Today I stumbled across two videos of this pretty high level player who happens to play short pips on his backhand: Ananth Devarajan - India According to tt-reference his current WR is around 380 and within the German national ranking he would rank in the top 150. So definitely someone I and...

That’s the plan! For now, I’m going for safer plays but I already hit fast blocks from time to time. It’s super fun - I am still discovering all of the new possibilities.

I totally forgot about the Japanese players! Great list, thank you!

Hey @z0uLess, I should have rather said lateral stability instead of lateral support. As you state correctly, your feet get strong enough, so you don’t need the support anymore. I had worn barefoot shoes only in my everyday life for 3 months before going barefoot in tt. My problem with Leguanos...

I have. The ground feel is good, but can’t recommend them to you. They were rather slippery and did not have too much lateral support which also makes you slip inside of them -> this leads to slower side steps and switches of direction. I can give you some recommendations if you want to...

Back on TTD finally 🥳

Hi guys, I’ve recently made the switch from a pimples in rubber (Tenergy 05 in 2.1) to short pips (Tibhar D.Tecs Speedy Soft in 2.0) on my backhand. I wasn’t able to play a pain-free backhand topspin with inverted rubbers due to an injury before, and I feel like the pips give me more options to...

Like you said, keep your nerves! As long as you keep cool, it'll be fine. You should definitely know, that after such a huge gap there is no need to win, so if you don't, do not be sad about it or angry with yourself. The more often you play competetive the better you'll get. Have fun and don't...

I couldn't name a bat but for me the rubbers could be Andro Hexer Powersponge or a Tenergy 05.

I tried the Bluefire M1 once. For me it felt very strange and uncommon. I played very soft rubbers before but I think for you it shouldn't be a problem as you played the Omegas. I can't tell you how these feel in comparison, because I never played with the Omegas. @Flash Gordon I would...

For me the Mizuno Wave Drive 6 are perfect! They weigh very very little and feel very soft too. Also they have enough grip that you won't slip and fall like it was the case with standard sports shoes I had before. Those were made for indoor sports in general but they weren't by far as good as...

Many thanks for your answers :) I'll get off to the match now and tell you how the tipsworked after

I use the normal Andro Free Glue for my (andro) rubbers ;) It glues really good but sometimes you have problems when you want to release the rubbers off your bat.

Playing against long pimples at the table. Hey guys I have a question. Today's evening I'm playing against a player with long pimples. He stands at the table and blocks with his pimples. He is not very aggressive but doesn't have the classical defence game. He just stands there and waits for...

Do you rub off the old glue off your bat? Every time I glue a new rubber I remove the glue rests by using abrasive paper. Of course just a very fine one. I remove alle the glue rests from the bat and then glue the new rubber. Maybe theres a bigger spot of glue on the middle of your bat, so there...

I think ITTF really tries to do something for their streams. The quality of one stream has gotten better and I believe the second will follow soon. I can't complain about the sound quality as you did, everythings sounds pretty normal, maybe a bit quietly but you can turn up the PC/headphone...

I don't think any changes were made to the bat or rubber. Asian rubbers have a lot grip, more than many european rubbers have. And even with european rubbers you can get that backspin in the ball like the guy in the video.

Even if i want Ovtcharov to win, I think FZD will make it before Ma Long (2nd rank) because he'll do very hard training lessons just on Ma Long's technique and how to beat him and finally in the final match he'll do it!

Soweit ich gesehen habe dein erstes Video. Toller Start. Ist echt super geworden, mach weiter so! ;)

Nice video! ;)
