  1. Hit a wall with my BH on OSP Virtuoso Off- – Rubber recommendations or time to change blades?

    Xiom has a lot of relatively soft and quite bouncy rubbers that can provide spin and speed. I believe even Vega Europe is still relevant, but all those Omega N series have a Euro version, and those are usually around 42.
  2. 20th Asian Games Aichi-Nagoya 2026, 9/19-10/4

    The serve they faulted did not look bad.. but the last two serves in the match were 200% illegal :LOL:
  3. 20th Asian Games Aichi-Nagoya 2026, 9/19-10/4

    Faulting a serve on matchpoint.. wow :censored:

  7. WTT Contender Panagyurishte 2026 8 - 13 September 2026

    No tables, no autograph sessions, no merch stalls 😅 But for the feeder last year there were a couple of autograph sessions (I'm not sure if those were not internal initiatives of the local hosts though..) Merch stalls - some years some of our local (Bulgarian) shops would open a small shop in...
  8. WTT Contender Panagyurishte 2026 8 - 13 September 2026

    Can't say about anything interesting.. But it's also hard to judge what is interesting, and what's not, as I've been on this event multiple times and am used to see stuff :) What I can definitely say, that going to such tournament is a great experience and I would encourage everyone to try and...
  9. WTT Contender Panagyurishte 2026 8 - 13 September 2026

    As I am a local and historically I've visited almost all ITTF/WTT tournaments in Panagyurishte (except for one) I can say that this year's event was one of the worst experience as a spectator there :( It was great that this year it was a Contender event (it was a Feeder before (and before that...
  10. FZD ALC vs Viscaria are the differences actually significant? My measurements surprised me

    On that thought... I believe this is quite an interesting video. They also do a blind test in a next video between the blade that was selected and another one..
  11. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    So somehow this seems to be the thread for random tt stuff.. As a TT enjoyer I could not not share this with you guys (should be timestamped to 27:24) :)
  12. Europe Smash 2026, Malmö, 8/8-16

    What a match! Ranefur made some incredible combos!
  13. FH Rubber upgrade recommendation for FZD ALC (Club/Provincial Level)

    Actually I would second that. My training partner recently switched from Ovtcharov (with Zyre) to FZD ALC with Zyre.. And, what can I say.. Zyre feels great on this blade. It's crisp, it has power, spin, everything. Also it seems to be really durable :)
  14. Modern rubbers are killing the rotation in the topspin play

    For me the answer is simple - the ball.The proof - ask any defender (or remember playing a defender with the old ball and now). It just so much easier with the new ball. That's where I felt the difference first, and then later I discovered that with the new ball it's also easier to...
  15. United States Smash 2026, Los Angeles, 6/26-7/5

    10 hours time difference is one thing (and it's not like we can do anything about it).. But 2 minutes "Highlights" is just absurd! :mad::mad::mad:
  16. What blade does Gionis actually use?

    I agree. I would also interpret it like every day during tournaments (which still sound a lot). If he actually changes them daily (for training also), then maybe the Feint Long 2 model is still alive because of him :LOL:
  17. What blade does Gionis actually use?

    He mentioned that he changes his pips every day () ;) :LOL: Edit: actually the pips rubbers are called "teeth" in Bulgaria :LOL: :LOL:
  18. Best Chinese sticky rubbers that don't need boosting

    Actually want to share my experience with Loki Rxton 9 (Blue sponge). Coming from Battle 2 National I would say this: * The Loki has better grip (it just does not let the ball slip at any angle) * The Loki is much slower * The Loki has a much higher arc and feels safer I would say that the Loki...
  19. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    Alexis could not finish 1 match ball - tough, but it's not like there's no pressure, right? But LJK - omg!! Being battered for two games like this, feeling the immense pressure, not playing very well, somehow winning the 3rd game, then allowing a comeback from 10:3 to 10:10 and still winning...
