After a point the extra frequency doesn't help. However I have a high speed video of my toxic hard bat being hit by a TT ball. It is clear the ball pushes or deforms the blade and the ball bounces back before the toxic 5 blade can rebound to help push the ball back. All the energy the ball...

Someone recently posted a lot of links and said that "wrapping" the ball is good. Can anyone explain a few things about "wrapping" the ball. 1 I don't really understand what metaphors are. Can you explain what people mean by wrapping the ball.

Today I put a rubber and TT ball in our hydraulic system to watch how the force increases as a function of compression. Why bother? Because I want to know if rubbers really bottom out. I can calculate the energy that the ball has when it hits the paddle. Eventually the ball stops relative to...

The TT manufacturers ratings on their rubber hardness or softness are bogus. The TT manufacturers usually have only one rating and that is a durometer value from an arbitrary scale. First, a 2.2 mm rubber is softer than an 1.8mm when the rubbers are made of the same sponge material. The Paddle...

People have control. They also have consistency. This is important to understand. If you try hitting a TT ball as a certain point while using a robot you will find there is an error from where you intended the ball to go and where it really lands. If you measure the error as a distance...

Assuming you can swing the paddle at 30 m/s ( base ball pitchers throw balls at 40 m/s ) then you divide that by the radius of the ball to get radians per second and then divide again by 2*PI to get revolutions per second. The number is about 239 revolutions per second and this is MUCH higher...

https://www.foambymail.com/closed-cell-foams.html The trick is to make the gas pockets/cells relatively the same size and not try to merge into one big cell. It is the gas that is trapped in the cells that is springy. An "optimal" sponge would have very little foam material and be mostly gas and...

The weight/mass of a tt ball doesn't change. However, the force of impact does as a function of mainly relative impact speed but there are some other factors. So what is the force of impact if the ball hits the paddle with a relative speed of 10 m/s? Some assumptions are necessary, state them...

I found this vide. It shows how Timo Boll likes to loop. Timo Boll explains what the body must do to make a good loop. What he doesn't explain is that he has found, by trial and error, the best timing/conditions when to hit the ball and where on the ball to make contact. Timo is making a...

Two players place an O-ring and a TT ball on the O-ring 4 inches from the right hand edge and corner if both players are right handed. You get a point every time you hit the opponents TT-ball off the O-ring. When you are done with this then place the O-ring and balls in your BH corner. Play...

Too many people are talking as if they know something when they don't . One of my favorite quotes is

I haven't ordered rubbers from tabletennis11.com for a while. During that time I got a new card with an updated expiration date and CVV. The tabletennis11 website said it my card was acceptable but then it told me to get the transfer authorized by calling a number that didn't stay up on the...

This allows distributors, like the Paddle Palace, to buy Japanese rubbers more cheaply. However, none the the reduce cost is being past on to US. Even to Euro has dropped relative to the USD but ESN rubbers aren't cheaper either.

I have simulations of TT ball trajectories. I started the simulation over 10 years ago. I haven't done much with they lately but since I am now retired, I have more time to do simulations. Years ago, I showed a simulation of a TT ball being hit from about net height or a little lower at...

Both terms get used to describe how the ball rebounds off the rubber but trampoline effect is a MUCH better description of what is really happening. Lets see who comes up with the answer first.

Timo Boll evaluates a fast and slow paddle. The first bounce test is obvious. The trajectory test should be done with a machine so the strokes are the same. The same goes for the spin test. I would have liked to know the spin to speed ratio given the same stroke. Boll is wrong about the contact...

I started play TT just before freshman year in high school. I broke my right wrist so I couldn't play high school football for a few weeks. I played left handed through my sophomore year in college. I was 5th best at Oregon State in the spring tournament. The next year 3 of the 4 above me left...

Above is a handicap table for games to 11 for 3 games out of 5 type matches. Assuming there is player A with a USATT rating 40 point higher than player B, then player B would start with a 1 ball handicap in games to 11. The right hand column is the point difference. The left hand column is...

I thought it would be a good time to post this handicap table table as TT clubs will be re-opening and may like to have an all club handicap tournament to get to see each other again. I have only seen 3 people from the club since the lock down. My somewhat local club will re-open on 2 Aug...

WingTT mentioned me. This topic is on mytt looping racket angle - Alex Table Tennis - MyTableTennis.NET Forum - Page 2 In short, I agree with pingpongpaddy. Rolling your wrist is not good. If you roll your wrist the the angle of the paddle will change from millisecond to millisecond. The others...
