This is why you lacquer the blade and saturate the handle with Danish oil. Adds about a gram to the handle but keeps the sweat out.

Make sure you get the largest frames that will fit on your face. Those small fashion frames will have a narrower field of view and will not be suitable for sports. I would get titanium frames which are durable, light and very thin. Try to get raw titanium or lighter colored frames because over...

In all seriousness, in my experience the Neottec glue does suck. It is way too thin and does not seem to adhere very well. Perhaps try a different glue and make sure the glue dries clear before putting the blade and rubber together.

Alternatively you could get a lighter blade or a thinner sponge. Some online stores like tt11 or princett will accommodate your request for specific weight for a blade or try to get close. You can buy the same blade you have now except a lighter version. Nowaday I ask for 85 gram blades or...

You can also prevent the handle from getting nasty again after cleaning by treating it with clear Watco's Danish Oil. It retains the natural wood feel unlike poly finishes which can make it feel plasticky.

Butterfly will just make a blade very similar to what he is used to and maybe come up with a model named after him. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=180217766538639 at 1:45

That means if you're good enough and don't mind being called dirty, you can legally give your opponents literal knuckle balls or backhand balls as a means to vary the speed and spin and still have offensive rubbers on both sides of your blade.

There is nothing stopping ITTF from uploading the high quality captures off the hard drive after the fact to youtube. There are probably editing software that saves its editing points that can reproduce the edited footage on the high quality video data. Someone familiar with live video editing...

If it's drying maybe the material being used to bottle up the glue isn't as airtight as it should be. It might be permeable to ammonia or other gases to some extent especially if it is made from plastic.

WBG should not dry out if the container is air tight. What glue are you using? Is the the glue being exposed to very low temperatures?

It was at 38:18 for me. I can't believe they kept that clip in but it was gold. Goes to show not all the pros drink the Butterfly koolaid even if they are sponsored. Had to switch the VPN to a german server to see the clip though.

If I may throw in my 2 cent, I would not suggest the Tibhar Stratus Power Wood at all if you want control. Mine is the fastest 5 ply blade I have tried and it feels non-linear probably due to it's flex vs speed rating. I think you need a certain amount of stiffness for a fast blade to have control.

I don't even know what to say to a $100 rubber you need to boost to get the best out of it. Of course it's weaknesses will be fixed with the new 09C $100 rubber the Butterfly just released. SMH.

@EmRatThich, can you clarify is it permitted for someone to post their own recordings of an ITTF match or is that something they will go after as well?

Could it be possible the plastic balls have reduced the perceived speed difference between Chinese rubbers and "faster" rubbers? In the past I've felt a large difference but I've since felt that the unboosted Chinese rubbers seems to be less handicapped by it's lack of speed.

I do not suggest using a T11 unless you are a pips player doing smashes. It is fast and has very little dwell time so it not easy to loop with. I would upgrade to some harder rubbers that are less spin sensitive like the Nittaku Fastarc G-1 and keep using the Allplay for now. The T11 is too...

I think its a stupid move on ITTFs part even if fan made recordings are illegal. The idea is to promote the sport by whatever means and this kind of small minded actions will only create distaste for ITTF and reduce the footprint of table tennis in the youtube community. They are trying to...

Unless someone else knows, it's a bit risky getting a blade you know nothing about. Better pay a bit more to get something you've tried before or is well reviewed. The Yasaka extra offensive and Sweden Extra is only 29 and 25 euro respectively on tabletennis11.

> I still don't get how an untrained ZJK could win against someone who defeated Wang Chuqin and Liang Jingkun. Thats because ZJK is part of the golden era in Chinese TT. None of the players after him and Ma Long has thus far shown the kind of talent his generation has.
