  1. What is STIGA Cybershape?

    Well, strictly speaking, they have a ranking - they are just not on the latest published list due to lack of participation in TTE tournaments. Just go to https://www.tabletennisengland.co.uk/compete/player-rankings-and-ratings/ and download the starter rankings (or ratings if you want to include...
  2. What is the spinniest ESN hybrid rubber for Joola Flash ball? (seamless ball)

    Slow opening loops are not what they used to be since the switch to plastic balls. K2 has been my FH rubber for exactly 3 years now. Nothing I've tried - Dignics 9c, Rakza Z EH nor K3 - came even close as a worthwhile replacement. D9C felt too mushy and not tacky enough, both Rakza Z and K3 are...
  3. Help needed: How to deal with soft / no spin / minimal spin short ball

    I'm pretty sure all of us here would kill for being able to consistently short push like ML and FZD in that video :-) (who, btw, are practicing normal short pushing in that clip). You should have copied the rest of that sentence from my post " .. - the ball is past the highest bounce point and...
  4. Help needed: How to deal with soft / no spin / minimal spin short ball

    This, especially the tips in bold. The reason your (OP's) pushes of nospin/"floaty" balls pop up is that you're late to get to them - the ball is past the highest bounce point and you're getting under it, probably with too big a motion. Try to get as close as possible to the ball, lean forward...
  5. How to deal with Osgood Schlatter?

    Ouch, not good. I was diagnozed with this when I was 12 years old. Spent two weeks in a hospital with my knees in a cast, then had stop any physical activity like sports (including quitting TT training) or running, jumping for a year. Go see a doctor.

  8. Non-shrinking ESN rubbers

    Most tensors do not come vacuum sealed (unlike DHS Hurricane) so one would imagine they would shrink naturally during their shelf life which they don't appear to. In my experience, tensors end up shrinking when re-gluing if too much pressure was applied when using a roller to smooth out the...
  9. Anybody tried Lemuria blades?

    I've got a Lemuria Mizutani Super ZLC from https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002707341386.html?spm=a2g0s.12269583.0.0.440434ae2L5p2G as my spare blade, with same rubbers as on my regular blade. Got curious and ordered one last year. Very good manufacturing quality, smooth wings, comfortable...

  11. carbon blade with spin ability

    OMG, the verbal contortions some people resort to just to avoid admitting that slower equipment means more control ... Look at the above - each sentence contradicts the previous. "Got more control because the new blade is slower. But blade does not have more control. But it is easier to use and...

  15. Do you think this volleyball shoe is suitable for table tennis ?

    Why wouldn't it be suitable ... There was actually a thread some years back about which shoes provided best shock absorption either on this forum or mytt and someone mentioned that "volleyball shoes are great for table tennis". I've used Wave Hurricane 2 volleyball shoes since then and they...
  16. Replacement for MX-P on backhand

    Well, XIOM's marketing has lots of buzzwords describing the differences between IV/V/or VII generations of rubbers. I would not attribute too much importance to these. If you see a great deal - like getting a new Omega Pro IV for half price of a new Omega Pro VII - go for it!
  17. Replacement for MX-P on backhand

    If you're looking for something like MX-P but lighter, Xiom Omega VII Pro is a good alternative.

    Cracking match. High time to see a new generation of European players duking it out in the final.
