celluloid

So I’ve been playing with a reproduction of Waldner’s Banda blade from the 90’s or so and just want to hear your thoughts on how blades that were designed before the speed glue ban, ball change, and game shortening have held up in this new era of TT. I don’t just mean old blades, but also new...

Hey guys, I'd very much appreciate tips to adapt to the plastic ball. It's our first season (kind of) playing with that ball ("kind of" because clubs can still choose the type of ball in our region - so sometimes I'd play matches with plastic and sometimes with celluloid.). And honestly, it's...

This could be quite an interesting break down. Looking forward to seeing the data.

TableTennisDaily's @Dan and @Tom had the fantastic opportunity to review Stiga's latest ITTF Approved Plastic/Poly ball. There has been a lot of discussion around the world and on the TableTennisDaily website recently in regards to how this new ball will effect table tennis players and the...
