Thank you to ever single one of you for your suggestions and explanations! Life got busy so I had to wait a while before getting my new bat (and also before being active on the forum again) I ultimately decided to go with the Appelgren blade, Vega Europe 2.0mm on FH and Hexer Duro 1.7mm on BH...

I don't under$tand how anyone can $till be confu$ed a$ to why the Qatar Open exi$t$.

Thank you all! I appreciate all the helpful feedback. :) Applegreen Allplay + Vega Europe/Pro it will be then. There is a table tennis store sort of close to my town. Will go there next week and test both Vega rubbers with the blade and then get one of them. As it seems right now that'll...

At 25 years old/young I am currently taking up TT again after a break of 6+ years. I played some 5 years before the break on a relatively low to medium level. I need some new equipment now. I'd consider my self sort of a beginner right now, but am very eager to practice seriously to get better...

Hey guys, I played table tennis on a relatively low level in Germany from age 13-18. It was in a small town's club and despite the low level I was serious about my game nonetheless. Then stuff happened (university, moving to a different country etc) and I kinda just stopped playing for about...

Has anyone got a link to a stream Europeans can watch without VPN?' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65nD2Sjz1ow oops found it myself already, nvm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RHImAaqiOk Glad the commentators' voices are only coming through the right side of my ear plugs. The only better way for me to enjoy the matches now would be to have two left sides instead of one

Does anyone have an alternate stream link? I am living in Cyprus and for the first time ever ITTV doesn't allow me to watch one of their streams. Don't know if it's just for the German Open or if this is the norm now... Either way - If anyone has an alternate link it would be GREATLY...

After being down 1-2 I thought it's over and It owould get steam-rolled, but thankfully Ito showed an - at least temporarily - improved mentality until the end. Just wish she actually won his, but oh well. I guess all China WS-finals it is as usual.

The other day I was thinking about which national team I would rank 2nd, 3rd, 4th strongest etc. for the Olympics. I find it really difficult. Especially with the importance of doubles. South Korea, Chinese Taipei, Japan, Germany and to a lesser degree Sweden. Imo, they are all close enough in...

All options seem problematic so I'm calling it now. Japan's men's team for 2020: -Tomokazu Harimoto -Sora Matsushima -some 7-10 year old talent

Just remembered Harimoto/Ishikawa lost to Mizutani/Ito badly with 0-3. Haven't seen the match. Anyone knows what the issue seemed to be? Honestly... I can't say I am mad about this because I still have the faintest hope of Hayata making it into the Olympics. Just wondering if it was mostly TH...

Aaaaaand Hitomi Sato's immune system isn't strong enough either. Another flu victim, it seems.

At the end of the tournament we need a compilation of ball-kid's reactions after points. I have seen at least 3 kids having their minds blown after points. I love that they get as excited about it as I do, haha!

Players who (presumably) have exited due to a too-weak immune system:p: MADARASZ Dora HAN Ying CHEN Szu-Yu AKKUZU Can ? CASSIN Alexandre ? Hopefully the list of flu-victims won't get longer in this tournament.

That is true. I could only think of Yoshimura, but other than doubles he really hasn't much going for him either.

Niwa losing 0-4 to Freitas. At this point I wonder if we will see him in the Olympics.

Game 3 TH-ZLF: The point Harimoto scored to make it 10-10 was absolutely insane (by both players)!

A bit off-topic, but I feel like every other time I see your posts you randomly give tt "lessons" no one asks for, to then proudly say something to the effect of "you are welcome". You seem to be fuller of yourself than a rain barrel after a heavy rainstorm. Just an observation.

I think if you were in Franziska's place, you whole body would shake from being nervous as frick. No offense :P Imo, it's a bit arrogant to make statements like that when you are not in the person's shoes. There are just so many factors that play into these kind of decisions. Also, hindsight...
