Which blades are the best?

[TableTennisPlaya]

Just curious about the best blades out there. I want to also know which blades pro players use.

Well, since best is subjective and what different people like is based on personal preferences, the question sort of just shows that you are trying to get to know more. Nothing wrong with that.

Which is the best car? How about the best place to live? Everyone will have a different answer.

For the blades that the pros use, you can search in the column for popular threads. There are a few threads on that subject. You will see some threads on the subject.

What is most interesting about table tennis equipment is that, what is best for the pros is usually not that great for most intermediate level tournament players.

There are thinner, more flexible blades, their are thicker, stiffer blades. Their are blades that are all wood. Their are blades with various composite materials. There are blades that are faster, slower, more dwell time, more spin. There are blades with more feeling, less feeling.

If you look at most people's profiles, the blade that is listed as the one they use, that is probably the one that person thinks is best.

There is also a thread called, what is your setup. It would be worth reading some of that.

Hahaha. I love this comment. Here is the answer:

I live in NYC and teach yoga all over the city. I might teach 6-7 classes in a day. Between every class I travel to the next job. I used to read a lot of books because I spend so much time traveling (in NYC they call it commuting). As I go from one place to the next, while I walk and while I ride the subway (trains) I read and write. Almost all of my comments are from my cell phone, errm....I mean my abacus. [emoji2]

There are times when I can be a real jerk. I can say stuff or write stuff that is not so nice or patient.

But, I also try not to be a jerk. Every so often it is more fun to be rude. But, as often as I can, I try and be more of an adult and not say things that are insulting.

This helps me in my teaching. When I look at someone and the first thing I think is "what the f_uck are you thinking and why the hell are you trying to do that stupid thing to yourself. You are going to injure yourself." I realize, just saying that is probably not going to get the foolish person to stop doing something stupid that is bad for her/him (well, over 90% of my clients are women, so her comes first here).

Anyway, figuring out ways of politely getting someone to understand something is really a huge part of my job. So, if I get to practice that here, in the long run it is good for business.

Its really hard to help someone who's pissed off at you.

Hahaha. Yeah. You have to say things in a patient and polite way for that crowd.

When I wrote it, I left out, these details: most of them are between 25-40, pretty well off financially, and way on the side of fussy; and a considerable amount more than half of them are pretty good looking. And all of them are wearing form fitting clothing.

This statement is true regardless of whether it is some totally hot woman who is PMSing and totally irrational in the first place or some some guy who wants to learn more about table tennis equipment. All for the LULZ.

Trust me, it is more of a nightmare than you can imagine. I've literally had stalkers who were so hot it was really hard to say: "Beat it!" Who were threatening to follow me home and lie to my wife. I'd rather meet a drunk dingbat in a bar, be entertained and go home to my wife without having to deal with a crazy stalker who knows how to find me by going to my classes.
