  1. Doubles Serve Order and Choice of who serves first each game

    In local league, Your Game 2 is where the confusion usually stems from. Firstly, doubles are mostly played as the last match.

  2. How does Timo Boll win at his age?

  3. Best way to clean tt table?

    Only use a cleaner if there is some ingrained dirt or grease. In my experience all the cleaners take off a bit of paint when used. Best to simply use a dry towell and wipe away the dirt. If you want to use the table for a competition, use a light spray of water. Use distilled water for extra...

  7. World #90 Iba Diaw loses to Unranked Female Opponent, Calls Cheating!

    😂 A lot of things being said here. I have not watched the match. But it's not unusual for females to beat their contemporary male opponents. Reason; females tend to play a fast game close to the table. It's a style male players are not used to and get caught out all the time. It happens weekly...

    Very interesting that there's so much difference in the playing characteristics between the 38 to 40deg rubbers. But your review makes it sound as if you were always fighting to mitigate the main features of the rubber. What main characteristic made you persevere with it for a year?

  16. Is it possible to improve with only robot training?

    "However, the title of the thread states that you can improve only with a robot. Of course, you can improve, but not to the scale of either playing with other people or coaching" Careful, we are in agreement but most writers on here use the language imprecisely. The ones who do tend to be the...
  17. Is it possible to improve with only robot training?

    Sorry, but the negative replies here are not looking at the wider picture. What op is on about is solo training. This involves much use of the robot itself. But will also include serve practice, striking the ball after bouncing off the table, striking the ball from off the table, shadow...
  18. What's the most random point you have ever scored?

    Most occuring random point; Server serves but the ball strikes the edge on his side, then loops to about 1.5m above the net then lands on the edge of the receiver's side. I have done it, also had it done to me, and I have seen it in others' matches.
