  1. TTBL Final Four

    Oh, thanks for notifying. I was following some TTBL matches, but weren't aware the final is happening now. For the results, I think the clubs have proven to be close in strength, beating each other in various combinations throughout the season. So it may depend on the form on the day of the...

    I hope there are no charges against bookshelf or now blade/wood porn. Gesendet von meinem LG-H815 mit Tapatalk
  3. SDC Handmade Blades

    Wow. These pattern of the handle are wooden poetry. Have seen this with olive. But this is something else? Gesendet von meinem LG-H815 mit Tapatalk
  4. Blade upgrade: Carbonado 45 vs 90 vs 145?

    Second that. If loops far from the table are not (yet?) part of your game why adjust the gear to it? On the other hand I remember how much I liked the additional speed the step from an OFF- to OFF and never regretted it. (As an all wood player first numb/dead feeling of some carbon initially...
  5. Andro blade Treiber Q

    Your story somehow reminded me of Sam Dance's in this podcast: The Expert Table Tennis Podcast | #41 – Sam Dance: Karaoke, Patrick Franziska, and Local League on Podbean, check it out! https://www.podbean.com/ea/dir-riuzp-236763f Do you already have some favorite strokes or a sense of what your...
  6. ETTU Champions League 2020/2021

    Wow. 0:4 down in final set (to 6) and still Boll reversed the game. Nerves of steel with all the experience. Gesendet von meinem LG-H815 mit Tapatalk
  7. World Table Tennis Macao 2020

    He definetely did his homework, highlighting some of Falcks weaknesses. E.g. letting him lift the first topspin with the pips which often ended up a bit high and probably not so spinny. So he could just smash it through. Still surprised Xu Xin got so beaten up. Maybe some extra motivation on...
  8. World Table Tennis Macao 2020

    What is this? Someone watched too much tron? [emoji12] - well, let's see I really liked the T2 events. Maybe they pull out sth similar. Gesendet von meinem LG-H815 mit Tapatalk
  9. ITTF Finals 2020

    Franz really found no rhythm. - last tournament he blasted away Jorgic whom he might know from TTBL. The same Jorgic that gave these headaches to the dragon. Gesendet von meinem LG-H815 mit Tapatalk
  10. Return of International TT Matches

    Funny. Exactly same for me. Writing, TT: left hand. Throwing: right hand. (soccer: right foot - Badminton or Tennis are also confusing, have a tendency to pick up racket with right hand, but then I play them with left hand.) Gesendet von meinem LG-H815 mit Tapatalk
  11. Men's World Cup 2020

    Exactly. Just played his first league matches (see eg: https://youtu.be/exf7nvdMzPE), probably not yet fit to compete on international scene. With XX and him missing out, some lefty reduction. Hope silent assasin can murder some. Also wish Franz and Tsuboi will do well... Gesendet von meinem...
  12. List of Players (Game Strategy)

    When I saw player listings trying give some 'style' details, it was 99%: shakehand, offensive, both wing attacker. How does that help distinguish Hugo from Timo, Franz or Simon, who all clearly play very differently? Like with the playing characteristics of rubber and blade to me sticking a...
  13. Stiga Energy Wood V2

    Many thanks for your review! It's really giving a vivid impression of how it should play as also making me want to play it. You briefly mentioned its speed being on par or even faster than Infinity VPS. Are the other playing parameters, ease in blocking & control also similar, i.e would you...
  14. Best Backhand rubber for Andro Treiber CI Off

    So many options. Probably every brand has a softer, spinnier variant. The ones I tried myself were Vega Europe (would recommend) and andro Hexer powersponge - and a Rasanter I also tried before they had these numbers. Probably similar to the R48. Also had a nice amount of spin/grippiness and...
  15. I got coached by Dimitrij Ovtcharov!

    That'd be for backspin, but for topspin didn't you observe the same? drive with almost no spin racket angle is very open. The more spin your opponent puts, the more you have to close the racket, when blocking. Gesendet von meinem LG-H815 mit Tapatalk
  16. I got coached by Dimitrij Ovtcharov!

    I think its just about the amount of spin in the ball. If it goes out you underestimated and didn't close the racket enough. If it goes into the net the ball had lower quality/spin than thought. So in a sense it's OK or even your opponents fault (but to me that really happens seldomnly...
  17. Stiga infinity vps weight balance

    I've read here several times about that handle filling procedure. But honestly till know I haven't given the balance of the blade much thought. Just fell in love with it the first time I played it: that crisp, direct feeling in blocks and all in all not too fast for a mediocre amateur like me. -...
  18. Stiga infinity vps weight balance

    Here a Stiga infinity vps, legend handle. Both sides 2.0, I think, Xiom Vega Pro. Gesendet von meinem LG-H815 mit Tapatalk
  19. Best Brand Over-all?

    Yeah, exactly. A comment-bite title. And it worked. Also with me. Shit. Gesendet von meinem LG-H815 mit Tapatalk
  20. MATCH OF THE SEASON! | TableTennisDaily Team | Ep 7

    This match was really crazy. Such great table tennis, played with passion from both teams. Many at the top of their game. Only found the captain's spirit a bit lacking. Went fishing in his last as if he didn't even believe he could win anymore. But maybe just my impression. Otherwise this was...
