  1. Koki Niwa

    Looks like he's using that at Bulgaria Open.
  2. How many left handed ping pong players are here?

    I'm left handed but when I did a coaching course we had to use opposite hand to see how it feels for a new player. If you decide to use your opposite hand it will give you an opportunity to ground correct technique with a fairly blank canvas. It could actually be exciting to start again.
  3. Blade for beginner to develop technique

    Yasaka Sweden Classic is a great blade and has the limba ayous combination mentioned above. It's very similar to the Appelgren Allplay. I'd jump at it. As far as rubbers go I've not used this particular ones but if expect them to be fine. For something softer that blade would be nice with Lkt...
  4. Looping bat

    Yinhe 896?
  5. Falco and tuning H3

    Interesting thread, sooner or later I'm going to try this exact combo. Will read up elsewhere also but good to have all info in same thread.
  6. Seeking Advice on Next Step Rubbers & Blade

    For interest, what blade do you have? I've just started using Rhyzm 425 on my Appelgren and it's fast enough. Is it possible to take the ball earlier to give your opponent less time?
  7. DHS Hurricane 301?

    Currently I'm using a Euro ALL/All+ blade Appelgren Senso with Euro rubbers. My rubbers are Rhyzm 425 and Baracuda Big Slam. Have also used Vega Europe DF and Gewo Flexxon Soft. My level is intermediate around US1600 and I'm an attacking player looking to loop 3rd ball if possible. I wouldn't...
  8. Appelgren Allplay upgrade

    Deleted comment. Can't be bothered with an argument.
  9. Appelgren Allplay upgrade

    Just bought 3 used blades. Waldner Senso V1, TSP Swat, Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive. After giving each of these a test I've got a bit better idea of what suits me. Good fun anyway.
  10. All Top CNT Plyaers Go to Australia Open

    Annoys me that they attend as a team. Pity the players can't decide for themselves. Seems it's either all play or none play.
  11. Appelgren Allplay upgrade

    Not sure what competition level is. This is me in February playing in a tournament. I'm in blue. Blade is Appelgren, forehand is Gewo Flexxon Soft 1.9mm. A comment came out of this that I could do with something a bit faster. https://youtu.be/xxdmh6CZcPk
  12. Appelgren Allplay upgrade

    The Primorac thing has got me interested. I commented on another thread about taking people's advice, maybe I should do the same. On another thread I read it's a bit of a sin to discuss Euro vs Japan Primorac, what's the deal? Both good?
  13. Your spouse disliking you playing table tennis

    I'm no Psychologist (probably can't even spell it right) but perhaps shes feeling that she, and the family comes second to table tennis and that you love it more than the rest of them. It might be fair enough because table tennis is pretty good but perhaps telling her she's number 1, buy her...
  14. Appelgren Allplay upgrade

    Yes, in one sense you are right however I do like my equipment, so to me it's important to have something I think looks nice. I'd also never get the Xiom Diva. Girls blade. :) Thanks for the suggestions everyone. My head is saying Samsonov Alpha. Waldner Senso Carbon I've always been...
  15. Appelgren Allplay upgrade

    Lebesson had weird head shape. Quite wide at the shoulders making swapping rubbers between blades near impossible. Not sure Alpha is that compact anymore. Stiga Azalea Offensive. Pink. Girl's blade. I've played with Xiom offensive s, do you think Fextra would be much faster than this? I...
