  1. RIP Bty Iolite Neo broken and discontinued looking for replacement recommendations

    In the database of blades, I found these with the same composition. I'm not sure if it is 100% accurate, but...
  2. SpinSight users post your experience and reviews

    I think the rubber manufacturers still don't realise how this system could impact sales. If Spinsight becomes popular and players realise the difference between new and old rubber, they will start buying more material. On the other hand, customers will have a real tool with which to test the...
  3. SpinSight users post your experience and reviews

    I wrote to Spinsight to ask about availability, but unfortunately, the system is still not available in my country. I would like to test my service, as I mainly use short pips and want to know how much spin I can generate.
  4. Why doesn't Nittaku fastarc G-1 spin as much as my soft tensor rubber can?

    If you don't have a coach, record your training session and watch the video carefully. Check online coaching videos that show the correct technique for your movement and stroke, and try to correct it. If you feel that there has been no improvement, record another training session and post your...

    Is Dang Qiu using a Viscaria?
  6. TPB Penhold Short Pips or Inverted

    You should consider that switching from inverted to SP just to improve your blocking with TPB could take more time than developing your RPB. I play Penholder SP and yes, the TPB block is easier and more effective with SP. You can push and attack more, not just defensively. The chop block and...
  7. Iconic Characteristics of Iconic Players

    LGL: Service, first RPB (probably other players did it before, but LGL is the first famous one). ZJK: Backhand flick. Ma Long: Forehand Technique. Jorgen Persson: Backhand almost turning to their back. JM Saive: Pulling the short pants almost to the hips. Ryu Seung-min: The best footwork of...
  8. Penhold Xu Xin vs Liu Guoliang Forehand

    I think you're right that there aren't enough resources. Most of them are in Chinese or Japanese, and the AI translations aren't good enough yet to make the explanations understandable.
  9. What's a good blade for CPEN: SP FH and RPB BH

    Hi! It's nice to see someone here who knows about the SP penholder. I have some questions for you that you might be able to help me with. I bought several SPs looking for one that fits my style (while also trying to save money). Maybe you have played with some of them and can give me your...
  10. What's a good blade for CPEN: SP FH and RPB BH

    As an SP penholder, I would recommend the 802-40 (greenbeanmachine's recommendation), which offers the best value for money on the market. I play with a Clipper CR blade (no WRB), which is really good for flat hits and for playing with rubber medium-far from the table. I have also played with...
  11. Penhold Xu Xin vs Liu Guoliang Forehand

    I'm an SP penholder and LGL is my favourite player. I have watched several hours of his matches and training. It's really difficult to compare the two FHs because there are many points to consider. Material: LGL played with an SP TSP Spinpips, which was banned in the early 2000s because it...
  12. Should I boost my SP? (Alert: Long text!!)

    From a technical and tactical standpoint, I'm better now. Of course, I was faster and in better physical condition before. Keep in mind that in 2000, I didn't have access to the information I have now, like YouTube. Now, I have several training videos of Liu Guoliang, Jian Jialiang, and He...
  13. Should I boost my SP? (Alert: Long text!!)

    Hi guys, I need your help with this. I’m not sure if applying a boost to my short pips will work. I’m a penholder short pips player (RPB), and I haven't played for several years (since 2001). Two years ago, I started playing again, and everything changed: set 11 points, ball 40 mm, service...
  14. Best matches of contemporary table tennis?

    One of my favorite matches was more than 15 years ago but I think that your friend should watch it...the Olympic final 2004 Ryu Seung Min vs Wang Hao. Every time I see it, I feel exhausted only seeing Ryu's footwork... Gauzy v/s Liang Jingkun...magic!
  15. Post your latest EJ purchase

    I have heard different opinions about the Primorac Carbon...is a bit thin, it is light, it doesn't have good control...but never that it is slow XD
  16. Stiga Clipper cc

    I'm looking for the same blade but CS...the only place where I saw it is on Taobao.
  17. Who are your top 10 table tennis players?

    Ryu Seung-Min is a legend. I think that he had the best footwork of TT history, and watching his games is amazing...but only I could select 10.
  18. Who are your top 10 table tennis players?

    My top 10 players, based on my personal opinion and playing style (I'm a penholder SP): 1 Liu Guoliang 2 Ding Yi 3 He Zhi Wen 4 Toshio Tasaki For the show and the control of the spin: 5 Kenta Matsudaira 6 Xu Xin 7 Simon Gauzy For the mindset and the quality of the technique: 8 Jan Ove...
  19. Who are your top 10 table tennis players?

    I'm curious about why you think LSD is arrogant. Maybe there's something I'm missing. Regarding WCQ, I agree with you. I think he's cheating with his serves. But what I hate most are the WCQ fans. They scream during every match and never shut up! I don't have anything against him, but I hope he...
  20. New $215 course from Joao Geraldo

    I would pay that amount (or maybe more) only if Liu Guoliang offered an online course (in English) explaining the technicalities of a penholder SP. There is one in Chinese...and no idea what they are telling.
