  1. What tt rubbers and blades do you think are the most overpriced that are still being produced?

    By that I mean compared to the competition the quality or performance is subpar for the price edit: don’t start to list extremely limited or collectors’ items. I’m stricly speaking of stuff still being in production and available for the public.
  2. Why’s CNT pushing Wang Chuqin so much instead of trying to make a new goat of Fan Zhendong who’s still the best player currently?

    I get that they want to push younger players but they let Ma Long play so long, why don’t they do the same for Fan Zhendong?
  3. Is this an original Timo Bill ALC?

    No box unfortunately.
  4. Zhang Jike says inner carbon blades degrade faster than outer carbon blades. Why is that?

  5. Looking for a rubber similar to Victas V15 sticky but tackier around the same hardness.

    So looking for something between ESN 50-55 hardness with the same or similar speed of V15 sticky but tackier. Open to any brand, thanks in advance. If possible, longer durability so Donic Bluegrip C2 and Xiom C55 are out.
  6. Ma Long became a vice president of the CTTA

    Wang Liqin became the president of the CTTA. Sadly, now it’s a 100% that Ma Long is not coming back but this is a new start for him. Thanks to that we may see some improvements in the CTTA because of that.
  7. Any blades still in production similar to Xiom Hugo HAL or Butterfly Moonbeam?

    Neither are continued and after Hugo’s win I’m very interested in the blade.😶
  8. How to return the hook serve if I can’t see the contact point

    I had a match today with a guy and I could read all his serves except some of his hook serves. I’m left handed he’s right handed. I was standing at the dead middle of the table so I could see the contact point better but even then I couldn’t see some of his hook serves, especially the kicker...
  9. How do I save this old Timo Boll Spirit?

    So I found this black tag no serial number pre 2006 blade on fb marketplace for 80 bucks which I believe is a sensible price for it. Now my questions are: 1. how the hell does a blade get to be in such a state? It looks like it’s been chewed around. 2. How can I clean the wings and the handle...
  10. When do you think the Timo Boll blade series will be discontinued?

    I think they’ll be here for years at the least but I’m interested in your thoughts
  11. Did Lin Gaoyuan get sponsored by a new brand? His backhand rubber has purple sponge

    I noticed this at last weak’s Asian table tennis cup. i know that double fish promotes some stuff with his face but its hard to believe he uses something from them and he’s no longer sponsored by Butterfly so it’s possible he got sponsored by a new brand. Possibly Joola?
  12. How should I return short and low no spin serves that come to my backhand other than pushing them long or slowly flicking them being left handed?

    Well, other than blocking the backhand is my weaker side. A. Obviously I can’t kill these balls with flicks because they’re very short and low so at best I can slowly flick them which work if they don’t kill my flicks with their third ball. (Open to ideas to where and what spin to flick the...

  14. Andrew Garfield (spiderman) invests into a Timo Boll W7 blade

    https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1GkJrNKiaJ/?mibextid=wwXIfr Who would’ve thought he loves “Pingpong” so much that he built a proper bat?
  15. DHS poor quality control

    So I’ve bought a new Hurricane Long 5 I’m happy because it’s 92g and has a rebound percentage of 69% (~1400Hz). But the quality is highly questionable. In the middle there are lines which look like they were artificially carved but it’s actually going outward in 3D instead of dipping inward so I...
  16. Adam called us out for joking about Fan Zhendong being a swiftie?

    0:38 Felt like it was for us TTD members and some redditors perhaps. This is just a fun post btw
  17. Which one is better between Butterfly Lezoline Rifones and the newer Levalis?

    To those who tried both, what are the technical differences? Also, how’s the sizing for them? Are they true to the size?
  18. How hard should I press the durometer (shore O) on the sponge?

    I’ve just tried it on a boosted commercial H3 38 Neo and when I pressed it normally it was around 52-53 but when pressed harder it almost went up to 60. So how hard should I press it?
