Hi, I'm new to the forum and to this whole forum thing... Ummm I looking for help choosing my next blade, would appreciate any help I recieve I'm very forehand dominant, rely on 3rd-ball, placement and spin, not really a BH flick kind of guy (still figuring out my RPB), close to mid-distance...

Hi, I am new to the forum. I am a beginner/intermediate level penhold player. My blade is a CS Butterfly Firehand. I currently have H3 on my forehand and Skyline 3 TG on my rpb backhand. My rpb is not great yet, but I am trying to find a good rubber to learn the rpb stroke better. I recently...

So I've taken a few videos of some of my decent serves a day ago, and I've sent them to the Table Tennis Subreddit, along with the Table Tennis Discord Server. Different angle of view at 1:20 Slo-mo at 2:09 Any advice on how I can improve my serve farther is greatly appreciated. So far, I...

Just had a few sets of games with a friend and he played penhold with long pips on FH. That was a disgusting rubber that dissolved all my attacks ( yea, dissolved not just blocked ) wonder how u guys counterplay long pips Basically 3 scenarios happened 1. I serve no spin on his short FH , he...

Hi all, Is Wong Chun Ting's rubber on the backhand side cut on the bottom just like his forehand. Thanks

Hi guys ,help me set my friend straight , my playing buddy showed up with a pen hold blade , and when i asked him ,he told me he cut the handle of a spare blade(shake hand blade)he had and that he wanted to try this type of grip ,i told him it wouldn't play the same as an "original"pen hold...

So my beloved MEO, plus a bunch of other stuff got stolen last weekend so I need a new blade. Probably going to just get another one BUT I came across some interesting options. I'm very set on wood five ply, bit of flex, hard outer plies, in a moderate controllable offensive speed. I came...

Hello, For those who are interested, I have linked my ebay listing (auction) for the above item. The whole setup has been used for about 5-6 hours. I have boosted the hurricane with 2 layers of falco long tempo booster. Picture and details in the listing...

Does anyone think that the "new balls" will actually favour the game-style of Xu Xin? 
 All other players seem to be "the same": attacking early on a fast and super-reactive game. 
 The new balls however are somewhat slower and I'm seeing Xu Xin adapt a style better acquainted to the way the...

So a few months ago I got into table tennis and also bought my first custom setup (Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive penhold, KTL Rapid Speed for FH and KTL Pro XT for BH). I've been enjoying the game but I would like to switch my forehand rubber for something more tacky at some point to get more...

FS: A certain penhold. So here we go. The bat is in very good condition, played a few times. Still tacky as well. The reason I sell it is because I want to try something new. 12$ + shipping.

Hi all, last week I was wondering if I was the only one that is kind of scared that the table tennis penhold style is dying. I heard that Xu Xin is retiring after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics so we will have only Wong Chun Ting as a penholder in the top 10 world ranking. Because of that I made a...

Hi again! As a beginner penholder, I'm wondering if there are any differences, big or small, between forehand strokes of penholders and forehand strokes of shakehanders. Is there a certain micro-adjustment that advanced penholders use to make their forehand more powerful/consistent? Does the...

Aloha everyone! So here comes maybe interesting in some way review of my super-customized racket! In short, I decided to make a little experiment when I had some «extra» coin. =) What exactly did I do? I was wondering what will be if you glue the 999 rubber with a «sponge» that's not really...

So I'm fairly new to table tennis; I've only been playing for a couple months now, playing Chinese penhold. I've gotten used to using the traditional penhold backhand, and I'm learning to use the reverse penhold backhand. My grip is fairly similar to Ma Lin's, but with the thumb a bit higher to...

Hello. I'm a recreational/hobby player that is currently using a Stiga Trick to play Chinese penhold. It feels okay but I imagine it could be better to use a racket made for that particular grip. I'd like to buy a pre-assembled racket and not spend too ''much'' money. I've searched all of the...
