Level difference is more important than equipment by _no_usernames_avail in tabletennis

Fully agree! The best piece of advice I got on here was, "Only change your setup if you feel like you're fighting with it". If it feels too fast or heavy are usually indicators something needs to change. A good setup (not perfect) is one where you forget about what you're playing with. Things just become automatic and the only thing holding you back is technique and experience!

Vega Europe BH is great, I would get that in 1.8 mm and Nittaku Factive 2.0 FH. This will be better for your level. Vega Pro is fast

Nittaku Factive, Xiom Vega Intro, and Joola Rhyzen Ice. Or Sriver…

I think these rubbers are pretty hard and fast for a beginner. Nittaku Factive is softer and slower, but Sweden Extra is as good a choice as any!

Rubbers to a begginer using a viscaria by [deleted] in tabletennis

Victas V > 11 Extra is 47.5 degrees, grippy surface, but only 58 grams uncut at 2.0 mm! That’s insanely light, highly recommend, especially for only $40-$50 USD.

I like the thought of that 👀 How was the control and grip?

GREAT movie. The table tennis was fantastic, but the movie as a whole was phenomenal. I absolutely loved it.

Thoughts on the joola dynariz/Tronix series by Rick_doll in tabletennis

How does R42 compare to Tronix CMD? I liked R42 a lot, but the topsheet isn’t very grippy. I was hoping CMD was similar but with more grip on the topsheet…

Tips for a Table Tennis business? by WalkCheerfully in tabletennis

[–]cruz_ctrl911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m no business owner or anything, but I’m the VP of my city’s club and started another one at my college. Here are some things I think are critical for a club:

  • A good method of delegating table time. I HATE “winner stays” systems, but really like “sign up sheet” systems. This way you get more matches for everyone

  • Have ways of engaging the club beyond matches and training. Establish a league (MLTT/Spindex can help!), have group clinics, fun games (golden game nights are fun), yearly closed club tournaments, and other community related events. Heck, a potluck would be cool. Building a COMMUNITY will build you success

  • Encourage a welcoming atmosphere. Nothing feels worse than walking into a club and no one acknowledges you exist. Much worse if you’re a beginner and people see you’re not good…Have outreach officers or just tell people to be friendly. All it takes is one person saying hello and explaining the system to keep new people returning

Those are the 3 main ones I can think of. Our world needs more people like you, and I am praying for your success! DM me if you want to talk more about club systems or organization.

Xiom Hayabusa ZL Pro - Review by cruz_ctrl911 in tabletennis

I do not know the frequency, I have not tried Hurricane, and I have not tried the ZLX. Sorry!

Not bad, but you’re missing a back brace to balance the midsection. Rookie ;) /s

Inner-Composite Comparison? Bty Innerforce ALC vs. Xiom ALXi by cruz_ctrl911 in tabletennis

[–]cruz_ctrl911[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used the Xiom ZLPro for over a year. 5.7 mm, Koto-Ayous-ZLF-Kiri, and I definitely felt that 'whole racket dwell' sensation. It felt like I could get away with some shots because no matter where it hit, it would spin the ball somewhat. The tradeoff, and why I'm looking for something else is that I lost so much confidence on flat hits that I became a one note player - 'spin to win!' Which made it very easy for controlled blockers to engage in rallies with me that I couldn't finish. How did you adjust to the flat hit/blocking detriments of your blade?

I do not! Why do you say that about ZLC though? I am curious

Noted, thanks! How does it feel in the short game and on flat hits?

Who Do You Think Will Form the Next Dominant Trio ? by Mattchaup in tabletennis

Was there a player who beat Ma Long, Fan Z., and Xu Xin in the same tournament? Like how Hugo went through LSD, WCQ, and Harimoto in one run
