  1. 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?
  2. 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...

  4. Question about boosters

    Is there any brand that sells non-carcinogenic boosters? I have tried to google it but people mainly focus on whether the amount of such chemical is detectable or not, instead of the existence of it. I don't care about the ITTF shit and how little there is. I just want to know if there is any...
  5. Question on stepping around

    It is a commonly use strategy to hit harder because forehand inherently hit harder, add deception on placement and cover a weak backhand due to bad technique of the backhand. What I don't understand is that why is stepping around an exclusive thing for forehand? Now, assume that your forehand...
  6. Observation on blade designs of various well-known brands(controversial...probably)

    As I dig research deeper into table tennis blades, I noticed different brands tend to have a certain style, for better or for worse. You may have a different opinion on aesthetic but just so you know. You are wrong. Just kidding. :rolleyes: (Surprise! It is a generalisation, which is not...
  7. They don't sell Donic anymore?!!

    TT11 is basically the biggest online TT shop that has pretty damn fast shipping and the biggest variety of product I have seen so far. Why don't they sell donic anymore?:(:mad: Let's hope that it's temporary.

  10. Forehand power vs Backhand power

    I don't know if it is just an illusion or reality but for most player I have seen, they usually have a more powerful forehand than their backhand counter part. By the way, when I say powerful, I mean force and speed but not accuracy and consistency which are both important too, though I'm not...
  11. A quick question on Thorntonses' delivery service

    I chose the delivery option which doesn't have tracking so I don't know the progress of the shipment. I though I would at least get an estimated arrival date for my stuff, possibly from an confirmation email after the purchase. But I didn't so I just want to know how long did it take for...
  12. Comparison between ALC and ZLF

    What is ZLF? "ZLF is pure Zylon, and is about $50 a square yard in raw fabric, with good hardener costing about $20. It is just named ballistic zylon, which means that only zylon is in it. It is sold in a weave pattern." (iliketurtles, 10-12-2011) What is ZLC? "ZLC is a carbon-zylon weave, and...
