  1. ESN now producing fully rubber players

    Are ESN now manufacturing Ai table-tennis professionals?
  2. Two new Cybershapes from Stiga (Clipper & AC)

    I am all in favour of the Cybershape blades, but... The CS abbreviation is already used for Chinese penhold. Things are going to get confusing.
  3. Penhold Rubber Selection Advice

    Want to add to this discussion as it's my junkie junk, just bear in mind I'm not a very good player. First went (some years ago) with Skyline when switching to pen - having been Tenergy, didn't really get on with it myself. But wouldn't mind trying again. Since then have tried (on FH) Tenergy...
  4. Soft or hard rubber?

    Being a noob myself, I feel that I'm totally qualified to answer this question badly. Hard rubbers have to be the best option. Though it may not make sense, you get more feeling. As in you can feel your blade. Think of the two things together, blade and rubber. But, hard rubbers are heavy, so...
  5. Getting my first table tennis table, outdoor - anyone have experience?

    That should be fine, shouldn't be a problem kept outdoors, would maybe be tempted by the 400x for stronger legs.
  6. What is STIGA Cybershape?

    Good luck selling your rubbers second hand.
  7. Getting my first table tennis table, outdoor - anyone have experience?

    The most important thing here is the resin surface. The kettler 10 has a thick one (10mm I think) whereas the outdoor 3 for instance has maybe a 4mm surface. This is still good, just make sure you get one with this surface for outdoor storage and play. Cornilleau also have special outdoor...
  8. Switching from Penhold to Shakehand - Advice Needed

    Don't leave! Penholders are a dying breed. I tried to swap back to shakehand, but quickly returned to penhold. My local coach refuses to train penholders. Guess we train ourselves.
  9. Victas V > 11 Extra

    Hi Tango I have been using V11 quite a bit. I have it on FH and BH on one bat And on BH with TripleDoubleExtra on FH on my other. Obviously originally I got it because of the weight and yes it is VERY VERY light. Trajectory is pretty flat (maybe too flat) not a very high arc. Hit a good shot...
  10. Rubber recommendations. Stiga? DNA?

    Not sure if anyone is interested but... I thought I'd respond seeing as how kind and generous with your thoughts you all were the first time around. So, basically, I took all of your advice and ended up with Victas 11 max forehand (black obvs) and a sheet of Calibra LT. I tried the V11 2.0...
  11. Are these shops legit

    First one, Happy Green Store looks alright, why don't you contact them?
  12. Table repair and maintenance

    Hi all - I have been wanting to know information for this for a while, but reminded having seen the excellent black and blue tables in Doha. Are there any products recommended for repair (scrapes and chips)? And more importantly, the paint products used? I have access to a blue Joola - which...
  13. Rubber recommendations. Stiga? DNA?

    Thanks!
  14. Rubber recommendations. Stiga? DNA?

    Ok, this. Brilliant. I think this is what I'm looking for.
  15. Rubber recommendations. Stiga? DNA?

    hey yoass, really i play far back from the table big loop - but it's not easy at the moment, no space and injury so trying to get a bit closer and retrain as more normal style.
