iocTT.com :- The most advanced forum on table tennis

Recently I was reading a German Table Tennis Forum where someone was complaining about how India was flooding youth events with tactical rubber (pips / anti) players. Click here to read the article This completely opened my eyes as to how I have been brainwashed for close to about 30 years by the I...

Pips / anti players are truly delusional. They believe that ITTF is a fairminded corruption free organization that truly belives in diversity & inclusion & admire all playing styles. This is as pathetic and sad as it is hilarious. Because all the councils & committees of ITTF as well sim...

The reason ITTF has not banned pips & anti is as follows The question I get asked often (& also discussed a lot especially by angry robotNazis ) is this > Currently most of the table tennis playing population (probably about 70%) has been brainwashed by the ITTF to use the European lawn tenn...

Below ar more rule change ideas for robotNazi controlled ITTF to further limit pips if the ITTF feels that the near 30 years of torture & abuse of choppers for the past 30 years with 11 rule & regulation changes ( Click here to read more on that ) since 1983 is not enough 1. Double inverted ...

Take a look at the attached picture

RobotNazis have taken over TTDaily forum LOL

on Tuesday March 12, 2024 9:25 AM Post #18 on TTD Don't get LP because they have other Pitfalls in the Receive, especially no spin serves. An anti slows the backhand down very much, I think it takes alot of training to get uses to it. From personal experience with all types of rubbers I think short...

on Tuesday March 12 at 7:49 AM Post #16 on TTD The reason why Gozo is not really suited to the inverted BH because he is very far away from getting the true benefits of the modern inverted BH (safe, heavy spin opening loops, topspin rallying and chiquita), but is suffering from all of its cons espe...

Is penhold still a viable grip

Saturday, 03 February 2024, 06:44 Well, then - I do have somewhat similar (or not?) dilemma. I find my infamous 'no spin' FH chop to be super effective in practice: everyone sends it long, because despite my very serious arm motion, ball is basically dead on return. :rofl I have addressed your dile...

on Saturday February 03 2024, 05:35 When playing MATCHES vs high-level players, I do have a hard time deciding when to play my normal "Gionis" style vs chopping both sides with occasional FH attacks (think of Yuto Muramatsu) If you are out of position, it is usually harder to chop with a ...

on Saturday February 03 2024, 05:35 If you have been watching Ma Te play, he actually does this a lot: he chops two wings with some opponents and then does not FH chop even once with others. I cannot figure out for the life of me what makes him decide one vs the other That is easy. It is mostly a s...

on 15 October 2022, 17:36 I think, first of all, no offense to everyone here, but I doubt too many of us on the forum or in this thread are Top 10 players in the world. Likely not even Top 100. They maybe some who are Top 100 in their own country. . You thought wrong my friend. Because the very bas...

Usual disinformation propaganda from Igor ? LOL

Is there a USATT election ?
Who else is running and for what positions ?

Apr 6, 2022 #1 This may be a silly question but I've never played with pips before and would like to try chopping with long pips. I have many blades but they are all carbon offensive blades. I would prefer not to buy a new blade for the long pips as it's just experimental. Is chopping with long pip...

There is player in my area who uses the same stuff as Zhou Xintong I am not exactly sure how it is different & if it is illegal (if it is treated). But I know for sure it i svery different. I haev no trouble playing against him but others do. I have tested the standard version of Saviga V but it...

The problem with the other forums like MyTebaleTennis.net, OOAkForums & TTDaily i stheir hypocrisy. They were claiming that I was using various posting handles. But if you had chencked me on TTDaily , i always used the posting handle James Z for a long while & UpSideDownCarl banned me claimi...

On October 03 at 3:43 pm has been blocked literally a thousand times across multiple platforms. it doesn't do much good.

From 2009 Grammys onwards

When I started exposing ITTF corruption after the 1998 Durban Aspect Ratio Reduction Massacre, Dr.Neubauer simply changed one or more of the 18 or so other pip design parameters other than Aspect Ratio & laughed all the way to the bank between 1998 & 2008 to the utter dismay of the other Ger...

LOL Most choppers are totally clueless about the agenda of the ITTF. The robotNazi controlled ITTF would love to ban all pips & anti But they cannot due to poltical reasons & the only next best option for ITTF if to keep the pips & anti but continue minimizing the capabilites of pips &am...

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 . I am sure the current ITTF rules do not allow the use of two rackets however mostly due to the free hand definition...

on Sunday, September 10 at 11:52 AM #20 The rules there were that ppl have to play matches, so it makes it easier as people would have to finish a match and then walk off, . Not a good rule. I cannot play any matches anymore (due to risk of injuring myself) . I just play for exercise & not to w...

