  1. New chopper, need help selecting a long pip rubber :)

    @Scarfed Garchomp is barking up the correct tree here. Cheep. get .5 or .6 sponge LP... ANY of them, get... just get one and try it out. Let ball drop to table height or a few cm below, you will be lower and more consistent with chops. (or at least easir to land with some semblance of quality.
  2. Clubs in S.Korea

    Lee Jae Chul moved his club maybe 1/2 km or so up the street some years ago. Heard this some years back from someone I sent there. ( I played in the gym in this pic several times.) Someone runs this as an almost rec center TT outfit. I see the mapottc FB page... he got his name all over it and...
  3. Blade & Rubber suggestion/recommendation - starting over

    I recommend ANY of them. Play well with old or new, light or heavy, solid, v1 or v2 senso handles. I prefer 90+ grams, but I also play fine with low 80s ST handle ones. The wood on the handle piece is very grippy and easy to whip the bat even if hands are wet with sweat. The V2 is marketed mas...
  4. Identification of the sponge is due and overdue.

    The very same snakes who would say No NO NO NO !!!! to the legal and moral attributes of a custom sponge/rubber... these same snakes do NOT speak out against the hundreds of threads on these forums detailing the top-secret methods to boost/tune H3... Boosting/tuning is clearly against the ITTF...
  5. Identification of the sponge is due and overdue.

    How this would apply to me, an amateur player in USA, even in sanctioned tourneys there is no racket control in any events I qualify and play in... even in US Open. If you are good enough to be elite, then there is a measure of racket control in the higher events like the open division in the...

    Your BH will experience waves of doing well and doing poorly and is grows. Stay with it. You awareness of reaching too much will serve you well, find your good optimal strike zone for yourself and strive to adjust position and leverage to keep ball coming to strike zone where you set leverage...
  7. Blade & Rubber suggestion/recommendation - starting over

    The weight distro on the 40 plus PPP blades I have bought and tried are more than good... do not worry over absolute weight, PPP will do you well... and so can another few hundred of other setups.
  8. Blade & Rubber suggestion/recommendation - starting over

    I got TWO Donic PPP blades from tabletennis11 that were 95 and 96 grams and an ABOSULTE GEM each one. Weight distribution matters more and a heavier blade blocks way better. I built a bat for a UC Davis club player for $70ish USD, new PPP blade Fl handle, new Aurus 48 FH, used (but only a few...
  9. How to receive side top spin serve?

    Also Sleepy, I am lucky to be friends with the best Ukrainian TT player in our region, the one and only Sergey the Real Tsos who is also USA's clear leading expert on the procurement, tuning, and use of H3. He can spin the ball with the sandpaper-like K1 rubber he has. I am happy you have had...
  10. Need tips on how to improve my feeling/control

    Then there is the argument of the TT learning with guidance from effective communicator coach or friend... and the many thousands of hours of effective practice. many never get here, so I hope you make it.
  11. Need tips on how to improve my feeling/control

    Blades and rubbers certainly define what can and cannot well happen, but seeing the ball and getting to the right position on time with leverage and a clear idea of what to do with the ball count a lot more than equipment itself. Having said that, I will sound like an old TT grandpa by saying...
  12. How to receive side top spin serve?

    Sleepy, what do you mean by saying my bad... your English is outstanding and so were your main points. BTW, I am same, my language elevator stops at 4th floor.
  13. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    @Marvinn8686 Continue to enjoy the sport, continue to push the envelope as Americans say, and push the boundaries of what TTD members like to see and hear.
  14. How to receive side top spin serve?

    @SleepyMaster has English skillz... we can argue over this word or that, but his main points are as Americans say are ON POINT.

    Anyone looking at NL at first glance would be deceived about NL getting into position with leverage. He has real long levers and doesn't need to be in a classic position with more hip dip. He dips enough given his knees and it is enough. This also allows him to be compact when he wants to be...
  18. Video Footage Safe Thread

    You are asking one of the top questions of the century for amateur players. it comes down to setting position, leverage.... then timing and controlled independent SEQUENCE of EXPLOSION... which is colorful words for how one transfers power. How you position feet in both width and direction...

    It is not so much as where such and such player has played, but a lot more about what a commenter could see and say about biomechanics, skills, footwork, tactics, adjustments and the like...and logically link to a plan... that has reasonable chances to improve performance. No single system of...

    Like it or not, you have to convince Carl that you will be an asset instead of an azzhole. Carl has good judgement and is absolutely paid zero to be the admin and spam defender. (and azzhole regulator) Yes, I would agree with your base premise that not so many TTD forum members are gunna...
