Here is a map of main central london clubs: https://sites.google.com/site/centrallondonttleague/home/where_to_play I think the Morpeth TTC might be the closest to you. If you drive, do check out the Ellenborough club (http://www.ellenboroughttc.com/) in Enfield.

So why don't you want to put Vega Pro on FH/BH (or Europe on BH) of your BTY Innerforce ZLF? The amount of spin sacrificed as compared to your current T05/M2 combo will be negligible, while the amount of control you regain would actually be quite noticeable.

IMHO, any excuse said to the face of the match winner by the player who lost is stupid. The only acceptable response is to congratulate the opponent on the well-deserved win. Also, it never hurts to ask the other player what, in their opinion, what was it you did or didn't do or didn't do well...

* "the ball just didn't bounce on the table" * "ball bounced funny, must be something wrong with the floor" * "your teammate distracted me ..." * "I was too tired/sick/distracted to play properly" * "my (recently purchased) tenergy 05 rubber lost grip"

Well, one has to work more with the Hurricane even with the normal celluloid ball - as compared to non-tacky rubbers like MX-P or 5Q. In fact, I found counter-looping to be a touch easier with the new ball regardless of which rubber was used, tacky or non-tacky, - because there was a bit less...

IMHO, Ragza 7 is too hard for someone who has not played for 10 years. Something like Xiom Vega Europe is much easier to get back in the game with.

Depends on how good you where 10 years ago, and just how rusty your TT skills are now. Why not asking some players at a TT club to play with their bats, ideally, some one same level as you're now, in order to get a feel at what you like and what you don't like?

Ma Lin was even better at this type of shot - the look of bewilderment on the opponent's faces was priceless. IMHO, Ma Long tends to make this shot when two conditions are true: * the opponent makes a slow spinny, relatively shallow, topspin shot into ML's BH * ML himself is out of position -...

I've tried Tibhar MX-P (medium hard), DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (medium hard) and Tibhar 5q vip with the new ball - all seemed to perform quite adequately with the new ball. My opponents used Tenergy 05 and Xiom Omega IV Asia, and did not complain about their rubber's performance either.

Just keep playing with what you've got. There is absolutely no need to change your equipment - it is simply a marketing ploy by TT manufacturers to get you to part with money.

Yup, from bribar.

Yup, I wrote the above on mytt.net. IMHO, all these prophesies of doom that accompany some of the other reviews are largely unfounded.

Assuming you are right-handed and serve from the left corner: Try beginning the serve by snapping your wrist away from your body and almost parallel to the table as opposed to towards the body and upwards. Then uncoil the wrist towards the net again almost parallel to the table and brush under...

It is relatively rare as compared with the regular FH pendulum serve. Because of this the variations of spin on this serve are more difficult to read. Plus the sidespin naturally takes the ball to the server's FH.

Which blade and what rubber thickness? A lot of players, pros and amateurs, play with off- blades and don't lack power away from the table. Have a chat with a coach - perhaps a simple small change in your looping technique will bring about the desired effect without sacrificing the control and...

The quote seems to originate from yogibear's post on mytt.net.

If it still suits your style, there is absolutely no need to change the blade.

IMHO, the speed at which the underpin ball travels over the table is less important than the amount of underspin on the ball - you just need to get into position faster. Looping heavy underspin generally requires faster and more upward motion than looping mild underspin.

Of course one can loop even heavy underspin balls. Here is a great example:
