    I heard the 1967 World Singles Champion Hasegawa was the best TPG (Traditional Penhold Grip) J-Pen lobber of his time (I heard he used to be shakehander went penholder with finger stright up teh middle of the racket back, which is the worst for any beginner ?) Any others ? Any RPG (Reverse...
  3. C-Pen vs J-Pen vs K-Pen

    Trying understand the differences based on trends leading to 2023 C-pen is most discussed it seems due to RPH being pioneered by Liu Guoliang K-Pen seems to be least discussed ?

  5. Precise measurement of sponge, pips, blade etc. parameters

    Most newbies or even high level players do not comprehend how table tennis is a sport of super precision down to sub microscopic dimensions. Of course hardbat & sandpaper players say this is bad for the sport & I agree about 10% but that is for another discussion. Let me just say this though >...
  6. Should there be totally separate rules & regulations for ITTF & WTT ?

    If you look at the WTT Event Calendar for 2023, you will notice that the focus of WTT is only for youth & pro & non-veteran players. This is perfectly fine & nothing wrong with focusing on the present & future. And given that WTT seems to be only on Pro or future pro player development (again I...
  7. Most basic ethical tenet of a table tennis racket

    "My racket (blade & rubbers & design) is holier than thou & that makes me a far superior & ethical athlete & human being than you & therefore that also makes my racket above & beyond any need for chemical & visual inspection by my opponents or umpire" PS :- When I say "My" it does not refer to...

    Since it seems like the $5000 + that I offered for Linda Bergstrom & others will go unclaimed, I have decided to offer this unclaimed funds to any national affiliate of ITTF (such as USATT, TTCanada,DTTB etc) to submit a Golden Proposal to the IITTF Equipment Committee at the Durban WITTC 2023...
  9. Looking for > Magic 77 on steroids

    I am looking for chopping long pips rubbers that will work halfway decent in the 40+ plastic ball era. Currently I am using a Chinese rubber called Magic 77 from China. It seems to the only high aspect ratio super long pips rubber with halfway decent Looper Torture Index. Even though this is the...
  10. Defensive Blades & Rubbers - Hall of Shame

    I am starting this thread to give an idea to defensive players (mostly away from the table choppers) as to how clueless & out of touch the manufactureres are when it comes to making rubbers & blades for choppers on the 40+ plastic ball world. Most of these discussions may also apply to close to...

  12. $5000 US Open offer invitation for Linda Bergstrom of Sweden

    First of all let me say that I am very impressed with 2 week final deadline for US Open. I think it used to be much longer.

  16. Penhold in Europe

    The TPB (deadball) punch block is a very good stroke & a must have for ANY penholder TPB or RPB whether Jpen or Cpen or Kpen IMO , theerfore, it is a huge mistake for any coach not to teach this to any student RPB or TPB I have not seen many higher level players who play both TPB & RPB a...
