I could be wrong. And if I am and your interpretation is correct, then you have a point. But as I hear what doppelmoral is saying, it is very different: it is that for months he said no over and over, and they kept asking him and were kind of aggressive in asking him, until finally, after...

I think, what you are ignoring is the idea that the scenario doppelmoral is describing is going to cause him to quit TT because of the drama. Then, who wins? Nobody. Not the club. Not him. Not the league. In the end, the biggest loser is the sport as a result of people not accepting when...

To me, the idea that doppelmoral is saying the scenario is exactly what I described and there is still pushback that he should be bored and put up with torture for the sake of others while continuing to pay to be tortured seems to me to point out a flaw in the way some TT players are thinking of...

Based on what I read, to me, it sounds like you free associated and misunderstood everything doppelmoral tried to explain about the situation. I did not get any of what you are expressing and got something completely different. And, I think this is still, you not getting the situation or...

Good question. That would make it a little more understandable at least even if I still might not want the drama if I was in the situation. Interesting. It is a nice parallel scenario.

Okay, so, since NextLevel has brought up a point that may have some validity, and nobody knows if it does but you, and that means, I may as well ask you some questions to see if there is some reason why people in the club may feel you are obligated to join one of their league teams because of...

I have to be honest. I like to train. I don't like competitive aspect of TT. I personally don't care if I improve. The training aspect of TT makes me happy. Match play, not so much. I think a lot of people on this thread seem to be missing some of the point of what you are saying. You...

I tried to put this thread back to sleep after deleting all the spam. But Tony was replying while I was deleting. Oh well. This thread attracts the essay writing spam because of the subject having the word "School" in it. Just report any new spam that arises. Thanks.

Are you saying Long Pips are not good for backspin? Interesting.

Research Long Pips. If you want to return complex spins with a lot of control, if you play defense some of the time, you may want to research what Long Pips do that is different than smooth rubber.

Any chance you can post footage of what you are trying to do? Footage would help people see what you are actually dealing with and what would be most useful to you. Based on the idea of trying to return sidespin with backspin, it is possible long pips on one side would be something useful for...

You should not get either. Get something like this: Blade: Tibhar Stratus Power Wood Rubber: Xiom Vega Pro (FH) Rubber: Xiom Vega Europe (BH) That setup would be much better. The blade is good and more than fast enough. The rubbers will allow you to spin the ball and not be too reactive...

As long as you know the risks, it is totally worth it. :)

Yep. They don't all break. If they did, nobody would use them. You kind of have to hit at the right angle. It does not matter so much how thick the blade is; it is the angle the wood gets hit at since Hinoki plies line up so cleanly. But I am glad yours has withstood the test of time. But...

Just for visuals: It is easy to find visuals for this. The reason is, the single ply can split down the grain of the blade. The reason multiply wood is stronger and harder to break is because the plies of any layer can be placed perpendicular to the layer above or below. In a blade...

If it is for something to keep, put on the wall, look at and enjoy, get a Darker Speed 90 brand new from Darker. If it is for a 13 year old kid to use and play, if the kid plays shakehand, a one ply Hinoki blade would be a thick, awkward, heavy, blade that could limit the kid's development...

Slumpi YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT I CAN SEE THE POSTS YOU HAVE DELETED AND IN THE PAST 10 DAYS, YOU HAVE DELETED AND THEN REPOSTED THE SAME EXACT MESSAGE EIGHTEEN TIMES: 18 TIMES, 18 TIMES. IF YOU DO IT ONE MORE TIME, I WILL LOCK THE THREAD AND GIVE YOU A BAN FOR A FEW WEEKS. DO YOU THINK OTHER...

@Edan : you had 5 threads. To me, they all looked like slight variations on the same thing. I have merged them. Now they are one thread. For the same basic subject, ("I am thinking about getting a new setup") you don't really need more than one thread.

If you did read, he did list an approximate number for his budget: I read the "~" to mean "approximately". But maybe he can clarify. But the number he did list was $80. And $130 is not approximately $80. So....I am just actually reading what he wrote and trying to help him. The setup you...

For those who don't understand French: Here is Google Translate's translation of the text from Kudo's post: "Hello I wanted to know if the stiga rosewood nct VII that I bought is indeed a real one because I don't see on the handle, the little dot at the top right of the "a" of "stiga" which is...
