  1. ✈️🌍 Badgers On Tour 2027 🌍✈️

    I obviously want badgers ASAP again... For a bigger action, like Duesseldorf alternative (if it can exist), if Kuba @Haito can organize reasonably big hall in Krakow, I opportunistically vote YES with all fingers...
  2. 🌎 🇩🇪 TTD Forum Meet Up in Düsseldorf - September 11th, 12th & 13th 🇩🇪 🌎

    I can't write to Don's thread, it's closed... So I write here... I remember on Saturday I saw a guy sitting at the "terraced seating", quite high actually... I had no idea who he is, and whether he is there to watch or play or whatnot... There was simply not much time to investigate, everyone...
  3. At What Point is an Upgrade from D09c to Z03 Justified on BH?

    Hey @merlin el mago, fwiw I share your sentiment in this matter completely, tried Z03, it's extreme... But at the same time I realized it really is almost pointless to defend my view online, I mean, while it's OK to have my view, as a single view out of gazillions of others, it is almost...
  4. (FS/FT) TTD Meetup - Düsseldorf Bazaar!

    I'll probably change my nick from lat-ej to something else... Looking fwd the testing though ;-)
  5. What song are u listening to now?

    U nas na severu. V Bělském lese toulají se ma-mu-ti, když je neosolíš tak jsou bez chu-ti, nevěřil bys kolik to dá ro-bo-ty, zavařovat na kyselo cho-bo-ty. claude translated: ;-) "In the Bělá forest, mammoths roam, without salt, they're tasteless as foam, you wouldn't believe the work it...

  7. What Are Hybrid Table Tennis Rubbers and Why Are They So Popular Nowadays?

    I didn't try the 52, it will be new on his new SDC blade at the TTD meeting... For me the Chintac has good sponge, good tackiness, good durability so far - e.g. C55 would have more marks by now, the only thing is slightly too soft top-sheet, on harder shot I go often over net out, and I believe...
  8. What Are Hybrid Table Tennis Rubbers and Why Are They So Popular Nowadays?

    Hey, I enjoyed the linked review + comparison of the Nuzn 45 and 48 rubbers. I play now with the Nuzn 48 on the BH and like it a lot, I liked Glayzer very much too, and it took a while to find it, couple of rubbers before that I didn't enjoy as much as those two on the BH. (E.g. H8-80, H3 37...
  9. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Hi @Archosaurus, this is not a critique, just mentioning what I think can/will be improved soon. First, when you do fast/hard shot you tend to freeze for a moment. The ball comes back faster, so any freezing, esp. here, is not good, but I think time/practise will force you not do that. However...
  10. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I also use 9mm, and I don't cut through immediately, this imo creates too much tension, so I do it on 2 or 3 "rounds". Also I don't do like 1 round around the blade and then the second, I do more like per partes, each part 2-3 rounds, because the pressure point remains the same... This is...
  11. How do you guys perform a backhand topspin?

    Dribble it 2 or 3 times first! EDIT: Improving BH is a struggle. Yesterday played combination: serve backspin, get backspin back to BH, open with topspin, get it block back to BH, play BH fast topspin down the line... My partners can generate more spin down the line and more speed down the...
  12. Forehand swing/stroke

    I bit late... No I don't, it was long time ago, then later I did some JiuJutsu and Taekwondo, but that is also long time ago ;-) Only TT remains ;-) I don't understand why I like repeatedly hitting the ball so much...
  13. Which ESN (or Jap) rubber is closest to H3 orange provincial (non NEO)?

    +1 for G09C, not very heavy, as most Btfly and Lazer cares about weight...
  14. Forehand swing/stroke

    I didn't, I hear Yuru Yuru Taiso for the 1st time ;-) When I was a boy, my karate master explained how the power is generated in gjaku-tsuki - I had no idea ofc, and he had good understanding... And it is the same principle... Also the same in tennis, golf... In table tennis I tried to explain...
  15. Forehand swing/stroke

    I think the plane of your arm movement is OK, this will be adjusted later when you play. You are trying to understand how to generate power, which is the right way forward. At the moment, you are not doing it correctly, because you arm rotates "in-sync" to your body (both arms do). That is not...
  16. Which ESN (or Jap) rubber is closest to H3 orange provincial (non NEO)?

    +1 for C55, imo great rubber, just not very good durability... The question is, does @Lazer want it for FH or BH? If for FH, then I also think C55 or C52,5 is good choice... For BH I prefer a bit softer... To expand - I played with it, I liked it, then was disappointed by the durability, then...
  17. Europe Smash 2026, Malmö, 8/8-16

    Yes I think I remember now you mentioned the injury in the past. Sorry again... I'm not a doctor and I don't know the details, so take what I say with some reservation... I recommend to investigate fasting and its benefits, like autophagy and stem-cells... Best. BTW. I think if @NDH is reading...
  18. Europe Smash 2026, Malmö, 8/8-16

    Hi @Richie, welcome back, did you have a pause/break? The grip, I think Gozo perhaps has a point. On my amateur level when I play with something unorthodox it makes it harder, say long-pips, say strange style, even unregular unexpected and rel. high balls... So I also tend to think this...
  19. 3 New Andro Rubbers

    Couple more trainings with the new setup, I'm getting used to the Chintac now, definitely I don't have this feeling like: one more week and you go down... The low throw in power top-spins is a matter of getting used to, after using different rubber. And as I said earlier, the top-sheet is nicely...
