  1. Topsheet recovery experiment

    I've experimented a bit on old sheets which were used for outdoor play. I put baby oil on the topsheet as I've seen players to maintain the grip of their chinese tacky topsheets. All my sheets are multiple years old, worn, damaged by UV and oxidized. I've used only one droplet of baby oil and...
  2. Are Felix and WCQ good tactically?

    Obviously they have overall good skills, but never felt like their plays are too thougthful or interesting. Like they are just plain better at the basic playing skills and reading the incoming balls. What do you think? Who are some players who you think are great at tactics but it's not obvious...
  3. Technique for old folks

    Hi! My father recently grabbed a racket and started to play on our outdoor table. He was a fairly good player in his youth years, but he was always an extremely aggressive player. He is almost 70 now and has some spine issues, but his old reflexes kick in and while didn't get injured yet, I am...
  4. TT11 Blind Rubber Test

    TT11 posted a video them blind testing Zyre, D05, Bluestar a2 and MX-P°50. The results were quite interesting, but I think using an all wood blade made it pointless. The results are very weird and honestly I think anomalies like the Zyre called a soft slow rubber and D05 having extremely low...
  5. Anyone has the Victas V>614 shoes?

    As the title, does anyone have experience with the Victas V>614 shoes? I am mainly interested in their durability. I could get them really cheap, but had bad experiences with similarly priced joola shoes, as they died after a few months of training.
  6. Hungary had a prodigy...

    Hungary had a prodigy, but Croatia has her now. Our incompetent association banned her, sabotaged her (among many of our most talented players), stole her money (yes, literally), saying "she isn't even our most talented player, thinks too much of herself". After years of no change, her family...
  7. WTT 2026 ELO rankings question

    Hello everyone! I started to make an ELO ratings ladder for the WTT circuit players, to see what is the real strength of our favourite players. However, I encountered a problem: since I have to enter the results manually, it takes a lot of time. There aren't many WTT Contender and CHampion...
  8. Contact point on BH

    Hi everyone! I am glueing on new rubbers and I was looking at my old BH rubber. My backhand topspin-topspin shots are probably my weakest area of play and it came to my mind if I should change my contact point to get some more spin and with that more curve=stability. Here is how my contact...
  9. Advice on H3 (qc issue or just the new version?)

    Hi! I will start with my question, details below: Will this change drastically with boosting? This might be a qc issue or natural? Maybe I messed up the glueing? I ordered a H3 39 provincial orange sponge (well, actually I ordered a 40 blue sponge but got this instead). Hybrid rubbers are...
  10. Looking for Rakza Z review

    Hi! Even when I can't playduring the pandemic, Rakza Z took my interest. How does it perform? What I am looking for these informations: -in general, how does it compare to the 09c? Ofc I would like to try out the material pro players like so much, but I can't afford it. So this is a similar...
  11. Camera for recording matches?

    Hi guys, I am planning to record my and my team's matches next season, but I am on a low budget as usual. What specifications are needed for this? Can you recommend specific models?
  12. Revo Nr.3 vs Tibhar Clue vs Xiom Energy

    Hello there! The local TT shop doesn't have the Revo glue and I need glue pretty soon. The alternatives are Tibhar Clue or Xiom Energy. Which do you recommend? Based on the description the Xiom one works similarly to the Revo Nr.3, while the Tibhar is different, but still got a few good reviews...
  13. Low throw

    Hi, I glued my old rubbers to my new blade, which is the same as my previous one, but based on my tests without table my racket has too low throw. These are old rubbers, but they still grab the ball. However when I want to lift the ball it has a very low throw. I haven't removed the previous...
  14. Tips driving against short pips

    Hi, we have a guy in the club who uses short pips on his backhand for attacking. He doesn't use it to just hit or block, but mostly like it would be an inverted with small spin. Regarding his playing level: I am not too familiar with the USATT ratings, but I estimate him around 2400 (mistyping...
  15. Searching for a new blade

    Hi everyone! I will buy a new blade. The options are: the same as my old blade, a hungarian TT store's off blade with texalium composit, koto outer ply. Middle OFF blade, quite woody feel, just enough kick, medium throw. It's like the TB ALC just ALC replaced with Texalium and moved next to the...
  16. World Cadet Challange

    Just a thread to discuss this event. Funny that in the teams challenge event in the first round every team match was 5-0. Asia beat Hopes. Europe beat Africa. N-America beat Fiji-Pacific. L-America beat Oceania. ---------------------- Team Europe has András Csaba, Hungary's top young player...

  19. Shoulder/neck pain

    Hi guys, tonight I woke up with a very bad shoulder/neck pain. (I am infected with calici virus too, so couldn't sleep well) I don't know what might cause it and what should I do. I did all these tests in the video below, but I was negative to all of them. I tried icing, massage, some gentle...
  20. Galaxy V-14

    Hi guys, I see a V-14 blade for sale, but not sure if I want it. I've read some reviews and I tend to buy it, but I am interested in your opinion: -this one is 89gr. I want something little faster than a Timo ALC (and maybe a little more stiff, but that's not that important). It will be faster...
