the extent to which you enjoy winning/get frustrated when losing(they are symptoms of the underlying cause) is a measure of your emotional feebleness. few ppl have the motivation to push through this emotional imbalance and continue practicing whatever it is that generates those feelings and...

ca. is an old swiss unit of measure. it stands for cyclical angle and it's a measure of how much grams the angle of the blade adds to the total weight of the paddle.

you are correct. the sponge used on t05 has tiny gas(it's co2 and n2 mostly, not air) pockets inside it, just like every other rubber foam used for any other sponge used on any other tt rubber sheet from any other manufacturer. also OP, changing equipment is a time tested way to hamper your...

also, a stricter dress code should be implemented!

i never got why ppl care so much about blades being "balanced". preferring lighter paddles over heavier ones is a head scratcher too. if you would ask an 8th grader that played some attention in physics class about if a lighter or heavier blade should work best in table tennis, he would respond...

assembling sandwich rubber used to be a thing back when ox pips was considered normal rubber(this is where ox=orthodox comes from). but to actually make foam rubber(sponge) and rubber topsheets yourself, just for a proof of concept you'll need to dish out at least $250k for tooling. that is...

figure out what component crapped out(probably motor or driver), find replacement on aliexpress or the like, replace it, continue using it. it'll probably be a $5-$15 fix.

people usually do most things because of habit or because they are told this is how it's done and don't spend time explaining to themselves. the recommendation waiting for most of the water evaporate from glue before gluing rubber to blade started out as a way for making the paddle get from...

tt bosters are petrochemical oils. the sponge of a tt rubber is foam rubber. booster work by getting absorbed in the foam rubber. this leads to sponge expansion which translates in that catapulty feel which we like. petrochemical oils evaporate over time and the sponge more or less reverts to...

b2x is has my favorite head and my most hated handle.

yes. less spin countering is more confusing for us plebs because the ball behaves opposite to our mental model that we've learned about how the ball should behave while playing inverted vs inverted. but ppl who opt to use long pips pay the price for it, it's a shit rubber with which you can't...

what? no. less friction correlates with less spin "reversal". the most important reason ppl play long pips is that they don't reverse spin. just forget about "reversal" since it seems to be confusing. let's replace it with countering. lp ox has basically no spin countering. lp sandwich has...

long pips doesn't reverse spin like inverted rubber does. because ox doesn't even have a sponge to dampen the spin. so for example, if you put a lot of underspin on the ball and long pips user pushes back, you get back pretty much the spin you put on the ball, but because the direction of...

for familiarizing yourself with how long pips work, ox for sure. ox can offer the least amount of spin reversal and thus the most long pipy feeling.

:) you'll have to do your own research to find out the formula. some of that "dirt/dust" you see coming off the tt rubber when using alcohol is actually rubber. while you can clean tt rubber with alcohol, you'll usually get less mileage out of the rubbers because you wear them out faster. some...

that product does what it's advertises to do. it's ingredients actually make sense. we have a very similar product which is(shameless plug) as good as this one(we are not ready for mass market yet and currently selling only locally). we couldn't find any other formula that works better than the...

big lottery wants an outlet to get rid of old machines confirmed!

it probably wasn't this guy

the booster effect wears off in time. if you didn't bubble your rubber, you're fine. you'll get to where you like it in 1-3 weeks.

sanwei 75 inner is a very good blade, like, very very good.
