Hey @the-don, I wouldn’t usually comment on individual cases, but given you brought all of this up, I’ll do my best to expand and correct any misconceptions. Firstly, whilst no Pro was promised, we had hoped to get one. We had confirmations from 2 (I won‘t say their names), but due to the...

Haha! A lucky shot! One Founder down..... One Frog to go 😉

That is an unbelievable shout….. Timing could not be any better. I’m not sure I’m as good as you though….. I travelled the short distance to @latej and moaned like a baby! Just imagine what I’d be like crossing the Atlantic and trying to play! But….. that is now definitely on my radar! 🇺🇸

I don’t think many people were there at the end….. But this is what it looked like when the lights went out. Epic! 😍

Right then… Düsseldorf 2026 was far too successful, so naturally the sensible response is to start planning the next one almost immediately. 😂 The Badgers Tour is looking for a host for 2027! 🏓✈️🍻* We’re thinking a similar setup: 📅 Early September 2027 ✈️ Friday → Monday 🏓 Ideally matches...

🏓🇩🇪 TTD COMMUNITY WEEKEND AT BORUSSIA DÜSSELDORF 🇩🇪🏓 Well… that was quite a weekend. What started as a slightly mad idea between myself and TTD somehow turned into 30 players from 10 different countries spending a full weekend playing table tennis at Borussia Düsseldorf — arguably the premier...

Hi all, With lots of different messages from everyone, it’s hard to keep track of who is who (usernames, real names, mobile numbers etc!) I just need to clarify one point. If you have not paid (via the TTD link I sent out), you will not be able to play any of the sessions. As you can...

There are so many caveats with this topic. Adaption - Yes, people will adapt. However, the sheer speed of Z03 is just fundamentally detrimental to the development of *most* people. And by *most* people, I mean when I look around the halls of where I play, and think of the average player who...

I'll add something to this. The trend is the modern *professional* game is speed over spin (or at least, as much speed as you can get!) However, I may be in the minority here, but I think for *most* people.... Spin over speed is 100% the way to go if you want to improve, win more matches and...

🚨Two weeks to go!! 🚨 Very much looking forward to it now 😁

@zeio @pongfugrasshopper - Do you see how you are both contributing to the problem here? Yet again, we are talking about a back and forth that happened in the past, that was put to bed. And here you both are trying to score points on the internet over each other by bringing it up.... again...

I'm not going to get into a back and forth about something I wasn't involved in, haven't seen and is in the past. Based on your explanation? Sure - It sounds like it was handled badly. But history tells me there are always 2 sides to the story, and whilst it may not change anything, it may...

Guys, what are we doing? This is a TABLE TENNIS forum that we CHOOSE to spend our own time on. Time that is very valuable to us all - Why does it need to descend into this childish back and forth all the time? I will put my opinions forward, and leave it at that. @Yxoons - You've been on...

Guys, I know it's a very small minority, but can we chill a little with the hostilities towards each other? I am 100% behind people asking questions and questioning things in the world of Table Tennis. However, we are in a fairly unique position where someone from an actual table tennis...

I’m not disagreeing with you, but these questions are always steeped in so much unanswered and almost impossible context. - Player ability - Opponent ability (how are those loops coming in at you for example) - Weight of blade - Perception of feel - Experience with equipment And finally, are...

Maybe someone has one in Dusseldorf! I used it with D05 on both sides and then switched to the OALC with the same rubbers. Again…. I just don’t think the difference warrants a huge decision. But that’s just my personal opinion!

I will die on this hill (maybe the wrong place for this opinion though) 😂 People get far too caught up in the tiny details - Especially at the level most of us are at. I could slap Dignics on the Harimoto and Ovtcharov and the difference in how they play will be virtually identical. One is...

Unpopular opinion…. They are so similar, does it really matter? Get the handle you like the most! If people want to get really granular…. The Harimoto is slower and feels “softer” or more “woody”. The Ovtcharov feels MORE like a classic outer carbon blade - There’s still a bit more woody...

This is the answer to a surprising number of questions, and my lifes motto! 😅

I had a spine surgery on a herniated disc in July 2021. I started playing again in December 2021 and pretty much picked up where I left off. I didn't change anything or worry about my equipment, so I would just use what you want :)
