Is that you Jishan? 🤣

Gentle heating together with soaking and stirring to break up lumps?

Haha yes don’t forget these guys would stamp or grunt loudly every shot too, so hearing which rubber they were using was kind of difficult!

Now we are waiting for TTD vs Donic Legends And TTD vs DHS Legends (probably hard to arrange this one)

And if it’s near her crossover point she can choose to drive fh inverted or bh lp. Nightmare to play against!

I know the conversation has moved along, and I realise that Deng Yaping is far from representative of all or even most lp players, but just in case anyone thinks her backhand game was all about that lp chop block, this is what should expect to happen if you played any kind of Topspin ball into...

Yes blocking and spin reversal, but also hard flat hits… gives opponents an awful ball to deal with, but tend to cause the pimples to snap off quite quickly. Sponged lp or short pips ox seems to be better lasting, but much less reversal. Maybe I can’t have everything, but I certainly haven’t...

Did you try all these? Did you make any notes about what you thought of each sheet? What about longevity? I don’t really chop with lp, I push, block and hit. I want something that gives a good amount of wobble and reversal and also doesn’t break quickly if I hit with it. I liked dornenglanz...

No particular order, and doubtless if you ask tomorrow you get a different answer! JO Waldner- so good I bought a blade with his name on, it didn’t make me play like him Deng Yaping - so good, I always liked playing with combination bats so I bought the same backhand rubber as her, I wasn’t...

A technically deficient player who hardly trained??🤣

Either Dawei 388d or Saviga Monster 77 are both cheap. Ox (no sponge) will give the funkiest effects, a thin sponged sheet will allow you to generate a little more of your own spin and may be easier to control but also easier to play against (in my experience)

This is anti not pips…Luka twiddles a bit, you can see when he has the spinny rubber on backhand that he has no real problem playing a solid “normal” shot. You can see Olah knows how to play the disruptive balls and is able to overpower Luka, this is what good players do to lp or anti players...

I think… that I need a good way to explain to my wife that she gets a weekend at home with the kids whilst I take a trip to the south of France to watch table tennis!

Great day out, wonderful players. Tin tin was just too good, Drinkhall was playing well, and was absolutely clutch at the key moments!
