Hey guys. So as you know Butterfly sponsors Timo Boll so they have released several blades named after him, including the original, Timo Boll blade, the BollTriCarbon, a more amateur series (Timo Boll All, Timo Boll ALL+, Timo Boll OFF-, and Timo Boll Forte/OFF). But the one I want to discuss...

Hey guys. I was thinking about what players and teams have the biggest rivalries between each other. I mean for instance Zhang Jike and Wang Hao have been against each other for the past several WTTC and TTWC (Table Tennis World Cup). When I'm talking about rivalries I'm referring to it at a...

Today while I was biking downhill I pulled the brakes on my front wheel too suddenly and I flipped over my bike and it crashed. I was bleeding on my right knee and right elbow. Those were the major injuries but I'm not bleeding as badly on my left elbow and on a small area on my right wrist...

Hey guys! I just got my brand new Timo Boll W5 blade and my new rubber sheets of Tackifire Drive, I haven't assembled it yet but here are the pictures of the new blade. Timo Boll W5 Forehand Timo Boll W5 Backhand Butterfly Tackifire Drive Rubbers

So I was playing at my club when someone told me that my grip was incorrect. He said that my grip was "forehand oriented" and the angle forced me to be better at my forehand and wasn't very strong on my backhand. The grip he told me to do seemed to make me have to point downwards to help me with...

So originally I was going to order a Timo Boll ALC (FL) but the site I ordered them from was out of stock of Timo Boll ALC's, so I decided to get the Timo Boll W5 blade instead. I am really anticipating it's arrival and I am excited to get it but I am curious as to what you think I'll be missing...

Hey, so I was doing some research on the past few winners of the WTTC in the doubles category and I noticed something. In the past 10 years all the doubles teams winners have had one left handed player and one right handed one (for the exception of Kong Linghui and Wang Hao in 2005) for...

Hey guys, I've made some table tennis wallpapers (1366 x 768) representing different countries. Please use them for whatever you want but please comment on what you think and tell me if there's any other countries you want to see. (Sorry for pasting them so large)

Hey guys. So this time around I was wondering if you had any superstitions or habits you do before playing a game or during? Me for instance. I get paranoid and think that the point that will make the sum of the two scores equal 11 is the point that has an impact on the winner or the game (for...

So I was watching some old re-runs of table tennis games on youtube. And I noticed this one game where Joo Sae-Hyuk uses a truly great shot that seems impossible. The game is this one and the shot is at the end of the rally that begins at 5:24. I can barley get the ball to go around the net and...

So obviously the majority of major table tennis players are offensive. Although there are a few major defensive table tennis players such as JOO Se-Hyuk and CHEN Weixing (Even though Joo is WAY better than Chen). However I seem to have trouble finding other players that are defensive. Why do you...

So I currently use Butterfly Tackifire Drive, I am now recently thinking of replacing it on my forehand and it's a tie between DHS Memo 2 and Yasaka Mark V. I'm an looping attacker player who likes to get far away from the table and loop the ball over in slow topspins. From what I've heard the...

So I use a racket that was pre-made, it is a Grubba Carbon FL with Tackifire Drive rubber on both sides. Although I've been using this for a LONG time, about a year or 2. So now I want to change the rubbers on my racket. I'm thinking of DHS Memo 2 on the forehand and Butterfly Sriver on the...

So I was watching a replay of Zhang Jike and Xu Xin's game in 2013 WTTC and I noticed that after a while during the game Xu Xin's racket must've not met requirements for the game because in the middle of the game I saw him go off and trim the edges off of his rubbers. I was wondering why he did...

Hi. So I am a shakehanded player, but for the users who use the penhold grip. What kind of blade do you use. The Chinese penhold of the Japanese penhold. Chinese Penhold: Japanese Penhold: From what I've read the Japanese penhold has your fingers extended straight down the blade while the...

Hey guys, I was wondering on what you would think on Xu Xin going to the Olympics in 2016 Rio. He is the current number 1 player, but I know Ma Long was around that time too, before he was bumped down and then the Chinese team decided not to use him in the singles and they kept him in the Team...

So I noticed that the Butterfly Table Tennis site was lying about some of the equipment that their players use. For instance, they claim that Zhang Jike uses the Zhang Jike Blade, and Tenergy 64 Rubber on both sides even though he uses Viscaria FL With Tenergy 64 and Neo Hurricane III. And again...
