Hey Attitude, On this point above, just remember that whilst you probably look at those bloopers and think "I'm much better than that", those misses might give a bit more insight into some of the things you are looking to improve. Most of your shots in the video are pretty decent! A couple of...

Hi Kingkimchi, How do you find your current set up of Harimoto ZLC with D09C and T05H? Without seeing that, I would have recommended D09C on FH and D05 on backhand.

There is a lot to consider here, and in my opinion, not that much actually comes down to the rubber (for you personally). It comes back to the discussions you've been having on the blade you use. Do you want something that will give you the greatest chance at improving, yet perhaps not "talk"...

The biggest thing for me was the spin generation drop off. But realistically, you are only going to notice if you’ve got heavy spin shots. There was very little difference in top end speed on a hard, flat shot.

I’ve always felt the “in built speed glue effect” line is a marketing gimmick to appease the sheer grief players felt when speed glue was banned. If anything, booster would be pretty close to speed glue (at least the closest thing we have other than using actual speed glue). But both aren’t...

Sorry, my very poor English humour doesn’t come across very well on a multi national forum (I definitely wasn’t really expecting a Rocky style montage!) 😃 Hopefully we’ve cleared this all up! This sport is too small to make online enemies, especially with everything else going on in the...

For clarification, I've never once judged your level. Perhaps I'm on my own here, but when someone new comes online and says they've done things that very few people have ever managed to do, it creates an element of excitement and scepticism (this is the internet after all, where being sceptic...

I find it interesting that all of your anger is aimed at me for suggesting you put a video for others to see your level - I'm not sure how that makes me toxic or salty, but there you go! You've clearly had an amazing sporting career already, and you sound like you are one of the better table...

I think it's *very* hard to self diagnose table tennis strokes. A camera and online feedback will get you so far, but it pales in comparison to having an actual coach (preferably a good one, but any coach who knows the mechanics of the shots will do!) I always find it really impressive when...

Thank you! 😃 I've always used dots - Bad habit perhaps, but I've never considered them to mean anything other than what they are (dots!) Don't knock us average league players! 😅 We are out here trying our best. I'm not sure where I've *not* been humble here? Perhaps something was lost in...

I'll see how these turn out and then look at alternatives for future if we need too. I'm hoping they'll be good!

I disagree quite significantly on that last part..... The higher your skill level, the *more* important the equipment becomes. Sure, good players can use virtually anything and do a good job. But the better you are, the more you can get out of your equipment, and that's where the very small...

That falls into my point previously about using the equipment because you like the Pro associated with it! I like to throw in really high tomahawk serves and grunt really loud when I use my Ovtcharov! 😂

Of course everyone can have their own opinions. I'm not highlighting you specifically, but people love to comment on the pro's and con's of equipment, when in reality they don't come close to having the ability to be able to utilize them close to their potential. It then becomes irresponsible...

Don't worry, we went with printed shirts and embroidered jackets!

That's the one! Apart from a few 2 man leagues (which are far more popular in Summer, and generally not considered to be as important), all of the leagues I know are 3 man teams with 9 singles and a doubles. Some leagues have different scoring systems, but most simply count the number of...

In some ways, I'd rather be at 39% as you can see the improvement year on year. For me, the only real positive result would be 90%+ Anything else just feels like a solid season (with the potential for it to be a bad season!) I'm at a level where I won't improve unless I really step it up and...

We had our penultimate match in one of the leagues I play in last night. 21 matches in the season (8 teams in the division and you play each other 3 times). We have just clinched the Premier Division title with 1 match to go! CHOOOOOOOOO!! It’s probably the toughest league I play in, and...

I know this is predominantly an "equipment forum", and the responses are always going to try and justify 1 percent here and 1 percent there...... But really..... Are you in a strong enough position to utilize the different strengths and weaknesses of each blade (considering how similar they...

Agreed, I much prefer the printed look on UA type t shirts. We are getting it embroidered on the jacket to match the embroidered UA logo (and the jacket is a thicker material).
