I don’t like or hate it…. But I’m SO HAPPY it’s not legal or the “expected” thing to do like Speed Glue was. It was SUCH a pain to glue the rubbers each time, with the possibility of the rubber not being quite the same as the last time. I think it also creates an unnecessary equipment...

Next time you serve..... Really make sure that ball has had a good swish around your mouth....... And then TOMAHAWK that bad boy...... "Wet ball" will forever be down to the players - Especially at "friendly" level. If he was a decent person, and you showed him the wet patch from your bat...

"Good" player is relative on this forum - You might not think you are good, but perhaps you are better than most other people.... Or, you could be a beginner and a low level (both are fine!) Table tennis is such a tough sport to review the equipment on - Everyone feels things slightly...

Oooof, keeping me relevant 9 years down the line…. I appreciate it! 😅 I didn’t say there was no difference. I said there won’t be a huge difference. The point I was making is that for 99.99999% of this forum, and players across the globe, it simply won’t matter, or, they’ll not be able to...

TTD..... I come to you for your wise and wonderful suggestions..... I'm converting my Dad to a short pips player - Embrace the chaos! I'm going Buggler on the backhand (1.9) with Glayzer on the FH (Max). He's definitely more of a "hitter" than a looper, but he's pretty good and can generate...

We can’t wait! It’s going to be the highlight of the year! An international TTD meet up!

Hey, Welcome to the forum! Firstly, I hope you enjoy your YouTube journey - It's not easy posting content, and it'll certainly be interesting to some people! Secondly, and this is not supposed to take anything away from what you've done (and apologies if I've missed a joke or a point...

Firstly, can I just say how impressed I am with your partners outfit? The inverted Carrot is such an underrated look! 🥕 No advice on offer here, I know you didn't post for that. It's been a while since I've seen you play, but I actually thought you look more fluid and consistent than last time...

If you’d been looking enough, you’d know it’s pretty essential to allow people to post and ask for advice like this, without some absolute novice keyboard warrior spewing “textbook form” from their “Table Tennis 101” handbook…. No gate keeping, just common sense. What you’ve said is not...

Very nice! Anything that helps is always good - I’ve usually got to adapt slightly because most videos are from “normal” height players, and it often doesn’t translate perfectly when you are taller/bigger. But I think the content available now is so good for people who don’t have access to a...

I did a video a few years ago for the "Video Safe" thread, showing what it would be good to see if people needed advice - You can see my BH here playing with D05. My level is pretty similar (I've had a good year this year, and it's probably a bit more consistent now) If I'm honest, there...

I'm still with it! Depending on level and your general shot mechanics on the backhand, there really isn't much to get used to. My issue is that I WANT to play aggressive, loopy topspins and counters - 09C is perfect for that. I still have a habit of punching and going too "flat" at times - 05...

We are just in discussions on that point.... I'll message you soon! :)

I'll take your word for it, and I agree that different players of all abilities can feel differently about the equipment. The Butterfly blade matrix is a pretty good tool in these situations - It takes the "player" out of it, and you'd hope that Butterfly measure the blades to the same standard...

Apologies, but is this someone who is supposed to know a lot about blades? The Ovtcharov ALC is a great blade in my experience. The one thing I would never call it is "slow". It's quicker than any inner carbon blade I've played with, and incredibly similar in speed to the likes of Viscaria/TB...

100%. Also... I've got a trumpet, tennis racket, ballet outfit, gymnastics clothes and a guitar for sale.... All used once! 😂

A heated debate on an online forum..... Juicy. Firstly, I just want to state I really enjoy the content from @Heming Hu and Anders Lind. The more English content from very capable players, the better. But.... I thought the video from Anders was a bit.... pointless? He should have specified...

Do we? What qualifies as someone advancing from "beginner to intermediate"? Time? Ability? Dedication? I know plenty of people who have been playing for decades, and they are still rooted in the bottom division of local league. Are they a beginner? Likewise with Intermediate, that covers...

Local leagues are full of this..... It's the only way I've had success over the years! ;)

This is pretty much all you need to hear. Too little info to be able to advise properly. Get yourself a coach if you really want to improve.
