  1. Pros racket and blade weight

    So I'm just interested in if someone knows what weight some specific pros have on their rackets and blades. I know pros prefer heavier blades, but for someone like Koki Niwa. He plays quick close to the table. What blade and racket weight does he have?
  2. Pros handle type

  5. Question about balls we get and pros get?

    i saw along time ago in the australian open the d40 balls with the print the red paddle on it and the normal one without it after feeling them they seem to be different and the white is also different. Do pros have different balls to us like rubbers? or am i just looking into it too much? im...
  6. Chubby pros

    One thing I've never been able to understand is this: how do some top professional players stay chubby with the supposed 6-8 hours training they go through every day? Table tennis is quite aerobically demanding, TT training even more so, yet a lot of players as high as top10 (or top1 even, we're...

  8. The types of spin the pros put on serves?

    When i watch those top level pros play their serves are all very high quality and deceptive. I personally can't read them every time. So I was wondering in match play, what spins they put on the ball? I know that Backspin-sidespin and Topspin-sidespin and no spin is all widely used in their...
  9. Pros and cons of larger blade head size?

    I've been playing with the Butterfly Korbel JP for a couple of weeks now and really like it. Its head size is 158 x 152 mm which is slightly larger than the most common 157 x 150 mm all brands produce these days. I know defensive blades tend to have even larger head sizes. I've got a second...

  11. Watching pros makes you better, and we should watch women players

    This thread is my homage to Zhang Yining, one of my favorite players of all time (and I was reminded of it by a thread at MyTT where people are discussing who they thing the GOAT is among women players). In a discussion like that it is hard to argue against Deng Yaping but my favorite is Zhang...

  13. Collection of Pros serving no spin that look like underspin

    Can we make a collection of these? Specifically, pro players where we can actually see how they are serving clearly. I've look at a few older threads about serves, but the videos no longer exist for some reason. I'll start off with two. Guang Qing Feng vs Zhang Kai Pretty much everywhere in...

  16. Awkward how Pros use others Pros blades
