  1. Equipment Help Needed - Trying to Get Back Into TT

    Have to say, you were traveling in some awesome countries with tons of TT, a pity you didn't bring your bat with you!. Vis + T05 if you happy to spend some money
  2. EuroJap rubber for FH

    What do you think of the Vega X (I see in your profile, you have it listed)
  3. Is there a softer Xiom rubber comparable with 05fx and FX-S

    Vega Euro Vega Elite (too soft, don't touch)
  4. Anyone with an opinion on this blades?

    In all honest truth, I think they work in 2021 just the same as they did in 2020 and earlier :)
  5. The Orange Ball should be the standard ball

    Will all the new colour (right) rubbers coming out, I can say the orange is going to be far from the norm. White is normally fine in the pro circuit. it is mostly your amateurs leagues that would have a problem with white wall. White shirt issue is a garage league problem I think.
  6. no table tennis plays in the opening ceremony?

    Some players did say that due to the morning matches, and not to mention 1 hour trip from village to match venue. and then needing to get there 2 hours prior to match (leaving 3 hours before match) say for a 9am or 10am match. it requires a very early night, so some players did miss out. some...
  7. Chinese national team using custom blades?

    They can customize sweet spot size/area weight/balance Some players may want specific grains of wood on a specific side - they will build the ply base on such requirements They will make easily 100 blades to such requirements and have the player choose The detail to the ply is what is mostly...
  8. Stiga DNA Platinum Rubbers

    Its actually DNA Pro series and DNA Platinum series. There of course is the entry level DNA Future series too. So can really just name it Pro H vs Platinum H for example.
  9. A new era is born and the backhand topspin is dying?

    Other than the crazy wack of Kreanga, I understand OP is talking about less loop brushing, and more using incoming speed - driving the ball back. There are many reasons, in no particular order: 1) different era, different styles 2) FH dominated player vs allround vs BH dominated player etc 3)...
  10. KNT: Why We use National H3!

    Many friends of mine also say during FH to FH rallies, T05 and D05 is not as consistent and does net a lot more than H3. Granted, they change H3 every week, while the Butterfly about 4 weeks PS. these guys players on the world circuit. PS. the ones not using H3, does have "special" rubbers made...
  11. Covid-19 outbreak at US table tennis tournament

    i've seen some research and data years ago about masks in asia. to curb influenza and such so if your theory that masks is useless in virus spreading prevention, then why over 1.5 billion people are taught about using masks since a young age for exactly that reason? Are they 1.5 billion brainless?
  12. Covid-19 outbreak at US table tennis tournament

    Yep, the thing with SARS, it would kill you before you had the chance to spread it on. The asymptomatic and the long incubation period is what makes covid19 a threat and the reasons of strict control measures. But then again, you just need some idiots and all sacrifices from everyone means...
  13. Ovtcharov posts a photo of his blades

    Main butterfly players (or of any company) all will have customized equipment. In fact, you don't need to be the main to get customized, but the main would likely get they own named blade. The customization is far greater than one would think. I mean, the likes of which part of the veneer to...
  14. Racket left in car

    I would say leaving any gear in the car is not the wisest decision, especially where heat is concerned. Unless you haves tons of money and want to experience it. For higher level players, the equipment needs to be at 99.9%. I'm sure heat will alter the performance more than the 0.1% threshold...
  15. Covid-19 outbreak at US table tennis tournament

    all thanks to failures in trying to control the spread of the virus, which could potentially eliminate the virus once and for all. All you need is 1 out of 100 that doesn't fear the virus, and causing the chain to forever continue. It is the same as why HIV cannot be contained. Masks and...
  16. Covid-19 outbreak at US table tennis tournament

    1) asking a country that has never learned to use masks correctly to do a study on, is just like asking a coach to do spin research on garage/basement players... 2) you could wear PPE the whole day when you out, but to get home and get infected by your family member
  17. Covid-19 outbreak at US table tennis tournament

    Let me give you an example of "forget/forgot". If you are in the hall with no one else in it at that very moment. Would you take your masks off? I know a lot of people will do so, because for them, it is "safe to do so". The problem is they not thinking about the invisible enemy. So that is...
  18. Covid-19 outbreak at US table tennis tournament

    Here is a jama research letter that I saw back in March. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2762692 I think people tend to forget about the high risk of droplets. Sooner or later someone could have the hands contaminated and touching masks/nose/eyes etc. While the spreader was...
  19. Covid-19 outbreak at US table tennis tournament

    I rather have 3 ply non woven medical grade mask, knowing what ever droplets that could ends on the outer ply won't get sucked through the mask. Thus the only risk left is touching that area and leading to cross contamination. I think if we look at the data. The only country in the world that...
