  1. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    It is a Church and it is not the way to MMA style Goon Squad rear naked choke your azz out and demand the cash. Still, people should feel compelled to contribute a proportional amount to fund things. Often, too many of the same people over donate to make this up. I buy things periodically and...

  3. Need more advices on how to further improve forehand stroke

    Basic FH hit and FH Loop vids... 4 yrs old, but very relevant. Coach Lee Chul Seung and Takkyu show some amateur players basics and nuances. Hit the CC button for subs, the ENG subs are serviceable.
  4. Need Recommendation and suggestion for someone new to sport!

    The only non-H3 rubber i tried not named H3 that felt worth half a shyt was Yinhe Jupiter. Decent pace and control for a cheep rubber. The rubbers I use cost me $27 USD each and last forever, like for MONTHS, they are easily a value. I could play 3x a week and they could last literally the...
  5. Need advice: how to transform qualities from training to match play

    Oh, and blahness articulation of being relaxed throughout the long process is uber important.
  6. Need advice: how to transform qualities from training to match play

    Good. blahness is on the road to showing the OP that there is a progression... starts with habits/performance in training, then casual play, then less important match play like league or challenge matches, then in important sanctioned tourney play. These are all different and distinct. Stuff...
  7. Backhand topspin tutorials are useless

    OP should know that there are so many different BH shots with different approaches to striking... but physics are physics. one must be in position and have leverage. One must be biomechanically efficient. One must generate kinetic energy with stance and explosion, how to amplify it, and deliver...

    Does it sound like my cappucino had old, bitter beans in it? Nope, just keeping it 100 and real.
  9. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I have very often chided who is the majority of amateur TT players in my area for their strong and wrong adherence to playing TT for the absolute minimum to zero amount of money expended. Such players wear the same white $2 undershirt they bought in 2007, and their FH ruber might still be from...
  10. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    There is a backup place... an ex-military post gym fieldhouse where a player invested $1000 usd of hiz own cah to stash two tables there to be available when Church TT is not happening or players get the itch on days not Mon or Fri... This same nice player is making an effort to purchase...
  11. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    The fate of the future of 2x a week TT at the Russian Church is under debate and decision... hopefully favorably for us all, but when a bunch of players are individually and collectively cheapskate freeloading stiffnecks, it is tough to do things as a group for the benefit of the group. This...
  12. Video Footage Safe Thread

    MaTT at the beginning of Cobiddie made a series of great serve tutorial vids worth digging up. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/mhtabletennis-tutorial-videos.23124/
  13. How do I know everlasting tacky rubber?

    Sergey Tsos, the nation's leading expert on H3, (so will @UpSideDownCarl ) will tell you that such a rubber wiped with Der_Echte bear sweat will be tacky, long living and fast. Der_Echte says a good cleaning with lemon juice and olive oil, followed by moistening, and application of a plastic...
  14. Do TT pros use what they endorse?

    The pros will use it if they like it... if they like another blade, they will use that and slap on the company handles and call it a day. At the end of the day (pun intended) do what Gozo just said and get with a custom blade maker and get them to custom make ur very own Mass Annihilation Unit.
  15. Video Footage Safe Thread

    For the FH pendulum serve, absolutely upper arm moves, but must stop at a certain point and lower arm goes through... I advocate for a bent arm starting to side/little behind ribs, a small backswing, elbow/upper arm hits ribs and stops, then lower arm goes through. Visualizing and executing it...
  16. Dignics 80 and Tenergy 05 alternatives

    Footwork and ball reading skill improvement will take you many miles further down the TT path than Tenergy ATM.
  17. 41 Or 40 Degree DHS hurricane 3

    Ask Sergey Tsos before this thread reaches 50 replies. He KNOWS H3.
  18. Rubber with good ratio of performance/longevity/price

    Aurus lasts 3-4x longer than your premium rubbers... easily get 300 hrs, often 500-600 hrs. Now a real good elite amateur or above will pound the dog crap outta the ball and no med firm rubber known to man lasts very long doing that over and over... For these types the hard sponged rubbers...
  19. Should I upgrade my blade or change rubber?

    OP should boost the match ball and blade as well... you know, to be consistent.
  20. Need Recommendation and suggestion for someone new to sport!

    I would say do not worry too much about which exact blade. Get something all wood in ALL+ to OFF range with a handle you like (or grip tape it to shape you like)... and slap on modern dynamic offensive control oriented soft rubbers or older gen control oriented offensive rubbers and go back to...
