  1. Setup for limited mobility player?

    Sorry yes we often joke with pips because some say those are not "true rubbers", mostly the frustrated attackers with inverted boosted/tensor rubbers who can't play vs pips out or anti defenders. My advice was not a joke at all, I've trained many times with Stanislaw "Stachek" Styrna (RIP) who...
  2. Does rubber cleaners actually damage and shorten the life of rubbers??

    Tap water from a sink or mineral water in bottle isn't ... demineralized, in limestone areas this can really be a problem for rubbers as Tyce says, that Butterfly cleaner contains demineralized water for example https://en.butterfly.tt/rubber-cleaner.html
  3. Please advice TT shoes for slippery floors

    Yeah using a light mop with very few water does the job for a limited area, say around the table you use. But then you're limited to that table only, if you switch to another table during the session you'll have to do it again. Now for a 5 to 6 tables venue only, sure renting a pro scrubber...
  4. Carbon inner blades advice

    Agree with Lazer, if the Appelgreen WC89 isn't fast enough, you can then switch to Waldner Senso Ultra Carbon or Waldner OFF WC 89, those are basically like the Waldner Senso V2 on steroïds.
  5. Sanwei shoes - order issue

    THIS. Human errors and mistakes always happen once in a while in the good's consuming process. Thanks for having taken this logistics issue in consideration.
  6. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2024

    Still, germans need to be schooled by french and swedish fans to make more noise and provide better support for their local athletes. After Montpellier the atmosphere was quite disapointing really, I had to push down the volume on the streams 2 weeks ago, there it was not the case. The crowd...
  7. Moral Question Here…

    Why not ? It's not rugby nor taekwondo
  8. Fire Penhold Blade

    Yeah that's what I was thinking when I saw this, too much tension overhall. A regular Cpen is more neutral for fingers. Plus, are there both lefty and righty versions for this "weird" blade ?
  9. Setup for limited mobility player?

    Grandma Ni XiaLan, she doesn't move that much, she does not spin the ball, but damn she's closed to the table and she makes kids like Prithika suffer :devilish: :ROFLMAO: Seriously guys, those old "crabs" as we call them in France really make everyone suffer with ox LP. The side she's not...
  10. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2024

    Seriously, what "luck" has to do with that ? One day or another, when you are really strong enough, "luck" does not matter. The second time Darko had to play Felix, at home in Slovenia, was it bad luck ? no, he's been simply thrashed although in Muscat the year before he was thrashing Felix 3-0...
  11. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2024

    I once had someone who didn't care for the toss height, he went crazy, threatening me in front of the umpire in charge of the whole competition. He took a red card from the umpire. Since then I don't do any of those duties anymore, and stopped all competitions cos' it's mandatory to do it in...
  12. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2024

    Yeah you're right seriously it's bananas since a while now, nobody wants the enforce the rules when it comes to WCQ or LSD but the europeans just have to suffer for nothing serious in silence. Back in the "Golden Age" of table tennis with the "True GOAT" Waldner, Saive, Persson, Gatien...
  13. Commemorative rubber for Truls Moregard. Who next?

    Exactly, Stiga and Banda were separate brands, and some Banda products have been scattered between Stiga and Donic following the contracts Waldner and Persson signed with Donic. The Coppa made in Japan in the 90's went to Donic, following Jorgen Persson who was using it. The Waldner and...
  14. Butterfly Spin Refresh / Butterfly Rubber Refresh

    They've done this many times since decades, don't worry, it's the same foam, only the naming changes, sometimes the naming changes from one continent to another too.
  15. Sanwei shoes - order issue

    It happened to me when Reebok changed their sizing after Adidas sold them. Same with Nike mind you, they went from EU39/US6.5/CN245mm for the Metcon 8 to EU40/US7/CN245mm for the Metcon 9 shoes. Now it costs nothing to return them as there's a warehouse inside Europe for that matter, but still...
  16. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2024

    So what ? the european level at that time was quite low, with Alexis winning nothing at the international level, and Felix having an inferiority complex over his elder brother. The Top 16 is a competition european players don't take seriously, wrong calendar right after the holidays, I mean even...
  17. Please advice TT shoes for slippery floors

    Clean the whole floor more often? it seems to be dusty, even Gerflor dedicated TT floorings can be slippery when they're dusty. I'd suggest your local club's representative to rent this kind of machine before something serious happens to a player, like joint injuries (the worst ones !)...
  18. (Humour) New US rubbers

    Some say there are jews in there... oh you can stay here ! but I'll maintain the jews were a bit hostile towards the IIIrd Reich during WWII By the way , the way you wrote "alle" says a lot about your views about your national anthem my friend :eek: :ROFLMAO:
  19. Commemorative rubber for Truls Moregard. Who next?

    Felix or Ruwen, the first to jump in will get the copyright
  20. Commemorative rubber for Truls Moregard. Who next?

    You're obviously a young padawan, I've used the very first rubber named for Waldner after his Barcelona 92 win https://revspin.net/rubber/donic-jo-waldner.html Only Nittaku made them after ESN came in the business. (Mind you... I've also been using Banda Coppa rubbers in the 80's, it was the...
