I bought MX-P as a friend recommended it as a cheap alternative for Tenergy 05 , I use it on my forehand and will soon be adding it to my backhand replacing Tenergy 05. It's a really nice rubber , I used to use tenergy and would still say that is the best rubber money can buy , however This MXP is fantastic too. It only took a couple of hours to get used to it. It comes pre boosted so plays like tenergy, the sponge is medium so it's good for soaking in some heavy spin. It's a great rubber for forehand and I'm sure it will be on the backhand . It's a good rubber for people who can't afford to buy tenergy 05 but want a similar result. I have an offensive style and attack off both wings, this rubber is more than enough for me . It's ideal at £35 a sheet . The only problem is it needs replacing every 3-4 months because the boost wears off , it depends how much you play, for instance I train 5 days a week so I change every 3 months . Would recommend !

I have had these shoes for 2 months, they are comfortable , great for doing movement exercises , I train 5 days a week so they are hard wearing. Would recommend, shame about the price but they are the best shoes on the market.

The Petr Korbel is a great blade. I bought it as a replacement for the Timo Boll Spirit as I was looking for a slightly slower and more controllable blade, the korbel seems to deliver on all counts, I use tenergy with this blade and found this to be a great combination. My serving and receive seems to have improved as a result of the use of the korbel, it allows good feeling and is good for touch play. However the blade can also be used for aggressive topspin shots off both wings including drives. The price of the blade is excellent at around 40 pounds , much cheaper than many carbon blades but in my opinion it's better than many fast blades on the market . I would recommend this blade to any offensive players that strive for control/consistency in their game .

Tenergy o5 is my choice of rubber. It allows you to play an offensive game with loops from anywhere close or away from the table . Despite the speed , it's great on the short game for serves and touching , receiving is easy whether flicking or digging long . I love blocking with the rubber as the spring sponge technology allow absorption of the speed . I use this on my forehand and backhand sides , would recommend to all offensive players.

I bought this blade to try and achieve more speed, control and feeling in my game and it did exactly that . You can do anything with this blade from short push to topspin shots. It's comfortable to hold and easy to block with . This blade will accompany a fast rubber like tenergy because it will complement the speed and control of the rubber. I cannot find any floors in this product. The anatomic handle is very comfortable for this product. Would highly recommend this to anyone who has an offensive game !

I really like this shoe,
I bought mine for for the sole purpose of tt training on a regular basis. I bought them for about £120 hoping that the price reflects the quality, and they delivered. They are comfortable , attractive to the eye and lightweight so I have no problem doing drills that require lots of footwork . The rim of the sole feels sturdy so if you put pressure on it the rigidness provides additional support for you feet and ankles. The downsides to the energy force shoe it that it is expensive , however I feel that the high price reflects it's high quality . The other problem is that the grip of the sole is lost slightly if not regularly cleaned with water . Overall a great shoe for table tennis .
