Honestly there are quite a few anti-fun uncool ppl on this forum who take everything way too seriously especially with something that they dont earn any kind of serious $$$ from.
I never said you couldn't play with two rackets. You could even play with tennis rackets if that is your thing. People play table tennis with cell phones and clipboards for fun. I played with planks of wood as rackets multiple times as a child - never learned to spin heavy until I was in my 30s. The idea that I take this way too seriously is a serious cope for your inability to accept that you are likely to be doing something that is not permitted by the laws of table tennis. And given that I have given you multiple examples of me breaking the laws of table tennis all my life, you need to stop acting like the disagreement is about taking things seriously. I pointed out that what you did was against the laws of table tennis as I understand them. At least admit you are trolling.
Okay. And the use of the word "racket" as a singular noun in just about every match context is also a mistake? The rules were written to allow this possibility but just for some reason only focus on "the racket" and never "the rackets" because the rule writers were waiting for you to show them they were idiots?
Yes I admit I am trolling a bit and having fun even right now. I haven't had as much fun that I had last night just wowing everyone and creating absolute magic on the table. It was especially fun to troll my inverted/LP penholder friend with some of these shots to give him a taste of his own medicine.
This was exactly what I told someone who asked me what inspired most of your complaints about pips - I was like it is just his recent losing record to his penholder hitting partner who probably plays a less athletically respectable style.
You are still not looking at the spirit of the law in terms of what it was intended to do, which is NOT to ban 2 racket players. Latching on singular/plural nouns is just sad.
You sound like someone defending the Holy Spirit of the law - what's next, you are going to speak in tongues about rubbers?
It's funny how some internet stranger was important enough to become a subject of gossip 🤣
Trolling under anonymity is a hazard on the internet. You aren't as notorious as SJAN or brokenball, but when you abuse your anonymity using the same principles, we end up in the same place. We just try to understand why people write stuff, that's all.
Already explained why the rule doesnt apply, you have to look at the context and intention of the law when doing an interpretation. It is to avoid sneaky behaviour mid match to change setups which may affect the course of the match at crucial points. Imagine changing to LP only at 10-9 in the decider.
Do you even read posts before replying? 2.4.10 quoted by sedis is a non existent clause lmao. Everything you saw about the change of racket clause is a lie. Repeating a lie does not make it true.So silly. Changing from one racket to another in the middle of a rally is still changing rackets.
You are playing a game of semantics. And, if they let you play like that, I am fine with it. But, you are playing a game of semantics rather than realizing that hitting the ball with one racket and then hitting the ball with a second racket is changing rackets.
Going back and forth between two rackets is changing rackets repeatedly.
Carl, stop being so narrowminded!So silly. Changing from one racket to another in the middle of a rally is still changing rackets.

I can't let this pass. So I am notorious! At least when I "troll" I am in your face. I point out how stupid your comments are. The most recent is "covering" the ball or "wrapping" the ball. You seem to think you can do that after the ball is hit even though Baal pointe out long ago it takes many milliseconds for the impact to be felt. You can't explain what happens to the ball when you "cover" or "wrap" the ball a millisecond do soon or too late. Yet you persist in making stupid comments and misleading the young one that don't know any better.
Just admit your mistake, it's incredible that there's so many posts citing 2.4.10 that nobody actually noticed that it actually doesn't existStill, you could do everything you claim to be doing with two rackets with only one if you learned to twiddle well and learned to swap hands.
