At the moment you should just stick with what you got, change the rubbers if they're worn out (Xiom vega/omega series for example, something with good control despite being tensors) but keep the blade. If you're not comfortable with looping underspin balls new equipment isn't going to get you...

eacheng.net, not as many designs though. At least they have 2011 WTTC shirts and 2012 olympic shirts, but the real ones are hard to find. For all I care buy the shirt(s) you like whether fake or not, it's not like you're going to stop the counterfeit production by a single man boikot anyway. I...

They are reliable in the sense that you will get what you order but at those prices the clothing they sell is definately fake. So the question is do you want authentic Li-ning apparel or something that just looks like it. Keep in mind that the quality of the materials can be lower in the...

I think there are 16 years between the signing of STIGA´s Liu Guoliang and Xu Xin.

You should always check tabletennisdb if you want to know about equipment. Nittaku hurricane is basically a dhs hurricane topsheet with a softer japanese style sponge. You can read some reviews here: http://www.tabletennisdb.com/rubber/nittaku-dhs-hurricane-3.html Edit: oops only one review...

The one who didn't serve first in the 1st game starts serving in the second game. It doesn't matter who wins the games, the first server changes in each game. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Tensor is a registered trademark of ESN. Tenergys aren't tensors. They have their own "spring sponge" technology. There is a very informative topic about this in the OOAK forums. I hope it's ok to share the link here:http://ooakforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=3906

If you talk about the big guns of table tennis you have to compare them to the big guns of tennis. I am sure all the decent tennis players are sponsored and who cares about having to pay for a cuple of nights at a hotel if you get $20,000 basically just for participating in a "small" tour event.

Blades aren't ittf approved and only the rubber's topsheet needs to be approved. So you can use any sponge you want if the total thickness of the rubber stays under 4mm.

Just watched the match of Ma Long vs Daniel Habesohn since I just missed it live. Ma was really struggling with his serve return and it seemed that Habesohn was removing his free hand out the the way really late if at all. I have never seen Ma Long chopping no-spin/sidetopspin serves like that...

I could watch Ma Long and Zhang Jike playing all day, rather without the music though.. Too bad these videos are always so short.

The reason I am trying to get some kind of guidelines from this forum is that there is no local table tennis store. Of course I'm trying every blade I can at the club but the range of blades used there isn't that wide. I know you're trying to help and I appreciate it, but in my situation it...

Thanks guys, I appreciate your answers but I don't really like grip tape so I would like to keep getting comparisons between different brands and blade models. I can use grip tape if I must but I would rather use it as a last resort and first try to find a blade that suits me as it is, "naked"...

Hi guys, I'm currently using DHS PG7 with a flared handle. I feel the handle is too thin for me to grip comfortably and causes some trouble in changing between forehand and backhand. I tried a friend's Butterfly Primorac off- and the handle(FL) was a bit thicker and felt a lot more comfortable...

Of course he is not unbeatable but this time he had a physical disadvantage because he got injured against Masato Shiono less than a week ago. He quit the tournament after that match to not make it worse. He had to attend the trials because it is such an important event. You can see in the...

Well, we shouldn't forget that Ma Long got injured at the Qatar open less than a week before meeting Fan Zhendong at the trials. I'm not saying Fan Zhendong didn't deserve to win the match but he certainly wasn't facing the best Ma Long at the table. That's why I also wouldn't call it the...

Of course the spin is weaker if you only use body rotation vs body, arm and wrist. But you can also try how much spin can you get if you hold your body and arm totally still and just use your wrist to get spin. I bet the spin will be even weaker than with only body rotation. In the end a good...

What I'm trying to say is that using your body actually makes is simpler. At first you don't even need to separately use your arm and wrist at all if you don't want to. That is because as you may have noticed your arm is connected to your body and will move when you move your body. Just try it...

I have to disagree with you on this one. Using the body is what gives you control when trying to get good spin because you don't need to swing your arm and wrist so aggressively since they are allready moving due to body rotation. It's the same as in every other stroke in table tennis; if the...
