ply wood or 6mm...

the carbon balsa blades are very non linear, they are very soft on soft touch shots and get very fast on big hits etc. well this is the thick 6.6 or 7.5 mm types. they tend to be a bit flatter and not so good for topspin, but not impossible. they are generally light though and nimble the TSP...

The G1 was a lot better than I expected in all ways. Sometimes it seemed a bit harder and bouncy, generally on faster no spin type shots incoming. But I was very surprised how well I served with it (low especially), It seemed like I was getting a lot of topspin too, when I correctly looped. I...

Takkyu_ga_suki No I really would throw my bat at him! 😁

So Avalox P700 actually seemed quite flexy and a bit wishy washy. Actually seemed a bit slow. I have acquired a Korbel SK7 and A Xiom Solo, both of which I have tried before. The following is based on 1 practice with a lp bh guy I have played for 25+ years, we are of a similar standard. My...

Today I managed to try Fastarc G1, I am thinking of moving away from Tenergy 05fx for various reasons. Anyway I think I hack serves not brush them in general. My serves are not great. Today I hacked my serves with G1 and seemed to be getting more spin and variation than with my usual 05fx...

If I ever lose to someone wearing trousers, I will throw my bat at that player and never play again. How rude!!

Yes fair enough, its worth considering though, sometimes even strong players in sports go back to basics to correct a technique as I am sure you would know as a coach yourself. I would get coach to look at you shoulder and wrist then. A lot of good players have too much movement in upper arm...

If you can not push, but more so drive and block with backhand, I have a theory you should not be trying to bh loop. IMO BH loop is technically the most advanced and hardest shot for most players, although some players naturally seem stronger on BH. Unless you can play 100 bh in a row without...

I ordered some G1 in the end today, might as well try a big change if trying a change!

yes give them to a coach who can glue them on a bat for a beginner
