I wasn't sure if I missed some posts here, or if the OP was having a late night argument with themselves? Entertaining none the less..... Complaining about people you've seen foot stomping (but no one you play with.....) is akin to me going down to my local TT committee and asking them to get...

Just think of all those TT League ranking points!

I'm not sure if you realised you've just answered an almost 4 year old thread? But it's always fun when that happens! 😀 For what it's worth, the question that was asked is too general in my opinion, and unless we get wood and carbon specialists in to analyse the materials used, it comes down to...

Whilst we use the Xushaofa 3 star balls the most, I would have to agree with the Nittaku Premium comment from L-zer! They feel the heaviest I've used, and if it weren't for the fact I was so used to the Xushaofa, I'd say they were the best. Butterfly G40 feels heavy-ish, but they are...

I have mixed emotions on anti spin! 😂 Do I like watching it? Yes and no...... Once you've seen one shot, it feels like you've seen them all (certainly in a compilation like this), but it's good to see the longer rallies where people have to really think about what is happening. At a "non pro"...

If you are a Xu Xin fan, and you really want to use his equipment..... Buy it. Nothing else will make you as happy, and you'll feel much happier using Xu Xin's blade over anything else. People get too caught up in analysing statistics and equipment - There really isn't much difference in all...

I'd not call it a flat hit - My definition of "flat" would be little spin/attempted spin on the shot. It's certainly "topspin", but it wouldn't fall under the "topspin loop" category for me. More of a topspin drive (lovely shot by the way!)

You don't think that's marketing spiel? We all have our opinions (and personally, I love a good bit of marketing to make the hype real), but this literally screams marketing. There is only so much they can do with new technologies/materials at this point, so they have to make it seem amazing...

PingPongBird, if the end result is good, keep doing it! 😀 A few things to add...... Stop saying about your "low level"...... Compared to Timo Boll? Maybe.... But we are all low level compared to Timo! 😁 I certainly wouldn't turn any more than you are doing - If you come across someone who...

Call my cynical...... But I'm not sure the change in speed (assuming the 12.1 vs 11.8 is accurate), is particularly noticeable. Butterfly have had much faster blades on the market for many years (that have since gone the way of the Dodo....). ZLC, SZLC and T5000 are all faster than the typical...

As Lula said, don't do serves where your 2nd shot is often under pressure. Also, Gonzo is probably spot on with the smash route - Without seeing the play in question, if the ball is high and over the table, you can probably smash/drive through the ball, without needing to "loop" it too much...

Firstly, I’d only buy 09c if I had a good amount of disposable income, buying TT equipment brought me joy, or I was a top player who felt like it would help. If none of those applied to me, there are a lot of rubbers I’d buy that would do a similar job. Anyway, 09c is much more controlled...

I agree. I'd 100% support anyone trying to make a table tennis YouTube channel, but it becomes spam when a new thread is posted for every tiny little video (some are 5 seconds long with a clickbait title.....) If you have one Megathread where you can post new videos, you'll benefit from a well...

There isn't much in it. The OALC is more like a conventional Butterfly outer carbon blade IMO. It's a bit crisper and faster than the HALC which is slightly softer, slower with more control. If you want a wood feel in a fast bat - Get the HALC. If you want a more carbon feel in a bat with...

I'm just going to be repeating what you already know at this point, but.... I will anyway 😀 Looks like you have not just a good coach, but possibly the best coach you can get - This is a major step in improving your long term game, and I'd 100% trust what they have to say. A comparison I can...

Hey Gozo, People have already given solid advice, so I'll not repeat it. The only thing I'd say is that time is everything (especially when you have a coach teaching you properly, so we can rule out bad coaching). You probably want to be thinking in years, not weeks - Although this will...

This is a new one to me, and I'm not sure it's actually a good thing? When Speed Glue was banished, it was a good day! 😂 The hassle of glueing before every match or training sessions was such a nightmare! With modern rubbers and glue, I don't see any advantage in re-glueing for the sake of it...

You are re gluing the same rubbers to the same blade? Are you changing anything? Adding booster or changing rubbers?

Never. Once it’s close to dead (I usually leave 20-50% life in them), I just replace the rubber with a new one.

That looks stunning. This is the way......
