I am definitely super late on getting back to this thread, sorry guys! I'll own that one. I put a 'watch' on this thread but haven't received any notifications in 2024. Does anyone know why? Very frustrating. Firstly, we did indeed have a winner. T.Chan from Oregon chose a Black Dignics 09C...

Our giveaway of any 2x brand new rubbers of your choice ends on 31st December so try the quiz before then to be in with a chance to win!

Considering the average score is ~7-8 that's a great score! I'll be sharing the answers in January so you can see which you might have missed out on. I'm so excited to see how Lin Yun-Ju performs in 2024. My dark horse for the Olympics title.

Ahhh, I wrote all of the questions at the start of the month... BEFORE his latest video with . The intention of the question was to cover his series "challenging" amateur players but I totally agree the question lacks clarity as it is. So, I updated it. Great spot. Well done getting the last...

Hey TTD Community, At Racket Insight, we wanted to celebrate the end of 2023 with a quiz covering the different major events in the table tennis world. However, we might have accidentally made it too hard. As far as I'm aware, nobody has hit 15 out of 15 on the first attempt. Questions cover...

Having played against UONTT 2nds and a few of their top players over the years, I can safely say this is the best victory you guys have put together. Unbelievable team effort to get across the line. McBeath a class above though. Have to wonder why Doran didn't show up this day! Would have been...

Ah, I see what you mean. I had tried to make it clear with colouring that both sponge and topsheet were on both sides of the racket, but now you mention it, I agree it could be a bit misleading. I'll work on fixing that up. You're also absolutely correct that the 'Rubber' is technically both...

I can't stand playing against "that guy". I agree that a "types of rubber" section is probably really beneficial for new players. We've written about those elsewhere on the site, so I'll get a decent graphic created to show the different types. Funnily enough, "playstyles" is my big current...

Thanks Michael. I show drive, push and grip as the core components for a beginner. But you're right, I should also add references to the other shot types used, even without much additional detail would be useful.

Hey, I set out to create the best possible beginners guide to table tennis. You know, one of those links that you could send to a mate/colleague who's just getting into the sport so they can get a good understanding of the basics. I wanted to cover everything from rules, technique, clothing...

Happy New Year to all the TTD Team and every Table Tennis player across the world! May your 2022 be lacking in donkeys.

I can't stand playing against anyone with pimples or anti-spin. Those awkward buggers. Turns out I just need the captain's whip. He made that look so simple!

If it's not Liam Pitchford, they have a very Pitchford-esque outline...

Looks like he might be coming at shots from a slightly different angle due to the positioning of his legs. I wonder if this could actually mess with his game, or if that's balanced by the chance to continue getting (at least some) practise. Wish I had anywhere near this dedication!

Desperate to get my hands on one but Stiga don't ship to Australia and our local supplier can't get any. It's definitely a marketing gimmick and there's only a 0.1% chance it takes off. Damn, I still want to give it a try though!

Style develops and transforms over many years. No need to commit to a single style so early on in your Table Tennis career! We all also hit plateau's and feel like we're not developing at times. All part of learning to play (and love) a sport. Focus on your technique, building more consistent...
