I used the same rubber on both sides of my paddle for a couple of years and then in 1971 an anti sponge was used by a French player at the worlds in Nagoya. Since I only used one side of the paddle I tried the anti on the other. It helped me to return serves. My style was innovative and no one had ...

on Monday May 15, 2023 #1 Does it really matter what blade/rubbers to use? Is there a proper combo? Yes, very much so For better or worse, table tennis is the most equipment sensitive sport there is. I was brainwashed twice by the iTTF & its coaches & various ITTF worship forums like (TTDAi...

BRS, my friend, you may have bigger problems.

in some para classifications, a handful of amateurs probably can loop on the backhand (so can use dumb rackets) But this % has to be even less compared to non para players. Given that, only about at most 20% of amateurs in non para events can loop well on backhand, I would estimate about 5% to 10% f...

You know , I have been asking ITTF for more than 20 years now, to provide Diversity Education & Sensitivity Training for all table tennis players , not just robotNazis but especially honorary looper and spineless coward , but stupid me, I did not realize ITTF exists for one sole purpose, which i...

What about the speed difference between Reach C8 & Reach C801? Do not know . I only used C801 The only difference is Aspect Ratio. I guess the rubber with higher aspect ratio will give you more spin but less speed What about the speed difference between Magic 77 & Reach C801? Good question....

Thanks but now don't need it anymore an asymmetric blade.

What blade are you using now ?
Is it a symmetric composite blade ?

What blade do you recommend for these pips? Depends on whether you are 1. Specialist chopper or 2. specialist blocker or 3. All round If you are an all round player you can basically use any blade But if you are specialist chopper or speeiclist blocker you need an asymmetric blade with different la...

I currently use Magic 77, it is the best all round rubber I have used.
It is not a deceptive rubber and more like Feint Long (cloassic versio) but only more spin reversal.

I own Reach C8, C801 & Monster. I use for half and one month C8 with great success, still not tried C801 nor Monster so what differences could I expect? Also I own Magic 77 and before to use I want to know the differences vs Reach C8? Click on link below Reach C8 and C801 you will see the detai...

For me it is the experienced pips players who continue to delude themselve that "long" pips still exist in ITTF's version of table tennis. THis is as much a huge problem as well as hilariously sad. I totally understand if a new pips player is clueless but experienced pips player should kno...

RobotNazis consider themselves to be above the law & rules of common man or rules of ITTF do not apply to them.
RobotNazis believe the rules only apply to pips players

New players, don't be brainwashed by the ITTF & the robotNazis who control the ITTF. The brainwashing is icessant, calling double inverted dumb racket users as "normal" players, as if smart racket users are not "normal". robotNazis will also beliitle, bully, harass , degrade ...

on November 21, 2023 #1 Hello short pip lovers! I'm an amateur player that is thinking about doing something crazy. I've never really been a fan of the looping playstyle and opening loops has never been my strong point. So why not go for short pips on both sides? Because short pips & anti are n...

Even though I am reasonably sure that Blahness posted about use of two rackets just to troll (by his own admission) and to further belittle pips player, I sort of agree with Blahness .

Backspin can also increase but is the most difficult to control . the primary purpose of spoosting or spin gluing is not to increase backspin (there is no known top player that I know of, spoosted or spin glued to increase back spin) A regular loop can involve both the arm & wrist. But for a clo...

spooster = spin + booster "Spin glue" is the correct phrase & not "speed glue" Speed is increased significantly when a rubber is spoosted or spin glued. Control is also increased for a pro or advanced player. But for lower levels there could be some or significant loss of con...

Lot of other reviews I saw on YouTube indicate the PDD is low (pips too far apart) and pip tops are smooth.

So these two above parameters end up making these rubbers only suitable for blocking type players and not choppers

No, that argument doesn't follow. In the video, the players is coming up and forward on the front of the ball and this generates backspin. Your shots will have contacted a different part of the ball than in the video. No . In the video the coach Meng is contacting the ball on the back left & ra...

You can make a wheel 🛞 spin either clockwise or anticlockwise (top or backspin). Hit it with a stick with an upwards and forwards motion from 3 o'clock to 12 and you have topspin.

Yep. Everyone thinks it is sidetopspin but it is in fact heavy af sideunderspin. You just say it is but never explained how. There is no way for this to have underspin because of where the ball is contacted (back left bottom) & which direction the racket is moving. You claim it is only moving s...
