  2. Cho! Cho le!

    Although, I thought it is a Chinese term or at least had a root from Chinese language, which is what I have heard from people online, I have seen athletes around the world choing. Is the theory just wrong, or has it evolved into part of the table tennis celebrating tradition/culture worldwide?

  5. What is the significance of ±3° in ENS rubber hardness

    I have been window-EJing (the window shopping of EJing?) for a while now. I noticed that rubbers from TSP and Victas, for example Regalis, Super Ventus, V>15, VJC>07 are stated to have x±3° OF hardness (whatever X is). How much does the difference in hardness affect it's playing...
  6. Questions about aliexpress

    Ture. So basically only buy it when prices are similar. Too expensive? Buy from tt11. Too cheap? It must be Fake. However, I thinking some of the Chinese TT equipments can be cheaper while still being real. Not sure about cheap non-chinese equipment though. Probably fake.

    So you have both straight and flared. Which one do you like more? Are they the large handle version? If not do you think that they are too small?
  12. Choosing equipments based on my style

    I think the confusion, at least for me, is difference between "Chinese vs European loop" or a better way to say it, the"full arm vs half arm loop" as different tactics. As far as I understand the difference is in the distance of play, the power and the intention behind the stroke. You are...

  14. Choosing equipments based on my style

    Thank you. But one more question please. Isn't it just what you call a "drive", which is close to the table, more about taking the ball early to borrow your opponent's power, and where your shots land, insead of power(because you can't. you don't have the time generate it yourself.)?

I use Nittaku HP3T and Stiga Genesis 2 M which are both tacky and when I tried to "brush loop" the ball with the Vario, the ball would go straight into the net. I...

  20. Choosing equipments based on my style

    Max sponge thickness can be anything above 2.0mm, as long as the combined thickness of the sponge and topsheet does not exceed 4.0mm. In other words, it depends on each brand and rubber.
