It's been over a year. I don't follow the TT news closely, but I am not aware of any update. This was shocking news to me that 2 new Olympic gold medalists had to be away from TT. And it was even more shocking to me that nobody in the CNT came out and supported their best 2 players. Something...

This is the first time I play with the same rubber (Fast Arc G1) on both sides. Black on FH; red on BH. I play like 3 to 5 hours per week. now after 3 to 4 months, I just tried playing the red side on FH, it feels different. I didn't compare them when they were new. But now the black side is...

Do I need to worry about blade maintenance? After playing, I would use water to clean the rubbers. And usually I would get a bit of water at the edge of the blade. I believe some amount would be absorbed into the wood. And over some period of time, would that affect the wood and/or the adhesive...

Hi everyone. I don't play tournaments, but I am probably around 1500 USATT. I like to attack with loops on both FH and BH. I am rather powerful, so on a good day I could loop like a 1800 player. But I really struggle with defense and blocking. My blocking consistency is like a 1200 beginner. I...
