  1. Butterfly Tenergy 05 Hard

    I only made a cursory press with my thumb. Definitely harder than T05R.
  2. November World Rankings 2018

    Yeah, Overrated for too long, he's finished. I will now move on to my next hero to copy............can anyone recommend someone?
  3. 24 minutes per game

    Hands-up, caught....again
  4. Butterfly Tenergy 05 Hard

    T05H 1st impressions After 20minute session, Bat = TBS ALC with T05H/T05R. Overall T05H has a high throw with a similar feel to H8 good for those deep, high topspin loops. Excellent at blocking and good on serve receive Timo-style. Great for those who can’t quite get to grips with T05R and...
  5. Why do the Brits suck at Table Tennis when they invented it

    Yeah, but it is a fun thread. Are these guys expert in psychology?
  6. Tenergy 05 Hard

    5 out of 5 rating for Tenergy 05 Hard I’ve had a 20minute session with the T05 hard. It was mounted on a TBS ALC with T05 hard black (T05H) and T05R (regular?) so provided an easy comparison. I am not great at explaining the idiosyncrasies so I’ll leave that to the expert reviewers. Overall...

  8. Swedish Open 2018

    Not weird. The umpire missed it and since both players made no query or change in pace/strokeplay, the play continued.
  9. 24 minutes per game

    Nothing wrong with 24mins per match especially if timeouts are banned. (I assume that you meant per match not per game) Dig into how TT tournaments are set out, you'll notice that organisers plan on each individual best of five match averaging 20minutes. That's why they hate those darn defenders...
  10. Butterfly Tenergy 05 Hard

    It's going to be very popular so I'm sure that you will be able to test a teammate's sample.
  11. Interesting ready position of top Chinese players

    Squatting and the split step It's sort of a cultural thing. Europeans will kneel when tending to their garden. People in the tropics prefer to squat for whatever reason. They can squat all day long if necessary. In my teenage years, I played school cricket mostly as a wicket keeper (catcher in...
  12. Can the USA grow the sport

    I'm not being critical, but what does the highlighted text mean?
  13. My new foam edge tape

    I use the foam edge tape as a gauge when cutting rubbers. The rubber on the blade is left with a slight overhang. This is useful when re-gluing the rubber as it always difficult to precisely match previously cut rubber to the blade.
  14. Does Handle Size matter?

    Yes. The advantage is that it is lighter than the traditional leather/rubber tape which are really for badminton rackets. With KT you make it as heavy/light or thick as you want. Plus it's so cheap on ebay that it allows for all sort of weight/balance and colour experimentation. The taping...
  15. Does Handle Size matter?

    Adjust handle comfort with KT tape Small handles are less of a problem than big handles. One can tape the small handles to fit. Many players are now using https://www.kttape.com/ as it enables finer tuning of the handle shape, and bat balance as a bonus. Big handles usually require carpentry...
  16. Does the point count if somebody serves out of turn?

    That's the commonsense approach. If an umpire is present, technically the players can't call a let. But in practice (if a player on realising the error stops play), the umpire will call a let if both players agree. It happens quite regularly.
  17. T League - Japan's New TT league

    That's a lot of money (40k yen = approx £275). For comparison with UK prices, tickets for Wimbledon, snooker and even premier league football tend to be well under £100 each.
  18. Blade Builders Thread

    Surprisingly, for such a small audience, that video is very professional in look.
