ABOUT US - THE RICHMOND HILL TABLE TENNIS CLUB FOR THE OLDER ADULTS 55+

The RHTTC 55 had its humble beginning. It started with a few pioneers ventured to MCC with a few table tennis balls and some rudimentary racquets looking for some fun and recreation, knowing that the programs at this Centre were catering for seniors 55 and over. Before long, there was so much fun in playing table tennis that strangers became friends and when the games were on, the room was always filled with laughter.

As the group started to take shape, we have developed a belief that apart from recreational benefits of this game, friendship and tolerance should play a significant role in our approach.

Thanks to our hardworking volunteers , tournaments, Christmas parties, monthly lunch gatherings and weekly chit-chats over a cup of coffee and breakfast have become our normal routines.

With the help and understanding of the authority of Town of Richmond Hill, our members can now enjoy the luxury of playing table tennis at 4 different centres and at time slots that fit their personal schedules with reasonable equipment and friendly environment.

Blessed with the above favourable elements and our well-established friendly tradition over the years, all newcomers feel at home and we take pride in witnessing the membership enrolling in our program has grown by leaps and bounds recently.

It is through playing table tennis that this group has come into being and personally, it is very gratifying for us to come to round up a bunch of very good Friends as an added bonus. LONG LIVE RHTTC55+

A Joyful Potluck Celebration at McConaghy Community Centre

16th December, 2025 our group gathered at McConaghy Community Centre for a potluck party filled with warmth, laughter, and good food.

香港首度實測：樊振東 ALC 球拍｜Fan Zhendong ALC vs Viscaria 對比分析Hong Kong's first measured Fan Zhendong ALC rackets｜Fan Zhendong ALC vs Viscaria

香港首度實測：樊振東 ALC 球拍｜Fan Zhendong ALC vs Viscaria 對比分析在乒乓球愛好者圈中，Butterfly 的 Fan Zhendong ALC（樊振東 ALC）一登場便引起熱議。許多人好奇：這款以世界冠軍樊振東命名的底板，究竟與經典的 Viscaria 有何不同？最近，一位香港球友率先實測這兩款球拍，影片中提供了珍貴的第一手比較數據，對球友來說相當有參考價值。一、外觀與結構兩款底板都採用 ALC 纖維結構（Arylate-Carbon），但細節上仍有明顯差異： Fan Zhendong ALC ：木層略厚，手感更扎實；柄部刻有樊振東英文簽名與專屬 Logo，質感極佳。 Viscaria ：更為經典的中性設計，重量略輕，柄型偏細，握感靈活。實測顯示，FZD ALC 平均重量約在 89～92 克，比一般 Viscaria 稍重，提供更穩定的擊球感。二、擊球手感與性能表現 🔹 控制力 Viscaria 的手感柔和，容錯率高，適合中遠台過渡與防守；而 Fan Zhendong ALC 手感更「實」，回彈更強，出球速度快，利於進攻型打法。 🔹 力量與旋轉 FZD ALC 的甜區更集中，爆發力十足。樊振東本人以力量著稱，這款底板正是為了能量傳遞更直接、弧圈更強勁而設計。相比之下，Viscaria 的旋轉感稍細膩，弧線更高，適合講究節奏變化的技術型選手。 🔹 穩定性實測中，Fan Zhendong ALC 的穩定性表現突出，尤其在相持與快攻階段更容易壓制對手。但對初學者來說，Viscaria 的包容度更高，上手更容易。三、適合人群 Fan Zhendong ALC ：適合力量型、主動進攻的中高階球友，追求速度與爆發力。 Viscaria ：適合全面型選手，講究手感、旋轉與穩定性。四、實測總結這次香港實測讓球友首次以量化方式了解兩者差別： Fan Zhendong ALC 是 Viscaria 的升級進化版，延續其經典纖維結構，卻強化了力量與控制平衡。若你喜歡厚實擊球感與快速進攻節奏，FZD ALC 絕對值得一試。 Hashtags ： #乒乓球 #樊振東ALC #Viscaria #Butterfly球拍 #香港...
