  1. Why I Never Became a Pro Table Tennis Player

    Yes there’s definitely the survival instinct as really the pinnacle of it all, can I LIVE doing this or not. I definitely couldn’t, I had no national team support at all so I ended up covering all my event costs entirely. After spending thousands of dollars and getting nothing back it was pretty...
  2. Why I Never Became a Pro Table Tennis Player

    Hi all, I spent the better part of 5 hours putting this together until 3am this morning and it has resonated better than I expected for such a long video. I thought given the types of responses it may very well be helpful to some people in this forum who have been grinding away at the sport for...
  3. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    Demmit, will get that fixed asap
  4. Euro Mini Champs-2026 (28–30 August 2026)

    Did not have a kiwi winning Euro minis on my bingo card, great win for Lucas! 🇳🇿
  5. Calderano and his new equipment

    Why am I not surprised 😂
  6. Calderano and his new equipment

    An AI would cite more reliable sources and also present different opinions before drawing a conclusion 🤭
  7. Calderano and his new equipment

    Are you aware that Liam and Kenji both have their own JOOLA blades? I think you spend enough time online to know this as an objective fact, Zeio, so I won't cite any evidence if that's ok. Is it then also curious to you that Pitchford on JOOLA Japan is shown as using the Zhou Qihao blade, and...
  8. Calderano and his new equipment

    You're literally hunting for ghosts Zeio. What's your endgame here? Citing subjective commentary and opinions online as your evidence again underscores my point. You will believe and present anything that fits your narrative, and then bend it to suit your case, and if presented with objective...
  9. What happened to Joola Tronix rubbers?

    Europe are sampling some new rubbers to replace, it will depend what the feedback from Asia is on those as to whether they want to keep or change. It’s a very popular rubber series in Korea so I imagine they may want to continue with Tronix regardless
  10. Calderano and his new equipment

    Also Zeio it’s all very well to quote a post from January to prove a point today and seemingly discredit me, but believe it or not things can change over time. I hope you are enjoying yourself 🤪
  11. Calderano and his new equipment

    At that point everything felt not right for him. It’s hard to explain and it’s probably not my place to go into detail more. He went back to all wood because he needed to re-ground himself and find some reliability in his game I guess.
  12. Calderano and his new equipment

    Hugo is free to use whichever blade he chooses, we produced the ARY-x for a reason and if that’s ultimately what he decides to use then he will. The supplier sent all of his blades with a green and yellow handle because that’s what he liked initially, I have asked them whenever they send blades...
  13. Calderano and his new equipment

    This is correct. Him starting to try carbon fiber at the end of 2025 even before he came to Joola seemed to rock the boat a bit on the blade front. He ended up having to ground himself by going back to all wood and building back up from that stability again. That process alone lasted 4-5 months.
  14. China Training Vlogs

    Uploaded a short video from some practice and a match with an 11 year old long pips modern defender from Hangzhou, China :)
  15. Starting a club on a budget - Which table would you rather play on?

    If you want a good deal on tournament used world cup 25-s tables from Joola I can help get you a quote. They are 25mm ittf approved
  16. Table Tennis even has decent setups in some apartment complexes in China

    On my last trip to China I experienced something 'new' to me, a look inside the world of 'residential table tennis'. A lot of people think in China that residences are not so popular for table tennis since apartment spaces are usually small and people don't have much individual space. You can...
  17. Joola Liam Pitchford Z vs Kenji Matudaira Z

    I have some heading to the US currently, hoping we may be able to launch in early October, we will see how the timing looks for everywhere else
  18. Classic Matches

    I remember my coach making me watch tapes (literal vcr tapes) of Schlager vs Joo right after that final when I was 13 😹
  19. A better forum via better moderation

    This is ridiculous. We have enough politics ruining table tennis already, now the forum is seemingly rife with it as well. How about we all get back to talking about table tennis and leave our egos at the door. This is a back and forth that could last for the life of the forum if the stone...
