Some players said it's easier to generate spin with BH. However I find it very difficult to lift heavy backspin on BH, while on the FH it's easier. It felt like lifting a bowling ball. Even advanced player sometimes dump their BH open ups into the net.
Is it normal, like that? Or is the BH technique not correct?
I’ve noticed that there are large variances in blade weight even from more “premium” brands like butterfly. I’d assume the increased weight has to be from different wood density since the carbon layer is controllable and same for thickness. Personally I’ve seen innerforce alcs from low 80g to mid 90g, the range is actually ridiculous. Can anyone with a large collection share how much the speed changes with weight? 2g,5g, 10g? Is it a linear increase?
let’s say you are a decent player (+-1800USATT), you can comfortably loop, open, play short. To improve as fast as possible, is it better to only play matches against people around your own level ( you can play 10 different people), or only against one player who is marginally better ( say 2400 USATT) ?
I want to buy hao 1 penhold, but can't find any reviews
Gucci, the famous Italian fashion house best known for bags, clothing, and accessories, has launched an unusually luxurious object: a 🏓 table. But this is not just any table to play a game of 🏓 on. It is a true statement for lovers of luxury and design. And naturally, the high-end brand has taken this into account when it comes to the price. After all, the 🏓 table is being offered for a sky-high sum of money.
The prestigious Gucci has spectacularly expanded its lifestyle range with a brand-new 🏓 table. Instead of a simple ping-pong table, this is a specially designed design object.
The table is made of high-quality materials — such as walnut wood — and features the iconic Gucci print that has made the brand world-famous. Every detail exudes luxury, exactly as we have come to expect from the Italian-based fashion house. A more luxurious 🏓 table than Gucci simply does not exist.
However, the Gucci table is not only amazing to look at. After all, you can actually play a game on it. The table comes with four specially designed bats and eight table tennis balls. Everything can be neatly stored in a drawer on the side of the table, making the whole thing both practical and complete.
To enjoy it, however, you need to have very deep pockets. After all, Gucci is currently selling the table for a staggering $85,000. Consequently, only the wealthiest among us can actually place this unique design object in their man cave.
The 🏓 table showcases our artisanal craftsmanship through a walnut wood construction with a contemporary look,” Gucci itself states. “This unique object not only expands our lifestyle offering but also elevates it to a higher level.” The product is therefore clearly intended for people who place great value on exclusivity and style, and who wish to enrich their interior with something special. And yes, a respectable $85,000 must be shelled out for it.

I don't know how good or bad the choice is. I just went with what research I could do and I'm pining to try it out this evening
Hi Guys, i am looking for a custom racket and need some recommendations. I am an intermediate player with balanced gameplay of both blocking and attacking. I can play most basic shots with Topspin being my favourite.
I am thinking of Joola Micron rubber but cant decide on the blade to go with this rubber. Is Mircon too fast or should i go with Joola Vizon. Please suggest? TIA
My first few racket builds were carbon blades (money wasted). I was not skilled enough to use a carbon blades. I eventually settled into an all wood blade (Nittaku Violin) in which has been a phenomenal piece of equipment for me. Most of the players I play against at the club level are using carbon blades. Never once have I felt as though their carbon blades created a speed advantage for them and never once have I felt like my blade (one that people complain about it being slow btw) has been too slow to win points.
I believe carbon is overhyped for the club level player and all wood blades are a better choice for most amateur players, unless you lack the physical strength to create speed.
Let me add that i do LOVE table tennis equipment and buying the new shiny gear is fun. But from a pure performance standpoint, it seems unnecessary and expensive for no real improvement, and may even be detrimental to the club players game.
Lately on Chinese social media, many people have been posting about the Z03 rubber , it’s basically sparked everyone’s “I need to conquer this thing” mindset, haha.
“Fan Zhendong wins with a new rubber? People buy it to see if it’s really that good. Fan Zhedong loses with it? People buy it to find out just how bad it actually is.”
He wouldn't reach that ball, right? Looking at where he was standing, This might sound very dumb but I was thinking about that
My buddy is going to China next week and I was gonna send him with a shopping list of rubbers. Where in any of the major cities should I send him to pick up some gear? Specifically Chinese long pips.
Learning a new motor pattern is very hard, so a helpful trick is to use one you know to help understand and preform it better. For instance for the backhand finish you can think of throwing a frisbee instead of finish with your forehand side facing up. As someone knows what throwing a frisbee is but not yet how to do a backhand finish. Or on the forehand saluting, to finish in the right position you try to finish in the salute position. Instead of telling someone finish a your forehead with 45 degree angle with an arm snap with your fingers this way blah blah. table tennis shots can have so many complex patterns you need to learn so doing something else that already is the movement is a better way of leaning than trying to do 5 different new things.
So what are some of your favorites that coaches have told you, (or if you are a coach) or you have just figured out that resembles how a quality shot should be. It’s one of the best learning tools and would love to know your favorites.
Planning to get
Yinhe uranus U-2 blade
With
Palio AK47 blue sponge on my FH
With
Palio AK47 yellow sponge on my BH
I play attacking but mostly all rounder.
My motivation to upgrade is that my old racket just doesn't feel the same and the spin has reduced by a ton.
My level is just local for now but I plan to go professional if I am able to through college.
I can get the racket in a few months from china which is a genuine money saving trick.
Please let me know if I can upgrade or is this okay,
Im in India.
I was a table tennis professional player in China and retired in 2010. Since then, I have been starting coaching for 15 years.
Traveling around the world is my dream. Recently an ideal popped up in my mind is that can I travel to different countries, providing short term coaching to make some money for covering expenses and flight tickets.
Ideally, I would like to stay at a place for one to three months. It will be exciting to explore local places and interact with local people.
I can speak English and Chinese, there is no language barrier for me to travel and coach.
Do you have any suggestions?
Guys i have a tournament tomorrow but i havent played for 2 weeks because of my exams so whats the best way for me to play (long pips )
I play during school break (15 minutes). I'm not the best, but I can beat some people. However, for some reason, I can't hit the forehand. Even if the ball comes in a perfect position for me to hit the forehand, I move lightly and use my backhand. That's all I can do. I recently learned to serve with spin, and that's already a big improvement for me.
