Hey TTD community,
I have started playing TT again at intermediate/Semi Pro level after short gap of no TT for around 8 years.
I just recently got a racket made after trying out some rubbers.
Fh : Xiom Jekyl and Hyde 47.5 max(magenta cause I liked it)
Bh: Nittaku Fast Arc S1
Blade: Neottech...
Hello,So I bought myself a Harimoto Inner SZLC at a 40% discount ( someone bought it and stoppoed playing and sold it to me brand new), I and it works like charmMy problem is that Amateur tournaments here, you play around 10 matches in a day, with lots of people in the same room, high...
Making a good video takes a little planning and experimentation. Getting the right camera angle is key. It is apparent to me that how one makes the video is as important as the skill of the looper returning the back spin.
It is best if the video show looping balls that are below the net...
Hello guys I have a question why do some jpen players take off the back handle cork off/ (not the cork sheet but the handle) is there benefits or a reason as to why players do that? I believe Ryu Seung Min does that from what I heard but never understood why they do that please help me out in...
Hey guys!
I'm starting a free "research roundup" service for table tennis players. If you'd like to get an email once a month or so with a roundup of the latest research on table tennis, you can join here:

So I'm a 1800 rated player and the club i am currently playing at due to Covid-19 only has 1500s or below. I do play matches, but win easily 3-0 with points like 11- <7. It's not that fun. So I just ask if they want to practice. Obviously they do, but when we practice I can give them drills...
Just saw that RC has processed a whole load of old tournament results and thus should probably be able to give us a fairly decent list of pro players' actual playing strength.
Here is the current top ten:
Seems about right?
In returning to play TT after many years away, it's unbelievable how much has changed with availability of blades and rubbers. After 37 year absence, and now being 66 years old, I had these questions. Are my reflexes sufficient to still play? Can my body take the physical demand?
In my first...
Much appreciated for any help or advice.:D
I used to play TT a lot a few years ago and I'm picking up again.
I need a racket in doing so BUT the top sheets of my old racket seem to have detached from my sponges after about a week of use. I did some research.
All in all, I peeled the two...

I’ve previously made a post of me in China 2 years ago in a TT shop where I bought some DHS rubbers. I’ve now come back to the same place to check it out and the guy remembers me! He was so nice and said that he would give us a discount on the stuff we buy for our loyalty.
I’m thinking of...
Personally i think its one of my biggest weakness
Apart from repeating drills, or shadow training etc...
does anyone have any special ideas or tips how to improve on that ?
I think it's also linked to how to execute well a good 3rd ball ? its linked to making a good serve and being in...
Actually, hitting back spin balls at the peak makes the most sense from a physics point of view. There is a better line of sight to the other side of the table. However, there are problems that occur because we are human and not perfect. After I watched videos of others and me hitting too...
Per member Fabian's request.
This one didn't take long to finish but it took me a while to start working on it since Hong Kong was blessed by Typhoon Mangkhut a week ago.
Official announcement to be made in days, LGL will be the executive VP of CTTA (currently the no. 19 VP;)) and will be the one who runs the organization since CZH left the sports bureau. No question the guy is a true devotee of table tennis and a marketing genius as well. His return is a good...
Been lurking on these forums a little while and thought I would ask advice, if you guys don't mind. And sorry for the long post!
Had a hiatus from table tennis for over 10 years, used to play a quite lot recreationally in my teens to 20s, not competitively, but used to practice sometimes with a...
