  1. Umpire

    Not funny at all. But the question is, who gets the point?
  2. Rubber Recommendations

    Joola sponsored players that I see tend to use Rhyzm
  3. Name a friend who has done this!

    I have the handle to prove it. Stiga offensive.
  4. Which method is preferred to cut table tennis rubbers?

    Overhang is good. It helps to protect the blade from accidental table hits. Even if you prefer no overhang, always have some initially and leave for about a week to cater for shrinkage.
  5. "All About Tenergy" Butterfly Science

    If a player is changing rubbers every 2-4 weeks, then that person is a either a semi or full pro. If not, they are fanatics beyond reason. Under normal circumstances (not including accidental damage), even a high level player should not require more than 3 pairs in a TT season. Sure, if he is...
  6. Shakehand Grip Variations

    Everyday is a learning day. One thing I picked up from the video was when Ben noticed that his index finger was not flat against the bat. I checked mine and I do the same thing. It means that pressure is applied by the finger tip only. I think the flat finger approach aids control. Maybe this...
  7. Shakehand Grip Variations

    I agree with KillerspinTT's use of the term 'relaxed ' grip, rather than 'loose' grip. Loose grip confuses players in that they think of the bat possibly flying out of their hand. There are all kinds of grips that players use and they are always changing and modifying their grip over the years...
  8. Ask Petr Korbel a question!

    Petr, thanks for the reply. Yes, even at a much lower level like mine, I rarely see defenders. I see pushblocking Long pips and anti players but not many defenders in the old sense.
  9. Getting higher in the ETTA (England) Rankings

    Your ranking of 190 is not bad. The way to go of course is to enter every Grand Prix tournament that you can and the Nationals. These tournaments will give you the best ratings rewards for a good win. Next in line would be to get onto a British League team. How old are you? If you are still at...
  10. Ask Petr Korbel a question!

    Your playing career at the highest level has spanned a couple of generations. What are the main differences in strategy used today from when you played in the nineties?
  11. Man's best friend (video)

    That's brilliant. I smiled for all 59secs
  12. What glue do you use to glue new rubbers to your bat?

    To me T4 acknowledges that the rule is not practicable or enforceable both for technical and other reasons. The ITTF is asking for players to go with the spirit. So basically glue with rubber cement, or WBG, or even VOC (non-speed glue) as long as it would pass the VOC test in theory. I say...
  13. What glue do you use to glue new rubbers to your bat?

    Olio, what do you understand from ITTF technical leaflet number 4 dated Sept 2014 "3.1. Solvents Manufacturers should expose rackets or sandwich rubber combinations to air before packing them to remove volatile solvents which they utilise during their processes players should similarly air...
  14. Ma Long Chop Block German Open 2015!

    It's one of those strokes that is ideal for learning on a robot. I'm sure that after just 10mins you'll get the basic mechanics of that block.
  15. Ma Long Chop Block German Open 2015!

    His partner thinks, "No big deal. Seen him do it all the time".
  16. Illegal serves, are you guilty of any

    I thought I was doing this serve Until I saw a video of myself, I thought that I was doing this: But in reality, I was throwing up my hand really high but, many times, the released ball was not being thrown =>16cm
  17. Illegal serves, are you guilty of any

    Here are a few examples. Which one do you do ...sometimes:-)
  18. 360 degree camera for Table Tennis! freeD™

    Too expensive? TT would not need 22 cameras as in that video. I can see WCPP using this technology as it could also be used for the snooker as it's promoted by the same team.
  19. Humid Rubbers.

    I think it happens to every rubber.
  20. New STIGA blade production building

    It's sunny in Sweden, I see.
