  1. Sponsorship of retired players

    Based on the posts on this forum, I see a pattern here from various brands: sponsoring famous (and not so famous) retired players. For example: 1. Zhang Jike --> Donic 2. Ma lin --> Tibhar (switching from Yasaka) 3. Danny Heister, Damien Eloi, and others --> Andro And don't forget, Donic...
  2. Different versions of Tibhar Lebesson?

    I own a Tibhar Lebesson from many many years ago. At that time, there was only AN handle so I bought one. Weight is 88.3 grams. Good blade. But I did not use it because the head shape is quite unique, so you can't just swap rubbers from other blades onto it. Last week, I found an used...
  3. Boosting (ZJK opinion)

    I have watched this video previously quite some time ago (before the video was posted here in another topic) but I was quite lazy to bring this up. I know that ZJK created controversy by saying outer-composite blades last longer. But what intrigues me is that his statement about boosting. By...
  4. Modern Sibling of Persson Powerplay???

    Especially for @Der_Echte and @JJ Ng, I have been itching to post this for quite a long time, but I never get the chance to take pictures to support my post. Basically, when I read description of Andro Gauzy BL7, it reminds me of Donic Persson Powerplay (both have "foils"). According to...
  5. Wang Hao is excellent !!!

    I came across a video showing Wang Hao (in disguise) playing against Chinese provincial player. I like Wang Liqin best, but Wang Hao is my favorite also, especially because of his superb RPB. What amazes me is that Wang Hao is actually in better shape (after retired), compared to his playing...

  8. New Butterfly Hadraw 5

    Butterfly's line of products, previously named Hadraw Series (VK, SK, etc.) have been discontinued if I recalled correctly. However, I just saw a new Butterfly Hadraw 5 recently at Butterfly Global Site (website) and I think that it is beautiful. If I asses correctly, it is made of koto -...
  9. XIOM Solo, discontinued?

    Hi, I am just curious, since I own Xiom Solo. It is a good blade but Xiom Offensive S is more popular. However, if I look at Xiom Global site (https://xiom.global/), they don't have Xiom Solo listed in their blades selection. However, at Xiom Europe site, they still list Solo as part of...
  10. Why #19 is illegal?

    I watched a nice video (attached) describing what's legal and what's not in table tennis. I am just wondering why #19 is considered illegal? Toss is high and vertical, ball is not hidden, the only thing is that the player changes from forehand serve to backhand serve. So what is illegal about it?
  11. Is it fair to Ma Long?

    I believe that Ma Long can win the latest WTTC in Houston, if he is allowed to participate. Do you think it is fair to Ma Long since "he is not participating in this event" due to ..... reason?