When I started playing in early 90's after my 9 year stint with tennis, I had funny incident at Benny Hull's Waltham club. Basically they had a good board signup system though noone really wanted to play me (about 1600 level at best). So I tried to be respectful but still lose 95% of the time. But B...

Reasons why penhold is still very much viable & is also the best grip Yet another case of right answers to the wrong question in (table tennis) forums. I am not trashing the OP because I am not all blaming him for asking the question however because if he had known the answer he would not have...

Jul 11, 2023 #1 I’ve been playing with penhold grip for a while now and I find it comfortable and fun (I have shakehand experience too) but (although I’m getting decent at backhand returns) the backhand is kind of a weak point and I’ve been told to switch to shakehand for a better backhand. My fore...

Anyway I know most of you robotNazis boost or spin glue illegally but whay is the fastest you have taken your bike illegally ?
Have any of you removed the speed governors on stock bikes ?

on 17 Jul 2021, 21:45 I wonder how many current speedy sps can play like inverted with decent spin.Reasons? against Lp it is the best weapon for defenders IMO.This is one of the reasons why some people choose a sp, lp combo You choose a racket design mostly because what is the best style for you.

The market is wide open & ripe for the picking. ITTF has raped the pips players for more than 10 years now & stable super pips that won't fall apart after few hours (like many European social pips on ITTF LARC) are becoming increasingly available. Lot of blocking type super pips are already ...

Looking for a German manufacturer or distributor who is not a sissy and can do to the ITTF what Dr.Neubauer did to the ITTF after the 1998 Durban Aspect Ratio Reduction Massacre If you want to make a lot of money contaminating the German & European market by selling super pips that are functiona...

On his way to winning the 1995 World Championships Kong Ling Hui faced Peter Karlsson who is notoriously weak against the chop. . He chopped from at the table & the spin glued chops were so spinny that a frustrated Peter Karlsson kept dumping balls to the bottom of the net. Compare this to Peter...

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
If I run into any other chopping type Indonesian long pips, I will post here.

This is a review of JAHANAM "SABOTASE" Click to view item on sale at Shopee Indonesia website The Aspect Ratio is 1.5 ( 3.0 mm pip length divided by diameter of 2.0 mm) The sale website says pip length 3.2 mm but you tube video says 3.2 mm The Aspect Ratio of 1.5 is probably the most optim...

I am not sure about these rubbers because since they are not available outside Indonesia (or probably Malaysia) it is hard to test them. But looking at pip design specifications most seem to be just gimmick pips and most are deception based & designed for close to the table blocker with pip dist...

Rev. Larry Hodges & his cult groupies have always continued to make false claims about my position on the two color rule. I would have really no problem with the two color rule but only only have serious problems with it in the context of a fair & level playing field. As I do not even play p...

I don't use short pips but I tried to, using this on my forehand. I think this is a great rubber if you are power attack player because the pips are huge Interesting hing is that the PDD (pip distributiong density) also seems high (pips closer together), which will giv emore spin Another interesting...

And if you look in this section , it demonstrates how easy it can be (and should be) to set up & take down tabletennis tables at places like community centers & clubs without having to use flimsy clothe nets

Here is a picture of a composite material net
I am not saying this is a best for prolonging rallies or preventing net dribbles etc & I have seen many many designs but my point is that they all are sure better than flimsy clothe nets

Dec 14, 2022 Dec 14, 2022 #20 hi James we found that when the pimples bent back this created less spin except in the case of power shots r OK so you do admit long pips created strong spin in the case of returning pwoer shots or loops then ?

Please note that going forward high aspect ratio super long pips will just be referred to as super pips

on August 05, 2023 5:46 PM #1 I personally think pips rubbers should just be banned. Michael, I personally would love to see ITTF not only ban all pips but anti as well. But ITTF cannot do this because then pips & anti playere would form their own association , resulting in dilution of control ...

Today I accidentally ran into a design where the net does not get removed
However I would still prefer a non-clothe net

August 02, 2023 at 5:07 PM #1 I run our local small week club here in the states.

if you had two layers of 7.5% each, the total is 15% and that is OK. Look like the rule was written with this setup in mind. But I have seen blades with as many as 7 layers of composite material This would mean each layer cannot more than 2.14% of total thickness That is pretty thin LOL. But my ques...

Most sports associations such as IOC , ITTF etc are corrupt just as any othe political entity. That is unavoidable & nothing new. But the problem with ITTF is that ITTF wants players to pretend like there are no issues & always present a rosy picture to the public. But corruption is ITTF is ...

Loop is the term used for the name of stroke in table tennis that produces lots of top spin. It is called a loop because the ball does not travel in a flat trajectory but travels in a curved arcing trajectory. Loop is the most important stroke in modern sponge version of table tennis And now there a...

