I noticed there are quite a lot of mixed-country doubles happening now at the China Smash 2025. What pairings would you want to see happen most in the future? I would like: Wang Chuqin / Hashimoto Honoka Hugo Calderano / Wang Manyu Sun Yinsha / Hina Hayata Wang Manyu / Miwa Harimoto

I've recently been testing out the Evolution MXP and MXD, and I find that they both have a low, rather uncomfortable throw angle. I would say they are similar to Tenergy 64 in throw angle. I see so many people using Evolution. It never really occurred to me how low the throw angle is. So...

I have a friend traveling to China this month, so I asked him to pick me up some rubbers. Are there some China-only rubbers that are not typically available outside? What are some good recommendations?

I was just watching this old ZJK vs WLQ match. I was struck by how different the old matches look to today's matches. The old matches seemed to be much more of a "dance". There is more in and out movement, there is more kills and winners. There seems to be a more strategic movement and...

I think the prime era of men's TT dominance is slowly fading. Decades before, Chinese families saw TT training as a way to escape poverty, get a education, and just send their children off to the state training system. But today's China is different. You can go work for tech companies or...

Does anybody have experience with using different boosters in combination? For example using regular Seamoon and also Haifu National? Does using a combination have a good effect? Is there a particular order that has a better effect? For example, I was thinking it makes sense to apply 1 layer...

Cool video. He talks about physical training for 2000 players, but he doesn't mention serve/receive. I think receive in particular is the most difficult part of TT. One of the hardest parts of receive is just remembering your opponent's serve. It's like you have to create a database of...

I see Telson 100 is $18 for upcoming Aliexpress sale. That is the cheapest I have seen it. It was $30 when it first came out. Might be a good opportunity to get a sheet. But is the throw angle low for others who have tried it? I tried it on my friend's paddle last week and I felt the throw...

Recently one method that I have been enjoying is that I play a normal scoring match with partner but with unique rule: 1) He does all the serves 2) Any serve miss is automatic let I do this to help me focus on returning well. My goal is just to either loop his serve well or push his serve well...

I never know what to do when server does heavy pendulum (side or side-under) to the area between my stomach and right elbow. It's too left to hit with my forehand. It's too fast and still too left to step around and hit fh well. But because of the sidespin, its also very awkward to hit with...

Anybody know this brand and is it good? Is this a thin core long 5 type or a thick core long5x type?

I just boosted 2 rubbers, the Rxton 5 and the Rxton 1. I see that the Rxton 5 curled heavily after 1 thin layer of booster, but the Rxton 1 didn't curl much after a thick layer of booster. Why do some rubbers curl more and some curl less?

Other than Long 5, what are some good, cheap, popular 160mm Chinese blades? I have found that I much prefer this size over common 158mm size, which is prefer over the 157mm size. I haven't seen many options. Yinhe blades generally are 157mm, and also tend to run stiff. Sanwei blades feel...

Moon 12 was one of my favorite rubbers. I put it in Ziploc for a year or so and recently just tried putting it on again. Its totally different from how i remember it. The rebound is lower, but the biggest thing is the throw angle is lower. Instead of rebounding high off the paddle, it kinda...

My friend said his company is giving him some budget to order table tennis equipment. He asked me what are some cool hot new rubbers from aliexpress that I wouldn't normally get for myself. Any good recommendations for fh and bh? Im thinking: Xuperman Powerplay X, DF Polestar for fh Loki...

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLg6HYr Anyone tried this rubber? What is it meant to be? Why is the black rubber different sponge and topsheet than the red?

https://a.aliexpress.com/_m01xzoR I stummbled on this blade, the Sanwei 968. Is this meant to be a clone of w968? The construction looks quite different though. Anyone tried this or have info?
