  1. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    Very interested to see how this will play out. Makes sense considering she's forehand oriented. Also brings a new type of funky rubber player to the table since the Indian girls right now are all backhand oriented. Sreeja probably has the best forehand but nowhere near as dynamic and athletic as...
  2. Table Tennis Clubs in Seoul

    Anyone knows clubs in Seoul that welcome outsiders? Would be fun to hit a few with locals when I visit.
  3. Critique my game [Shakehand FH SP BH Inv]

    Basically in the title. Most of my training involves 1-1 sessions around 3-4 times a week with friends of similar levels and we'll attempt to do drills for about 1.5 hours before moving onto a practice match. I get matchplay practice with other players about twice a week at different clubs...
  4. How to get WTT Star Contender Tickets

    Does anyone know how to get tickets to WTT Star Contenders? I'm specifically looking at WTT Star Contender Bangkok happening this July, but I realised that other than Singapore Smash, all other events do not have a button that directs you to tickets. Searching ticketing on the WTT site only...
  5. Table Tennis in Bangkok

    I'm planning to visit Bangkok for around 2-3 weeks in February. Some people have already told me that there are regular sessions at Central Plaza shopping mall, but just wanted to check if anyone else will be in town/knows places to play. Thanks!
  6. Penang Table Tennis

    I'm going to Penang in December. And club recommendations?
  7. What's a better backhand rubber than G1 that's not Dignics?

    As in title. I play close to the table and I'm finding that my backhand shots with G1 on Viscaria lack power. Part of that is technique which I've been working on but when I borrow my friend's Dignics rackets the difference is immediately noticeable. I'm still not ready to commit to Dignics...
  8. Tacky Chinese Rubber on the Backhand?

    I've been exclusively using cheap, tacky Chinese rubbers on the forehand because I'm a poor student who doesn't want to blow $50++ on a rubber every 3 months. Today at a practise session I flipped my racket just for fun to play pips on the forehand and inverted on the backhand. Surprisingly I've...
  9. Clubs in Seoul

    I'll be in Seoul for the next four months for student exchange. Is there anyone who lives there/has been there before who can point me to affordable clubs to play?
  10. Forehand Rubber for TSP Hino Carbon Power

    For my main blade I'm using Xiom Omega VII Asia on XIOM Feel HX Pro which I feel is great for blocking and counter driving. However, I'm trying to learn to loop consistently during rallies which I find that I'm unable to do on my backup blade which has Xiom Omega VII Asia on TSP's Hino Carbon...
  11. Me playing (transitioning to backhand pips)

    Critique my technique Some footage from a tournament that I played in recently. I've played with pips on the forehand my whole life but I recently flipped my racket around to have inverted on the forehand instead. There are still many instances where I'm clearly using SP forehand and inverted...
  12. Yui Hamamoto moving to Austria

    Apparently this is a thing now? Not sure how true these allegations are, seeing how there's only a clip of her playing Seo Hyowon plus some text in Japanese, but it sounds probable given the depth of talent within the Japanese national team now. We could be seeing an exodus of second-string...
  13. The Weakest Style

    Some background about me: I am a flat-hitting attacker with short pips on the forehand and inverted rubber on the backhand. My main weapon is to punch the ball from both sides although I do have a skinny opening backhand loop that throws people off occasionally. One thing that has always...
