Most newbies or even high level players do not comprehend how table tennis is a sport of super precision down to sub microscopic dimensions. Of course hardbat & sandpaper players say this is bad for the sport & I agree about 10% but that is for another discussion.
Let me just say this though > Microscopic changes you make to your racket (blade, rubber, sponge etc) can greatly impact your performance against competition at same skill level. Even such minor changes such as handle type or using one type of handle wrap tape compared to another and the number of wraps you make can greatly impact your performance
I recently saw a former 2300-2400 player using a handheld magnifier by Stiga that actually had markings probably below one tenth of a millimeter of something & he was complaining and demonstrating on the magnifier how the seller said he sent a 2.2 mm rubber but it was only 2.1 mm or something.
Has anyone heard of this Stiga or similar ? I could not find on Google search
I also love to know how you can make many other measurements such as the exact length and width of a pip or the pip distribution density etc.
Take a look at https://ioctt.com/kg/t4_2017.pdf
I am curious as to how ITTF makes these measurements or how a player can do these at home (don’t give me the funny answer “don’t DIY”)
Any help appreciated.
More irrelevant waffle : ""
Are you looking for submicroscopic dimensions
The range is from 0.1 millimeter to 0.0001 mm or from 100 um and 0.1 um. Particles from 0.1 um to 0.004 um in size are called submicroscopic (or ultrastructural) particles.""More irrelevant waffle : ""

It is good that Lodro has kept the forum sane while I was "away"
People are not calibrated machines. The goes for estimating the dwell time too.

i am blushing now 😆
You didn't but the OP has suggested that pros can sense fine differences.When & where did I even remotely suggest that "people" are (calibtrated) machines ?

I have said many times that people are adaptable but not very good at sensing small differences.
This thread is bogus. I have mechanics that can move in microns. If I move the device 1 micron I think I can feel a movement, but I doubt I could tell the difference between a 1 micron and 2 micron move by touch or just looking at it. I doubt anyone can.
My experience with rubber millers is that it is hard for them to get two batches exactly the same. A 0.1mm variation in a 2mm rubber is a variation of 5%. No one has measured the thickness of MANY rubbers of a particular make to see what the standard deviation is.
Of course james Z IS the OP
But whatever you will tell him - he will have some "counter argument on the submicroscopic level or even nano or pico."
Who knows we might end up in some serious discussion with JamesZ on the quantum mechanical levels, where everything is possible 🤣🤣🤣
You have posted this before but that is OK. It is good to remind the "goldfish"Another smart device must to have for a rubber manufactory. Its most common use is to measure the actual effect of the boosting materials and chemical additives on the sponge.
It is simple but effective.It is known as Schob pendulum resiliometer and is able to give the rebound resilience of rubber materials in numbers.
Do you have this device or access to this device? if the pendulum bounces back to the same level that it dropped from then the coefficient of restitution is 1. It would be easy to estimated the COR for any rubber with this device. Who needs manufacturer's data? It is bogus anyway. Someone can just record how far the the pendulum bounces back. It is easy to calculate the COR from there. Numbers like 0-10, 0-12, 0-15 like the manufacturers use is bogus and is meant to mislead. The effectiveness on boosting could be measured too.Unfortunately, manufacturers all are keeping a tight lid on the resulting numbers. Knownig the true test data may be a frustrating surprize to the booster addicts, I guess.

The AGM 2023 is betwen 20 May - 28 May 2023 at WITTC 2023 above
That means propositions must be submitted before February 20
So I will try to post my request in a week or two.
Just an FYI , Durban is the site of the 1998 Aspect Ratio Reduction Massacre
It is such a shame that the City of Durban & South African Government would even give permission for above event.
I hope they revoke the permission
Have you stopped taking your pills again ?
You know the shrink told you never to stop taking them............it is even written on the packet.
what crazy notion have you to assume that a State and city in Africa might be interested what goes on when a few ping pong buddies have a
a little get together 😂.
I think XX mostly lobbed with his forehand side. Despite that, yes, he uses RPB.Xu xin would sometimes lob with his RPB but I doubt there are any high level players from the RPB era who use lobbing as their primary match play strategy.
Yes, he's playing with a Petr Korbel, Euro version previous gen with brown handle (instead of grey) and Curl P1-R 1mm on the BH. He was also playing with this even when he was sponsored by XIOM and TT11 France for a while.I will let someone else confirm but I read some times ago he was using :
Korbel Off, Xiom Omega VII Euro and CURL P1R
