  1. Something to cover under table tenis table

    There are a myriad of options. You don't have to design something similar to what's in the photo. Much of that is for show and a place to put advertisements. You can build some self standing barriers similar to the normal court barriers. Or, hang a type of curtain under the table Or tape some...

  4. Swedish champion beaten by technician-on-duty.

    I thought the story sounded familiar
  5. Swedish champion beaten by technician-on-duty.

    Let me get this straight. Are they saying that the test instrument measurement varied between 3.89 and 4.15 at the same measured position on the bat? Or that the bat measured 3.89 at one point and 4.15 at another. If it's the latter, the player has no issue to contest. If it's the first, then...

    Dan in hardbat Here's Dan trying his hand at hardbat in a chopper vs attacker duel. Note that the bats are the rubbers are the el cheapo versions costing about £5 per pair, not the far better stuff being suggested in this thread.
  8. 57 years old He Zhi Wen beating WR63!!!

    As someone well into his sixties, I'm happy to see an >50 perform well. However, at the same time I'm sad to see this as it gives ammunition to the sport's detractors to harp on about TT not being a 'real' sport. Darts? yes. Chess? yes. Golf? hmmm, yes But certainly not in athletics, football...
  9. All to All+ looping blade for a child who is starting to play

    Whichever is cheapest of any of the 5 suggested
  10. Your currently-fine blade vs Newly tried and you-really-like blade

    That is a serious reply. Life is short enjoy the moment whatever it is. Rule 20 is telling you to buy the new blade and keep your Viscaria as spare. If you insist that you can't keep both, then sell the Viscaria. You can always buy another in the future if you go off the Dynasty - this feeling...
  11. Is it true that in a pushing rally, you don't have to try to add more spin?

    Solution: The push-only match OP, learning the short push game is very important. In fact, most group coaching sessions that I've seen, there will be a part dedicated to this. Example; a pushing match, A vs B, to 21. A wins the point if B pushes long (1x bounce). The players thus learn, how...
  12. saying Thank you to your rival

    Of course you shouldn't. You earned that point so instead, cho loudly in your best Harimoto impression.
  13. Video Replay used at the World Tour Grand Finals 2019 | VAR

    Nothing menacing about it. Ask any UK player or umpire and they have been following this way of judging a net ball forever.
  14. Video Replay used at the World Tour Grand Finals 2019 | VAR

    Does this mean that a player cannot request VAR if he wins the point?
  15. Paint brush instead of sponge for gluing?

    Or simply use an old credit card like card.......if you see what I mean.
  16. Durability of Stiga Mantra M ???

    If my maths are correct, you are playing about 9 hrs per week for 12 weeks plus tournaments. That is very acceptable for any rubber. In fact, if you are a serious player you should have changed that rubber before 2 months were up.
  17. Durability of Stiga Mantra M ???

    That sounds about right for durability for any rubber

  20. Top 5 Most Popular Table Tennis Rubbers of All Time

    Butterfly D13 is the Daddy of inverted sandwich rubbers. Most players used Dunlop Barna rubbers at the beginning of the sandwich rubber craze. But as soon as D13 hit the market, everything else at the time was irrelevant, and set the standard for all to follow even to this day. Sriver is in...
