Well, for me yes...you're at a higher skill level than me I'm sure so perhaps it won't be as meaningful to you. But, you do some defined drills, get to hit once or twice against the robot and Ross or Joe to take a look at what you're doing and let you know if there's a correction to be made. This past week the drills we did:
1) FH-BH push alternating. 2) Deep, fast, dead ball serve. 3) 4th ball attack. 4) One other, I forget... Once the drills and robot work are done there's a few minutes of king of the hill games. All-in-all, I think for $6 if you're a Lifetime member it's quite valuable. |

yeah it'd be 8 dollars for me but like you said it'd be worth it. And you don't have to pay to play in the tournament so you should make it worth the trip to play in it, it would be a good chance for you to use those skills. I talked to Joe about it on Saturday, i've known him for a long time, him and Ross do a lot of good things for table tennis here in the cities. Well hopefully we can finally meet up this weekend.

Thanks for t he info. Just ordered a pair myself. Sending my under-sized 13 and 1/2 adidas back to TT Pioneers. Seems like most TT shoe manufacturers think players have narrow feet.

Aren't the soles a bit too thick on these New Balance shoes?
The whole idea of specialized TT/badminton/racquetball shoes is that they are not regular sneakers, the "underfoot" part of the shoe is not as unneccessarily thick as with regular sneaker, which is certainly good as with thick soles you run much higher risk of twisting an ankle when you jump left and right during the TT match... |

I use Adidas basketball shoes (can't remember the model). These are
among the lightest bball shoes available in Canada. Great for Table
Tennis.
I tried some Stiga Speedgrip shoes before but they pretty much sucked. I find most of the shoes manufactured by TT companies are low quality. They just can't compete with the quality and technologies of established shoe brands. |

Perhaps, but for those of us who have (as I said earlier) "freakishly wide feet" specialized shoes are hard to find. These are marketed as racquetball shoes. We'll see. I didn't say they were a perfect TT shoe but I think thought they'll be an order of magnitude better than what I use now. If I wasn't so embarrassed I'd post a pic of my current TT "footwear". |

Welcome 2winged, hope they work out for you too. Just (literally) received mine. Seem well made enough, I've always had good luck with New Balance shoes.. They're wide enough for my feet in the size 12 without excess length in the toe area. And, at least on the tile floor in the breakroom here at work, wow, the gum rubber soles stop on a dime. The other nice thing is they're not gaudily decorated...especially important to older, mature folks like myself Now, just to break them in... |

if anyone is planning to buy some tt shoes they have to try the top of the line yonex badminton shoes, they are amazing they give u so much bounce and energy, your legs will thank u, much less fatigue, it will add another level to ur game that u never knew u had.....they r a bit pricey but worth every penny, instant gratification. lateral movement is spectacular, there light and very very comfortable. i don't think yonex could have got more out of a shoe then they did out of these ones, i really don't know what more i could ask for in a shoe ....brovo to yonex on these ones. great for people with wide feet too
and i have tried a lot of t.t. shoes like mizuno, donic, the 1st and 2nd generation addidas clima cool. i think they added about 100 points or more to my rating instantly, no joke! the link is below if anyone would like to take a look http://www.yonex.com/badminton/shoes/index.html |

Yasaka G(atien)-Pro DeLuxe shoes are supposed to be a bit wider than usual and I read a few very good reviews, BUT it seems that I can't find them anywhere in 10.5 or better in 11 here in the USA...
http://www.americantabletennis.com/get_item_gpd_yasaka-g-pro-de-luxe-shoes.htm This is one of the links (they don't have them however), in some other place they only have 11.5 and 12... as I recall... |

I've contacted my only local supplier/reseller - Guterman International Sports - let's see what they have... but if they only are a web store then I guess I am out of luck. I switched back to my old NB shoes, they have a thinner sole than expensive Nike my mom bought me as a present... they are really good sneakers but a bit too thick-soled - I feel that sometimes my ankles are about to try and twist when I make a sudden push/jump/jerk...

For me, any running shoes from BIG5 are good, and they have a lot on sale. They have a very nice grip and they are light weight. I used Butterfly before but I didnt like it. It was also very expensive with shipping.
