Post subject: | Abbreviations, acronyms, short names |
I find that many times new members will ask a question like "what does EJ mean" and we often get lazy when we have to write the same word often so we shorten it. Soooooo... I'm starting a thread than will have all the shortend abbreviated names here so lets go TT in general: ALL: Allround "+" or "-" sign to show differential speed ALL : All-around blade or allround type of player AG : Age group BH : Backhand side of your blade or a back-hand stroke C.O.R. : the formula in the link's speed after impact one can calculate rebound speeds CPen - Chinese Penhold DEF: Defensive "+" but no "-" DEF - Defensive blade or rubber or type of player EJ: equipment junkie ETJ-edge tape junkie ETTC: European Table Tennis Championship Euro : European type rubber or European type stlye of looping FH: Forehand side or forehand orintated player FL: Flaired Handle GRR : Giant Round Robin (normally consisting of 7-8 players) players are seed but everyone play everyone to qualify for next round ITTF :International Table Tennis Federation Jap : Japanese rubber or japanese type rubber Jpn : Japanese rubber or japanese type rubber JPen : Japanese Penhold Jnr : Junior player MD: men’s doubles MS: men’s singles MT: men’s team event OEM: Original equipment manufacturer OFF: Offensive and "+" or "-" OPP: opponent O40's: Over 40 years old O50's: Over 50 years old etc OFF : Offensive OX : Orthodox, meaning no sponge PH : Penhold PP : Pimple Player PP : Ping Pong (just another name for Table Tennis) RPB : Reverse Penholder Backhand RR : Round Robin (normally 3 to 4 player group) before qualifying for next round SJ: service junkie SH : Shakehand SR: Spin reversal a term used to explain the the spin has been changed by a LP rubber to the opposite of what you think it will do ST : Straight handle TM: teammate TMS:Table Tennis Marketing Services International, the mysterious apparently privately owned Canadian "export" corporation that 85% of all ITTF funding is filtered through.

These categories are an easy way to determine if the blade is right for your style of play. They are: OFF+ For all out offensive play without compromise. OFF For direct offensive play with much spin, speed and power. OFF- For medium offensive play with much spin, speed and power. ALL+ For offensive all-round play mixing shots with topspin shots of variable spin. ALL For all-round players who mix attack and control shots in rallies ALL- For all-round players who emphasize control and consistency from all distances DEF For traditional defense with emphasis on the chop from a far distance Quote: Rubbers/sponges: ACS: Air-Capsule System (stiga rubber technology) BS: Bryce Speed BS FX: Bryce Speed FX BW2: Haifu Blue Whale II CR-?

This article lists some of them. Antispin – A smooth rubber with very low surface friction, used to defend against strong spin or to confuse the opponent. This type of rubber is rarely (if at all) seen in modern top-level table tennis, but is popular with amateur and veteran players. Blade – The wooden part of the paddle Crossover – The point where a player has to change from playing a forehand stroke to backhand stroke; often a target for attack, since it is difficult to return balls aimed at this area. Early – The rising part of a ball's bounce Inverted rubber – Rubber which contacts the ball with its smooth surface, and is glued to the rest of the bat with its pimpled surface. With a larger contact area this type of rubber generally produces more spin than pimpled rubber, although some rubbers are designed to have the opposite effect (see Antispin above). Heavy – Used to describe strong spin Late – The falling part of a ball's bounce Loop – A strong topspin stroke that aims to overpower the spin of the oncoming ball (usually backspin) Loose – A return which is too high, too long, has insufficient spin or a combination of the above. Easy for the opponent to attack or kill (compare tight, below) Multiball – Training method minimizing wasted time by using many balls which are continuously fed to the player, either by another player or a ball robot Penhold – Style of player who grips the paddle in a manner similar to holding a pen Pimples(Pips) – Rubber which contacts the ball with its pimpled surface; produces different effects on the spin compared with inverted rubber, due to the reduced contact area and flexibility of the pimples Sandwich rubber – Inverted rubber, with sponge Shakehand – The most popular table-tennis grip; similar to a tennis grip, with the index finger extended over the paddle head perpendicular to the handle Speed glue – Glue used to attach rubber to the blade; contains a high percentage of volatile solvents, which soak into the sponge of a rubber and increases the speed and spin of a stroke Third ball – The stroke hit by the server after the opponent's return of the serve. Because the serve can be used to make attacking difficult for the opponent, the third ball is frequently the first strong attacking stroke in a table-tennis rally. Tight – A return which is difficult for the opponent to attack. Always a low ball, usually in combination with being short, having strong backspin or both |

Post subject: | Re: Abbreviations, acronyms, short names |
I think we should keep this going. It's a good help for beginners who have no idea what I'm on about. I constantly find myself saying EJ at my club, and everyone thinks I'm talking about someone called Elijah. |
