  1. How do I play defensive players?

    So I'm an attacker and usually can beat 18-1900 players. However I have such a hard time against defenders. A few guys at my club are defensive guys that are not choppers and don't play pips but they give you back floaters and soft backspin balls. The play defensively and far back. The never...
  2. Multicolor rubbers fading

    It seems the new rubbers coming out only offer the basic red and black now. The manufacturers are not making those crazy multi colored rubbers anymore. I knew when new colors were approved it would be a fad. With multiple thickness and colors each rubber would have an explosion of variants...
  3. New Hayabusa 2024

    It looks like Xiom is bringing back the Hayabusa line for this year. It looks like the handle is slightly thicker around the throat area. Besides a new paint job what's the difference between this new one and the older generation that I love and still using?
  4. Ball dispensers at pro events

    Why don't they put ball dispensers at pro events? It would be a whole lot easier if the assistant umpires didn't have to toss the ball to the server every serve. All they need to do is install a tube or metal rails that hold 10 balls on each side and players would just take the next ball when...
  5. Screwed by AliExpress.... again.

    So I tried to buy some booster off of Aliexpress. It took 6 weeks and supposedly it was "delivered". However I never got anything. Nothing in the mailbox, doorstep, chimney.....nothing. So I tried to start a refund process. Well they require a picture of the product. How in the fk do you...
  6. Contact point on ball

    So I'm using H3 on my FH. What should the contact point be on the ball when hitting forehand loop drive? If I'm hitting to the left should the contact point be at 4 oclock, 3 or 2? I'm told with sticky rubber I should be hitting at 2:00 to maximize forward momentum. Since it's tacky it won't...
  7. Why can't they remove the dust from new balls?

    So I get that when they manufacture the balls they need the dust or chalk for die release when the balls are formed. Why would it be so hard to add a process to the end of the line to brush off that dust before it ships? It would be a very simple machine with huge roller brushes that cleans up...
  8. FS: Timo Boll ZLC Flared blade

    I'm selling my Timo Boll ZLC blade. It's used but in very good condition. $140 Free shipping within US continent.
  9. Longevity of Hybrid rubbers

    So I've played with Hybrids for over a year and tried many different ones. I've used Dragon Grip, Rakza Z, K3, Victas V>22, Blue Grip, Blue Star, Xiom Guang and Ying. I play an average of 9-10 hours a week training as well as games. It seems to me that hybrids don't last as long as...
  10. Why can't we have interchangeable sponge and rubbers top sheets?

    Currently you have to buy the rubber and sponge as a one piece unit. Why can't the sponge and rubber top sheet be purchased separately and combined by the player? You can then choose a Hurricane top sheet with a dignics sponge and have very specific characteristics that is very customized...
  11. What are tactics for men to play women?

    There's a girl in my club that is really good. Probably around 1900. She beats all the other women in the area and can beat most men too. If you play her game which is close to the table and quick short rallies she will out play you due to her quickness. If a man can get her to play back...
  12. Anyone tried Victas V>22 yet?

    Saw the new rubber V>22. Sounds interesting. Just wondered if anyone has tried it yet and what the impressions are.
  13. What is the problem with Stiga rubber supply?

    I've been waiting for new stock on Dragon Grip for close to 6 months on TT11. Now looking on Megaspin it seems they're out of stock as well. I've also noticed that other Stiga rubbers are starting to go out of stock. Has Stiga stopped shipping new rubbers? I saw that they had issues with...
