  1. Banish long pips

    On the contrary, I serve my FH pendulum almost ALL the damn time vs pips... give them my heavy underspin first to get them to know my under motion is actually heavy... then pull the carpet out on the spin (light or dead) then move the ball around on serve... then open with SPIN or power...
  2. Is epoxy coating really forbidden?

    You know Der_Echte would call it some other kind of bait that would be heavily edited or deleted by the Admin/Mods. :D
  3. DOWNFALL OF TABLE TENNIS, WHILE PICKLEBALL IS GAINING POPULARITY STEADILY.

    Of course figuring out how to find a suitable friction LP rubber and learning how to compete with it is 10x moar difficult and such have left the sprot in drives after spending billions on equipment... ... to me answer is simple, slap sum LPs on ur comfy blade and goof off and chop !!! You...
  4. DOWNFALL OF TABLE TENNIS, WHILE PICKLEBALL IS GAINING POPULARITY STEADILY.

    Obviously, the ones who left TT for pickleball all report that they can suddenly play rallies, enjoy themselves, and last in a rally way more than they ever did in TT. With TT, figuring out spin is too difficult for them, also difficult is equipment, very spin reactive, unless you slap on...
  5. Does the color of the table matters a lot?

    Given that the background and glare and light distribution and table friction and venue noise issues are OK, the table color does matter... ... in regard that the type of paint job matters... if it gets real shiny real soon, then the table adds to the glare and difficulty to pick up and track...
  6. Is butterfly overpriced

    BTY overpriced? Is the Sahara dry and dusty?
  7. Donic Original True Carbon differences in production?

    This happens with the same blade all the time. Why? Wood from the same tree is different. Wood from the same section is different. Blades shipped and stored differently lose or gain weight and characteristics. The most stark disappointments are when someone gets a LIGHTER blade of same...
  8. Is ITTF corrupt? 🤔

    Yes, true zeio about China being largest tt market... and even Nexy Korea sees this and stepped up efforts to get into Chinese market.
  9. Large Hands And Flared Handles

    I had custom made fatter and slightly longer handles made for many of my PPP blades in my sig... cost me 20 usd for each set. You could also get with SDC blades or another custom blade maker and ask around how you would want handle shape size and length. Kinda like a Burker King ur way.
  10. Is ITTF corrupt? 🤔

    Do we need a Blue Ribbon Committee full investigation into why the ground is wet after it rains? It is just wetter in areas Igor did not yet describe.
  11. Asking for Strategy against these 2 Players

    YES, you bring up the related point that even many advanced players do not know how/when/what to do for a quality push to get them out of trouble, avoid trouble, or set the opponent up for trouble. I still believe though that deeper low non attacking shots would have given him better...
  12. The Pistol Grip

    There ARE some cheap ones... I do not know if the vendors of there will ship it inexpensive to you in the Islands... but the base cost of such a blade is not much on the low end... ... but $20 USD is not a realistic price for the low end of this blade, unless you throw in something buy someone...
  13. Asking for Strategy against these 2 Players

    The short and not so funny to say all of what I said is to attack less, give him low, deep underspins, then when you DO choose the attack, you are ready... and do it strong and win points... then your opponent goes and cries to the trainer asking him what he must do now that he has zero chance...
  14. Asking for Strategy against these 2 Players

    Look at KM1976's first sentence and burn that shyt into your forearm. TT match play is all about realizing and striving for percentages. I often in person tell players that amateur TT is about controlling Dracula. (your urge to increasing go for too much at the wrong time/wrong/poor leverage)...
  15. Banish long pips

    U got it all wrong... :D of course the Koreans try to use this as the first way... and use that way damned well... but those LP wielding lipstick wearing O40 women's crowd over there actually trains longer hours to use their LP to negate the dead long balls and even hit it a little hard with...
  16. The Pistol Grip

    I think in my first sanctioned tourney in a visit to the Rocky Mountains, an 1800 level player defeated me using this... he could FH heavy slow topspin quite well with this using an old classic Chinese rubber... 729FX I think it was or something inexpensive/tacky... ... but that was way back in...
  17. What Glue should I use?

    Gorilla Glue for the Win. :D
  18. Is this rubber too damaged to reglue?

    Doch.. there WILL be a difference in playability.. but ja, yes, stimmt, I agree you could play that rubber again another reglue at his level.
  19. Asking for Strategy against these 2 Players

    Dave, Take a look where our OP in black shirt is setting his position of leverage with hitting elbow... whenever OP fails to keep upper arm set and elbow a little forward/side of rib cage, he doesn't move well or transition well. Correcting that one thing really opens things up... it is also...
  20. Is this rubber too damaged to reglue?

    Use that sucka to open up stubborn lids on old glass jars. :D
