Hello! I am 25 years old, used to get some lessons about strokes technique, got some decent practice vs robots and had access to a coach for couple of lessons. There he explained proper technique in basic strokes and helped me understand how to take a shot. This was over 1.5 years ago. Before...

Since many of the clubs in the US have closed for a few weeks and "Social Distancing" is being recommended, I was wondering if there were any tips or guidelines for disinfecting things like tables, balls, nets, rackets, etc. Hand-shaking is now discouraged, and I hope the practice of wiping...

Does anyone know what Equipment the chinese/japanese kids use when they are starting to play table tennis? And what they are changing while improving? Harder Rubber? Faster Blade? Are they using Max sponge from the beginning?

Several years ago, I played table tennis at a club for about a year. I recently moved to a new city and discovered a new club right next to my apartment. I took some lessons previously and got a paddle through a coach at the old club. I can't seem to find out any details about the blade...

Perhaps the members of the forum can help me. I have been playing for about a year. I consider my level somewhere between intermediate and advanced. I play mostly on Saturdays. I try to model my forehand after Ma Long, I try to loop every ball with spin and speed. I have been working hard to...

Hi, I am relatively new to this forum. I tried to add new products (and reviews thereof) to the TTD database using the submission form but without success. I tried contacting the site admins but haven't had any response. Is TTD no longer adding new products to the equipment database? Thanks...

Hello, I can describe myself as an amateur who knows the basics. Currently, I own a premade Stiga 5* Flexure, received as a gift. Even though I've made some progress in my game, I don't think this will help me on the long run since I play daily at the office and 1 or 2 times a week at the local...

Hi!:) I am a coach only once a week and I would love to hear from other coaches or players with experience what you would recommend to a beginner. And I referring to beginners who have played perhaps 1-3 years, in age 7-15 years old. I guess the age really doesn't matter but still... I have...

Hi, I think, I'm somewhere between a beginner and Intermediate level player as I can already perform basic shots quite consistently, but I'm still developing technique for regional level tournaments. About a year ago, I "re-started" playing (I've played little bit in my school as a hobby and...

What's the term used for a player who is fanatical about buying all the new equipment? In photography they refer to GAS: Gear Acquisition Syndrome. It's a common complaint, of course, and we can all fall victim to it, if we don't watch out! I seem to remember TT had a term for the victim rather...

In 2019, I didn´t change my rubbers - I did test the new R53 which is even spinnier than my R47, just not when I play with it, must be activated by better players ;) I also changed from carbon to all-wood, yet although my blade is new on the market in 2019, that is not a radical improvement over...

Hi, are there already new rubbers and new blades in the pipeline for 2020 ? What does the manufacturer plan to show us for the next year ? Thanks, Erik

I have now played table tennis actively for almost two years now. And after a good while with the Primorac Off- and Mark V on both sides, i found that i lack in pace of the game. My strongest hand i definitely my forehand. Even with pretty slow equipment i find my loops to be powerful and...