Of your forehand & backhand, what is your strong side & weakside ( (Question mostly about amateurs) What % of players (question more about amateurs) have no weakside (more or less equal forehand & backhand) ? What % of players (more about amateurs) have same style forehand & backhand...

1. Table tennis is one of the most complex individual sport there is. 2. And every player in table tenni is a legend in their own mind & also believe they can be a coach like Phil Jackson (NBA) or Red Auerbach (NBA) or Bill Belichick (NFL) . So based on above two factors, what really happens is ...

Apr 26, 2023 #19 Since its inception, the ITTF has always wanted TT to be a game that's accessible to everybody, even at the highest levels. So what you are saying is that the 9 rule and regulation changes from 1983 by ITTF have made the sport more accessible to older player & defenders (choppe...

Apr 30, 2023 #41 No, I said at the start that I don't want to get involved in the pips/anti debate and I was purely telling the story of the two-colour rule. In fact I do not give a flying left-handed @#&^£ about junk rubbers and I am certainly not going to "Pay close attention" anywh...

Apr 25, 2023 #124 There is always a peaceful solution. And so what I doing here again ? Seeking a violent soultion ? You can fight against the ITTF, we probably would all be interested to see the results of the case. But don't fight against us here. You won't get anywhere with it. How am I "fi...

In 2000 when I chose to fight ITTF corruption I entered a USATT tournament at University of Maryland. Rev. Larry Hodges’ thugs openly threatened me on internet forum telling me not to come.

Jun 8, 2023 #207 What makes you think table tennis will be expelled? According to that article, the IBA was given warnings by the IOC with concerns about their ethics, governance and finances. Have similar warnings been given to ITTF? If so, please provide a link so that I may review. Thanks HaHa Y...

Ok let me make this all simple for you. Let us assume IOC will look the other way when players will continue to use dangerous spoosters & spin glues & continue violating Rule 2.4.7 & ITTF will not reduce the maximum allowed sponge thickness to 1.7 mm to lengthen the rallies by minimizing...

To be very clear when I use the word “steroid” I don’t mean it literally but I use it just metaphorically. I am neither promoting steroids nor the treating of pips I am looking for chopping type long pips rubbers that will work halfway decent in the 40+ plastic ball ONLY era from long pips makers in...

This is not something that Tony's TableTennis will appreciate or approve

1. No, the backspin does not get reversed. So if the spin does not get reversed, what spin is on the returned ball again in this case then ? Louder...............I can't hear you 2. The trajectory of the swing is just as important as the contact point in determining the outgoing spin. I am trying t...

Can you please quote the subtitles that support your view given the precise reference I have provided to the video at 4 mins 30 seconds Io 4 mins 40 seconds in and how you are willing to reconcile your position on the intent on blahness and Tony with Coach Meng"s stated intent? Again, this is ...

Sunday at 10:54 PM #50 Not lying, difference of opinion as I see it. Lot of misunderstandings but no lies. Cheers L-zr Click to expand...Okay. If you cant read the subtitles, then you can't tell what the video is trying to say unless you speak Japanese so why are you arguing with someone who has re...

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. You meant to say 12 to 3 counter clockwise. Yes that is top spin but that has nothing to do with the contact point in t...

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...

I saw that video. Yeah it was so funny that Blahness was claiming it was a backspin chiquita I looked at the video in some detail. Take a look at the attachment chiquita lower left coach meng.jpg The coach says the contact is made at the lower left part of the ball. I know back spin can be created i...

For this analysis, to keep it simple I will explain the effect of varying each parameter keeping all other parameters the same However in reality the overall behavior of the pips is usually determined by a combination of 2 or 3 parameters which may be dominant. Or in some cases a single parameter ma...

Jslick89 asks :- Can you explain the difference between super pips (also known as high aspect ratio super long pips) and the type of long pips that are currently allowed by the governing bodies of table tennis? To start with I will be very brief & only talk in terms the 4 most important pip des...

Choppers do not seem to understand how much spin has been lost with the 9 rule / regulation changes since 1983. If you do not believe me, you can make a simple comparison test & see for yourself the difference in looper torture index . First test the social rubber you are now using against a gro...

Some questions for pips / anti players Do you honestly & seriously believe 1. majority of TT players (& the booster supremacists who control the ITTF) want pips / anti rubbers allowed in TT ? 2. the long pips on current ITTF LARC are useful in the 40+ plastic ball ONLY era 3. booster suprem...

Updated list of the 9 changes that were partially or fully aimed at limiting pips to speed up the extermination of choppers & other defenders or pips players. The work is far from complete & ITTF hereby pledges to work harder on behalf of booster supremacists. working on further limits on pi...

First of all the backhand is usually the weakside for almost all humans in tabletennis or any racket sport . It is almost very similar to being lefthanded or righthanded (More humans are righthanded than not though not as much as almost all humans have backhand as their wekside) . That said & w...
