When will Adidas rubbers be remeved from the LARC? When does ITTF approval for Adidas rubbers run out? edit: I just checked the ITTF website. The present LARC is valid until 30 Sep2015. Can I assume that if Adidas have not paid their dues, then the rubbers are not legal beyond 30Sep15?

Received my order today I placed an order for Tenergy and received today via 1st class mail. Not bad.

As I said, interesting matchup :-)

That's sad. I got the impression that they were just about building up a large following. From posts on forums their P7 rubber seem well accepted.

All good stuff, two things I might add> No-spin serve. I think of it that there's no such thing. There's always a little top or back depending on how the server strikes the ball, and it does make a difference when playing the the LP PB. I usually serve 'no-spin' with a bias to backspin so that I...

My EJ instinct has been aroused by this thread. I think that I might again try T25FX on my BH.

Taking part in the Grand Prix circuit is a great learning experience. I know as I've been to many over the years. But guess what, I've never actually played a GP. I think I'll rectify that this season by entering my home GP, Bristol.

I don't know about you, but seeing jumped up academy kids against good vets who have to use their wits and experience makes for some very interesting matchups.

Just a thought, did your problems roughly coincide with the change to poly ball?

It depends. The standard guidance is to spin and loop. But many of us are more drivers/smashers and not very good at looping. You really have to look at your own overall game to see the best path to follow in a particular situation. Now having said that, the smash drive is usually an attempt at...

What's wrong with getting thrashed -1 and -3? It's only a learning process. Band 5 & 6 is the first tier for almost every player. You may come across a strong premier div player on his first GP outing or a 10 yo beginner. But it's all good fun and you get to watch some good matches. Also you...

I'll just say, terrific! I thought that GECA had used up all the adjectives, but you guys still found more :-)

Oops. I just remembered that my experience was with T25FX. Unusually, it plays significantly different from the harder T25.

For me whilst using T25, I was brilliant (in my mind) at flipping backspin serves - basically anything short over the table. Today, I have more trouble attacking surprise short low floaters with my T05 shod FH. When I had the T25, I had far less problems. Active blocking was much easier. Like...

Try T64 on the BH. It's good at the table and brilliant away from the table.

The first big problem for western culture, is that females are not into sport like males. Neither for taking part nor spectating. Sure there is a big bunch of exceptions. But generally they don't appreciate sport like males do. How to change that? I don't know. They love getogethers for Yoga or...

The blocker hardly had to move because DO's shots were so accurate.

Misbehaviour penalty Yes. You are sharp. At 8:14 originally I was looking at the kid and thinking that he could be on slippery ground. He was unlucky in that the bat landed on the corner and the spring in the sponge caused it to kick, making the incident look worse than it was. The match point...

He did not get a red card. Only the tournament referee can do that. He was 8-10 down (match point). he slammed his bat on the table. He must have then received a yellow/red warning which means a point to his opponent. As he was match point down, then that point would have given the game and...

He didn't shake the umpire's hand either at the end. Young Master Rossi needs a good lesson in anger management. I saw the exact thing happen in the English Junior finals (Drinkhall V Knight) a few years ago. But at least Darius had the strength of character to shake the umpire's hand.
