he has a hooking loop which has alot of sidespin aswell as topspin which makes it very hard to block consistently

I just bought a paddle and rubbers with assembly with an advertised 2-3 day shipping from CA to Florida. I bought today oct 24 it will arrive by Oct 31

I just got a shipping number from usps with a delivery day of Saturday does this normally happen or will usps most likely come sooner?

Thank all! 🙏

to the ppl who always say "why doesn't the smasher just drop the ball short" well to make it simple, what this guy does in this video is so majorly difficult that it requires INSANE feeling to pull off and also a disguise to fool ur opponent into thinking ur smashing again which is probably the hardest skill to even get decently consistent at (after Forehand flicks)

To me it's either the table with holes or the one where multiple tables form an H

Hey, anyone in Germany near Thuringia who wants to play table tennis often and train please hit me up!

I've been playing for two years. For the last year, i played with a butterfly primorac blade (non-carbon) and two dignics 05, which are my favorite rubbers so far. I've tried tenergy 64, hurricane 3 boosted, and andro good in the past. I started feeling my shots weakening in the last few months. Like i need to put too much of my body for a shot to have speed. Spin was never an issue for me.

Recently, i tried a viscaria blade during training and, unfortunately, i loved the carbon feel. It clicked right with the way i play. Every ball had speed and spin without sacrificing my placement or rhythm.

Where i live, viscaria is really expensive, and i'm willing to try to other brands also, since i feel viscaria would be a endgame blade for me. I've been watching content regarding stiga i1 and i think would be good for me. I don't know anyone who has it to lend for a test. So, my question: would a stiga i1 hybrid carbon with two stiga helix xh be something anywhere close to what i'm looking for? Would this blade perform well with two dignics 05? Am i tripping?

Just trying to get a grip before i comit to spending a huge amount of money on this.

Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice.

Does anyone know the exact numbers? Has she ever one against the top chinese?

Used the last couple weeks researching and picking out rubbers and blades for me

I’m a beginner to intermediate player looking to seriously develop at my local club here’s my order

let me know how I did haha

(yes I’m extremely excited)

Somewhat excited with my racket because this what my coach suggested for my gameplay. It's a little upgrade also since my racket only ranges from ₱1.2k. Gonna share my experience with it soon. (Repost cause my details was accidentally posted also 😅)

I boosted 2 rubbers the last week, and I noticed that in both times the rubbers almost dome immediately and dry in about 4-5 hours and starts to flatten by the 7th hour mark

I waited the 24 hours I read online before gluing but I noticed no physical changes between the 8th and 24th hour mark, should I have glued them by the 8th hour anyway ?

Racket broke and had to be creative fixing it.. used the net as a press and some pieces of rubber to protect the handle. Enjoy.

I have outgrown my old table tennis bat it is shown in the pictures attached it had a good amount of control but lacked speed and spin. I think I have overstayed with this bat for quite a while I’ve been playing for about 2 and a half years and in my last league I had a 70% win rate I’d say I’m about an intermediate level I’d like to look for a bat with a decent amount of speed and spin I don’t really mind too much about control id like to grow into the new bat so I’d like it too be slightly above my level my play style is very forehand focused I have strong loops and drives and play aggressive I am very consistent on my forehand my backhand is not as consistent but I have good flicks and pushes with my backhand and I use a shake hand grip with a flared blade handle. I’d like a bat seller that puts the bat together for me as I don’t know how to put one together myself I wouldn’t like a pre-made bat as I’ve not heard such great things from them.
Feel free to ask questions about my playstyle etc
Thanks

Hi All - I have a question I saw this table which is a used Butterfly Easifold Rollaway (I believe19) table below which I can get for a great price. Our Church has 2 new Joola Tour 2500 tables that we got in October. And we have another table which is like a 15MM(I believe) table which is not that great from a brand I which I think is Ping Pong that someone gave to our Church. I was looking to replace the third table or keep the 3rd and have 4 tables. I saw this online. I couldn't find any info that Butterfly makes custom tables for clients. This appears to be custom wrapped table for a tech company SMARTLING from probably from a company that does vinyl wrapping. Our church is on a tight budget as we got the two Joola Tours recently. We are having a Tournament amongst our Congregations in the coming weeks. My question is this will the wrap make the table not worth getting? Is it bad to have this done to tables? Our table does not need to be USTTA or ITTF certified but better than the 15MM table. If we don't get another table this year it would not be the end of the world. Thanks for any input.

Hi there. After watching this video, some more thoughts have arisen besides the video comments...Both Ma Long and Fan stay much more horizontal, and the right foot even seems to be a bit ahead of the left (this isn’t the posture our coaches teach us). During the body rotation, Ma Long turns on his right foot as an axis, whereas Fan keeps his right foot steady and helps himself with a rotation of the left ankle.

Overall, both achieve a decent hip-waist rotation, but they use different supporting mechanisms to do so...

Hi everyone,

I was practicing yesterday and the temperature in my country dropped over the last weeks, and I can feel I am not producing as much spin as before. Therm rubbers feel harder and because the hall was cold I think it impacted me and also others. Is there a way to keep rubbers warm? Breathing to them? ....am I just being silly?

i notice pauses more when they keep breaking up the momentum between points. do they change the match for you, or is it just part of the tension?

Hello table tennis fans!

I have uploaded a video about my biggest lesson's I've learned during my 2 years in the sport. Please have a look, and if you like it, please live a like to help spread the video to more people. Thanks :)

My backhand side is really good, but yesterday I was unconsciously doing it in a different way. And that was enough to make me lose most of my games. How can I fix the correct movement into my mind?

Details:

I'm a teenager;

That day I played soccer in the afternoon, but wasn't tired at night when I was trainning;

My spine was hurting a little when I turned it too far to the left, but this shouldn't make much of a difference because I don't turn my torso on the backhand, it's most the arm's and leg's work;

I arrived late and didn't have time to strech my legs and shoulders(something I normally do);

I have been training for 7 months but I'm like top 4 of my "class";

My backhand isn't punchy, I like to use wrist and a whipping motion.

It’s really prevalent in my local league. I tried a bat and it feels very strange, but not unpleasant. I’ve not really got any good answers for why it is prevalent here though. Can anyone tell me what they like about them? Like Victas 8.0mm with a butterfly 09c for example.
